Trey Songz Sits Atop The R&B Genre

[Mr. R&B]

Uhhh...

I really don't see how he's on top of the R&B game. Enlighten me.

And, personally, I think he's overrated and boring.

 

[TrulyIlly]

Quite laughable. He's an okay artist but if you are talking in terms of talent then you still have people like Raheem DeVaughn, Musiq, Anthony Hamilton who trump him. And even if you are speaking in terms of popularity or sales then you got to look at people like a Maxwell whose career will always have life 10 years from now and can sell 500K right out the gate as to where it will take Trey months before cracking 300K so uh yeah

No....

wow have we forgotten about neyo this quickly?

look I like trey and I think if he keeps his content in check he might have a chance at the greatness you've prematurely claimed for him.

but come on...seriously?

 

[spit_fiya]

Dude has a great work ethic...I agree he is running the game right now...foo can rap too....His mixtape material > most R&B artists catalog.

Ne-Yo is exactly who popped into my mind while typing up my first comment in this thread. Alicia Keys, also.

In my opinion, they've both been sitting on-top of the R&B game for quite sometime.

Maxwell's up there, as well.

Same ole same ole bro. Now back to Trey I have been listening to more of his music lately and the dude can sing his ass ff no doubt. He had good melodies and song structure. I feel that out of all the new cats he is one of the better artist. My prob with Trey is that I feel that he is so good if his songs had more depth he could be great. It like this with me., yeah we know you gettin pussy dog , but give me more songs with substance if he did that he could really seperate himself from the rest of the pack

I understand ya sentiment... He's growing... He still has to put up with the politics and bullshit unlike an artist as established as a Jay Z or Maxwell even... Give him time. Also there are different types of Trey Fans... You strike me as the type that would enjoy his albums much more than his mixtape material... I enjoy it all... I know your music IQ is pretty high, so I know for a fact you can appreciate songs like "All the If's" "Black Roses" "Most Important" and so on and so forth

Ive watched this kid mature in a short period of time, keep in mind he just got his break in 05... Also I dont want anyone to feel like when Im pointing out Trey's greatness, that Im trying to take away from other artists... I love all music I love everybody... It just is what it is

Chris Brown came and went

Neyo came and went

Pleasure P came and went

Llyod came and went

and so on and so forth

Trey is still delivering no signs of slowing down

And everybody out there... I love the Raheem Devaughn's, I love the Maxwell's, I love the Conya Doss' I dont consider them apart of the R&B genre.... Its not the same lane... These people are more Soul and Jazz influenced... Trey is Hip Hop and R&b... its not fair to compare these artist because they cater to different people... when you compare these kind of artists it just leads to arguments based on perception where no one is actually wrong, its all opinion...

 

[mike06]

he needs to thank Chris Brown for slappin RiRi, and Usher for getting married,locked down with kids and ultimately PLAYED....lmao...but i agree he is on top of the R&B game RIGHT now(male-wise)...lets see if he can keep riding the wave

it's crazy cuz for a minute i thought Mario was gonna be where Trey is now when he dropped his album.....

 

[Mr. R&B]

Neyo came and went

..........

 

[mike06]

oh and getting to tour wit Jay-Z always helps too....lmao
