Yall really down with the blue eyed soul?

This is why all our R&B artists are :flabbynsick:

Too bad that the industry forces black artists to be on some techno shyt to make money nowadays.

I'm not sure that the industry forces artists like Usher and Chris Brown to make those type of songs. Usher came out with that special edition EP Versus that had that "DJ Made Us Fall In Love" record that blew up. After that, he kept making those types of songs. Chris Brown saw "Yeah 3X" from FAME take off and filled Fortune with similar types of songs.

While Usher and CB were making those types of songs, artists like Mary J. Blige stuck to what made them big in the first place. The result, her latest record, 2011's My Life II: The Journey Continues outsold Chris Brown and Usher's latest albums. Mary's last definitely isn't her best, but she didn't attempt to make a crossover record to sell.

Soul, R&B, and Neo-Soul artists like Anthony Hamilton, Jill Scott, Kem, Chrisette Michele etc. aren't making techno records either. They may not do monster numbers, but they make quality music staying true to what made them.

I hope this shyt comes out well, tyrese albums be on some bullshyt, ginuwine suffers from marginal production, and tank has great lyrics but zero standout capability. The R&B gawds like JD, Bryan Michael Cox, Babyface etc all need to go ham with this group and help save R &B

On the real, TGT would be a bigger event if Timbaland were tapped to produce that album. It would be a longshot, but Tank and Ginuwine have history with Timbaland. Ginuwine's best two albums have Timbaland production. Tank had a Timbo track and has co-produced songs with Timbaland. If only Static were still alive, him writing for them along with Missy Elliott would potentially make for a smash.

That's true, but they ain't getting airplay like that anymore. R & B ain't the rap game where artists can go underground and drop mixtapes like its nothing: they have to tour like mad to sell anything.

hell yeah

You might as well throw Talib Kweli (JT was featured on and produced "The Nature" from Eardrum), T.I. (JT was featured on and produced "Dead and Gone" and T.I. was on "My Love"), Pharoahe Monch (he was featured on "Loose Ends" with JT and Will.i.am), and Snoop Dogg (JT was featured on R&G), DJ Paul & Juicy J (they were featured on JT's "Chop Me Up"), The Neptunes (they produced over half of JT's first album), and Brian McKnight (produced on JT's first album as well).
