the shiit ain't good but revisting old music it wasn't that good either. It's standout tracks in every era that get cherry picked to prove a point
nikkas love Stakes Is High and that entire album is just complaining about hiphop in 1996
Facts.
De La was definitely some crying ass nikkas.
Me, Myself, and I was a “the state of the culture sucks” song made in 1988, right at the beginning of the “golden era.”
shyt, Common made I Used to Love H.E.R. in 94, right at what’s considered the peak of the “golden era”.
Wu and Snoop had just dropped the year before, Nas and Big debuted that year, and Common was cryin even then.
If you like guitar and deep bass over tight drums andl ain't listening to Khruangbin you're LOSING

A lot of these people will admit they they don't listen to anything new but simultaneously know nothing new is good lol.
Plus that Jam & Lewis album just dropped. Two "superproducers" who enlisted plenty of "sangers" over 90's style production.
Watch that shyt still flop
I don't see your point... Just because it flops doesn't mean it wasn't great music.... Records just don't sale anymore without a lot of games and gimmicks...... but you knew that already

You might be a lil dishonest here..... as a nikka that came of age in the 90s and grew up on 80s/90s R and B, me and my peers still understood that musically, or from a musicianship standpoint, our R&B gen didn't have shyt on Soul/R&B/Funk from the 60s and 70s...... and no, music has not evolved.... at all

This.... and new age nikkas will claim that music has evolved, when it fact, it's just repackaged shyt from 60s/70s... hell 80s even......

Guarantee folks aren't listening to any Kamasi Washington albums or Adrian Younge's latest shyt. The Jazz Is Dead vol. 2 with Roy Ayers is fukkin amazing
Are you sure about that..... nikkas in their 40s have heard better....... so why not just play the older shyt these cats are biting from......

No mainstream rnb is trash too
Key difference that you missing is I used to be able to simply turn on my radio and hear a great variety of R&B. But now yall saying folks have to do their own searching and listen to everything to find something they like. nikka, that's exactly the point folks are making. What's on the radio is garbage!
Also I gotta ask, is anything you posted upbeat and funky? I've had enough of the melodramatic ghost singing. You got an O'Jays, Maze, or Whispers sound in there?

You call that variety?
Most of you nikkas aren't even gonna listen to it. You know this
