This is why I keep my old 90's and early 2000's cd's on hand. I stay having Brown Sugar and Voodoo jamming out the whip. I had to come through and dap up my D'Angelo folks.

My girl H.E.R. holding it down right now, I fukks with her heavy, singer and talented.

It’s the women that changed

Can't sing love songs in an era where it's cool to be a slut.

Maybe I'm mistaken but most of the R&b singers today are black. Most of the white artists like Adele, Sam Smith, Ariana Grande'l, etc music is considered Pop music and not R&b music





What happened to this ....


We not even the face of it anymore



Sure you have a few but ...




Add on make it official

Great song.

Simptastic, but just dope.

Reminds me of my youth.

 

[NoGutsNoGLory]

We gave it up. It's just like Jazz. Music tastes change and white people rediscover something we came up with and discarded.

Ive never heard a white person say they like rnb. i think its just played out.

DVSN, Ari Lennox, Summer Walker, Anderson Paak, HER, Solange, Kehlani, Ella Mai & BJ the Chicago Kid are keeping real R&B alive

Bilal and Badu - two sides of the same crazy creative genius coin ...

Maybe if black culture didn't throw R&B in the bushes in favor of shyt rap music and "turning up" then R&B would still be popular.

NWA made excessive cursing cool and had kids hiding their tapes from their parents. Cause cursing in any form by kids is forbidden by parents, even in a song. Explicit music also drives families away from listening to songs with each other.

Like back in the day, you can enjoy listening to Marvin Gaye, Earth Wind and Fire, and even Cameo with your family in your house. No worry about cursing, ratchet shyt, none of that. It made families bond together and made them stronger.

Now, these ratchet autotune songs is restricted to your homies. Not even your kids or parents can hear it.

True.

Even the Reverend Al Green saying 'damn' would have family looking sideways .

Those were the days ....

They outlasted every R&B group of the 90's in terms of booking shows and popularity, both male and female as quiet as that's kept
