      @novacorps2468 3 ปีที่แล้ว +47

      Incorrect. Hip-Hop and R&B were fusing as early as the late 80s with New Jack Swing. Mary J Blige came way before Groove Theory, and she came out singing on Hip-Hop beats. So don't blame it on Hip-Hop.

      Strongly disagree hip hop and R&B are like peanut butter and jelly...we saw it in the 80s, 90s & early 00s. For me my own personal opinion is technology killed R&B....no one knows how to use musical instruments anymore or write meaningful lyrics...it’s a gag...the record labels don’t want to put money into creating meaningful artists...they want social media influencers who happen to rap or sing🤷🏽‍♂️

      I heard the groove theory album and was glad I didn't purchase it. Tell Me was a bop but everything else on the album was boring 90s schlock. Bryson was an average producer at best, and Amel is what made it go. Her solo album, on the other hand is really good. I remember going to see her at BB Kings in NYC before the closed it down. her voice is nuts.

    Lmaoooo as a producer I felt that last statement. In a perfect world he would make an r&b album that fans stream and buy and he'd be able to license on TV/Film . Allowing him to pay his bills and make more beautiful music for the fans . Unfortunately that's not the case. There's only a few top R&b money makers and alot of them jump into the rap and pop genre for big checks .

    It’s obvious they had a relationship. Synergy was too perfect. One of them ended it and ruined the group and too many hard feelings to go back. Tell me was the hit but good to me, ride, you’re not the 1 etc those spoke to me. Classic album

      Amel’s oldest daughter is almost 27 years old. So, the math would show that she’s been with her husband for at least 28 years. Longer than when Groove Theory put out their album. I don’t believe she and Bryce had a relationship. I wouldn’t be surprised if either of them had feelings for each other and it was just a wrong time situation, though.

    He's right. R&B is dead. Yes I'm a 90's head, Yes I'm still lost in the 80's & miss the 70's, and Yes, there will never be anything like it. The only time u can catch good R&B anymore has to be on a "Quiet Storm" or "Sweat Hotel" segment...(if) your city even has it on your radio station line up. & even then they're all golden oldies and/or R&B classics. 🤷🏽‍♀️. This new music all sounds the same. They're using the same (16 beat) & talk rapping, & mumble rapping, etc. Idk,its just dead like he said. Jazz stations barrrrrely exist now. You have to give donations to keep them alive. It just sucks.
