As someone who’s “apart” of this generation yes some of us still love and listen to R&B. I enjoy listening to the older songs but it’s annoying grouping a whole generation into one.

[@louash2]

One reason is that traditional music development no longer exists. These artists used to get proper training 1. by their labels when signed as youngsters, and 2. by schools or the church before they were signed. So most of these new artists can not SING SING because they weren’t trained. And they also have no stage command for that same reason. There’s also no performance platforms with the decline of awards shows. Artists are coming up from SoundCloud and KZbin and then getting signed from there because they were already popular. The 2000’s had tons of great artists, Usher, Mario, Ginuwine, NeYo, Chris Brown and on and on. But those were all the last of these classicly developed artists. And you have Bieber, Weeknd, and Frank kind of bridging the gap between the generations of artists. Now the labels have primarily pushed hip hop artists as that’s the dominant genre.

this is true. dallas austin said the same. if they came to get signed and couldnt, couldnt dance, you werent signed. he said we wouldnt have had TLC if they couldnt hold a note in front of them

i dont blame Chris Brown but at the same time i do , I think Chris Browns rise ,marketability and talent set the bar unrealistically high ,the man is literally a one of one type of artist ,his appearance was perfect when he came into the business , he was damn near every girls crush in the 2000s , he could sing ,perform and dance better than 99.9% of the acts that came before him and on top of it he was so multi talented outside of music tat we all just assumed thats the new standard and unfortunately whether we like it or not the dudes an anomaly ,we'll probably never see another male RnB or pop artist thats anywhere close to that

[@goodLIFE-ec2id]

I understand your point of view Don but you missed a couple of big points The reason why r&b has been down for some time is because by 2008 onwards hip hop over took r&b so much to the point where hip hop infused itself with r&b elements such as artists like drake etc 2nd reason because of hip hop becoming so big and taking r&b elements into their own, r&b had to change from love making to rap/singing or creating dark toxic love artists like Chris brown and early weeknd r&b mixtape days had to pioneered their own respective styles 3rd reason is a lot of r&b artists are not unique enough with a mixture of lyrical savvy enough or couldn’t adapt to the 2010’s artists like august jermiah Alicia keys usher later fell off r kelly later fell off Now in the 2020’s there’s a lot more promise into r&b because hip hop is losing its commercial value due to female rap doing poor and most male rappers are doing poor Apart from the big four. And r&b acts like summer SZA Brent to an extent and newcomers like Tommy richman. Fridayy kali uchis muni long victoria are rising the genre up due to their unique sounds for r&b so in this decade there is more of a chance

Nah, these 2020 artists aren't cutting it either. R&B needs to go back to sounding like R&B without the pop and hip-hop fusion in the mix. It's so hard to differentiate who's in what genre now since it's all so intertwining. Everyone wants to be everything, which isn't so bad leave the genres separated.

[@goodLIFE-ec2id]

But thats the thing these artists that I’ve mentioned they do r&b but with their unique style sound for r&b nowadays in the music industry it’s very important to have a good marketing aesthetic as well as your own style of sound or other wise people will call u boring its just how the industry is nowadays lol

[@devontehuntley6274]

Well, he got tied up in that gangster stuff, drugs, and domestic abuse. Dude couldn't keep a clean image to save his life and it carried over to his music and tainted that. When you're a big-name star, others are looking up to you and that's not good if they start tuning out and the genre entirely or worse...copying your bad style/habits. Perhaps if he remained on the straight path, he could have helped boosted the up-and-coming singers in the next generation, but he helped paved the way for them being trash because all they had to do was be mediocre, cling to cliche bad industry habits, and make bland music that can't even stick or have a bit of buzz but is tossed aside quickly.

Ngl, I blame Drake and infused music. Im not saying that you have to be in one genre, but these r&b artists want to be rappers, gansta, so bad the aesthetics don't mix. I think Chris Brown actually has so much potential to make good music and great-sounding songs, but they all sound the same. The topic-beat, production, et cetera-is a reflection of his not being able to grow, and it reflects his (no shade) boring life. I think that’s why a lot of his fans say he makes better music when he’s “sober” and in love, but still, it’s not like he doesn’t have the chops to do more. I’ve heard a lot of his creative songs, and they are not bad at all. They don’t have presence because they are boring and do nothing for r&b.

I wanna draw attention to the fact that Ariana Grande’s ‘Positions’ was a commercially successful faithfully R&B album, however, because she’s a white pops star, the album was wrongly labelled Pop, and were supposed to pretend we wouldn’t call ‘Positions’ an r&b album had it been made by a black woman 👀 🫢

[@nameisamine]

R&B _was_ Pop music in 90’s & 00’s but after the 00’s Pop stopped looking to R&B for inspiration, and started looking to EDM and Hiphop instead. During the EDM wave in the early 10’s commercial R&B collapsed and during Hip-Hop’s reign in the late 10’s commercial R&B became swallowed by trap beats, lost its identity, and became indistinguishable from melodic rap to audiences and the others retreated into alternative singer/songwriter territory after losing the mainstream. The gap in the market for Male R&B and male R&B groups has been filled by the Koreans. Hence why Usher is doing duets singing & dancing with Jungkook. There’s just no-one else to pass the torch to.

Chris Brown, Usher, Normani, Victoria monet, and etc have been forced into r&b despite making pop songs. Goggle their name with an award show and see what pops up. Pop/r&b Soul/r&b

[@AuthorDarrellCScottJr]

Sabrina Claudio is a modern R&B artist not mentioned here. Would love to hear a take on her.

[@TheGamersGuide819]

Breathe Again was not on the secrets album!

[@archmichaels]

10:21 The song is titled "The Worst." 😅

[@domotemujin7780]

Khalid is so criminally underrated 😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩❤

[@jonathansims9406]

Today's, so-called R&b sucks! I always stick to listening to the 80s,90s, and early 2000 R&B. Back then, music had soul and more relatable content, unlike today's music.

[@smithstreamtv]

He said the 2000’s was the best era of R&B 😂😂😂 that was hilarious

[@KerrasCorner]

Can you talk about how the Korean Pop Culture is trying to take over / is really going strong in the R&B category over the years? I think that’d be real Cool to see you dissect!

[@zia8188]

As a kpop fan since I was 9 years old and now in my mid 20s, I’m actually tired of them copying the western music. It’s just the same. If I want to listen to R&B I’ll listen to the 90s and 2000s R&B

[@KerrasCorner]

@@zia8188 very good take! It’s so interesting to see how much their music has changed since western influences and even K-pop artists now becoming mainstream in American media

[@DanaLett]

YOU NEED TO FIRE YOU'RE IMAGINATION

[@jordanjohnson5597]

I (a male singer toying w/ the idea of singing again) have never been so sad at the level of accuracy in this subject matter…I can make the music, but don’t look to make an impact unless you do it outside of music first…pretty much…and be DOPE at creating a vibe/experience….BET!

[@suchaboponline]

Honorable mentions for male artists who made/make R&B music include Justin Bieber, Justin Timberlake, and Bruno Mars, which makes this topic even more compelling.

[@deondraa]

A lot of these new R&B artist can’t sing 🤷🏾‍♀️. Yeah the songs are good but imagine if someone with actual range sang these songs.

[@leena5875]

unpopular opinion but you don’t need to be the best singer to be a good artist. the problem imo is when you aren’t the best singer and are also lacking in creativity, writing, and aura/persona

[@Donpovich]

They been using AI stand ins /correction snaps for years lol. There are so many people that have replicated chris browns exact sound on record just by knowing what to do. The engineer and the song writers are the ones putting everything together majority of the time.

[@deondraa]

@@leena5875 a singer doesn’t have to be the best singer?? That’s the exact issue right there lol.

[@deondraa]

@@Donpovich plus they literally keep the vocals from reference tracks that they use it’s a joke.

[@BlackStarrTurnsHeel]

70s, 80s, and especially 90s R&B is getting the 2000's R&B outta here. What are you talking about? 🤨

[@starrinight6114]

rnb today is just "bbl lash tech" background music

[@leena5875]

i think part of the reason rnb isn’t selling anymore is it doesn’t appeal to a wide audience like other genres and has few with great ingenuity and things of value to say

[@dashiajames1882]

Good afternoon: I wouldn't say they destroyed R&B. Cuz R&B isn't dead. Personally Male R&B has gotten so weak, phony, deceitful, suck & more. They just lack so much. I honestly think R&B is at a hault. Or stand still & is on a ventilator trying to holds it's own. But it only can last for so long..!! But definitely not dead. I personally don't have 1 fave singer/rapper. I have favorite things that I dislike/like about each of them. Nowadays why these wannabe artists & newbies feel soooo closed in. Like something's gonna happen if they step ouuta their comfort zone..?? Maybe that something is what they need. They should go see Kanye. They seem scared. Newbies or wannabe artists lack- determination, love & ambition. And strength. Just by their music, it shows they don't love & aren't trying to hard enough. If this is the future, then I wonder what the future has in store for us. I was always told it's better to be Uncommon. Maybe I was told wrong. Was I..?? They do need to step it up & really quick. And every minute counts. Early 00's & 90's will always be the best era & no one can change my mind. Great video & Have a great day...!!

[@johndough813]

Fridayy should have been on this list

[@twannifufu]

Fact check: "One Sweet Day" spent 16 CONSECUTIVE weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100. To this day, it is the longest-charting Hot 100 #1 debut single of all time.

[@mikeyyyy8915]

That’s wrong

[@divine4064]

Nowadays kids (tiktok) don't like R&B that's y the labels aren't pushing r&b act Male r&b is really dead , i don't remember the last male r&b album i have listened to. I just listen on their singles Chris brown Angel numbers/ten toes ,Fridayy When it comes to you, Usher ft H.e.r Risk It All, Khalid Please don't fall in love with me, Partynextdoor No Chill, Last heartbreak ft Giveon by Ayra starr I actually moved to drake for more r&b music like Slime you out ft Sza My actual favourite r&b artists are currently flopping and no one is talking about them H.E.R, Chlöe Bailey, Normani ,Coco Jones and Tems Shout out to Sza and The Weeknd for still keeping r&b mainstream by releasing Hits 🙌👏 To me i wouldn't add summer walker she's falling off And shoutout to Muni long and Sza they are the only two female r&b artists to release hit Made for me is my jam

[@tbhpt2126]

King of panty dropper music got u a new subscriber 😂😂😂that was funny

[@shylady8711]

Vedo's music is still popping off.

[@OvhoKaren]

R&B is trash now because they wanna sing in cursive and be rappers I’ll stick to 90s 80s 70s and early 2000s stopping at 2010 r&b

[@ADyani6]

R Pissy Kelly took me OUTTTTTT

[@Iamjamarco]

Tink just dropped a album and it is so good

[@stacedoggkyles6451]

I really miss 😢 90s and 2000s R&B ❤😢

[@Therealshellyquest]

1993- 6 was the best for rap- HANDS DOWN

[@archmichaels]

12:33 Exactly 😢 you know him or you don't. I heard his speaking voice for the first time in 2020, 2020 (6 freaking years after discovering him). Come on, man. 😢😅😢

[@GogoGaga000]

U are right about points they all sound the same there's nothing in their music so annoying i hope someone will save the genre

[@manouchkakushka222]

Everything is a f**kin vibe nowadays with R&B. That's the problem. Take the genre away from LA PLEASE.

[@katem504]

Anothet good vidéo Don.

[@preposteroussvideos]

R&B is my favorite genre too Angelo I would really love a video on your fav songs,fav artists and playlists etc

[@nicoleford4819]

Cant wait for the artist ïnnü to blow up! The main one doing real r&b! Honestly we all need to pay attention to the independents. They’re r&b is way more innovative

[@TreXsJournal-Coming-Soon]

There are plenty of us who are talented enough. We just don't have the means to get music recorded and promoted.

[@FrostFanatikmusic]

Summer Walker had no personality…. SZA be doing something … and The Weeknd just so happen to pop after not giving up

[@therealartistsquared]

Victoria Monet is promising
