Few observations

No weekend?
Is James Bake "RnB"?

 

[RTF]

Very CAC based list. Although I've jut realised the Dreams best albums came out the previous decade.

Jeremih Late Nights gotta be on there.

FKA Twigs not RnB mayne.

House of Balloons gotta be up there.

Beyoncé last 2 should be up there. At least Lemonade.

If black women don't jam it. I can't call it rnb. And it can't be goat. I love James Blake but he not rnb. He rnb inspired. Rnb a genre for black people - mostly women.

 

[ComorianKid]

Where's the king of the music industry Abel?

 

[Big Mel]

That's even sadder.

 

[Majestic]

Channel orange should be second and blonde should be third. Also no maxwell, late nights, lemonade? Thats one terrible list

Is blonde even r and b?

 

[Here Comes the Pain]

Half of those artists they named I don't know who they are.

I actually felt like black messiah was the weakest album d`angelo has ever dropped. Wasn't enough groove for me

I would put Mack wilds a new york love story album up there as one of the best r&b albums. Refreshing.

Miguel kaleidoscope was one of the best r& b albums of the decade.

Bruno mar's 24k magic is a modern day Classic.

I think 20 best r&b projects of this decade would be more appropriate. Some artists best work during this decade was in the form of a mixtape.

 

[Jacaveli The Don]

Stay the fukk out of The Booth



@Reaper of Threads come get this bullshyt

 

[Sovereign]
