No, but I've heard you're a dumbass.
If you're Black & you can sing, you (almost) have no place in popular music anymore.

Just put money in those talented artist hands buy their stuff on itunes and go to concerts if you can.
I understand it hard for the already economically disenfranchise to spend their money on music when there are more important things they have it on spend but if you come up on some money spend it wisely.

It will live if the artists wants to struggle to keep creating the type of art they like.
There will always be artists old and new that grew up to, or just enjoy, RnB and/or the classics from Golden Age. They will attempt to imitate (especially if it's forgotten) or evolve into something similar but different. Just like 90's RnB evolved after the 80's where pop, funk, soul, and etc., were dominating.
There's nothing new under the sun

I feel you.
But for some reasons in the 90s there was more "mainstream" variety. Like in the 90s Matchbox 20, Goo Goo Dolls, Nirvana, Alanis Morisette, TLC, Toni Braxton, Ginuwine, Puffy/Biggie all could achieve mainstream success and all are VERY different types of music.
Now it's like bullshyt pop or bullshyt rap music that dominate.

When Pebbles is out singing you then maybe you not that great, fam.Cmon, they aren't that bad.
and this is my point about how things have changed. Everybody got down to everybody back in the 90's music, 80's too. Now as we've "progressed", that's gone away for some reason. Creativite freedom was there.
But actually that success really ruined things in a way b/c whatever new style became popular, music execs wanted to bleed it dry.
SINGING, never goes "out of style"
R&B/Soul as a genre has changed many times since the 1950's, but it's always been relevant b/c love, heartbreak, sex is a human fixture.
The problem is now, the younger ppl have been trained to reject anything that isn't dancefloor music.
And you wonder why Country music still sells? It's not bc counrty fans live in the boonies and can't dl stuff for free. It's because they still make music that relates to ppl.
Lol. Thats your opinion as a grandpa lil nikka.
I don't like most R&B singers. shyt been around for so long it sounds generic to me. And most of the younguns obviously feel the same way. We've evolved. We wanna hear something new. You ever think that maybe this new wave of music relates to US and what WE AS THE YOUTH want to hear? Times change grandpa. Doesn't mean R&B is dead. Just means R&B is gonna have to take a backseat to some new fangled form of music. Singing isn't bad, but if you wanna blow up you gotta come with something more then a generic voice and a generic beat and some generic content. We wanna hear something new. Period.
What happened to jazz when rap music blew up? Kayden. Does that mean people don't respect jazz? Or that jazz is dead? Nah. Most of the grandfathers of modern rap have mad respect for jazz musicians. But pop music evolved past that. Just like in another decade or so pop music is gonna evolve past rap. Couple decades later its gonna evolve past techno. And so on and so forth until things come full circle and nikkas is listening to bethoven.
I'm barely over 30 lil nikka. 22-23 year olds at my gym ask me for help how to get in my shape. I'm far from a grandpa
And ya'll havent "evolved". lol.....they(radio) TOLD you what to like and you mindlessly accepted it. In 2006 Timbaland started making everything 4 on the floor type beats, the tempos changed and ppl began to adapt to that. And as a result alot of younger ppl don't like anything slower than a certain tempo now, and a ballad is foreign.
And who ever said black msuic and being able to sing is boxed into R&B?
Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Prince, Lionel Richie weren't necessarily R&B artists. But they had exceptional talent and made great music. This is the issue at hand.LOL @ the "YOUTH"....y'all are listening to and idolizing 30-40 year old rappers like Jay, Kanye, Wayne...even Drake is pushing up on 30. Miss me w/ that. And the producers are in a similar age range.
Like I said, country music did it right. They evolved over time, each decade really, pushed the envelope but kept it true to being about talent.
