I Like That Crotch On Youuuuuu :ohhh::stopitslime::lolbron:

that song was the one that almost made me think twice about hitting "post reply":lolbron:

But Kellz was the nikka to really bring hiphop into rnb,Kellz is more responsible for the Drakes and Ja Rules of the world than a Bone Thugs....Kellz the one opened the door for non singing nikkas to eat....lowkey Kellz mighta killed Rnb and hiphop,thats my goat though:mjcry:

Kellz had more balance though,and obviously showed better song writing and finesse then these new song writers.

Nothing in this song distinguishes her from any other "Singer" out there at the moment.

The game needs actual composers and producers producing singers again, not beat makers.

Singers need to start saying no to this trap&b nonsense.
That's not the problem breh. She has plenty of songs of just singing. I already posted another song of her singing. The song in the op was obviously a song for the "radio / club".
Her album is nothing like that. It's actually an outlier on the album:

Here's a couple dope tracks:

Again, she doesnt have a distinguishable voice or sound.

Non of those songs stand out at all.

Breh it's deeper than that, I'm not just talking about Sevyn, well this thread specifically is, but there's plenty of other r&b artists that black women relate too that aren't popping like that. I mean I just heard about Mila J last year, from listening to my girl play music in the car, and some of her catalog is popping and black women are def fukking wit Mila J......

This song is absolute fire:



and she's Jhene Aiko's older sister. She recently did a playboy shoot:

@stomachlines :whew:


i aint talking about just relating,women not buying into these women as people....in todays music if people dont care about you as a person you not gon have that rabid fanbase that you need to stand out.....I liked some Mila J songs too,but nah she aint got the juice like that. You gotta have a movement,you gotta have one of those "hives" on the innanet:scust:....most of these women dont have cult followings like that,just look at how Cardi B blew up....lowkey Love and HIphop does give these women a platform to show who they are,and get women to buy in....its unfortunate they gotta appear on that mess,but its the best platform it seems....labels obviously dont have a clue how to market black women on they own. Plus black women gon have to learn how to market themselves at this point to be honest,so far getting naked everywhere is the go to idea thanks to these ho's like Rhianna and Beyonce:mjcry:.

typically black women have not done a good job of this accross all entertainment platforms,its been pretty much left in the hands of men. I'm seeing improvement and them taking power into they own hands,but its a long way to go,and alot of misguided ideas. But I'd say the same for black men too,but we've been at it alot longer.

Artist like her are repetitive & redundant nowadays if you aint got no hits or something that makes you stand out like sza or jena aoki you might as well become a full time writer for white pop stars looking for r&b hits :yeshrug:

Also, R&B seems to refuse to evolve. A lot of new R&B songs could have been released in the 90s and 2000s. That's okay if you are catering to a niche market, but if you want mass appeal, you gotta evolve and stay with the times (which is mumble rap, for better or for worse). You need to be out there doing songs with Migos, Uzi, Yachty, 21 Savage, etc. :manny:
you can't honestly think r&b today sounds anything like 90s and 00s r&b....your opinion on this matter is null and void :childplease:

women (specifically black women) are who this is marketed to but unfortunately a lot of women would rather lip sync in their instagram story to some mediocre singing trap&b nikka crooning about paying their tuition, or either twerk or try and look hard like some nikkas to trap rap.

fermale r&b lane is tough tho, especially for black women.

you gotta be pretty exceptional musically to stand out, like solange.

it seems like some women only listen to either beyonce, rihanna, solange, or sza and they have no time for anybody new.

I think because R&B is played when it comes to being done by R&B artists these days. Seems like this generation of fans are more content with nikkas who can't sing as oppose to those who can. It's not all the way their fault. Cause you gotta look at what they grew up listening too. What was mainstream for the last 10 years before she came along? Not a lot of great shyt to be honest.

this. mumble rappers aren't even rapping and have taken up the "singing" aspect of things and very poorly I might add
