I blame kellz and t pain
Ironically they're actually very talented singers
Plus, not to sound cliche, but i also blame the fact that a lot of younger millennials and zillenials, basically 90s babies on down) never really grew up in church singing in the choir or playing instruments.
Not their fault (well im technically part of this generation too).
Esp. Since most of em grew up listening to gucci mane, chief keef, and"knuck if you buck"
Its the Same reason why a lot of rappers these days lack depth.
Its not a coincidence that the best r&b artists from back in the day grew up in church or were involved in music in school etc.
But yeah, the genre pretty much fell off during the earlier 10s.
No disputing that
