and its a shame Adelle is this huge superstar when she's a carbon copy of Jill Scott.
there's no reason why Keyshia Cole can't be on the level of Mary j Blige.
No a day's you have to already have a following and a finished product before a record label to show interest. Hip Hop evolves so it's adaptable but R&B is R&B no matter what.
And how many times do you hear a rapper using instramentals that are more suited for an R&B song?

Hip Hop/Rap isn't dead though, there are several venues to discuss,acquire and in general be "Hip Hop" over the internet.
There is a large Hip Hop community that promotes and listens to a wide variety of acts.
Without the internet I'd say the statement were true but that isn't the case if you ask me.
R&B on the other hand isn't built around a culture like Hip Hop.
There is no independent R&B circuit like there is for Hip Hop or Rock.
You can't go to a one stop shop for R&B like Datpiff or HotNewMixTapes (both of which actually have a small R&B presence).
R&B is essentially urban pop music, it's been blending with Hip Hop for years now, well over 15 of them I'd say.

They only want to play a select order of music.

R & B directly reflects what's happening towards man/ woman relations now: just pure sex and one night stands. "Love" to many young folks is considered simping and rather put up this fake ass image to look good to the opposite sex. Genuine love doesn't exist anymore since it got deteriorated to the point where marriage/ long term relationships is an afterthought for most people under 30 these days.
But the merging of music hurts the quality of everything.

Exactly
This day and age, even the r&b artists are disrespectful towards women (see Trey Songz - 2 reasons) so how do you expect men to respect women and women to respect themselves.
