DUBCC - Tha Connection > Outbound Connection
When and Why did RnB and Rock n Roll become to different genres?
Shallow:
--- Quote from: Kill on November 27, 2004, 06:12:50 AM ---you got a point Shallow, but the obvious part of the answer should be clear to you, too: People associate a certain sound with a certain style and it is of course not really the easy way to take in account the whole history of the music a band plays every time in order to say what genre they are, you'll just listen to it and, going from what it sounds like, match it with the word commonly used for such music. You won't say Snoop Dogg is Rock'n'Roll if somebody asks you what kinda music he does, yet you could argue that he is

I understand, but it still doesn't make sense some times. B2K can sing the same songs N' Synch do and they'll be on BET and called RnB. George Michael songs aren't any different than Michael Jackson, but you'd never see George Michael on BET, or being called RnB. I wasn't applying to musics that sound different. Obviously there is no confusing the sound of Iron Maiden with Tribe Called Quest, but Michael Bolton isn't too different than Luther Vandross, but Vandross fans would say so, just because he's black. I just don't like that RnB automatically means black. If a white guy does RnB it's soft rock or pop, but all three are the same. Rock n Roll (or Rhythm and Blues) is all the same thing. I just wish people realized. Sure Snoop and Elvis don't do the same thing, but neither doies Peyton Manning and Ray Lewis, but they both play football, just different positions. You should categorize to help people identify, but you should also realize the bigger picture. I don't mean you specifically.

^he def does..
Shallow:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Trauma might have something to say about that.
Luke, that wasn't sacrastic was it? I don't think it was but we've argued before.
To be honest I don't know a lot about music. I know a little about a lot of different types of music. Well the history of them anyway. The actual music part? Well that's not in my realm of knowledge. You put me in front of a piano and tell me to play blues chords, followed with jazz chords, and finish it off with classical progressions, and you'll hear nothing but noise because I can't play for shit, and I wouldn't know what notes to press. Some guys can sit in front of one and play every single style. That's knowing a lot about music.
Thanks for the compliment though.
Don Breezio:
no it wasnt sarcastic....but yeah i meant more about music history and such....
