Arin Ray becoming who he is was great to see

R&B is in a fine place. Everything you want out of the genre is readily available.

They trying too hard to be like the rappers

oooh now we talkin!

platinum fire was special. should be in upper echelon of modern rnb albums. just so perfect

Its good money and good music. I dont hold it against them

they both are goats at melody. Don't let these dweebs fool u

It's available yes, but in my opinion just not as good as what we got in the past.

facts, from X Factor to actually being taken serious. Platinum Fire was heat, pun intended ig.

crazy to think arin ray isn’t originally from cali but he captured the essence so well on platinum fire. beautiful music fr man

Daniel Caesar’s music is still heat tbh

Tory Lanez f***in sucks bro lmao

always will be.

It's just different, and for some that may be worse so I can't fault them.

The marketplace shifted as Hip-Hop became more prominent with melody. The more Hip-Hop became melodic, the more the genres became intertwined, and that's why the most popular R&B today sounds the way it does.

But, the R&B that you or I grew up on is definitely available if you want it. I was just listening to DVSN and Giveon last night

What? F*** no

he a goofy but he talented i wont lie

I ain't clicking play on this lmao

Will never top freudian.

Stop saying s*** sucks that you haven't heard man that's waccckkkk plus unlike most of the newer guys he can actually sing live.

I've heard enough of him years ago to make the decision that I do not like his music at all. Also...NO HE CAN NOT.

Forreal, the thing is people have to receive it. The culture now goes against the foundation of r&b. If you really feel someone it’s considered being a simp which that word has a negative tone to it.

Also s***is not intimate like how it was before. Everyone has easy access to it over the internet and it’s constantly in our face everyday. S***is not “interesting” because it’s so common now.

Or people don’t really take their time with relationships so it’s harder for people to really connect with the lyrics. I’m also not just talking about being “lovey dovey”, it’s the ups and downs of being in a relationship that most people don’t experience anymore.

Recommending RAAHiiM, he works a lot with DVSN and dropped a really solid EP

"Heard all I needed to hear Years ago" that's all I needed to see.

Fasho

Needs more Brandy

I will clash this w/any of your R&B guys that you think is better
