A lot of them are working with black producers..How is it that these white pop artists are getting better r&b songs than r&b artists? These are the real culture vultures and these producers are sellouts
White Pop artists are getting R&B hits that black artists should be getting

Black people abandoned (mainstream) RnB. Someone took it. 
This is why being on code is important. A lot of people in our community don't understand how code works.

Who told black artists to stop being the gatekeepers for R&B?
Who told black artists to jump on bandwagons such as the Euro-dance sound?

Music business 101. Justin Timberlake opened the floodgates.
this isn’t true. Labels push Trap-n-B music and won’t support traditional R&B artists despite seeing the sound works (i.e. Silk Sonic). Many R&B artists do well touring but can’t get mainstream radio play.Black people abandoned (mainstream) RnB. Someone took it.

The thing is that when Black artists release the kind of songs posted in the OP, it gets labelled as R&B regardless of whether it’s actually R&B or not or it’s even labelled as “urban” thus limiting their reach.
Meanwhile the white artists get labelled as pop regardless and reap all the pop awards.
Labels do not want to push Black artists who aren’t making anything outside of Hip-Hop and even then they will still drag their feet in pushing R&B artists too. They want a Black product with a white face attached to it.
Ariana Grande is another example of a white artist making R&B or Trap-leaning type of music and getting plenty of success from it.
Another thing here which has to be said is that a lot of Black people are also complicit in hyping up cacs for doing the bare minimum or because they tried to be “down”. That’s how you end up with artists like Miley, Post Malone, MGK and Justin Bieber who bait-and-switch by coming up off of Black music to seem authentic and edgy then “go back to their roots” while making
comments about the past music too.

Because the money and airplay isn't in that genre these days for the most part. That's why artist are steering songs that can cross genre lines. It's no different than Gospel music these days and why you see songs that can easily crossover with elements of other genres in the production and lyrics.

I swear yall are mildly retarded..... Producers produce music..... nikkas don't buy records.... Phil Collins had black producers.....Madonna had black producers.... I can probably list a dozen major white artists pre 1998 that had black producers...... nikkas don't like R and B no more unless its in white face......
