I just realized that there are no black R&B groups anymore.

TGT tried but fell apart

O

I know the reason for female groups... it's the money these companies don't want to invest in from marketing, clothing, hair, just to see only 300,000 in sales

in 2018 you have to market a female group in a sexual, nasty, ratchet way on some porno shyt.. opposite of the en vogues and Swv's with class


no men groups cause nikkas are all about self and nikkas not looking to split say a million dollars or even if they make that cause of 360 deals

Used to want to be in SWV back in the day

 

[The Fire]

groups period are on the way out. it's hard enough for r&b singers to eat by themselves, they not gonna split 5 ways

TGT is a supergroup though, I don't think they should count.

Both Bell Biv Devoe & Dru Hill are obviously legacy acts in the 2010's. The OP clearly wants a young current black R&B/Pop group he can take his kids to. The closest the OP is gonna get to is Fifth Harmony since they have 2 black members in the group.

Who?

KING



We Are KING was one of my favorite albums of 2016. It was nominated for a grammy too. I love their melodies and harmonies. Like dreamy R&B/Soul.

For some reason I think Beyoncé is the reason why there's no more popular black R&B groups

 

[SouthSac916]

And too chiefs and not enough Indians.

Beyoncé ruined destinys child
B2k imploded
Immature, Dru Hill, jagged edge, 112 and etc are to old for the newbies

Partially caused by the post segregation era. In reality kids are told too see diversity, but that often means a mixed group with preferably more white or exotic/mixed members than black. Or an all white groups singing black music. Reminds on the fifty when the racism was explicit. Now they tell “this is what is selling”

See Justin Timberlake, Adele, and Robin Thicke who get to transcend music genres, while singers Ty Dolla Sign and even Miguel’s bytchass are stuck in one category cause their complexions.

Clear they aren’t being marketed right. That’s a throwback to the old school feel good music. It should target that audience and the younger generation that grew listening to in their parents homes.
