thread is too real Being a R&B head myself I always say that most of these white vultures don't know a damn thing about that soulful R&B records from the 70s,80s,90s

Problem is, many of the young black kids now don't either.

And they have no desire to.

To them, Drake is core R&B.

If we wanna get real, the fall off of R&B is the main fall off of Black music in general.

No lies. Classic rnb and soul will always be>>>>>

I remember as a kid riding in the car with my parents , my parents playing his R&b mixtapes with artists such as Michael Jackson, Bobby Brown, Johnny Gill, Keith Sweat, Teddy Pendergrass, Guy, Levert and other R&b music from the 80's and 90's.They even played some older music such as Marvin Gaye, The Temptations, Smokey Robinson, Parliament and The Jackson 5.I remember as a kid loving both R&B and Hip Hop music but being slightly more into Hip Hop. But never would I think the state of R&b would be where it is today. And like the OP stated there are a lot of culture vultures perpetuating to be fans of black music but be besides maybe Usher, Beyonce R Kelly and a few other R&b singers cannot name any other singers in the genre. That's why sometimes you have people such as Chris Brown or R Kelly rappers.

they don't make R&B artists like this anymore. That vibe/energy is damn near gone now.

Drake being their core R&B is sad


Remember when the BET New Edition movie dropped and how shocked these young kids were about how great they were I do hope that some of these young black artists will bring R&B back the mainstream forefront. I hate seeing these white artists bite these old school black artists and get all the recognition and accolades from the wave these old school artists created.

Piff thread another thing we need to do is take back rock music, to many pioneers known and unknown out there

 

[Soundbwoy]

[Rozay Oro]

I'm 20 and I grew up on soul/rnb music, my parents were born in 1955 and 1970, they don't really mess with too much rap post 50 Cent

They put me onto Jodeci, Guy, Isley Bros, O'Jays, and listening to Tom Joyner in the morning every morning did help. shyt I prolly listened to more classic rnb than classic hip hop

That pure soulful cookout music Cacs just don't get it

 

[chineebai]

No lies told. I think r&b was a lot easier for me to get into as a kid. Hip Hop you had to be a little older to understand. That's why NY Undercover is always one of my favorite shows, it put on so many of the r&b music that I loved. Because of r&b, I got into house music a lot as a kid too but I'm not sure what happened there, it's been Euro-fied.

Superb thread

That's why I wasn't too thrilled with Anderson .Paak's new single. I'm never one to say an artists should stick to one sound but I remember playing Am I Wrong at a jam,
shyt had everybody groovin Especially when those horns come in



Cacs can't replicate that
