The songwriting alone on that joint >>> everything, not to even mention how good it sounds.

The sonic aesthetic of Bobby V's debut is very nice tho.

TBH the fact that you're even a mod here fits squarely within Jag's narrative of OK-sanctioned aggression, bullying, and toxicity. *shrug*

I will say the Mista album is one of my favorite from the 90s so I know he has the voice....but a whole album?! the whole decade?!

We had Dwele, Bilal, Usher, Chris Brown, that man from Chicago we ignore now...and those are just the first five I thought of

and the 2nd best IMO is Soulstar but I guess you could consider that more Neo Soulish than R&B

I really am more of an R&B cat over Neo-Soul.

I wish there would be a resurgence of R&B groups, like Jodeci, SWV,
112, LeVert, En Vogue and such. there was a group called Hamilton Park that had a song written by Eric Roberson some years ago and I was hoping they would blow up so labels would be forced to invest in groups again ... but they broke up

Nobody wants to be in a group where they aren’t the Michael.

And folks are scared to be in a group, think they are the Michael, and then mess around and find out they’re really the Ralph.

Neosoul: Gimme Mama’s Gunn as the best of those in the 00s. If not, that first Jill was aggressively jamming too.

Because the Ralph who comes to mind for me WAS the Michael of his group (New Edition).

like on Slow Down, Tell Me, Give Me A Chance etc? omg

I remember spending countless hours on FL trying to copy their programming

with my lil subpar ass beats haha


That album was like my man for a hot minute

I wanna maaake looooooooove (c)


the strings/harp on some tracks too. fire.

I used to play around on FL around that time and “Slow Down” was THE beat that I wish I could make back then.

Tell Me was a banger too.

I hit play on this a few songs ago on the strength of this post. Early on, it sounds like dude smooth made a Jodeci tribute album. Like Diary of a Mad Band era music-wise. With that, I’m having the time of my life with this album. Good looking out! Bobby has always made singles I like. And I thought he had killer remixes too. Like that Slow Down remix..I wore that thing out back then.

I only like the intro, Slow Down, and Tell Me.

Over Badu’s Mama’s Gun?

Dangleo’s Vodoo?

And Dwele?

look above you.

Because only like 3 replies mentioned other albums… and you didn't read reply 16

And Voodoo is obviously gonna be a tough one to argue against… especially here...

Having to think hard to even come up with many 00’s R&B albums I was really into though.

Tweet’s album was strong.

J.E. Heartbreak was strong. I think that was 2000.

Always thought Boyz II Men’s Full Circle album was criminally slept on.

Voodoo has to be #1 though.

Don't forget Who is Jill Scott, and Musiq Soulchild.


That's my top 5

Voodoo
Mama's Gun
Who is Jill Scott
Musiq Soulchild
Some Kinda - Dwele

>Don't forget Who is Jill Scott

with the exception of Voodoo. but I don't consider any of that R&B, more Neo Soul

What's the difference? At most Neo-Soul is a sub genre of R&B. If the guy whose name I forget hadn't of coined the term for marketing purposes, would anybody be saying 'Who is Jill Scott' or 'Mama's Gun' weren't R&B albums?

there is no genre called neo soul or award.

they all get nominated for RnB

This is what badu and maxwell were talking about.....the nonsense title neo soul or nu soul

It very much is in maybe the most classic sense possible lol. Same for anything Maxwell, Jill Scott, and Musiq have ever made. Musiq even remakes "Settle For My Love"... I mean... what are we even talking about here? Lmao. So many of Musiq's songs are basically 80s Stevie songs without the range. Whereareyougoing, and 143 come to mind, but the influence is strong throughout his career.
I guess my question is: What qualifies something as "Neo-Soul" to you as opposed to R&B?
