She kept that shit one hunnid!
Love her/.
True....But the real issue is that too many of us suffer from the disease of WHITE VALIDATION, we sell ourselves short
The real stuff doesn't get promoted and is under funded by design. They promote the garbage and put it in your face and to tell the world this is who we are. While the intelligent artists are unknown and are not heard and seen by design.
Same with Jazz
Hip Hop is going the same way every other genre we created went before it. Rock, Country, Blues, Jazz, Disco, RNB, HIP HOP. They copy our shit, and as soon there's is enough white artists good enough to sound just like us, the majority of black artist's sales drop while the white artists sales increase. We all know in America, if it sells more, it's better lol.....
Rinse and repeat....
I only singled out Jazz because it's a field that I work in.
You're an artist?
Nah, I represent many of them though. Also a Grammy voting member.
I agree with her.
Of all the music in Africa, you're telling me Burna Boy is the the sound you want to promote? It's all intentional. Nigeria is going to be the 21st-century Jamaica.
There will always be recording artists, but artist development and labels don't exist anymore.
Indeed
And hip hop etc
ehhhh.....
in this day and age you dont even have to go through a record company....a youtube channel is free....and so is soundcloud....put your shit out yourself

No lie. Just garbage and hood shit and ratchet bullshit masquerading as music
They don't want R&B from us. They can auto tune White people into making them sound good
WE want the R&B of the 90s, but do the younger generation?
Who are some of your fav indie artists? I know brothers on here have put me on to some great artists that I never heard of.
We sell ourselves short but it has nothing to do with white people. If you sing about your pussy or dick, or gang shit, that’s a self-inflicted wound. Doesn’t matter if Jews or Cacs own the record label, that artist made a choice. Blacks don’t give a fuck what other blacks people think, that’s the bigger issue. No shame. Whites can’t feed that.
R&B could thrive as long as people purchase tickets for shows.
The Whispers are coming to my city and Imma be in the front row and I wasn't alive for 90% of the shit the did and they rarely come this way but when they do I'm there and this won't be my last,as long they come I'm showing up.

Sista Mills is spot on!
Not groups. R&B as a whole.
Also Black consumers fault
Of course, it's categorized as rap though.
they arent RnB artists -
those are all top 40 /pop acts -
hell most of the radio stations because of the industry are all top 40/pop stations that play some crossover once in a while ....
Keep that booty Steph! Make me feel good all over!
