Why is R&B dead in 2014?

[QamYasharahla]

Modern R&B has been terrible since about 2001-2002, and good stuff like Raheem Devaughn doesn't sell.

There was is some talent tho. 8701 came out that year and it was a hot album and Neo -soul had a little revival around 03-04
Raheem Devaughn is talented but some of his songs are average. If he managed to get some good producers behind him maybe that would change.
A lot of the talented artist songs are not catchy tho. They get those throwaway beats.

Artist development is dead and you can't just put out R&B singer without them being developed.

I think mainly because rnb musicians try to Rap and feature rappers on their songs more than ever

Modern R&B is for single black women and gay dookie chasers

The biggest art development company right now is with warner bros and their based in Korea workin with Kpop artist and Korean r&b.

1. No one pays for whole albums anymore
2. Producers need to make money
3. Combining rap and R&B into an indistinct miasma of party songs that promote bullshyttery is the only thing that people will spend money on.

Solution: Ignore the top 20 songs on iTunes, stop buying individual singles from shytty artists, and start buying whole albums from good artists.

Real talk breh.

R&B is too loaded estrogen. Plus the artists are ass trash.

You notice the only r&b artist with a broad fanbase is Beyonces overrated ass.

Fekket music.
