Not directly but just because something isn’t on purpose doesn’t mean it can’t make someone feel a way
I 100% understand what Shaq is saying but also don’t think OP is doing that intentionally because they’re black
It’s a nuanced discussion and if u dont wanna have it then don’t have it but don’t invalidate niggas feelings, plus u aren’t black right?
yeah I’m not black, and I wasn’t dismissing shaq. I just hate when people bring up s*** that doesn’t have anything to do with the conversation.
How weeknd or frank influence party or Bryson
?
Brent with Frank is valid but the rest lmaoo
I just meant they’re all children of that class of artists, party can probably be grouped in with the OGs since his sound is more physically present nowadays but that class of 2011 r&b artists footprint is everywhere now

I know that and I wasn’t trying to accuse anyone of anything that’s why I get reluctant to bring it up
It does suck sometimes though trying to express how you feel and then having it immediately written off

F*** you

Bro is a joke
F*** you
you didn’t understand my post
I’m not gonna keep wasting my time on internet drama lmao
That nigga Frank labeled Nostalgia Ultra bluegrass, he’s never repped being R&B
They gave niggas the keys to a new type of R&B and you know what? The ones that came after them squandered it
Not tryna argue, but did you listen to Dawn FM? It’s one of his weirdest albums to date and goes back to those weird things that made trilogy cool but in his current form
He has whole ass freestyle songs (Starry Eyes) and whole ass tangents that are songs (Every Angel Is Terrifying)
Yeah I definitely keep four to five tracks from that album in rotation. Those songs you mentioned didn’t hit in first listen and I haven’t gone back to them much since the first few days of the record dropping. Maybe I’ll give it another spin tho.
That's sad.
Phabo Soulquarius out now
Leon Bridges Gold-Diggers Sound and Texas Moon EP out now
Thanks for the tips
If you think genre is "superfluous nerd talk" then you dont what youre talking about lmao. Genres are actually a thing for the casual/mainstream audience.
And you are literally stripping to barebones lmao. If you can recognize basic elements thats on you. 808s are also used in pop music & rnb and even country btw, thats not all it is. Youre dumbing it down to pointlessness for the sake of your stance, when its more than that & actually not all that difficult.
It only get "difficult" or "messy" when you start talking in depth and nitpicking, which most people dont do & thats not the point of the usage of genre.
Very pretentious & blinded take imo. I never agreed with it. Its actually only "music nerds" that have an issue with genre & nutpick & cherrpick.
Genre is just a way for easy organizing and identifying. Thats it.
no one cares what “genre” some s*** is lol
is the song good or not
that’s all that matters

Slightly off topic but R&b being so low energy and lacking in strong melodies besides a handful of artists is keeping the genre in stasis

This is simply not true
Weeknd tweeted early on that he wasnt here to save rnb
I can’t believe The Weeknd started making cheesy 80s music. He needs to go back to sampling classic 90s rnb, like Aaliyah.
Cheesy lmao. Hes making the best music since kiss land
