1. Nothing is really killing Hip Hop in 2012.
C.E.O's see that funding a Hip Hop project in 2012 that isn't good music is failing.
This isn't 2001-2005/6, you can't just go platinum off of a hot song.
A lot of cats that are currently hot grinded their way to their spot.
Meek Mill, Wale, Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, Drake, B.o.B. all put in extensive work to get to the point where they can sell hundreds of thousands of records, all while staying "Artists" and not carbon copies of each other.
The Chief Keef's, Waka Flocka's etc. will come and go but cats like these dudes will have much longe careers.
It's the reason we see Kreayshawn's 5,000 records sold against Kendricks 326,000 or Drakes Platinum Albums, or Lupe's 100,000 records sold.
The problem with R&B at least with Black artists as far as I can tell is the genre has no real community or culture to it.
R&B artists are separate from each other, the Community/Culture of Hip Hop is what differentiates Hip Hop from R&B
and most likely is what ultimately lead to R&B being consumed by Hip Hop.
In Hip Hop collaborations are common and not wanting to be left behind a lot of R&B artists started using Hip Hop production Techniques like sampling, then they copied whole song structures and eventually they created music over the same instrumentals choosing Hip Hop producers over R&B producers who happened to make a little Hip Hop.
On top of that these kids with singing talent are growing up in the same communities as the kids with rapping talent and a lot of would be singers most likely became rappers or producers and engrossed in Hip Hop culture, that isn't to say there aren't singers out because I'm certain there is plenty.
I don't know the entire 60+ year of R&B but I think I can say that the last 30 years are pretty telling of what's happened.
2. You don't need the church to develop a soulful sound and honing your skills can be done in entirely different settings. Taking college courses, home training courses or getting a decent singing coach/teacher (along with a great deal of talent...) would enable mediocre singers to hone their skill and become great, while the exceptional ones would leave their peers behind.
With that said I don't think R&B Died there is some really good talent out there. I just feel that a lot of the people who say "R&B Is dead" are also in the same crowd of people who don't actively follow any new artists in Hip Hop.

If that cut came out today it would have negative 2 YouTube views,
Such a good song.
Times have changed,
Society is not as emotional as it once was.
Both men and women wear the pants today,
There is no "I'll come home to you from work" and "make love to you",
Or a "I'll cook you dinner" and "do you like I'm pose to do"
It's more of a straight to the point society now,
You got what I want and vice versa.
R&B does not reflect out culture fully as it once did.
If you really want to get into the Mythos of how R&B died,
Start in the early 2000's with the death of Barry White, Luther Vandross and the solo career of Justin Timberlake.
Yes,
Justin is vital,
N'Sync single handly destroyed real R&B groups,
Only right the popular member destroyed the solo scene.
As someone stated,
One should start with arts and music and in churches to hone their skills.
No kid really is about that today,
Besides loud,
Loud is what crack was to babies in the 80's.
That's a diff story.
They just want to fukk and smoke all day.
It a reflection of our society.
That I'll make love to you, I want to know your, pretty brown round, on a bended knee, pretty brown eyes does not exist it out current society today,
If it did,
We would still be making those type of sounds.
Hip hop has a lot to do will the current state of other black music as well.

out of how many songs tho?
i'm out here listenin to The Weeknd nd i love it..
IMO opinion the main problem is that there arent anymore real music producers and composers. These artists are out here singing over rap beats. Listen to some old R&B and the singing complemented the music, they went hand in hand.
Music is being taught in school. Just that for some reason nikkas have made being in the band something lame and geeky. Then wanna turn around 10 years later and wonder why they dont have any good live music to listen to.
