She is not and never was hip hop soul in the beginning of her carrer. If you would like to be specific, she was a contemporary r&b singer, with mosty pop influence. She was never a soul singer. She was pop, r&b, and reggae. Google her first 2 albums, look at the genre section.

Hip hop soul - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Contemporary r&b outside of Neo-Soul and New Jack swing is essentially, "HipHop Soul". "HipHop Soul" singers have never been true Soul musicians but they use much of the same vocal styles the difference was that the music/beat/production had a HipHop influence.

Hip hop soul is a subgenre of contemporary R&B music, most popular during the early and mid 1990s,[1] which fuses rhythm and blues/gospel singing with hip hop musical production.[1] The subgenre had evolved from a previous R&B subgenre, new jack swing,[2] which had incorporated hip-hop influences into R&B music.[2] By contrast, hip hop soul is, as described in The Encyclopedia of African American Music, "quite literally soul singing over hip hop grooves".[1]

in the broader sense, Contemp R&B can be any post-disco sound music with Soul roots.

Contemporary R&B, also known as simply R&B, is a music genre that combines elements of rhythm and blues, soul, funk, pop, hip hop and dance.

Contemporary R&B has a polished record production style, drum machine-backed rhythms, an occasional saxophone-laced beat to give a jazz feel (mostly common in contemporary R&B songs prior to the year 1995) and a smooth, lush style of vocal arrangement. Electronic influences are becoming an increasing trend and the use of hip hop or dance-inspired beats are typical, although the roughness and grit inherent in hip hop may be reduced and smoothed out. Contemporary R&B vocalists are often known for their use of melisma, popularized by vocalists such as Michael Jackson, R. Kelly, Stevie Wonder,[1] Whitney Houston[1][2][3] and Mariah Carey.[2][4][5]

Richard J. Ripani wrote that Janet Jackson's Control (1986) was "important to the development of R&B for a number of reasons", as she and her producers, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, "crafted a new sound that fuses the rhythmic elements of funk and disco, along with heavy doses of synthesizers, percussion, sound effects, and a rap music sensibility."[8] Ripani wrote that "the success of Control led to the incorporation of stylistic traits of rap over the next few years, and Janet Jackson was to continue to be one of the leaders in that development."[8] That same year, Teddy Riley began producing R&B recordings that included hip hop influences. This combination of R&B style and hip hop rhythms was termed new jack swing and was applied to artists such as Bobby Brown, Keith Sweat, Al B. Sure!, Guy, Jodeci and Bell Biv DeVoe.

You are wrong. Like I said.

Hip hop soul is a subgenre of contemporary R&B music, most popular during the early and mid 1990s,[1] which fuses rhythm and blues/gospel singing with hip hopmusical production.[1] The subgenre had evolved from a previous R&B subgenre, new jack swing,[2] which had incorporated hip-hop influences into R&B music.[2] By contrast, hip hop soul is, as described in The Encyclopedia of African American Music, "quite literally soul singing over hip hop grooves".[1]

The genre was most popular during the mid 1990s[1] with artists such as Mary J. Blige (known as the "Queen of Hip-Hop Soul"), Jodeci, TLC, R. Kelly, and Montell Jordan.[2] By the late 1990s, hip hop soul would lead to the creation of neo soul,[1][2] which retained the hip-hop and R&B/gospel influences while also adding elements of classic 1970s soul music.[1]

Soul is a popular music genre that originated in the United States in the 1950s and early 1960s. It combines elements of African-Americangospel music, rhythm and blues and jazz.

Her music was r&b reggae and pop.It was also dance hall and "dance pop". You'll see it if you google. Her music sounded nothing like mary j blidge, tlc, jodeci or any other people who are known for that "hip hop soul" sound.

If you are still confused, that's just too bad. Stop quoting me

Tidal? What exactly did Tidal do to halt the success of those singles? The singles just didn't pop off like that because they weren't the typical Rihanna songs. She even said she wanted to do something different with this one.

BBHMM was a Tidal only exclusive, initially hindering its sales.

Same with American Oxygen which fukked over its video streaming numbers. If she had put it out on Vevo first instead it would have launched higher on the Hot 100

45S she only did one promo spot for so it stalled at #4 on the charts

It might've launched higher, but what about it's staying power? It could've charted higher and then fell off the next week. Nothing was stopping it from moving up either.
