What I loathe about most R&B is it's insincerity and lazy lyrics. jesus if you are gonna sing about shagging shagging and yet more shagging then at least sound like you mean it....I am sick to death of hearing lick you up and down lyrics....for me when swing beat came out that was when things started to go downhill....so many people I knew at that point turned away from hip hop and jumped into all that 'smoothed out r&b on a pop tip'or however the fuck bell biv devoe described their music. It's not that I never want to listen to any r&b I just prefer it in very small doses. I feel that the world is drowning in champaigne lyrics it needs to stop!

The problem I have is that at least then you'd hear public enemy alongside heavy d in a club....now when i go to a club I'm getting killed with corny played out R&B. I am so glad that i was a teenager in the 80's when there was VARIETY!!!
