Is Real R&B Still Around?

<< < (2/8) > >>

dunno what's the general definition of RnB but if B2K are RnB then it's obviously them being black what makes them RnB cuz they basically do the same kinda music that white boy-groups do.. maybe they feature rappers a bit more often but other than that it's the same


whether it's real or not, I can't stand none of the cats that be in the charts and are considered RnB nowdays

Don Breezio:
ok so let me prove you guys wrong then:

Jagged Edge - I Got It (feat. Trina) vs. B2K - Uh Huh

....hmm...both party beats, bout the same lyrics, only difference is jagged edges featured trina...so how is b2k pop?

lets try another:

Joe - Treat Her Like A Lady vs. B2K - Girlfriend

again...same lyrics, beats not much different...so how does b2k fit into pop?

oh yeah i know how they fit into pop....because they have more radio play...wow...

i imagine i could probably prove wrong just about any song you threw out there.

i dont agree that R&B & Soul should be split up...just like i dont think rap & hip hop should be split up...its all the same thing just with different styles.

and throwback...i am going to say this as nicely as possible:


--- Quote ---i hate it that B2K act real 'ghetto' but they've never seen a ghetto i think..
--- End quote ---

just by the fact that you said i think proves you dont have any reason to say that. unless you've actually grown up w/ b2k then we dont know. chances are your probably right...i doubt they've ever been to a ghetto either...but then again i dont know...nor care. and i really dont care how they act...that has nothing to do with how they sound. but just to humor you. there was a guy on this board who went to school with lil fizz i believe...if he reads this then hopefully he'll give us the info on how they grew up.

so in that same thought then white boys cant be R&B singers? because last time i listened to the solo justin timberlake album i thought wow...this guy is a damn good R&B singer. (if you've heard his album you'll know why i say that) the guy has more talent than most of the R&B singers out there...sure nsync sucks but him solo is dope.

or eamon...the guy is whiter than i am and he's got a hit on the charts right now.

white Boy:
i dont like R&B, unless i wana fall asleep

SGV:
Artists like Floetry, Alicia Keys, Goapele, Anthony Hamilton, Erykah Badu, Bilal, Musiq, etc. They bring back the essence of Soul music. When I hear people like Ray J, Jagged Edge, B2K, Marques Houston, R.Kelly(now at least) etc. they don't really keep that "Soul essence." It's more Hip Hop influenced, which to me, is rather lame. Catchy, but lame.

As fro B2K being similar to White Pop acts. Lyric wise, of course. They sing about love etc. But, it's their style(harmonies etc.) and beats. I mean, you can tell the difference between a B2K beat and say N*Sync.

An artist like Frankie J. He was Justin Timberlake before Justin Timberlake. He used to make Latin Pop, but now is considered R & B.
