Which stations? Cause I never hear Maxwell, they playing him on La Mega se Pega or something![]()
The only stations on my dial are hot 97, power 105, 92.3, 100.3 and another button I never push. I think it was hot 97 that played him though..
There's really no difference between mainstream rap and R&B now, the "collabo" really killed R&B something serious.
Is that Trey Songz or Usher?Buh buh but my female co worker was singing "im about to diiiiveeeee iiinnnnn"....

who said 12 play was the GOAT R&B album on here?
i saw a thread on here about r.kelly discography and people were saying 12 play was the greatest R&B cd
i wasnt really talking about on the-coli though, ive heard 12 Play get the GOAT title in plenty of convos
when i said creative outlet i meant a music genre where black people can bust out some instruments and compose (no sampling), there should be a genre for black people thats completely different from rap... it still can "hip hop"Nah, while I dont agree that 12 Play is the GOAt r&B album, or even anywhere close to it...from start to end it might not even be in my top 3 R. Kelly albums, BUT it's not the beginning of the end.
But R. Kelly did contribute to the beginning of the end with TP2.....as great as that album was, it started the whole R&B thug-sing-talk/rap movement, which everyone else copied afterwards.
And black people DO have creative outlets, maybe now more than ever with the ease of making music on computers......they just have no role models anymore. When every song is made using 1 or 2 notes on a keyboard or arpegiattors, it doesnt foster or encourage great muscianship like we used to have.
And the younger gens brains have been trained to find anything slow, or without a super reptitive chorus to be "boring".
Dont get me wrong, I like & can appreciate even ignorant ass rap like 2Chainz, it's not what I'm limited to.

and yes the sing/rap movement definitely hurt black music, youngins down days give thelook when they hear some extreme soulful voice on black radio, but its ok when they hear it from white folks
sometimes i feel that we african americans are a defeated group of people
