Do today's Black artists have soul?

[I love Latina women]

Nothing mainstream.

90% of this shyt is the most soulless, shallow and plastic music ever created.

This generation of r&b is straight ass.

This generation ain't even making R&B music

Brent Faiyaz
Jhene Aiko
Frank Ocean Channel Orange is a great album
Sonder

only ones i can think of at the moment

Jhene Aiko

I find her attractive more so than her music

 

[Ol’Otis]

I find her attractive more so than her music

tbh breh i dont listen to her neither

but it seems like more than a few people like her music

Word

I like the vibe she be going for but from the few songs of her's I've listened to, not enough of them really keep my attention

Jhene Aiko

Get all the way out of here...that girl is

Frank Ocean is a diamond amongst garbage though. Channel Orange is a straight classic, Blonde is just ok.

Blonde was def forgettable

 

[3rdWorld]

No.
How can there be Soul in Black music when it is directed by Whites, Hispanics and druggies??

 

[Ya' Cousin Cleon]

you cannot push black folk out of a genre of music

there's black folk still making Jazz music to this day

On the other side, you got hella cacs with their hands in the R&B bag
Adele
Sam Smith
Joss Stone
Timberlake
Ariana Grande
Tuxedo

Some Black folks say that Black artists are being pushed out of R&B by cacs
True or False?

 

[Wear My Dawg's Hat]

No.
How can there be Soul in Black music when it is directed by Whites, Hispanics and druggies??

But why is this?

Where are the Berry Gordys, Kenny Gambles and Leon Huffs, the Al Bells, the Sylvia Robinsons, the dikk Griffeys, the Don Corneliuses, the Frankie Crockers, the Jack Gibsons, the John Johnsonses of today?

Where are "keepers of the flame" of soul that we used to have in such abundance, pretty much up until the 1990s?

 

[Tom Foolery]

I'mma call all your bluffs and say you really don't want that music.

You're complaining just to complain.

 

[GoAggieGo.]

I don’t listen to enough of “today’s music” to really answer this question. The artists I listen to display it through their music, IMO. Was just listening to 8ball & MJG on my commute this morning, but I understand they wouldn’t be classified as an artist of today.

 

[Danie84]

You have to go on a scavenger hunt to discover Black artist today with Soul

 

[TEH]

I would post some stuff but this thread is too narrow minded for that - I agree there’s nothing better than 70’s R&B but there is some good music out there in the mainstream and a lot more not in the mainstream...

 

[BmoreGorilla]

Plain and simple the church isn’t the cornerstone of the community that it used to be. That’s where people learned how to sing from the diaphragm. And being that the topic was God it was gonna come from the soul

 

[Lesfilles]

Nah, and these songs goofy as hell too. People talking about 'so and so is a good writer' and it's just all childish trendy stuff. No one is writing songs for forever, everyone just chasing that in the moment #1.
