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.

I guess some artists you can consider a mix of both and that can be R&B.what? dude what do you call Keith Sweat, New Edition, Blackstreet, Toni Tony Tone, Jagged Edge, R. Kelly, and the list goes on? i dunno bout you but when i think of pop i picture britney spears, the backstreet boys, and n'sync. when i think about soul i picture sade, marvin gaye, and al greenthe other stuff is straight up R&B
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.
stuff which is rnb to me has no replay value at all, good for clubs maybe, but not for constant listening. Soulful artists have something special in their voices which sets them apart from rnb artists and gives them much more replay value.

Same for 50, i know peeps who luved him when "Guess Who's Back" dropped and are now talkin bout how he got no talentas for the original subject i pretty much agree withQuote from: Waitin For The DJ on February 27, 2004, 12:34:29 PMstuff which is rnb to me has no replay value at all, good for clubs maybe, but not for constant listening.

mayne, i can sum rnb up in 1 word. "Aaliyah" if she was still alive RnB would still be as hot...
im one of those 50 haters you described...now i never heard guess whos back but i used to bump the in too deep soundtrack all the time just for the 2 50 songs...i know he's got talent i just feel like he's not using it all. i've heard some shit he released before grodt and its not bad at all. he isnt using his talent which is why i dont like him.
as far as linkin park goes does it really matter if they release singles from the same album? if they are good songs it really shouldnt matter what album it comes from. and its not like they were all from the same album at the same time...they had a few other songs they released from other peoples albums (like the X-Ecutioners "It's Goin Down")
