"Ok, name some R&B songs that SHOULD be getting airplay"

that have dropped in the last 5 years or so.

Spinoff, of come on people's post regarding the lack of traditional R&B songs in mainstream rotation. A fair amount of us thought it was a qaulity issue. Those who think that it is not a quality issue, throw some links up in this post of tracks that deserved more spins on Hot 97 and wasn't getting it.

To be fair, I will mention one.

The Foreign Exchange - Something To Behold feat. Darien Brockington & Muhsinah

The Roots - How I Got Over (not quite traditional R&B but not excluding tracks with rap)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zI4D1QOLGuM


Funny thing is that though I thought each of these tracks could have blown up if gotten regular rotation on black stations I can see why programmers didn't see the vision of them being R&B singles.

and it was produced/written by Salaam Remi/Miguel, sounds just like "All I want is you" but I think I like it more.

Terrace Martin "In the sheets" should have just let Lloyd rock the verses too, beat and hook is great.
