[28 Gramz]

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



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

R Kelly had a stronghold on hip hop from the moment Fiesta dropped all the way up to "I'm A Flirt Remix" dude was T Pain before T Pain. If you wanted a crossover song for the hood bytches in the early or mid 2000s, 9 times outta 10 Kellz was on the hook.
