The 90′s all the way.. That boys to men n swv is my shit I also liked xscape.. The year 2000 n 2001 were full of good music usher, jagged edge, ashantii, tyrese , lil bow wow, nelly, n destiny’s child… They all had good music…
Janet Jackson and Aaliyah, Macheal Jackson. JD, Janet Jackson and Macheal Jackson is king of pop and qeen of pop. you say something post that you and Janet are back together you are back together with Janet or not just say it JD. I don’t understand why you just clean up. if you and Janet are back together than put her in next living the life.
Janet when I think of you, Rhythm Nation The Knonwledge. back cat
Definitely have to go with the 70′s and 80′s. The music back then was just so full of soul and had meaning behind it. Artists nowadays only wanna make money so they make a bunch of songs about sex and think they have a great album. No sir! Music back in the day was about more than sex. It was about love, intimacy, connection, and different ways to express that love. I’m 21 and I rarely listen to today’s music. I love Usher though because he’s one of the few artists of today who actually makes sense with his music and expresses his real emotions in his songs.
I’m going with the 90′s overall…You can’t deny the music back in the 80′s though it was all about making you feel good and having a message to it..most of the songs were about being in love and fighting for a cause..world peace and all that.
But the 90′s that was the best! it was about having fun! dancing and feeling good..too many to name but it was great!
The 80′s was IT! I was a teen then and it was just a good time for me and the music was off the chain! JD we had all those artist u named and more!
I listen to 60′s 70′s 80′s 90′s and the point that it starts to screw up is when we hit the new millenium!
Old school R&B was awesome! now new school R&B sucks….don’t know where the talent has gone!
I was born in 1989 and i loved the 90′s music but from 2000 music, it just horrible now. it sucks bad! could hardly find a hit every year! I barely don’t listen to the radio nomore. Today’s music sucks seriously, I have to immite that.
Im new on here by the way. I’m Nakita’s friend and i’m a big fan of hers right now.
What’s up J.D. I didn’t know you had your own blog, that’s what’s up!
I think that we have reach the point were music isn’t progressing.
We need a new sound, there is to much hip-hop around, I’m not against it, but it’s to much of the same flavor. There are still good musician out there that can escape of what I’m saying, but we need that in a massive way. Seriously, who wants to listen to the radio now days, they play the same crap everyday.
Nice playlist Nakita. I will diffently buy all the songs on itunes.
I like 60′s R&B because my mom plays it all the time when i was young. I don’t know too much of the 90′s stuff, I wasn’t allowed to listen to certain music growing up.
80′s and 90′s r&b music is quality, todays music is garbage.
Here are the reasons why i hate today’s R&B music
1. EVERY SINGLE SONG has the same idea of music i.e. There is always a single clap sound followed by a drum sound over and over even on the chorus Drum… clap.. drum… clap.. It just doesn’t sound all that great and it doesn’t catch my attention. New Jack Swing does the trick for me.
why cant today’s r&b have an acoustic R&B song too? Why does every song have to be a club track???
2. Songs are always about the same thing…
Every Song is always written about love… yes i know R&B is for emotions.. but i havent heard of one about the death of a friend or someone angry at a friend which leads me to number 3
3. I hate the artists.. because i often see these artist singing about a girl or a guy they love and how the will be together “forever” when next week they wrote pretty much the same song again meaning its about another girl or guy
So if anyone wants to prove me wrong and is not a 13 year old girl please do so!
im a 21 year old guy, i would want to hear from other 15/16 year old guys who listen to R&B and disagree
also if you agree thats nice too
I LOVE 90′S R&B MUSIC, I NEVER HAVE ENOUGH OF IT.
80′s early 90′s was the best hands down that when music was the best r&b was the raining champ everybody wanted to be a singer or dancer
80′s and 90′s hands down. theres nothing left to be said. just think back and pick your favorite song or slow jam, nine times outta ten its was made in the 80′s or 90′s
I would have to say the 60′s and the 90′s have birthed the most classics!! When u look at the artist and the sounds I like those eras.
P.S.
Look at the respose to this question.. People really miss real R&B!!
The 90′s were definatly the best!!!! R. Kelly changed the whole game!!!
Have you heard his new song “Religious”
He’s def. making a comeback!! the King of RnB is back!!
JD I GOT A QUESTION FOR YOU AND KEEP IT ALL THE WAY REAL I KNOW YOU WILL… IN MY OPINION RIGHT NOW TREY SONGZ IS R&B DO YOU AGREE?
70′s with out a doubt and then the mid late 80′s/early 90′s. There was a quality and depth to the music that has not been matched since.
It a lil hard to say because each era inspires the next.. I would have to say I enjoy some of the current R&B artist now. Lloyd, Trey Songz, Usher, Ginuwine, and a few other are some I look forward to hearing more from because they consistently are creative on different levels and put out music that you can vibe to on different occasions.
I’m an 80s kid to the fullest. But I’m gonna always ride with 90s R&B. That music had a perfection to it.
In the 80s of course you have classics, but the 90s took it to another level. And the swag was at 100%
R&B sucks now. I hope people with your power JD can try and bring a change to the industry. But I’m really not sure if it’s gonna be a change within the industy or with the consumers. It seems like our tastes have “dumbed down”. We accept this crap and brainwash ourselves thinking its hot. smh
Do a test. Take the 10 R&B cd/or single from 1995 and put them up against the top R&B of 2009.
And lets see which one is better.
Our renters moved out a few months ago and left us having a mess to clean up. Not only have been there holes in the wall, they also destroyed doors, window frames and carpets. They had been quite smart and covered up the damage with pictures, posters and curtains so we didn’t realize the extent of the damage until they have been gone. Now we’re fixing up the house so we can rent it again. Thankfully, this career is very much easier as we have a laptop with wireless capabilities. We’re able to Get Cracked Porn Site Logins. as well as other shows so we are entertained although toiling away. It is excellent that the World-wide-web offers things of this nature.
