I asked ChatGPT who were the past and present best male r&b singers

[Ol’Otis]

Nikka been singing since lion King on Broadway

So has Jason Weaver

 

[Tribal Outkast]

written for Tony Braxton/Sza/Drake/Ariana grande/tye dolls sign to name a few. He has a grammy and his third album is currently over a billion streams. Currently, he's ahead everyone on the present list not named Chris.

I think he’s dope. Dude just blew up though. I’m telling you man, streaming and people not caring about tv and like video music countdown shows anymore has robbed so many artists of the past 10 to 15 years. Like imagine if 106 and Park or TRL was still a thing. I mean Bow Wow still calls himself Mr 106 & Park. What would be the equivalent to that now? Mr. Spotify?

So has Jason Weaver

Jason weaver hasn't dropped an album since 30 years ago

Jason is def a legend off the lion king and for what he mean to chicago, but Leon Thomas is actively releasing music as well as producing and writing for others

He got the mutt deluxe coming soon, so I'm looking forward to copping on vinyl.

 

[Art Barr]

He did. R&B was his bread and butter

This.

Mike at any early age ws arguably the most advanced rnb artist that ever lived.

All his early solo stuff before off the wall. Is master piece reflective work. Way way beyond his years. Yet mike is more advanced than mostly all his contemporaries at an early age as a solo act.



Ex.

you can just start from the beginning of his solo work anywhere and be floored.

Just whaf i believe is the first three songs
from music and me by michael via tracklisting on google.

He really should be at the very top of this list or number 2 at worst. I can accept Stevie being number one but thats it

 

[CashmereThoughts]

Who is that?

you don't listen to R&B right?
