Autotune did r&b in.
That T-pain sound was hurting music.

Came in here to mention him. As much he influenced hip-hop, his fusion of it with R&B might have killed R&B.Autotune did r&b in.

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

Also T Pain in 2006 with the techno hybrid sound of Timbaland of Justin Timberlake second album done classic RnB in. The "new blacks" wanted nothing to do with the traditions of old, so they embraced the feminine David Guetta lame disco/ techno sound for the club.
Also the trap phase of rap killed it. 06 onward was the real great depression for black music. Now black couples don't have anything to play at on their weddings outside of old music. Very unnatural progress music wise.
Once "thugs" became the new sex symbol...
I also have another theory dealing with R. Kelly. It's weird because he's a legend when it comes to R&B...but he's a pervert.
...his writing became more and more overtly sexual until it was corny. I think he wrote for a lot of artist that over-sexualized the genre ...
It's funny, the decline of R&B seems to parallel the decline of compassion in the community.

The love and "soul" has been systematically drained out of black music at the commercial level. To young up and coming artists, there's no incentive to making honest, heartfelt music anymore.

I agree with this 100 % even T pain was singing on songs , he had his own thing
R Kelly had these dudes out here soft rapping and it went from there

civilize the savage. Criticize the parish
RnB love songs have no soul in them. They don't sound or feel/genuine and mostly talk about sex alone. Hip hop and RnB also seem to be fusing with no talent rappers singing and singers rapping.

It died when Neo Soul did. When Angie Stone, Musiq Soulchild, Heather Hedley and so many others couldn't sell anymore I was certain it was a wrap.
