Quote from: GYNandTONIC on December 13, 2015, 08:51:57 AMI think the blue eyed soul artist and the alternative r&b black artist have one thing in common. Stronger, deeper, more poetic lyrics.


BULL FUCKIN SHIT
How is Justin Timberlake singing about wearing a fucking suit & tie
SOOO "deep & poetic"? Robin Thicke (who is dope) singing "Blurred Lines" is about "love and not sex"? :uhh:
Nothing is wrong with the art of R&B, it's the business that's not supporting them whether they sing about love, hate, sex or whatever else

Oh! Poetic! Fuck you. (not you Ray. But yeah)

RekeRig

Still cant believe Taylor's "shake it off" went number fucking 1

please. haters gonna hate! lmao!! 


LOONA.

Scott.

I actually buy music and I support damn near everyone. Long as I like your shit.

I'll go on a random buying spree on itunes just cause I get the urge. It's just sad when black folks don't give their own a chance. Jazmine's name is thrown around because her music ain't much different than Adele.

And all this talk about white artists stepping out the box? Huh? Please. "Hello" is not out of the box.

me laughing at R Kelly in a thread on BSource has NOTHING
to do with R&B artists getting no opportunities, selling records etc.
Good try though

TriBeCa

Radio and tv, bust mostly radio. Can't deny its power on pop culture. So few corporations control all stations. Clear Channel being one, which is why their festival is always so star studded. With how many R&B acts exactly? ^o) We need GOOD music programming. We don't know who these artists are anymore. We just see photos of them and read what is told to us. What happened to Making The Video, Spring Break, Diary, music countdowns with interviews and performances, artists favorite video countdowns, ALBUM RELEASE SPECIALS, random shows with celebrity appearances. MTV was the shit one time. It was the number 1 station for an entire teenage/young adult generation, pre-internet launch.It was Brandy's music that captured me, buy her personality and aura that made me fall in love. She was so cute, unique, cool, beyond talented, outgoing. We all got to witness that. The magazine covers/endorsements didn't hurt so much either. ^_^ Same thing applies to other huge R&B acts at the time. Sorry for the rant. Lol.

And speaking of Usher

question  ... why did he take Justin Bieber under his wing instead of a young talented black boy :dead:

So if anything karma came back around and a white man sold better with a song similar to his. I don't feel bad for him :kii:

:feelinmyself:
