Nah…

I could put a far superior list together of 2000s R&B. The top 20…

 

[Po pimp]

I don’t think anyone “cares” it’s just interesting to see what these cacs think good R&B is and how they attempt to rank it.

I’m just saying, over the past few years when people have started posting their lists, they’ve all been trash. From their top rap artists, top artists overall, to top albums, etc. Didn't they have Missy Elliot ahead of 2pac?

 

[Sad Bunny]

Frank

It’s just their opinion but watch people still get upset. Emotional ass nikkaz

 

[Taadow]

"Full Moon" is Brandy's second worst single of all-time...and they think it's the #10 R&B song of the 21st Century. Wow.

And they got "Be Here" at #48. Unbelievable.

 

[jaydawg08]

Confessions is great, shouldn't be #1, but D'Angelo "How Does it Feel" is a classic song.. It should be ranked higher than Confessions

 

[Tribal Outkast]

I mean this will at least remind people about a lot of them older songs so I ain’t mad. They be killing me trying to sneak certain artists and sings in there next to these major hits though. What is John Redcorn? Is that even a household song? They picked the wrong Ari Lennox song too.

Em @#47!

 

[xiceman191]

I do horrible with time. Cause I could of swore some of those songs came out alot earlier than they did.

 

[invalid]

No Amel Larrieux (Sweet Misery, For Real, Get Up), no Sade (By Your Side, Lover's Rock, Soldier of Love), no Corrine Bailey Rae (Like a Star), no Lianne Las Havas (No Room For Doubt)...

Multiple songs from DeAngelo, Raheim, Jill Scott should've been listed.

No Kem?
No Maxwell?

Damn.

 

[btd623]

No Kells?

list is trash

 

[neph27]

I'm sure that because this is the coli and the Internet it's time to just completely slander the list from top to bottom because it's extremely easy to be an armchair critic

I'm not saying anything is perfect and especially not order but I love so much of the music on this list. I have a massive RnB playlist my wife and I listen to all the time and id say like 50-60% of this list is on it.
