Nighthawk 0 Report post Posted August 17, 2003 I wouldn't really classify Prince and Michael Jackson as R & B singers (at least not exclusively) but they're one and two for sure. Isaac Hayes (his career is unfortunatley overshadowed by Shaft and South Park) James Brown Teddy Pendergrass Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perfxion 0 Report post Posted August 17, 2003 My Favorite RnB Singers/Groups.... Marvin Gaye, hear him do "What's Going On" and you know why. Ralph Tresvant of New Editon- Justin Timberlake and Jordan Knight owe their careers to this man. Jonny Gill of New Edition/LSG, hear anything "Boys II Men" for proof of his talents. Boys II Men, one of my favorite groups because of songs like "On Bending Knee" Teena Marie, "Lovergirl" and "Square Biz" as a sample of her talents. Mary J. Blige, this bitch can sing. "Whats 411" for upbeats, "No More Drama" for a slow groove Earth, Wind, and Fire, "Reasons" and "Lets Groove" for examples. Musiq, "Love" is a good example. Jackson 5, "I Want You Back" and "Shake Your Body Down to the ground" as examples how good Michael and co were. Janet Jackson, "Would you mind" as a sexy song that doesn't go tasteless. Others I love but dont feel like listing why anymore. Al Green, Luther Vandross, Gap Band, Rick James, James Brown, Aretha Franklin, Jaheim, Temptations, K-Ci, Jo Jo, Lauren Hill, Mariah Carey, R Kelly, Prince, SOS Band, Slave, Smokey Robinson, Stephanie Mills, Stevie Wonder, Temptations, Isley Brothers, Supremes, Tony Toni Tone, Rufus.

TSA09 0 Report post Posted August 17, 2003 Janet Jackson, "Would you mind" as a sexy song that doesn't go tasteless. Before I name mine, I have to say something to this. Yes "Would You Mind" is a sexy song, but the whole song is about blowjobs, sex, reaching orgasms. Now as for my list (in no order) Boys II Men - my favorite group, mostly for songs like "I'll Make Love to You" and "On Bended Knee" Janet Jackson Jackson 5 Mary J Blige Mariah Carey New Edition 112 - The song "Just A Little While" gives me goosebumps Lou Rawls - When I was little I would listen to him all the time Keith Sweat - I'll admit "Make It Last" is a great song Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perfxion 0 Report post Posted August 20, 2003 Lets see, 50 Cent and Ja Rule rapping about kill each other are SO close to groups like Floetry who sing about love and wrote the song "Butterflies" for Michael Jackson. Hell you can make a case of Usher, Jahiem, and Jagged Edge dressing urban but when they all make LOVE SONGS it kind of kills your whole point. So to sum it up, you don't know jack shit what you are talking about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You should probably stop talking about things of which you have painfully limited knowledge. I really see no difference. The R&B singers hang out with all of the gangsta rappa's and then they're in half of there videos. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AlwaysPissedOff 0 Report post Posted August 20, 2003 I'm getting really tired of this... TMD, if all you're going to do in rap/R&B threads is spout of ignorant shit that totally derails it, then just stay the fuck out of them. This is your only warning concerning this. Once more and your ass is banned. End of sermon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damaramu 0 Report post Posted August 20, 2003 I want to know how the fact that because my opinion disagrees with there's it is considered ignorant? I mean if I made a rock thread and they jumped in talking about how much it sucks I'm sure they wouldn't be told it was ignorant. Hell people do it all the time and nobody tells them it is ignorant. So I honestly want to know...how is me not liking rap ignorant? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So I honestly want to know...how is me not liking rap ignorant? Stereotyping is ignorance, plain and simple. As for everything else you said, as a fan of rap/R&B, I don't go into rock threads stereotyping white people like I've seen you do in this thread which wasn't even about rap in the first place. If you don't like it, then just stay the hell out of the threads, how fucking hard can that be? If you want to address the topic on your own terms, then start a new thread and take care of it there, if not, just shut the fuck up about it. Discussion on this matter is over.
