One of my favorite tracks right here. These girls could sing.

This thread is worthless without some Jon B

http://youtube.com/watch?v=KdG5_jHWY3I

My favorite R&B/Soul artist.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=s8-waZ7VXA8

When girl groups were good.

I've never actually heard of Kut Klose, but that was a dope track that you posted up. But when it comes to Soul, nothing is beating these two artists:

Jon B was sick too, what the **** happened to him? He made a couple tracks with Babyface and Pac and just fell off the face of the earth..

OMG DAnglo was my dude fam. He killed those tracks, my absolute favorite was R. Kelly so much heat, and Genuine also,Pony is a classic

I think I got Brown Sugar a week after it came out. Bought the album solely for the title track. I'm in my early 20's. Tells you how young I was listening to stuff like SDM.

100% Ginuwine was late 90's, but a classic nonetheless. I had two copies of dem ****s stolen off me. Final Warning, Same Ol, Whats So Different, NYFB....damn. **** was a classic.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=cenLZpCz4qk

One of my favorite Aaliyah joints as well.

Has to be one of the best R&B releases of the 90's. This gets that right mood set, for those of you who ever listen to msuci when you have girls in bed.

100% Ginuwine is an okay album in my opinion. It is not a classic as every R&B fan says it is...it had two or three great tracks, the rest were ehhhhh and he is not nearly as good vocally as people think he is. It's just that sex appeal he has that people keep buying his ****.

I only discovered Brown Sugar a couple years ago, but it is a definite classic. Anything he puts out is creative and wicked, although it takes a little plays to really dig D'angelo's ****.

As for female artists...I would have to say Sade has the sexiest voice from a female I have ever heard. Anyone remember this ****:

...this track is jammin.

what happened to r&b?

what happened to r&b?

R&B is in a sad state right now. Ne-Yo would not be relevant 10 years ago but right now he is our best hope. But I heard D'Angelo is coming out with a new album this year, which should be dope.

R&B is still around. Just gotta search a bit harder. Too many "R&B" artists infuse rap breaks and pop/club sounds into their tracks now. It ruins them for the most part. I hear that the latest Raheem DeVaughn was really good. I have only heard a few tracks off it, but it definitely sounds like it's worth the buy. Here are some samples:

Desire

Of course Brian McKnight continues to come out with hot R&B. Nearly 20 years in the game and he's still relevant.

Yeah I heard two other tracks from his new album called 'Woman' and 'Customer'...definitely some good R&B to listen to and looks like that 'Woman' track will probably get some decent airplay.

I'm not a huge fan of Mcknight (his songs are too over the top, imo, like he's almost crying) but there's no doubt about his talent. I think he's got amazing range, probably one of the best in the music business.

gringo, what you think of Anthony Hamilton?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qy3fvGfv4Co

Hah anybody remember this here? This used to be the jam back in the day....

Even Polow Da Don got down in this ****. I always wanted a rap track to sample this.

That's my dude. I have Comin From Where, Soulife and Ain't Nobody Worryin. I actually hear "Can't Let Go" on the radio sometimes late at night. Charlene is one of the best soul songs to come out in a long time. He is a throwback. Unique voice, very original artist.

Comin From Where I'm From & Charlene is probably two of the best R&B tracks out there. He even did the Blueprint (Momma Loves Me) sample better then Jay did.

He made a new track for the American Gangster Soundtrack (I think it's new) which is typical Anthony...you can feel the pain in his voice, much like a Johnny Cash.

One of my ALL-TIME favorite R&B tracks. That old school Toni & Kenny was my ****. Babyface is one of the most talented musical minds around, period.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=Eohxz-KBjtY

Boomerang was a nostalgic movie for me. That was when I was still trying to sneak peaks at R rated movies and ****. Robin Givens was fine back in the day...almost as fine as Ms. Halle. That was a good ass soundtrack too.

damn, how could I forget...Raphael Saadiq is my dude. Tony toni tone is one of the best groups of all time:

Yeah Raheem DeVaughn is definitely one of the better R&B artists out there nowadays. I just heard one of his songs called Guess Who Loves You More. **** is hot for the ladies. Damn OG. You discovered D'Angelo when you were mad young. I was just a young buck in high school at the time & bought that same album for the exact same reason as you. I didn't know I had a jem till I brought it home. Also some good 90's R&B is that group Portrait. You can youtube their videos: I Can Call You & the Bee Gee's remake How Deep Is Your Love.

This dude named Urban Mystic good ****:

It's funny you said that. I met him a while back at a hotel where a friend of mine was staying at in Manhattan. He was mad cool. I also met/worked with his mother. Her maiden name is the same as my fams & she thinks we're probably related. Right now we're in the process of tracing that family line down to verify if we are. Strange ****. Brian gets his talent from her & he looks just like her. She serious on that piano.

Yeah I was young. I listened to Brown Sugar over and over and over again until I got a little tired of it, then I explored the rest. Moved onto Lady, then Cruisin, and so on...

Loved Portrait back in the day. "Here We Go" was my favorite track. I also really liked "Honey Dip".

Great story. That'd be crazy if you found out he was a second cousin or something. I was actually watching this "In Studio" thing on BET with Brian McKnight awhile back and he was talking about how he felt he wasn't even the musically talented one in his family. Must be a musical family you say. It was a cool show though, there was a small crowd of people who got to hear him play the piano and sing and talk about his career. I haven't seen any since.

Gotta shout out to Erykah Badu:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=leB7omDBgOU

Didn't like her at first when I heard Call Tyrone. The I heard "On & On", the track I posted above and "Other Side of the Game". Some smooth, hypnotic music. No wonder Baduizm went something like triple plat. Now Call Tyrone is just kinda comical for me.

Maybe the most beautiful song I have heard. Seriously...not even gonna say no homo. She sounds like an angel.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=YTAZ4GRy6Mg

i was bumpin d'angelo when i was 13 ****,damn,mother****er.

raheem is a revelation and anthony hamilton is the ****. too many chris browns and omarions right now its a ****ing joke. what y'all think of carl thomas? i liked some of his music.

Chris Brown is alright in my view...as far as these pop R&B artists go. I like some Ne-Yo material. "Let Go" was an amazing track. I liked "Touch" by Omarion, mainly because it was a great song to dance to when you go to the club.

Carl Thomas was alright. Average voice...Summer Rain and I Wish were good. His best song is actually a guest spot on a song by a prominent hip hop group.

If anyone can name that song you get some points.^ Just for S & G.

Omarion and Chris Brown both suck. I have heard only 1 good song from both of them a piece since they have been famous. Ne-Yo is a decent artist but you must admit that 10 years ago he would not even be relevant, but R&B is in a sad state (at least the mainstream is) as is hip hop.

Carl Thomas is dope as **** to me...'Let's Talk About It' is a classic album in my opinion and everything else he has done is solid. As for your little trivia question, I'd have to say that song by 8-Ball & MJG, it's on the 2 Fast 2 Furious Soundtrack, I can't remember what its called, I think 'Hands in the Air'...that song is dope as ****, wow I forgot about that song.

As for Baduh, I'm not on her vagina as everyone else is. I haven't liked most of the songs I have heard from her except for her features with the likes of Common, Roots, etc. I'll always consider Laurynn Hill better and more talented.

PS- WTF gringo???That song is gay as ****....lol

Right? I was just thinking how I would go to sleep listening to BET's Midnight Love and wonder where those days have gone?

It is pretty funny how the majority of us were like 14 and 15 and listening to some serious baby making music.

Trust me though, I have love for Kels. My sister bought 12 Play all of those years ago ('94?) and I have been listening to him ever since. One of the only R&B artists around who reinvented his act to stay up with the game.

Bump n Grind, Seems Like Your Ready, Sex Me...wow. Who else could get away with making a song called, "I Like the Crotch on You"? haha

Donell is amazing.
