Isn't there already a thread about the current state of R&B? The only reason you don't here songs like that is because ya'll stopped consuming it. I know we like to blame "the industry" & "the new generation" Same thing happened to bebop when disco was thing. Usher stop making R&B because there wasn't a market it for it. When JT dropped that pop album the same year usher did his R&B album it was a singicant difference in sales number. If you want to here music like that support the artists who make that type of music monetarily.

A lot of these bands ya'll be posting still perform and make music but they perform in smaller venues and do small numbers because the market isn't there. A lot of the R&B groups and artists from the 80's, 90's, 00 still drop albums but ya'll don't buy them or support them.

100% facts.

Neyo, usher, R.Kelly, etc left r&b for a reason.

How many r&b groups do you see on the mainstream level? When's the last time an r&b album sold well without several rap features on it?:dame:

Mainstream r&b is essentially dead. At least for black artists that is.:yeshrug:
