I have to be honest, I'm not feeling the R&B of today. These guys aren't romantic anymore, it's just a bunch of crying heartbroken dudes and sexually aggressive thugs. Who do we have right now? Trey Songz, Frank Ocean, Chris Brown, and the Weeknd. Of all these guys I only like a handful of their songs. I can't bump the Weeknd, dude has no bass in his voice, I would rather listen to Drake. At least when he sings its consistently catchy.
What I'm saying is our generation doesn't match up in any way to the R&B singers of the past. We don't even have a black boy band, where's the new B2k? Look who the grown folks had: R. Kelly, Jodeci, Boyz II Men, Keith Sweat the list goes on. These guys had it all, heartbreak songs, love making anthems, and style. Our singers are only specialists in some of these categories, we need to step it up.
Maybe I should come out and me an R&B singer, bring the soul back! I got the choreography down all I need now is a chiseled chest and tons of baby oil, the rest will fall into place...
