I f*** Brent

But I do recognize fans have an affinity for romanticizing the past showing under dog’s overwhelming amounts of love

Sometimes unjustified (often times unjustified)

Brent isn’t playing a role in keeping the lights on right now...

Jacquees has more impact than Brent right now.. in my humble opinion

I’m starting to realize that white ppl have a certain aversion traditional RnB ..I’m trying to figure out if it’s the elaborate vocal stylings, the heavy gospel influence or unorthodox melodies that turns them off

There’s something about the Jazmine Sullivans, Tank, Brandy’s etc of the world that leaves a disconnect in comparison between their ‘RnB’ artists (weeknd, Frank, Khalid, James Blake) and those that belong to the black core RnB base (mainly females and gay men).

cmon. TRILOGY AND KISSLAND ARE DARKWAVE? Both are R&B, not even close to pop or darkwave primarily. why are you niggas acting so obtuse now? Weeknd is apparently closer to Dead Can Dance, In the Nursery, Depeche Mode and Gary Numan than his traditional r&b peers now only reason Kiss Land is coined as darkwave on Wikipedia because of the interesting productions on some songs like Adaptation and Tears in the Rain similar to In The Nursery or something. and critics brought that up first.

I never said BBTM isn't pop, I said it's still r&b at the heart. Is Thriller pop or r&b? it's BOTH.

MDM is also R&B, it's not darkwave at all. it's electronic productions make it alternative R&B.

also dude I just explained that Bryson Tiller is still r&b, but he's close to pop rap. and that Weeknd is closer to rnb than him.

It’s a cultural thing. They didn’t grow up on it. If you’re black, more specifically African American you without a doubt heard classic r&b music from your parents/grandparents

Khalid is pop, I don’t get why people try to claim he’s rnb

That may be it along with this generation disconnect with the black church that was a major tool in cultivating vocal/performing talents and musicianship.
