A large shift from romance to just using one another in relationships in the blk community. Art imitates life. (Although take that with a grain of salt because art is being used to manipulate and shape life as well.)

A lot of ignant blk men and blk women are bitter and butt hurt towards one another and out to romantically commit psychological warfare on some fukkboi #HOH bullshyt or some #UseHim nonsense. Music production reflects the desires of the pseudo audience. Pseudo because we're being led to desire dumb shyt just as much as music is attributed to the desires of the masses.

Sweetness and love has become synonymous with "simping" (one of the worse cop outs in the world btw) and given a negative connotation.


simpin, pawg and c00nin are the most overused words that used wrong on this site or in the young community.:mjlol:

Love me some old school R&B. My moms played all the joints while I was growing up :wow:.

Also this is one of my fav songs, I have a video of me dancing to it when I was 5 :takedat:

R&B never died for me, cause these songs are timeless.:ohlawd:

Both those points dead on. Cacs dismantled black r&b frm the top (because it starts w/ them) nd put the entire machine behind rap. 2 birds one stone. Dey got filthy rich off the genre while simaltaneously promotin ignorance tenfold. I really jus started noticin cacs like bieber nd adele aint doin nothin but singin repackaged black r&b. Young cacs actin like its somethin new under the sun. Once the game got infiltrated by Justin T nd Em nd white ppl seen that lane...that was all she wrote. The popularity of trey songz nd breezy further contributed to its downfall since they werent pushin traditional r&b nd doin hybrid r&b rap shyt

:wow:

It was done on purpose to over ratchet new black music, to break down happy family reunions, or straight up not have any in the first place.

You right. Problem is the "stop hating, get money" mentality came about in the mid 00s from the south mainstream music, and it affected black music for the worse. No one strives to make better art anymore. It's all about money, and exposure over shortcuts.

pretty good article, nothing but facts :wow:



8 Reasons Why R&B Has Died in the Black Community - Atlanta Black Star

here's the list

1. The Whitewash
2. Too Much Focus on Physical Attributes, Not Enough on Talent
3. Producer-Focused
4. Too Much Sex
5. Artists Too Limited
6. Nobody Is Buying Music Anymore
7. R&B and Hip-Hop Have Coalesced Into a Single Genre
8. Computerized Production

6 & 7 are the only things that make sense on here...

i'll add a #9 - people forgot what the R and the B stand for.
