I think cacs and other non-blacks dislike R&B because it humanizes black people of being capable of basic human emotions like love and compassion. Whites and non-blacks believe blacks are hyperviolent, hyper sexual savages uncapable of love, hard work and being a decent human being. Hip Hop confirms whites negative stereotypes of black people. Nerdy cacs who listen to ATCQ and De La Soul are like "hey these black guys are different from all of the other savages rapping about guns, bytches and money".
R&B definitely always had a higher standard than Hip Hop too. I always noticed male R&B singers always even dressed better than rappers. Back in the early 2000's when rappers were wearing 8XL throwback dresses and white togas with size 48 Girbauds, R&B singers were already wearing fitted high end designer clothes. Puffy and Kanye borrowing from the R&B swag in the early 2000's forced Hip Hop to grow up a little bit more every year.
Now you wonder why everyone has tattoos on their eyeballs and the biggest rappers are bunch of weirdo Mexicans with rainbow hair.Its because Rap has been allowed to devolve into a complete minstrel show without the counterbalance of ungentrified pure unadulterated soul.
But not all non-blacks oblivious to R&B. I'm from Cali and Mexicans been jocking Funk music for decades. Most non-blacks in Cali only know about Soul because they actually lived in close contact with a lot of black people like Mexicans in L.A. county or Asians in Oakland. Culture vultures like Pete Rosenberg know nothing about Soul because he grew up in a rich ass white Jewish enclave of white ass suburban ass cultureless racist ass Montgomery County, MD and clearly didn't even listen to golden era Hip Hop when it was new in the early 90's, otherwise he would be praising Jodeci and Mary J in the same breath as Tribe and Wu-Tang because urban radio played their music back to back. Rosenberg was definitely listening to Nirvana and Pearl Jam in 1994 just like all the other "Rap is crap" cacs back then and started liking Wu and Tribe when black people stopped listening to them in the late 90's-early 2000's. Classic stuff white people like cac move.
What's funny is that cacs who read liner notes have no respect for classic R&B. Look up classic sampled R&B tracks from the 70's and 80's on Youtube and the comments are full of cacs quoting the rhymes of the rappers who sampled them. R&B is old black man music to cacs. Cacs don't know cookout music because they never been invited to the cookout, literally.
