last time I checked, John Legend and Dangelo are doing find not cursing every five seconds. Black peole dont have to be ratchet. its simple.


Hip Hop and R&B had a one night stand that they have been trying to turn into a rleationship for the last 30 yrs. Hip hop's infuence is all over todays R&B. as much as hip hop is an artform and has talented people, its mainstream talent has been watered down by people seeing it as a "hustle" instead of something I am good at, and want to share with the world.
R&B is the same now, even to the point that the writing mimics HIP HOP, albums comes out more frequently with less of an effort, and yes, there are curses because no one is brave enough to take chances. If u were told that spend the next ten years lead your 7 albums with a single about fuckin in the club, dancing in the club, or getting drunk in the club would get you more money thant selling yourself as socially aware Marvin Gaye, what would you do?
