No shyt lol.

Music genres don’t die they just evolve. R&B ain’t going nowhere

 

[Paper Boi]

died a long time ago

 

[AquaCityBoy]

R&B is in a much better place now than it was six-seven years ago during the Bryson Tiller, PartyNextDoor, PnB Rock (RIP) era.

 

[Bop Gun]

Gone, but not forgotten. Just gotta bring it back

These type of discussions are always a bit disingenuous as it overlooks the important aspect that a lot of those R&B Artist had their biggest success when their albums and songs crossed over to other genres. The majority of those biggest Motown Hits weren't even necessarily R&B and even they'd tell you that.

I remember people getting mad at Smokey Robinson when he made that exact comment. Those blurred genre lines that people are complaining about having been having for a long time. People just overlook it and equate certain songs with a particular genre.

Not necessarily just R&B but black masculinity is dead.

You fail as a man if you rely on how to be a one from a the idiot box in the first place. That’s difference between men who we grew up with and you blubbering sisses now. The men who looked over us knew the deal as men and their role and moved accordingly. Real men ain’t waiting on cues from a mfer they don’t know whether its Al Green or Chris Brown topping the charts

I hear what you are saying but I must respectfully disagree. When it was a collaboration of r&b and rap which had been common for a long time it used to still be a clear distinction what you were doing or what the two artist were doing. Now it's literally the same lol.

 

[Peter Popoff]

Delete lol.

Brehs need to get out and see life outside of the U.S. It's taking a toll on people's minds.

Living under a Roman system has skewed people's perception. These women aren't going to want to follow you (they've been indoctrinated) so don't try to change their mind.
