R & B sucks

That terrible Nelly song is number four. Thank God I only listen to my CDs, talk radio and just about anything but the Top 40 stations. The only non-hip hop/rap/"R&B" song on there is Kelly Clarkson. The shitty thing is that rap and hip-hop used not come close to topping the charts, in the eighties, when it was really good! The ninties it was great as well, but it didn't take up half of the spots on the charts then (half of the songs could be loosely considered "R&B"). Figures now that it sucks it dominates the radio. Thank you, Clear Channel! | |

Thank you, Clear Channel! I agree with your comment that hip hop only charted in the 1980s if it was really great. I disagree with your comment on hip hop still being great in the 1990s but, of course, we both have our own tastes. I agree with you one thousand percent that this is the fault of Clear Channel. Fuck Clear Channel! Andy is a four letter word. | |

You know what,I was just gonna start about a thread about all these stupid collaborations! It's getting outta hand.Why does EVERY R&B and hip-hop song these days have to feature other "guest artists"?? Can't anybody do a freakin' song on their own anymore? And the songs on that list are atrocious...
***"1,2 Step" by Ciara featuring Missy---First of all,Ciara's vocals are paper-thin.And Missy's rap is blatantly stolen from Teena Marie's 1981 hit "Square Biz".The song is utter crap. ***"Wonderful" by Ja Rule featuring R.Kelly and Ashanti---probably the worst song being played on the radio right now.How many times is Ashanti gonna appear on a Ja Rule song (and vice versa)? And do we REALLY need to hear R.Kelly on every other hip-hop or R&B song?? Sheesh! ***"My Boo" by Usher and Alicia Keyes---yet another boring,predictable R&B song.We expect this type of crap from Usher,but it's sad to see Alicia (who actually has talent) stoop to his level. bring back the 70s! | |

Consider yourself lucky Trust me, I DO. Yeah, it's surprising too. I only have a radio in my car- no tape player, no CD player. So, I sued to know ALL of this crap. But I got so sick of top 40 that I now will listen to oldies or some schmaltz rather than even venture on to the top 40/hot rNb stations here. | |

I hear ya.It's downright depressing to listen to the radio these days,so I just avoid it at all costs. | |

All of these songs are such shit and I just have to sit back and wonder who in the hell is buying this shit and allowing it to sore to #1 positions? The music industry is in a sad state. Give me Bob Dylan any old day! | |

I've heard four of the tracks thanks to music video. I will give "Drop It Like It's Hot" a little credit for sounding like a different kind of crap as opposed to the same kind of crap.
And for those that haven't heard any of the above tracks, Trick Daddy's "Let's Go" samples Ozzy's "Crazy Train". I'll let your imagination take it from there. | |

Let's all drink the Kool Aid and get with the program! No way Jose. Luckily i've only heard one of these tunes completely (Drop It...they should) and one partially (My Boo... a more appropriate title might have been My Doo.)

I liked Over an Over only because I've been crushing Tim McGraw since '98 and I've never heard Breakaway but all the other songs are definite poo. [Edited 12/3/04 10:46am] Been gone for a minute, now I'm back with the jump off | |

What do you expect?
I mean, think about how the people who were in our peer group in the 80's felt. I can see it now . . . Bananarama? Michael Jackson's sister? O.M.D.? Club Nouveau? Wham? These are the acts that are charting? Madonna's a tramp, and Prince is a queer Hendrix/Sly Stone ripoff with an ego problem. Dylan makes Springsteen look like Frankie Valli? What happened to the music that really mattered? This has always gone on. At least 2 of these songs will be considered "classics" in 20 years by today's kids. And they will turn around and dis whatever is charting in 2024. My point is, the pop music audience is an 18-25 audience. (There is a sizeable chunk of kids and young adults who shun top-40 and get into indie bands, but most indie bands don't have national followings.) Fact of the matter is, suburban teens drive the market. More discerning listeners have different tastes and rarely does this buying group coalesce around one quality artist so as to get them on the charts. At least that's how I see it. The flip side is, some of these acts will become the Carl Douglases and C+C Music Factories of the future. [Edited 12/3/04 14:29pm] Good night, sweet Prince | 7 June 1958 - 21 April 2016
