Well damn........R&B Is Officially Dead.

[Don Juan]

No it’s not.

No genre is dead.

Hip Hop is dead

A good rnb song/album hasn’t come out since 2020.

 

[Killer Instinct]

close minded idiot.

And I said Less popular artist

Them being less popular is irrelevant -- the ethereal jumbo you posted is just as trash as what's currently popular. It's still garbage, it just comes in a different can.

And It's "closed minded," you idiot.

 

[Toe Jay Simpson]

Moved from getting a verse from rappers to just singing hooks for em.

I remember CD’s back in the day would have the lyrics inside and for R&B albums it’d have the song and then for the rappers part it’d just say [Rap]

 

[NoirDynosaur]

These video essays always have some clickbait shyt to them. It's really about the state of male R&B specifically and why none of them are dominating the charts like in the past.

R&B is not dead and male R&B is not dead but ppl have to realize we are dealing with a consumer base who's rappers now sing and are the "heartthrobs"(no matter how hideous). Rappers have taken the lane R&B singers once had. Maybe it will cycle back but only time will tell.

What you say is true about the consumer market adopting to what’s “hot” in the streets

I think this transformation started when hip hop and R&B started doing collabs in the late 80s.

 

[Save $ not Hoes]

Hoes love this song. Ain’t no way it’s going anywhere

It’s really not lmao Hip Hop is still the #1 genre so it can’t be dead, it may not be what you like, hell I’ll go as far as to say it’s stagnant right now but that doesn’t mean it’s dead.

Open up spotify and listen to RapCaviar for twenty minutes then tell me hip hop isn't dead. I love hip hop but the latest shyt doesn't cut it.

 

[Pure Water]

Trapping ain’t dead, you nikkas just scared.

 

[klientel]

you know who was fire? The-Dream…

I was listening to that nikka the other day and his shyt is just fire. That’s the only way I can describe it. He ain’t the best singer, his music isn’t the biggest hits or the best songs…..but it’s just so fire.

I didn’t appreciate him while he was with us

And he wrote most of Renaissance.

 

[Amare's Right Hook]

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

I agree.
