Jodeci >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> any R&B group or artist today

[TraceOneInfinite Flat Earther 96']

sorry, just had to say that

...Akon is the only new R&B artist worth a listen.  Not only is hip-hop dead, but R&B is dead too.

When R&B was still alive......

Please compare that to this bullshit that's out today....

Enough said.

[MontrealCity's Most]

all rnb groups from the 90s are better

[penenstamp]

Today's (popular) R&B sucks.

[Furor Teutonicus]

nothing to add here.

Actually, I'd say Ne-Yo and John Legend are the only artist worth listening too in R&B.

LMAO @ this thread.
Only a gay would prefer akon over john legend,and YES even ne-yo is WAY better than akon

[TraceOneInfinite Flat Earther 96']

This thread definitely wasn't to argue in favor of Akon.  It was a thread to compare early to mid 90's R&B to the garbage that is out today.  I'm really not interested in arguing over whether or not Akon is doper than Ne-yo or John Legend or whoever, because I don't really give a fuck.

OK 
Akon is the only new R&B artist worth a listen

-Musiq Souchild just put out a fuckin great album

-Avant's new album is good

-James Fauntelroy

-Jermaine Paul (sings backup for Alicia Keys) Check these songs:        

-Novel can sing his ass off too


I got more R&B albums last year than I did Hip Hop.

90s RnB sucked. Put the best 10 RnB artists of the 90s together on one show and it'll be about half as good as an average high school talent show in the 1960s Detroit.


That being said, 90s RnB is still way better than the current stuff.

[West Coast Veteran]

Jodeci = OutKast of R&B

3 classics in a row! Switched sounds on each album.

[westsiderider323]

Jodeci is the only R&B i listen to

There you go again...


...like I said, you remind me of the Eminem fan who can't just say he likes "Lose Yourself" but has to say his favorite song was something off of the Infinite album or one of his rare guest appearances back in 1998 or something.

There is nothing obscure about Motown, Wilson Pickett, Sam Cooke, Otis Redding, or James Brown. There is talent and then there is no talent. More people will always know and love the voices of David Ruffin and Eddie Kendricks than the voices of KC and Jojo. In fact I'm using examples that are the exact opposite of what you claim I do. The songs are more popular. They sold more. And will continue to sell more.

This is what RnB is supposed to sound like;
