If he made a wack track to cater for that audience then yes I wouldn't be feeling that track, but if he continues making quality music that just happens to get a lot of radio play then he would still be just as dope. I can't really ever imagine 12 year old girls screaming over Raphael Saadiq.

the point is you may still love it but there are hundereds of thousands of people out there who would totally flip if it got popular. take an artist like linkin park for example. back when hybrid theory dropped they were unknown for months but the people that knew about them loved them. but then as soon as the album started getting tons of radio & video play everyone started to hate on them.
another example:
Blink 182...i know probably 50 people who own their first few albums and loved em...then as soon as blink released "All The Small Things" to the radio and it started getting played 1000 times a day they hated blink. even though their albums sounded exactly the same as far as style goes.
my point is some of us (as in me and you) are more conscious towards shit and really dont care if it gets play or not...but there are thousands of people who would drop their favorite artist in a minute if they heard them more than twice a day on the radio.
On The Edge of Insanity:
Yeah I totally get what you're saying, and its pretty sad that is how a lot of people are. On the Blink thing though, there first two albums did have more of a cali-punk feel to them, there was definitely a switch up in style for the album with "All The Small Things" on it, but I feel that album was probably the highlight of their career.

yeah actually i've really felt all of their albums but especially their last 3 (minus the concert album even though it was easily the funniest one i've ever heard)

I don't think R&B ever really did exsist. You got your pop and your soul. I guess some artists you can consider a mix of both and that can be R&B.
