How much more proof do R&B singers need that their fans don't want to hear them rap.

[The G.O.D II]

You have almost negative 10,000 rep. How much more proof do you need that we don’t want you posting anymore?

Fixed

 

[Trilogy]

Abel the GAWD the only one that can pull this off

also THEY.

 

[NotAnFBIagent]

Naw, Chris is actually a good rapper. But him being an R&B singer, I don't care to hear him rap.

I'm only familiar with those first 2 Weeknd songs you posted, but there's a difference between rapping and doing a half-singing/half-rapping melody. The Weekend is doing the latter in the those first 2 videos.

 

[Newzz]

Weeknd is good, but Breezy still better imo

 

[Spiritual Stratocaster]

Just look at how these rnb writers are so entrinched in hiphop,they are more focused on "flowing" and the words rhyming.
Thats the least important thing you should be worrying about in rnb.

Bunch of nikkas tryna get in The Weeknd's lane and shyt.

 

[Spiritual Stratocaster]

And then they wonder why Bruno went plat and got all them awards..

People wanna hear singers sing like back in the day..

I mean shyt it was subtle in r&b songs about getting p*ssy...now singers just openly talking about fukking bytches and shyt.

It's like singers tryna be just as vulgar as the rappers now.

 

[Baka's Weird Case]

frank ocean can actually rap

*average rapper. He’s good enough to make words rhyme and not embarrass himself, but he clearly should be singing

It's been a long time coming,If they haven't got the message by now though
Its not just the rapping,it's the singing rapping is almost just as bad.
Or should I call it melodically talking.
But lets face it,even if singers started singing again,it wouldn't change the fact that writers of today are trash for the most part.
Most of these guys aren't exactly poets anymore,writing is a lost art.
When was the last time you actually heard a singer say something beautiful on a record
They talk about love with the same complexity that a sixth grader could.

They also cuss too much

It's absolutely disgusting breh !!!

Vulgarity was always implied but now a days nikkas just straight up cussing and being disgusting .

 

[RammerJammer]

None of his rapping songs ever make any noise and he makes too many of them.

He's a singer in this era.

None? C'mon fam

It's cool when some people do it, others not so much. I mean, to each his own, but I like 6lack because his lyrics are actually good most of the time. As far as the Weeknd, what he does is more singing to a rap tempo than rapping, him actually rapping is (Proof of this is Glass Table Girls off House of Ballons)
