Lets admit it. A lot of RnB cliches are silly and unrealistic

Undisputed classic right here. No one would even touch a song like this today. Not even Drake. R&B used to have a lot of heart and soul. I guess you'd call that simping. I'll take simping over the melodic talking that passes for R&B these days. And it covers the same exact topics you hear in rap songs; disrespecting women, stealing women, shytting on nikkas out of envy, drugs/coke, liquor, sex sex sex. The content is trash. The song writing is uninspired. The vocals straight And don't tell me to look up some obscure artist on YouTube or some blog. There's no excuse for real R&B being replaced by this assembled in China quality BS. R&B was on the radio for 50 years and all of a sudden I have to be a fukking detective to get some good music?

Blame people preferring Hiphop

Mad I missed this thread. R&B is funny as hell when you think about it. But you can get away with a lot if you can sing your ass off. Used to trip off this song:



He starts off the song like: "Word is bond its butter baby"
