Real Talk is there any classic R&B music being made??

[kzzl]

i don't see how people think Trey Songs can sing.... dude's voice sucks. i stopped fucking with the radio a couple years ago, so i don't know who all is in the biz. but niggas wasn't dropping shit like the ol'school niggas back in the day. Teddy P. was a fucking fool with it. and Chaka Khan is one of best singers still. and Prince is just a fucking artist all around. they got folks like that these days?

Jamie Fox was the last dude i saw with any real talent. especially after hearing that brady bunch skit he did.

That last Eric Benet album was hot.

Most of yall prob didnt listen.

You gotta dig past the radio if you want the good music.

New school R&B sucks & is super dead...

Trey should not even be mentioned in this thread.

BSN by Maxwell is a classic . Pretty Wings will be played on your local quiet storms for the next 30 years.

Maxwell , Sade, Kem , and artist in that lane are the only ones with the talent and the ability to give you classic material. They dont only give you lyrics with depth , but musically they offer you more than just you basic track. They offer you real musicianship and instrumentation like they great artist of the past did ( ie Marvin Gaye , Steve Curtis Mayfeild etc ). The music also connect with is listeners so it will have more staying power than a Trey Songs Track.

If you really want to hear great music check out Esperanza Spalding. She is more talented musically than 95% of the artsit named on this entire thread.

Drake got some classic R&B shit on his So Far Gone mixtape but niggas hate him to much to acknowledge it

No...........mixtape was Crack, but dude cant sing for shit

 

[tri3w]

Not sure if anybody has mentioned these guys/albums, but...

J. Holiday's last album was the best male R&B album of last you IMO. And it's full of "Baby Makin" joints, if you haven't heard it check it out.And for some good R&B (not just baby makin music) check out Eric Roberson, dude is a beast... his album "Left..." was serious.

And Raheem DeVaughn's last album was good as well.

yea................that Was A Crazy album...............kinda sad he didnt Sell

I think TS has a point....................The R&B Game is suffering from the Same thing HipHop is goin through, lack of talent..............U know the Game is fucked up when A Nigga like Dream Or T-pain Could come on the scene, make an "R&B" album even though they cant sing for shit, and get praised and Lauded for it. its kinda sad, back in they Day u had to be able to Sing, niggas dont Appreciate Singin No more. Trey is Cool, but I like Him on His First album. He was Really doin R&B then, Now he is just singin. Just like in HipHop, we have to Support Niggas with reall talent, how can really sing and make songs. Not Go and make Excuse 4 them

Hey I feel you . But Kelly and Mary J are somewhat originators of that sound . What happened was they everybody and their mother started doing it instead of being original . I agree that we as a whole need to support talented artist with records sales, but those same artist do get supported with concert sales because their music connects with fans people will pay to go see them. The weak artist cant sell records or concert tickets that why they fall of so quick and have no classic material. Now the New Jack Swing Era, I personally hated , Most of those artist weren't even relevant after that era was up. This is just my opinion.

Hot yes, Timeless ? Thats another question. As far as accolades , people that know music give those artist the credit they deserve. Of course people want to get paid for the music they make , but true artist only need that accolades from the fans and other musicians .

I beg to differ, I think alot of Classic Joints Came out of that Union, LIke i stated b4 it was a matter of being Done Rite........

Well let me rephrase that , Alot of classic joint did come out of it. You are correct it has to be done right , but artist with real talent. I am very selective with the music I listen to. If a song doesnt offer me anything musically or have any depth , I cant listen to it. For example I like think Trey is talented , but his songs have no depth. Because of that his songs dont have any staying power . Yea they are hot for a min, but not timeless. If he made song with more depth with the talent he has he can go from good to great.

I think the threadstarter should be asking not if there is any classic R&B music beinge made, but whether there's any classic music being made PERIOD. because honestly, there really isnt and that goes for virtually every musical genre not just r&b. unless u venture into the underground
