Know how bad R&B has fallen off?

[Taadow]

Ay... fukk it then



You gonna be that old ass dude talkin' shyt about how everything in your era is untouchable just cause you're not hip to the times.

This nicca said "hip to the times". lol

Fucc "the times". If you got a new cut as good as that Tony Toni Tone cut I posted in here, i'm all ears...

I really think "they" want the love out of the music brehs....That authentic, relatable love....Since music is such a teaching tool, the less we know about love, and how to love, the less likely we'll survive as a community...

Its unfair to compare people to Whitney, MJ, Chaka, Aretha, etc.. Those are once in a lifetime artists. We gon act Fantasia,J Hud, Robin Thicke, Trey, Breezy, Timberlake, Alicia, Tamar, Ledisi , Miguel, John Legend and others aint put out heat? We gon act like the the legends aint still putting out heat? Mad dope RNB albums been dropping. I posted links but watch nobody use them. Smh

Edit: I agree about the labels not promoting positive songs about love and females.

No you're not. I've posted plenty of songs that directly contradict your feelings expressed in your initial post though

I see y'all saying the love, live elements, and songwriting is what's wrong...but it's deeper than that.

There is no feeling in it.

The R in R&B tells you that the rhythm is important.
The B in R&B tells you the feeling is important.

You don't have to make a serious, brooding, sappy song for it to be real R&B - you just have to
feel something, and put a rhythm to that feeling. It's gonna sound good if you can convey that feeling.

I even posted a video that's got the same kind of vibe as the one you posted too





This video dropped 3 months ago btw

 

[Taadow]

No you're not.

Hold the fucc on, nicca...

don't violate, keep it to the topic.



Now...I know "Electric Lady". That's not the "same vibe" as "I Don't Know What You Come To Do".
It's a cool song, but it ain't the same. Not to take away from Janelle, because has the last new R&B
single I liked in the moment ("Q.U.E.E.N."). But the fact that you feel they are the same kinda song
shows that we don't listen to music the same way. Like I said earlier, I don't have a bias against
artists - I have a problem with the style it has taken on.

Keep it to the topic? You asked me to post something better than that song you posted. That's subjective anyway. I honestly don't have to hear that song you linked ever again in my life... but you love it, good for you.

There's plenty of songs/videos I've posted that contradict what you said though... "There's no feeling in it"... which simply isn't true at all.

...And you said some glib chit about what I wouldn't do. You don't know what I would do.

I do know, because I've been posting plenty of links to good R&B music from the last few months/years in this thread and you're still asking me to post more... I'm straight breh

I tell you what, mayne...we'll just agree to disagree.

...But I didn't make this thread. There's a lot of people in here that feel how I feel about it -
we all can't be wrong because we don't agree with you. I'll let you tell it, doe.

Breh, you made no point at ALL and you're implying that I'm wrong. I actually was trying to help posters like you in here and put you on to some newer artists who make good R&B music. You're just too stubborn to realize that.

Peep how many people dapped the my first post in this thread... obviously R&B isn't the same, but to completely dismiss damn near a decade and a half of R&B music because you love you some Tony Toni Tone is ridiculous

Ciara is very underrated,I could careless for R&B but I really dig her.
Keri Hilson is a little pop but she is bomb and is better than most singers for her day.
Love my girl Brooke Valentine.

Big fan of BJ the Chicago Kid, dude is killing it

 

[ucanthandlethetruth]

Never heard of him before this is amazing. Reminds me of a D'Angelo, J. Holiday & Lyfe hybrid.

i would say bj the chicago kid maybe the most slept on artist in rap music right now
