..while many saw the merger of "hip hop and r&b" as a positive sign of modern times, I knew it wouldn't be long before one gave way to the other.

yes, there's enough room for everyone, but the tastemakers have selective hearing.

almost everyone in this world wants their time to shine on the brightest stage. unfortunately, most people can't sing. hip hop came along and leveled the playing field, making that elusive dream possible for people that couldn't carry a tune.

nowadays, r&b music is treated like a Vegas review and most kids want to be trap stars. the sad part is that it has very little to do with the actual music. it's all about the lifestyle.
