The entire organic process that cultivated popular Black music for decades has completely disappeared and cannot be replicated by Spotify, YouTube, Instagram and Tik Tok.
Our overall relationship with Black music, which was once an extension of our connection to the Creator, has been irrevocably altered.
At one point, whether you were in a Black household in Hollis, Queens or Durham, North Carolina, you could expect to see a piano in the parlor or living room.
And dad (when we use to have dads in our households..) may have had his drums or guitar and amp in the basement, attic or garage (see Joe Jackson for further reference).
There was a time when it seemed like almost every mom and teacher in the community could play the piano. And Mrs. Watkins could switch from "Wade In The Water" to some Boogie Woogie blues with a quickness.
Black high schools and community centers used to have talent shows, battle of the bands regularly.
The Black church was the center of all music education, creation and celebration.
None of this can be achieved through OnlyFans accounts and uploads on YouTube, which is why very few Black artists (of any genre) scale to popularity today like they did 1940s - 1990s.
No one is ready to dispute this

Teddy Riley was a child prodigy and played multiple instruments and he was part of the r&b/ hip hop marriage. That’s what the current crop is missing today

Even the melodies in Modern slow tempo country music has more “soul” than current r&b 
. That’s what r&b is missing “melody” .

Bc we dont have enough platforms, save Soul train that cater to the music, and promote unknown, or ignored artists.
You don't necessarily know what you're talking about.
Bobby Womack played acoustic guitar on many of his hits in the 70s
The Isley Brothers hhave classics led by the acoustic guitar.
Babyface the same.
Joe is a great guitar player.
R&B players on acoustic guitar are dope as hell bc soul chords you play on piano sound incredible on a guitar
