White folks can make R&B. Black people can make music that isn't R&B. Pop isn't so much a genre as it is a designation. Pop Music = Popular Music and that changes over time. There is Pop Rap, POp R&B and Pock Rock etc. if a record sounds like R&B, it's R&B. **********"Everyone has a plan until you punch them in the face. Then they don't have a plan anymore."
