Also… A lot of the newer acts can’t sing.

I believe Tank said it first but the foundation of r&b is at the church.

this, easily one of dude best verses. mixtape version also sounds way better than the album for whatever reason.

Felt the same about that version as well. The album version has some unnecessary tweaks

Posting this here too. Felt a way about this since I don’t listen to R&B much at all.

Feel like this has been the sentiment for a long time. A lot of new age singers don’t have the juice like that. Their voices aren’t strong at all and that carries over into their performances. Ashanti and Ciara are Patti LaBelle and Aretha Franklin compared to some of these newer acts.

Another somewhat related thing is people like Morray and Rod Wave need to shift into actual R&B and get out of that overcrowded whiny pain harmonizing lane. We need husky singer back, it’s been a long time since Gerald LeVert and Ruben Studdard were here.
