It's a shame what R&B music has become when you think about what it use to be

saute to Trey Songz stayin strong and not bein a complete sellout like Usher and Chris Brown....I wish his music wuz more like his first joint now I Gotta Make It...but he's tryin at least

Rnb has just lost its poetic touch,when u listen to the words bein said nuthin really moves you or makes u feel nuthin,it takes more than just singing about loving a chick,the poetic words nikkas used to write with would make u feel it...alotta singers/writers now grow up on hiphop and write they songs more like rappers and then just sing the words...no poetic value,but hopefully sumbody will come along and blow up and these dudes can copy him again and get off technos nuts...shyt is wack as fuk,y'all black makin that bullshyt

I already acknowledged that he's the better singer, but that's where it stops.

When Bruno Mars writes lyrics on the level of "American Wedding," then MAYBE we'll talk.

Bruno's "Just The Way You Are" >>>>>>>>>>>> American Wedding


And I'll make it a point to say that Bruno does work with other writers but he's still one of the lead writers for his songs.

Co-sign, good post.

Even though I don't really care Trey Songz music, at least his not making that electro R&B crap Usher and Chris Brown are.

sure is, sad

I hate to say it, but even though corn rown Kels was dropping heat, I could see the transformation happening. Everybody wanted to do that hip hop/r & b and the hoes gobbled it up. Boyz II Men would get laughed out of the building talmbout "im down on bended knee" Hoes - "you need to be beating that coochie up all night"

 

[Wild self]

c00ns dont wanna make massa envious no mo by showing off their incredible vocals


the in demand vocal style for R&B singers today are singers with weak voices, thats why The Dream, Frank Ocean, The Weeknd, Chris Brown are "in"

Blame people not building relationships anymore. Everything is about the club and EDM music nowadays.

Black folk hate the concept of love now. Everything is about the club or about smoking loud to fukk hoes like some low-level porn star.

r&b = simp music

r&b = simp music

EDM and trap music = "real" music where you go to the club and beat up ratchet p*ssy

Imma just ask this...why wouldn't this be an R&B hit if it was released today?
