Peter Rosenberg hating on these R&B battles is proof that you cant trust rap opinions from this dude

[tremonthustler1]

I can't entirely knock Rosenberg line of thinking on the R&B battles, although with his platform he shouldn't have said anything. Then again, so what. Man is entitled to his opinion. I never listed to R&B from the 90's, 2000 era. I couldn't name you one Brandy song, or Monica song. Couldn't name you not one Babyface song. I never listened to that stuff coming up. I barely remember Al B Sure and Bobby Brown. Plenty of dudes like that too. Whether they was into C-Bo or Murs.

Maybe it's because I had sisters who were into their R&B way more than I was, you have to try to avoid listening to R&B to not know of the big records that came out. I can see if you didn't know a deep album cut or whatever, but it's hard to not know those songs, at least the major songs, unless you were a total snob or didn't really grow up in that culture.

Rosenberg is the guy who only watched Rap City, the guy who when Ralph McDaniels decided to go old school and show throwback R&B /soul /reggae on Video Music Box, decided to take the day off, the guy who if there wasn't a rapper on Soul Train he didn't know, didn't even leave it on as background noise.

I know my fair share of R&B, from Usher, Mary J. Blige, Alicia Keys, Mariah Carey, some Brandy songs, New Edition, Bobby Brown, Whitney Houston, MJ, Chris Brown, Ryan Leslie, Neyo, 112, Aaliyah, Janet Jackson, some of Jon B and many more. Still trying to grow my playlist from songs i remember from the past.

Agreed. I didn't have sisters around during that time frame as they're older and I was left to myself. During my teenage years, around other dudes we never listened to Babyface. I'd watch videos of Jodeci, Blackstreet, R Kelly, etc, but buying an album of theirs? Naw, just wan't happening.

Rosenberg said he was a backpacker, and they definitely weren't listening to anything but Hip Hop, and some of that crowd was real snobbish too with it. The Def Jux stans were insufferable.

Haha, I don't doubt that you are. I have no reason nor care if you are. It's funny though cuz plenty of folks think you're Indian and you have the nerve to throw a cacusation my way. Don't do that. You're not in a position to do that.

Yeah, yeah, I understand the whole we are not monolithic thing but some of you coming across defensive .

I mean some you never heard gospel, blues-juke joint records, funk, soul-Motown, semi-disco, R&B records from your grandparents, uncs, aunts, parents and etc at cookouts, house parties/card games, family reunions, Saturday-Sunday Morning cleaning .

I can honestly say I never came across any black person with disdain or dislike R&B in my life.
