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.

All about trapping and fukking thots from in the club.

Theory; art and music is being deemphasized in school, so, kids would be less likely to want to do traditional singing.

Yep, all about standardized testing and learning IT is literally the polar opposite of what black folk engaged in the arts from previous generations. They killing off what made black folk so talented and special in the first place.

That's not what's happening at all, anywhere in the country. How do you think this stupid ass shyt is true?

Yeah Kellz' R&B thug era, albeit classic, was the beginning of the end.

You make the same threads over and over

R&B is now sold and marketed to white people. They don't want hear that nikka singing and nikka beats and drums. Aesthetically its too much for them.

It will come back

When some new artist decides to go retro and duplicate the 90s sound

And every artist decides to ride his or her wave

The talent and passion is lacking. I think that's the main thing people are upset about. No so much the evolving sound. The general lack of unappreciation for the craft of music by the fans and artist. The best should be praised for their talent. Low level lyricist, singers, rappers, producers and musicians are being praised for being copycats and uninspiring. Fans and Artists care more about an image than they do the material. Lack of diversity is also a problem. Seems like the industry is catering to a non black audience. So we are seeing less black faces and black music aesthetics in the R&B music now. The "black sound" is being phased out.

So why are these art and music programs being cut from schools, only to be replaced by testing and random nonsense?
