Has R&B fallen off?

BA said:
Rappers always gotta have some dull ass singing in their tracks. And not Nate Dogg/Kokane/Mike Marshall singin, the generic, bullshit ass singing, usually accompanied by autotune. I was pissed when I heard on of my favorite rappers use autotune in his last album. Luckily, he didn't lay it on TOO thick.

I'm done with new music for the most part. There is so much old school shit out there. I'm not even gonna scratch the surface when I die. Only a handful of rappers I'll fuck with that came out after 2000.

money is money to them, lol. I dont really mess with new hip hop or anything. I'd rather listen to alternative rock stations now. I still get down with Jigga tho. He hasn't really changed his style and he made that 'death of autotune' shit. he came from an era when real rappers battled n' spit and killed each other lyrically.

Then you came of age in the 90's like me. Back then we had Jodeci, Silk, Jagged Edge. I lost my V-Card to a 112 song. And even Brandi and Monica we're doing there thing back then. I think the problem was once the corporations realized that both Hip-Hop and R&B we're no longer fringe culture and the mainstream america was loving it, they pulled it into the Pop circle and watered it down. Even Bobby Valentino says R&B is dead right now.

Same here. These songs were my shit in 1st second and 3rd grade.


After the songs stopped coming on, I didn't hear them for years until I started downloading hell music. You know that feeling you get when you hear a song you ain't heard since elementary?
