I remember posting that video on here a while back and only a few people were checking for it.

Daley is a bad ass dude. There is no denying that. I have more respect for a lot of overseas cats who do R&B because a lot fo them do it because they love it and aren't trying to capitalize on it off the back of black culture.

How exactly is Tank "part of the problem?" He's an above average vocalist, decent songwriter, solid live performer and doesn't have a tacky or gaudy image. He generally doesn't make sex-you-up, twerking, up-in-the-club, bragging/boasting type of music. His sound is generally laid back, ballad-y, relationship-themed, contemporary R&B that has been the standard for decades.

I swear this forum is filled with a bunch of a music snobs who think that if an artist doesn't make weird/instrumental/abstract/funk-laced/to-the-left-of-everything type music that they are unworthy of praise or credit.

Tank's critiques of the current music state are more than valid and he is *not* part of the problem.

saw both daley and mayer hawthorne live in dc...they both gave excellent shows. they are both coming back in march and i will be going again. the best r&b shows i go to are usually the "oldie" acts tour, which is coming up in april with the whispers, stylistics howard hewitt and the dramatics
