Agreed it just doesn’t have that natural vibe anymore

That, and R&B artists deciding they want to be rappers.

I blame R. Kelly for that.

yup

That, and R&B artists deciding they want to be rappers.

also, a lot of singers not really being singers and not singing.

R&B is still here. I think fans just stopped supporting it.

that's not true

The fact white people like Adele or Sam Smith can win accolades for traditional RnB says it isn’t true.

Alicia Keys got major attention when she came out but drifted to the more hip-hop RnB,too.

I think people just want a more mashed up style than separate genre artist.

yeah
A mainstream R&B vocalist singing
“I’m fukking you tonight“
Was the turning point
as far as I’m concerned
