The producers of today can barely read unless it is for a vape ingredient. But making real music built on music theory and not chopping up 90s samples? Nah...

R&B is trash in 2020
Inclined to agree.

But even if artists couldn't read music, old school artists could at least play instruments. And that last part seems to be dying.

I saw an interview of Rick James where he touched on this, saying that because kids aren't taught music and instruments in schools or at a young age, they never learn fundamentals of music or how to create something new and original. So all they have is to sample the works of someone else (and I suppose by extension, means music is less interesting -- but this is my conclusion)

I think hip hop/rap/R&B is all the same thing now. You give it different names but to me it's all just pop music.

blah.. its either that bum as autotune or they using this fake english accented voice

Female wise.. Its Snoh Aalegra she bomb and can sing. Everybody else is forgettable

Males? mostly all of them are forgettable.

I finally caught on to her.

Situationship:wow:

Her album has great production & she sounds like mix between Lauryn Hill & Brandy with a pinch of Mariah Carey.

& She sexy too. Kind of reminds me of jorja:ehh:

maybe instead support stranger subsets of music that dont fit either bill :leon: then maybe folks will stop believing they have to have a "sound" that sells

doubtful that happens though after seeing that AI travis bott

nikkas start up with this shyt every 5 years but continue to make the same remedial shyt they always do.:heh:
Stevie is still alive. nikkas should be sitting at his feet absorbing all his lessons the same way he did with The Funk Brothers:feedme:
At least we can go back and listen to classic R&B

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.

Cause women strive to be baby mammas and love getting fukked to trap music/autotune Hybrids like Future. :unimpressed:

Love doesnt exist anymore of the old kind. Too many people loving the strip club like the church for classy RnB to blow up again.
