Uh....yes, it is.
I don't want or need profanity/vulgarity in all my r&b, and I think a lot of people feel the same wayAnother thread about this shytevery few months there's a thread debating this topic regarding the word...y'all weirdly obsessed with this shyt.
a lot more than what's necessary is vulgar nowadays, sometimes I just wanna throw a mix on and get some more uplifting/innocent not as sexually in your face vibes
Shyt is so normal in these records sometimes you will forget it has cursing in it 
Like I will be driving with moms or my niece and throw on what I think is nice easy listening music, and hit the

I should make a playlist for the fourth or some random family get together. then I'm going through music I can play around the elderly without getting an earful about what the young kids are hearingabout 30 minutes later listening to songs and the hook ruining it, a verse with too much going on in an otherwise sanitary song etc etc I'm like
R&B today is trash
absolutely... probably more than there has ever been.
Look on IG and youtube, they are all over...
Its just not the popular avenue today. It could change in time...

Make it Rain remix
This mfka talking about shoot a mfka in the head
What has killing mfka been apart of r&b
But he had been leaning that way since the late 90s

That's a 4-5 year gap. They were adapting to the times.
RnB was changing rapidly, they wasn't the only ones.
People just want to make them the poster childs for "thug n B" cuz they were one of the hottest and wore all black and timbs ( Diddy/Uptown influenced)

You can talk about sex without using profanity at every sentence.
The song you've posted is subtle. It's not 'n-word' trash talking that people pass as RnB today.
The only issue here was the age of Aaliyah.
Anyway, 'let me show you to ecstasy' =/= "eat the ass like it's grocery".

It has. That's why most of your example are about these people private life, not the music.Ikr
Minnie ripperton was making songs about getting nutted in, Bobby womack was fukking everybody's bytch, bootsy Collins was eating p*ssy, eddie kendricks was serenading his fukk buddy, smokey robinson was fukking a hoe behind his girl back, confunkshun was beefing over the same girl in a game of "love's train", and marvin gaye was turning out Christian girls
Music hasn't gotten more vulgar, artists just don't have to beat around the bush as much because of censorship
What used to be spoken through innuendo can now be flat out said
If we could count profanity used in THE AVERAGE RnB song 30/40 years ago and today, there is no discussion.
Sex is not vulgar but the way you talk about it makes it vulgar. The innuendo is what made yesterdays music less vulgar and more subtle.
