Maaannn....dat's my shyt.

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.

 

[Ol’Otis]

Around 2000
Even the R&B Jesus D'Angelo talked about the pop-state of r&b in the liner notes of Voodoo


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


Trap-Soul

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

If i hear one more fukkin song with those tssssststststsssssstststs hi-hats, I will scream!

If yall wanna be real about it New Jack Swing was the beginning of the end even tho we have great R&B from that era and all thru the 90s. But that kinda started it imo

 

[StayOffMe]

Nothing but truth in here. I listen to Luke James. That man has vocals out of this world and his falsetto aint nothing to play with.

only thing fukked is the songwriting/vocals of 99% of these nikkas
should be going crazy with all the technology available right now

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.

 

[Osmosis]

Craig David and Solange just dropped good albums

 

[010101]

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

[Donald Trumps Twitter]

When people started being vulgar and talking about stealing nikkas bytches in they music

 

[I love Latina women]
