I'm gonna take off the nostalgia glasses here and tell you that this was the start of the downfall of true R&B as it became more urbanized thoughout the 90s.

And R&B was always "urban" for each of it's eras. Except for like the earlier blues days when it was rural country folks. Seeing these guys in big butterfly collars and their hair laid to the side.

Edit: Not to mention a lot of the same artists did sound tracks to Blaxploitation films. Had dudes rocking mink coats and tons of jewelry.
