Saddest part is she's 31 too as an r&b singer if she hasn't cracked yet, it's probably not gonna happen :mjcry:

Yeah, same for rap these days. If you coherent and over 30 and didnt blow up, you will never catch on.

But RnB is dead to black female artists. Beyonce done destroyed that lane for any young black female artists for this generation. Rnb is taken over by white folks now. :francis:

Yeah her only real lane, is making songs about being cheated, she's done a ton of those. I think there's 4-5 songs on her new album getting cheated on. I'm like again....
Well the problem with the song in the OP is that it feature Ty and none of his features pop off... waste of time

The industry doesn't care about female R&B so it doesn't get a push

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:
This is a problem that people refuse to see. shyt is getting way too generic and now I realize that's why I fukk with neo-soul and alternative R&B more than traditional R&B.

:dahell:these 2 statements are contradictory for obvious reasons. Neo-Soul and Alt-R&B are evolutions of trad R&B

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.

Can't say shyt like that when Bobby Brown was singing, rapping & beat boxing on Arsenio...In some form or fashion he is the father of all this

If your a black female r&b artist of today, I really feel sorry for you. That lane is quickly closing in with alot of talented Singers/song makers are being boxed in with record companies trying to close the lid on it completely.

And the sadder thing these Singers thats trying to go the Rihanna route and ratcheting it up to stay revelant aint pushing units either.
