8 Reasons Why R&B Has Died In The Black Community

[Ronnie Lott]

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.

It's true.

You don't even listen to the good music that's out there. You only listen to the radio. You're essentially a sheep

the elements that kept black music is not present. creative black exec that write and spot talent. 2 a strong creative black marketing time. 3 good black radio jock that will play thesongs. 4 good black concert promoters 5 good black talent bookers. the list is endless

Every era has it's own unique sound and trends. I think we're kinda in a transition stage right now when it to R&B/soul music. The Doowop Motown era had to transition to the 70s funk era, the 70s funk era had to transition to the smoother Disco era, both funk and disco help birth hiphop, soul pop, Minneapolis sound etc. I feel like in terms of black music something is cooking it's just not quite done yet.
