The other day Tyrese went into a lightweight rant on twitter about singers who also rap. He didn’t mention any names and stated that he wasn’t talking to anyone specifically but he could not have been talking about anyone other than Trey Songz..
I heard a song Songz made “when he got bored” and he was rapping.. I thought he could have kept that.. I tweeted about it and one of my followers responded telling me that Trey was originally a rapper to begin with before he switched to R&B. I don’t know how true that is. And I really don’t care. But I certainly wasn’t feeling the song.
While Trey made “Neighbors Know My Name” and it wasn’t a deep song, but is was sung well and did have some type of emotional effect over me.. Or maybe it was the guy that introduced me to the song who had the effect on me.. LOL , But overall it was a good song.. Trey should stick to making songz like that. Songs that people actually remember years later.. I don’t remember one line from his rap song that I listened to.

The other day I posted an old school R&B song to my facebook page and asked what happened to the charming men who used to sing like this? At this point in my life I still love the Temptations, especially “Ain’t 2 Proud 2 Bed”. I love the way they sung and seranaded women. I asked what happened to R&B. I think the infiltration of rap artists into the R&B scene is what happened to R&B. You have Neyo who is a great song writer and a decent singer on Plies “Bust It Baby”.. Now I’m not saying Bust It Baby is not a good song, it is a good song. but it’s not a nice song, that gives me feelings of love and romance.. Then again, I’m not a hood rat, so….
The lack of R&B’s incapacity to charm the women these days is why so many of us are still in love with Jodeci.
The Temptations – Ain’t Too Proud To Beg
This is the old Tyrese – SWEET LADY
This is the New Tyrese – STAY
Jodeci – STAY
So Tyrese is clearly backing his rant up. And you must admit that the man has a point. At least he tries to make good music for women.
Do you feel that the infiltration of rappers into R&B is partially responsible for the lackadaisical state of R&B?

GIMMICKY! I used to HATE Gay Songz, but now that he’s gotten his weight up (and I was able to take him in in person at BET Honors last year), he’s kinda sorta gotta a little swag. KINDA … SORTA.
It’ll never be what it used to be early 90′s era but trey songz the only one doing hits
R Kelly my all time favorite but fuxk that trapped in the closet bullshit an additional 30 chapters? Really? Never be the same. Don’t even get me started on where hip hop is going
Trey is kinda alright… but 90s R&B to me was the peak highest of good music todays music fell way below sea level
The Question Is ~ Is Rap On Its Way OUT…
For one..vocal talent isn’t as soulful as it use to be. Too many throat and nasal singers. Also…songs of R&B aren’t as deep. Nowadays, you can hear a rapper talking about breaking a female’s back out, or a singer singing about breaking a female’s back out. There is no separation between the two now…which makes it easier for rappers to sing now..lol
Trey is doing his part! Tyrese has a right to his opinion too! I like them both!
Yes @prima rap went out just like that gay ass soulja boy n in superman cape… an hopefully that plastic barbie melts away to
An dont get me started on auto tune either..
R&B has been lacking substance since the
Mid 80′s!
it will never be like it was back in the seventy’s
Because you have rappers who want to be porn stars and singers with the auto tunes. You have singers who want to be strippers with the help of auto tunes and plastic surgery. And you have reality tv people who are porn stars trying to be rappers, singers, and strippers with the help of auto tunes. Finally you have the consumers who purchase the garbage. They are selling us chitlins and trying to call it steak lol. You see everyone is happy execpt those of us who grew up listening to quality music. Marvin, Luther, Stephanie (Mills), Aretha and others would not make it in todays industry because marketing is what counts not quality of the product.
T Pain helped water down R& B with that auto tune BS… then some artists are lacking creativity, its like everyone is singing about the same thing… only a few singers are trying to keep the genre afloat
Auto tune is mostly used by the rappers. But it just speaks volumes to people’s disappointment with R&B by listening to all these rappers with auto tune. Now i can deal with T-Pain rapping with auto tune, but everyone else…naw. Its a problem when you can’t tell if someone is a R&B singer or a Rapper.
hey guys, what about NEYO he is basicaly the only true R&B artists out today. loving that tune “so sick”.
Why he hating?? Damn can’t we all just be happy for those who are successful?? and step yo game up!!
Music iis the way it is now because people acctually buy this garbage! if theses wak as singers and rappers werent making any cash off that bs they put out it would cease!
First tyrese won’t date blk women now he dissn trey Songz cuz he’s sexier…
N didn’t tyrese rap at one point?
Because you shallow ass women have let these sex baffoons treat you like sluts, making it rain on you, playing you like prostitutes, and you’ve excepted this as “music”. As long as he is “fine” he can sing,”Your face is so lovely, but even more with these nuts on it”; and you except this as music or recognition. Y’ALL let them get away with treating you like a slut, and “every” song out displays this ideology, but y’all suck it right on up and concieve it for what it is. It’s sickening. Tyrese shouldn’t talk for the simple fact he’s made some BS music too. Gay Songz isn’t a rapper, neither is Chris Brown; they aint R@B either. They are what I consider “John’s”, as far as they sing to strippers and prostitutes. Sex is cool but most of y’all put your life on the line for it, and you allow these artist to treat you as such.
They songz straight .. I just can’t get into this R&B today .. I like tyrese older music… I’m still a huge fan of 90′s music… That’s all listen to really ..jodeci h-town silk etc .
I meant trey ^
Well Damn. Tell em why you mad son darwin moore
LMAO, I’m just saying.
LMAO, I’m just saying.
This new age stuff i don’t consider music, def not RnB. Its poppy-nonsense and its the teens who are buying this crap cuz they don’t know any better. Lets go back to the 90′s shall we, when REAL singers who had REAL talent could and did sing. We’re talking about Luther, Marvin, Freddie J, etc. These so called rappers/singers could NEVER hold up a candle next to any of those artists. As for T-pain (n the butt) who uses the auto tune like he invented it, he’s very annoying. Roger Troutman from Zapp was the 1st person to use that on ‘Computer Love’ and no one will ever take that away.

I blame the state of hip hop and r&b on Lil Wayne. Once this ninja started making enough money to put out artists, mu’fuckas didn’t try no more. You don’t have to try to get record sales anymore. As long as you got a good producer, and a great beat it don’t maztter what you say. I want some substance back in our music, but it won’t happen as long as these 90′s babies keep buying Wacka Flocka, Gucci Mane and V NASTY.
