So brehs who was the first RnB thug?

[KingHurst]

i was watching the Tyga/Bhris Brown interview for Hot 97 and it left me wondering who opened up the floodgates for all this fake thugging by RnB Singers/Rappers like Bhris Brown, Agust Alsina type we have flooding the scene

 

[Canada Goose]

Some Latino R & B singer made an remix to John Legend's "Ordinary People" singing about guns with the same melody and all forgot the name though.





And of course this....

 

[Kitsch]

That niche isn't anything new, you had singers in the '60s doing the very most.

Reccently, I'd say singers like Aaron Hall and Lyfe Jennings.

They could sing their asses off, but they did give away that "rough" image back in the 90s.
