When R Kelly stopped singing and started talking/quasi rapping over songs (Ignition, Thoia Thong, Hotel etc). Likes of Chris Brown, Trey Songz emulated him and eventually the genre devolved to this truly mediocre era where the Weekend, Bryson Tiller & PND are perceived as vanguards
Good point I sometimes felt I was the only one noticing this I was like wtf when he started doing this.

Even the R&B Jesus D'Angelo talked about the pop-state of r&b in the liner notes of Voodoo:wow:


And as much as people blow jodeci up all their albums were half assed


Trap-Soul:scusthov:

Also when nikkas start taking the African influence out of black music and replacing it with European influence

IMO when superstar hip hop producers started trying to produce for R&B. The great singers don't just have great voices, they know how to get something different out of a song. You can't take any church choir girl off the street and think "my bombass beats" and autotune will make up the difference.

shoutout to tank background vocals doe



that type of sound you vibe to in the whip getting high with a tenda before you press it
the issue is you need composers/producers/artist who are musically literate not just fukking around with programs playing by feel
