The artistic sensibilities of Black women aged 15-50 has us in a space where Tyler Perry is the biggest movie star in our community and has made the House Wives of Atlanta millionaires..

@kingofnyc kellz is more responsible than puff for the current r&b/hip hop blend. Fam made being a r&b "thug" popular & the norm

Jodeci was the first RNB thugs.

PND is dead in the water now, damn!!!

nikka come in, take your lane and then cacs act like your copy is the original

I think Bryson product is more polished though but damn!!!!

PND's existence was just a copy of Weeknd after he didn't sign with Drake

Lol @ feeling bad for that shark

I wish Jon Caramanica would stop writing about Black music.

@28 Gramz
First & what the current gen of solo singers is modeled after is not the same. Altho overall musically you are correct

 

[kingofnyc]

Good. We gotta stop allowing the casual listener to group him into the PND/tiller category. All dope artists but he sounds nothing like them.

Check prior posts we in agreement. All I'm saying is the current mold of r&b is a direct reflection of kellz. That half singing/rapping style a lot of people use kellz popularized

People are gonna be embarrassed 10 years from now that they hyped this cookie cutter sh1t..

This dude is pretty much the Limp Bizkit of urban music.. Even the title of his album is cliché SNL sketch cringe worthy..

 

[Why-Fi]

Timbaland did this 20 years ago..R Kelly in the early 2000s..this shyt is nothing new.

timex social club and soul 2 soul before that...

 

[ThatTruth777]

The-Dream is to this generation of RnB artists what Rakim was to 90s rappers.



Before this type of shyt it was Mario, Trey Songz, Ne-yo and shyt doing that boring ass butter shyt. Of course before him we had Kells, while greater his "hiphop" impact wasn't that strong on the game.
