No disrespect but 90's r&b sans boys 2 men and some Whitney was trash. Best decade for true soulful shyts was 60's and 70's. Hasn't been matched since.
the first part of this post is terrible

The R&B game today

This is why I fukks wit neo-soul artists. Sure, they might not wear deodorant, but at least I can vibe to their music
People who grew up in previous decades(even up thru the early-mid 00's), supported great R&B/Soul music even thru the changes from groups to more solo acts....from live instruments to all synth based New Jack swing stuff and back around again to a mixture....etc.
You will not hear R&B on urban radio even from a current great like an R. Kelly, anymore.
It's dead now. Even if ur in ur mid-late 20's or whatever you have to listen to ur parents(age 45+) R&B station to hear any of it.

These days, just being able to sing aint cutting it... the masses want somebody who's attractive, dresses well,can dance,can sing, etc.
Co-Sign.
It's even said to see Usher go from My Way(97'), 8701(01'), Confessions(04')to Here I Stand(08'), Raymond v. Raymond(10'), Looking 4 Myself(12').

Man what happened to RnB GROUPS?
Jodeci, Blackstreet, 112 and H-town were all groups. Main problem now is corporations got a hold of everything.
unless ur white.
ie Adele, and others etc.
But I cant give them too much criticism b/c the UK overall seems to appreciate R&B/Soul as much as ever
yeah,, ,if you notice Usher best stff was with Jimmy Jam & Lewis and B. Cox. On that R vs R album, the best two tracks were the ones produced by Jam & Lewis....but he's slowly moved away from them over the years.
most of these nikkas wanna jab each other in the ass.
