She and her sister got naked in a video shoot for some indie white band,
They released the video of it,
You can search for it if it is still on the Internet.
Basically,
All the sista soulja/bohemian steeze she act upon,
I basically through it out of the window.
It all became an act.
If it was some brothers that did it,
She would have flooded earth with th gates of an open hell.

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.
IMO, there are no classics being made today in "Black" music...and for me, having to listen to "parents (age 45+) R&B station" isn't a bad thing for me...I know the station will play quality music.

There are some great radio stations and DJs in your area! I'm never disappointed in the quality of radio when I'm in NY!

While I somewhat agree with the premise of the thread, I'm really tired of the whole hating on young nikkas thing. Like how many of you are actually that old to be calling 18 or 19 yr olds youngsters? Like, you're in that much of a rush to act "grown"? It's one thing to see a parent telling his kid to shut off that cotdamn jungle music, but for me to be 25 and calling a college freshman a youngster is kinda lame as fukk. Not to mention, I'm assuming a lot of you are in your mid 20's like me, we were still "youngsters" when this trash era of R&B started getting popular and a lot of our peers helped make nikkas like Chris Brown popular. And a lot of our older siblings like that trash too. Don't try and pin it on the "youngsters", we all probably liked some shyt we wouldn't be proud to admit when we were in middle or high school.
All that said, R&B is like every other genre. You can find good artists if you look for them. Frank Ocean, no homo, is imo the only one holding it down on a mainstream level expect for when legends like Maxwell, Sade or :piedpiper: come through and crush the buildings every now and then.

Thread makes me miss 98.7, a NYC radio station that played strictly R & B, then it got thrown in the bushes :biggie:
Trey Songz and Frank Ocean gets spins on Power 105 though, Heart Attack and Thinking about you.
But it sucks that R & B isn't as mainstream as it was in the 90s to about 2004 or so.
A lot of dope R & B music is still being made, you just gotta know where to look for it.

lol. yall really in here classifying frank ocean & the weeknd as r&b artists?
I think the death of R&B can be attributed to two things:
1) The same thing that's killing hip hop, when we started letting these old white (and not even necessarily white) CEO types dictate what gets put out because they're only in the business of selling records. Who cares about artist integrity? Sound like the next guy because he sold X amount of records.
2) Singers no longer are brought up in the church. I'm not a super religious person, nor do I care what a lot of these "brought up in the church" singers did in their spare time, but one thing that can't be denied is that it honed their skills. Church singers also have to sing with feeling, thus birthing that "soulful" sound.
