Why do people pretend John Legend isn’t trash? :jbhmm:

[Booker T Garvey]

He's far from trash. One of the best R&B albums to come out in recent time. Don't care about it's popularity...this album from front to back is perfection. I think y'all need to go back and listen to it. The piano is one of his strengths; most of the songs on here play to that strength, instead of putting him on Hip Hop beats

One of the (many) highlights from this album




He hasn't put out a bad album, honestly.

Bruh, I gave that song a chance, that note he hit at 2:59

stop it, that’s horrendous and I can’t believe that made the final cut. I had to stop it there.

This song here’s completely destroying that JL one just in the first 30 seconds



JL makes music for people that don’t understand why we hit runs, scream, shout and ad lib on records...

 

[Booker T Garvey]

... Ordinary People, of course

Where are you playing that song bruh. At a funeral?

Not even being snarky - I know people enjoy that song but it’s a song chicks play in their room by themselves...but if that’s his staple

 

[BlackMajik]

Yea I think John Legend is wack. I still can't believe he has all them Grammy awards and Brian McKnight has none

 

[Cynic]

His first album is nothing but crack.... Then he had All Of Me...

That was a surprise hit within itself

 

[NoMoreWhiteWoman2020]

Always thought him and Franklin off My wife and Kids were related

 

[thaKEAF]

First album is a classic, second one was good, after that his music has been trash outside of a single or two.

 

[I Really Mean It]

Two classic cuts.

This was my shyt from his 3rd album:

 

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

He was just in the right place at the right time

Basically

 

[L&HH]

John Legend has all those Grammys because he came up in a RnB era where he had no competition (mid 2000's and onward). Unfortunately for Brian Mcknight he had to compete with all the RnB from the 90's to early 2000's. He doesn't even have a BET award. He had to compete with Maxwell, Rkelly, Usher, DAngelo, Destinys Child, Alicia Keys, Mary J Blige, etc

This.

John Legend's music is really R&B music for people who don't like R&B. I said this back in 2004.

The fact that Brian McKnight has no Grammys and Gerald Levert only getting one(poshumously) tells you all you need to know about the state
of R&B during that time.

So that song would get the same or a better reaction at a family reunion/cookout as this?

So you have a problem with that John Legend song that I posted?

 

[George's Dilemma]

It's trendy to like John Legend. Black version of John Mayer.

I have a problem with most of his music that’s the point of the post

But YOU said that was his staple, I’ve never even heard of that song
