R&B is not "back."

Y'all stay posting the same Emo depression Autotune shyt and call it "R&B"

Where are the slow jams? Mid-tempo classics?
Just because it isn’t being made to your preference doesn’t mean it isn’t back

the illusion of romance is on it's deathbed

simp music is parody status now

keep it real life ain't nothing sweet ha

Marriage rates and 2 parent households also dropped the same time Rnb got removed from airwaves. You want ratchet songs to be the soundtrack of your kids lives?

I miss the male and female powerhouse R&B vocalists


Where are the Luthers, Regina Belle, Teddy P, Peabo Bryson, Lisa Fischer, James Ingram, Billy Ocean, Phyllis Hyman etc....

All the current r&b artists are either singing like they’re rapping, or have whispery voices or don’t know how to carry a note live.

It’s so disappointing.
This.

"Reality" gives you dumbed down content and ignorance unbound. You want c00ns and sex workers to get all the praise? They no good for black music in the long run
you have a narrow view on reality

where they praising c00ns & whores at¿ who¿

find the wave that works for you as an individual

To take things a step further, I really miss SANGIN' groups. Back in the day, I could play some 112, Dru Hill, New Edition, Ruff Endz, SWV, Blackstreet, En Vogue, Jagged Edge, etc. when I had a girl come over. In my Dad's era, he had The Temptations, The O' Jays, The Whispers, The Isley Bros., etc.
I hate that times changed and everybody in groups wanted to be a solo star (and try to keep all of the music money for themselves).

i understand why you would look for that in music

it's highly unlikely to be found when music is a mirror

nothing uplifting or pro.black about the world

i don't look to music for that type of edification

my own meditations & thoughts are what keep me up & focused on the people who matter in life

that is not the job of an entertainer.........entertainment is synonymous with distraction it's just something on the side for me

Tell that to Public Enemy, Dead Prez, or anyone from The Nation of Islam.
