"Rapture" is the Greatest R&B album of all time

[The Gentleman]

And "Mystery" is a contender for the greatest R&B song of all time


I said what I said, don't @ me

Maxwell urban hang suite The best R&B album of the last 30 years.

 

[O³ (O cubed)]

Been So Long... Missing you babbbyyy.

 

[The Gentleman]

Irrefutable.

 

[315]

I come back to about 3-4 songs on that album and leave. Not close to an all-timer for me

 

[3rdWorld]

This grew to become my fave from Anita..

 

[jj23]

Innervisions and Songs in the Key of Life over Anita

Easily. Not even close.

 

[feelosofer]

Tough to say R&B had so many classic albums but you'll get no argument from me its a classic.

 

[Amo Husserl]

I don't think I can argue this. Anita is something special. Like the Sarah Vaungh of her time.

.

 

[JA_Carter]

Ain’t mad at this take, though personally I’d say SWV - It’s About Time

 

[Ruck]

Never listened to that album. Tbh, i rarely listen to female artist albums. I think the last female artist album i bought was like 20 years ago (Res - How I do) which is a classic

 

[Lonj]

I'll buy it


If you got other types of poses from her, I'll buy that too

Where can I buy

I'll let ya'll know. I'm deciding on the shirt quality right now.

The answers in this thread have me smiling. My mom also used to play Anita on the weekends while we did chores, on car drives, lol.
Black moms lol.

How many old school songs/artists did our parents put us on because they were always listening to it. What’s sad is that I can’t think of too many unforgettable R&B artists I can play from this generation for my own child that he’ll look back on when he’s an adult and talk about.

 

[DaKidFromNoWhere]

I was telling my mom the other week I wouldnt argue with anyone who has Anita as their GOAT.
The woman was truly special

 

[DaKidFromNoWhere]

Come to think about it, Toni Braxton spent her whole career doing her best Anita Baker rendition.

Her first song was actually for Anita she sung the demo.
Anita heard it and was like that woman should sing it instead of me.
Toni owes her a great deal.
