R&B Haters

[Warhammer]

Who the hell told Omarion that he could sing in the first place?

Shoot, I could sing like he could.

 

[AndThePickles]

QFT.

Someone else who knows who they are? Yay!!! t:

 

[Cmill216]

Wasn't Keri also was behind "Scream," which featured herself, Timbaland, and Nicole (from The Pussycat Dolls)?

I honestly haven't listened to that song closely enough to tell the difference between Keri and Nicole's voices.

But Keri wrote it.

Who the hell told Omarion that he could sing in the first place?

Probably his brother Marques.

God, I miss Immature. Or IMx. Or whatever the hell they called themselves before they faded out.

Well, I did know who Calvin Richardson was.

Probably his brother Marques.

God, I miss Immature. Or IMx. Or whatever the hell they called themselves before they faded out.

Man, I always heard about IMX touring with B2K and stuff, but has IMX ever hit it big? Have they ever had mainstream play? Music videos? MTV?

 

[AndThePickles]

Well, I did know who Calvin Richardson was.

He has a lot of really beautiful songs.

As for Xavier, http://music.download.com/xavieraeon/3600-8564_32-100425718.html

Listen to "Thinkin' Bout You," that's my favorite.

They had plenty of videos as Immature. Houston can sing a little but they were pretty much just as bad as B2K.

Will do.

Man, Immature was around during my 1st grade days.

 

[Warhammer]

ATP, I like Xavier.

Did Timbaland have a falling out with Ginuwine or something? G's most recent albums have been devoid of Timb's beats, and Timb hasn't been turning to G for vocals at all.

take this with a grain of salt, but i read somewhere that Ginuwine allegedly said that Timbaland sold out since he became more recognised in the mainstream scene.

 

[Ectomorphian]

I'm most excited about Keri Hilson's upcoming album. She's the chick in Timbaland's crew who's responsible for "The Way I Are" and "Miscommunication". She also wrote Omarion's tolerable "Ice Box".

Her way with a hook is pretty impressive and she definitely has shown off her own personal producing chops. I'm anxious to hear what her solo stuff will sound like. Keep an eye out.

I agree.

Her singing isn't over the top either, just right imo. She wrote "Wrong When You're Gone" and sung that pretty well, though the song has been butchered by JLo (since it's her song now for her new album) . She really has a way with her lyrics.. i just can't pinpoint what it is.

I hate RNB because it is crap.

Listen to GWAR it kills rnb - http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=nO-wAfvIF3s

If you disagree you are unfortunately ******ed.

It's like reading a YouTube comment...

 

[Memphis Slim]

Fame is not an indication of greatness. The most popular s**t is usually the most watered down crap out there anyway.

True

The Way I Are is the club banger right now. I will bump that in the car and start speeding on the expressway, the beat is that infectious.

 

[LexCorp]

R&B is not what it used to be

I have to admit, I like that song too.

Isn't that what everyone says about Timbaland now, in fact is he still doing stuff with Missy Elliot even?

50 cent thinks Chris Brown and Ciara are the future of R&B5:12AM / 15.08.2007

​

​

risdilinjahDon't be mean to me it's a slow news day.

"They came at me about doing the song and I heard the joint. It was before her album came out and I was thinking that she’s the future of R&B. People love Beyoncé, but look at how long she’s been around! I think that she’s dope, though. But I’m about the future of the business and her [Ciara] and Chris Brown are just that. They’re going to be the best things out in a lil’ bit. But as far as what people think between me and her, man, the video did that."

Its almost funny how everything that comes out of 50 cents mouth is so consistantly crap.

Ginuwine or anyone who would say that needs to be pummeled into unconciousness. Not that I'm some huge Timbaland fan or anything but a producer can work with whoever the hell he/she wants to. This "sell out" crap in nonsense.

Only that Universal is Planning to make a biopic of Missy Elliott, and Tim refusing a role in the movie after being asked by Missy herself.

I really do miss their collaborations, hearing both of their styles mixing was like getting an audio orgasm. the So Addictive days were hooot. they need to get back in the studio together.

I see where you are coming from. Unfortunately, i seem to lack the knowledge to disagree with this comment. It's true that a producer can work with anyone he/she chooses to.

Damn straight.
I'm still not tired of this song, especially when it comes on the radio.

Only that Universal is Planning to make a biopic of Missy Elliott, and Tim refusing a role in the movie after being asked by Missy herself.

Oh wow.
The funny thing about this is that Universal planned on doing the biopic like 3933423 years ago.

I miss their collabos, too.

I don't like that "sell-out" crap, either.

Haven't you people ever heard of the freaking Neo-Soul movement?

Kindred The Family Soul
Musiq Soulchild
India.Arie
Corrine Bailey Rae
Maxwell
Angie Stone
Jill Scott
Joss Stone
Floetry
Heather Headley
Bilal
Erykah Badu
Raphael Saadiq (former lead singer of Tony Toni Tone)

Just like you have your commercial hip hop, you will have your commercial R&B which can be a little soul less. However, just as there is a lot of hip hop with meaning and soul, there is much that is not played on the radio when it comes to R&B, and many know that to be what has been called "Neo Soul" which has been a small movement on the rise, and you can trace it back to the beginnings of Erykah Badu (who is a Dallas native by the way and a cool person all around). Just like you have your hip hop heads, you have your neosoul heads. All those artist listed above are all great artists in their own right. But that is just the tip of the iceberg.

I love R&B soul. I feel a little awkward at times listening to it in my car. Especially in this neighborhood.

[LexCorp]

I like the more old style of R&B when it focused more on the Blues side of things.
