Joe Budden unpacks Billboard Top 75 RNB Artist Of All Time. Aaliyah at 40?R Kelly at 9?Marvin at 10 smh

[Miggs]

Marvin Gaye at 10 ?

 

[KFBF]

Is Sam Cooke on the list? Marvin gaye should not be behind no fukking Beyonce.

Mary is actually too low. If we're taking impact into consideration, that woman was pivotal to the 90s. She's the foundation. #16 was too low for the impact she had.

Aaliyah should have also been higher than 40.

Have you ever heard of a singer named Brandy. Imagine having her at 41,Aaliyah at 40. The. Telling me Mary was too low at 16 and that Beyonce,Whitney and Mariah deserve there spots


Brandy should definitrly be ahead of Mary. And id probably put her a few spots ahead of Aaliyah but its tough. If we gon talk 90s we gotta talk 90s. Dont tell me holleration got yall reaching


Then Alicia Keys in the 30s? She was projected to be the next Stevie

 

[Westbama Heartthrob]

Y'all can't be serious about complaining about Beyonce out of all people from this list.
Even if you don't like her, she's a cultural phenomenon who has consistently put out projects for the last 30 years. She should be rewarded for that.

Fact is nobody actually on the list has ever denied her vocal talent. Yet everyone else has the opposite opinion

These rnb list get me tighter than hiphop list. Only because i feel like theres a little bit of trolling for attention on those hiphop list. But i feel they are completely serious here.

Is Sam Cooke on the list? Marvin gaye should not be behind no fukking Beyonce.

He was 13,while Smokie was 19. But ill fall back on that one. I only have ever heard about 5 Sam Cook songs. So he may have a catalogue i havent begun to scratch.


Get Prince the fukk off here too. They try to sneak this nikka on all the damn list because hes prince.

Mary has been way more influential than Brandy. That aint even a debate. Mary went a good 20 years, strong. Brandy's peak waa for 4 years and by the turn of the new millennium, she was flopping something serious. Chick was not relevant musically past 1999.

Aaliyah was also more impactful than Brandy.

Have their eyes ever lit up talking about her vocal talent


People know the power her and her team hold. And they arent shy about saying they will starve you out if you cross her. Plus she seems nice from outward appearance. Trashing her vocally would look like bullying.

Dawg, people criticize beyonce all day everyday. The one thing nobody can say in good faith is that she can't sing

H.E.R ahead of Keyshia Cole


Top ten

10.) Marvin Gaye
9.) R Kelly
8.) Mariah Carey
7.) Prince
6.) James Brown
5.) Whitney Houston
4.) Beyoncé
3.) Michael Jackson
2.) Aretha Franklin
1.) Stevie Wonder



Top 10 damn near looks backwards for me. Donnnie Hathaway and Smokey was somewhere in the teens irrc smh. Not sure how the hell Whitney is so high. And Beyonce is damn near blashemous over half this list. How is there 40 spots between her and Aaliyah?

I like Keyshia Cole but

That run H.E.R. had was amazing

 

[Tribal Outkast]

Nostalgia got you tripping.

I ain't never heard nobody say put that Whitney Houston or Mariah Carey on

These lists just make younger people argue with older people. Nevermind the fact that the older artists were household names with limited technology. It’s just funny to me

 

[TheDarkCloud]

Usher a few spots too high as well.

The fundamental problem with that list is a lot of those artist biggest hits and it's impact weren't even in the R&B space and that goes to those Motown artist on that list as well.

Facts. I really think they should have separated it by gender. Or maybe just condensed it to a certain era or something. Its just way too many great artists to try and condense it all into one all time list. Because fr fr, I also have a problem with Luther's placement. I didnt like Janet's placement, either.

 

[Samori Toure]

Is Sam Cooke on the list? Marvin gaye should not be behind no fukking Beyonce.

Is Al Green and Jackie Wilson on it?

 

[Killer Instinct]

Aaliyah is top 15. List is null and void.

Aaliyah was also more impactful than Brandy.

Brandy was much more adventerous musically which has its draw backs. Vocally Brandys influence among her peers cant be denied. And do we really need to have a debate about Brandy vs Mary and Aaliyah vocally lol? For Mariah,Whitney and Aretha to be that high on a rnb list,vocals must count for alot. And damn if they was flops but Full Moon and Afrodesiac are two of the greatest female rnb albums ever. I really liked her latest album as well. Two different classes of artist imo.




Mary and Beyonce are paint by numbers,not that theres anything wrong with that. Same reason alicia keyes should be higher. Stevie at one,but the woman projected to be the next Stevie at 33 smh. Peaks matter too

 

[focusloco]

Lady T gotta be up there somewhere
