rashaan patterson

D'Angelo - he was kind of big, but I expected him to go all the way (if it wasn't for the drugs, he may had made it there)

Lupe Fiasco - he's not r&b but he represents the real hip hop right now

Common - nope he's not R&B either but in my opinion, he still hasn't received the respect and fame he deserves

Damn I feel like u just slapped me, lol!!!

Tevin was actually billed as the "next MJ" and he was in fact in alot of ways esp during his "child stardom" days.

He didn't take the pressure of this industry though.

And I got somebody...



She had the FULL package of somebody you'd expect to blow up

1. Can sing her tail off.
2. A looker and sexy.
3. Light-skinned(She can pass the brown paper bag test and it IS a big factor, at least in the states ).

I think the nude pix hurt her career though.

TTD/Sananda
Karyn White
Solo
Remy Shand
Van Hunt

Only on the ass, baby...ONLY on the ass.

Rahsaan Patterson? No way. I can only take 10 minutes max of his nasal, whiney voice.

The only one I don't agree with is Van Hunt. His music it too "out there" for the mainstream's taste. Besides, he's not the best vocalist.

Hey has anyone mentioned Bilal yet? I think he ahould have blown up by now. He most certainly has the talent. That man has definitely moved my soul with some of his songs.

Oh u know just what I like

Mong said:

I feel the same way you do, but there are lots of people around the org that LOVE him. I can't stand him.

Van Hunt isn't a good singer, but he's like Donny Hathaway compared to Remy Shand. Now there was one motherfucker who couldn't sing. Wonder who he blew to get a record deal.

That cat has one of the best voices in R&B. Control and pitch.

Sticking with the "Quincy Jones protege" theme -- Tamia. Even though I bought and enjoyed the albums of several listed here -- Van Hunt, Fante, Shand, etc. -- I never really expected them to be Rhythm and Blues stars. They were destined to take a back seat to the Rap and Beats singers.

He sang back-up for Chaka Khan at some point.

When you sing behind Yevette Stevens, you know you's a bad mofo

Bilal and Raheem Devaughn are in the same boat to me. Their music sounded so much alike that it was scary. The only song that I could take from Bilal was the track he did with Beyonce on the Fighting Temptations soundtrack.

MuthaFunka said:

That's all a matter of opinion. I don't like him...never have. I have listened to 3 of his projects and he works my nerves after about 3 or 4 minutes. His high-pitched voice just makes my skin crawl.

daPrettyman said:

Hmm, yeah I'm going to go ahead and disagree with you on this one. Raheem and Bilal have two completely different styles. Can't really explain it but they do.
