What happened to r & b

[Yakno1]

On a lighter note,

any new/good talent out in that genre? Any good albums dropped in the last year? This genre is huge part of black music culture, but seem like the quality took a hit since the 00's

People not staying in their lanes (rappers tryna sing, singers tryna rap)
Not to mention record labels being too lazy to mold actual artist and the lack of true producers(not just someone who makes beats)

Eh making music for black people directly has lost it's appeal to artists so instead they make music that appeals to everyone except for black people but the artist himself is black and has a history of making R&B which is what I guess appeals to black people.

So I think it's a watering down of the culture so that it could appeal to other cultures in America.

 

[L. Deezy]

all the real singers are older R&B or went to gospel..

These so called singers today are just awful.. female and male

No, if you make statements like that then you're an idiot. Today there's still good music, just gotta find it.

 

[Truality]
