:mjlol: Everyone in this thread just drive-by criticizing Jacquees for remixing other artists' hits for his mixtapes are just indirectly admitting they don't actually bother to check for his original music.

He makes 2000s R&B

he’s very good at what he does but his style of music doesn’t have much mainstream appeal

he’s about as big as you expect someone to be with his style

and y’all have to remember that rappers don’t have R&B features anymore so these singers are only appealing to R&B fans

That's a good ass point. A lot of Jacquees' original music sounds like 2000's R&B. Which is why I like his music, but it definitely stands out as being dated compared to mainstream urban music nowadays.

The interesting thing is despite Jacquees' music often being a throwback to 2000's R&B, he's a complete non-factor on Urban AC radio. Just checked his billboard chart history & the only time Jacquees has charted on the Billboard Adult R&B Airplay chart is Donell Jones's current "Karma remix" single which Jacques is featured on along with 3 other late 90's-early 00's male R&B singers.

That's hilarious since I've always said he was tryna to sound like Donnell Jones.

But im a Donnell fan so :salute:

Glad to hear that breh is back. I will be checking the song out.

No crossover songs. If you not a Khalid/Daniel Ceasar type you not getting mainstream looks

He followed the Trey Songz path of putting out some straight up R&B projects and then also remixing everybody elses shyt (Trigga tapes back in the day :wow:)
but Trey had crossover hits with Say Ahh and Bottoms Up that took him over the edge

His mixtape with Dej Loaf "F*ck A Friend Zone" is a classic, especially with the current HBCU college crowd:blessed:. It's a shame they only shot one video.

Put that album on with ya gal and

If he came out in 2005 he would be a star.

I fw his music but his sound doesn't sell like that anymore.

Cash money is washed and not a label for r&b

he’s short and not very cute so there goes the sex appeal bump

his style doesn’t match the dark moody inarticulate r&b vibe nor does he do the “nasaly, weird inflection to sound more neo souly” thing people like SZA, summer walker, and Khalid do
I like him he can’t sing but I kinda like his vibe .

His mixtape he had with dej loaf was nice .


I also got this song in my playlist .
