For mid he really be in yalls minds all day

Big steppers is that outside music, whens the last time u heard someone bump ye

i luv him too

the new ye snippets take place outside

Bring love songs back

Mfs think being positive about love is “corny” now that’s why it died off.

I think the toxic s*** a lot of artists trying do today is cornier.

real

playing into gender wars and furthering division between sexes because you think it makes you look like a bad b**** or player/toxic

Genuinely think it’s just a phase in music the same way Grudge was or Glam Rock.

Granted, there’s always going to be music written about toxic relationships, but not to extent it has been the last 3-4 years.

the future memes in 2016-2017 are to blame

It’s why older R&B is timeless for me. They could be nasty without being vulgar. Could be super over the top in love it didn’t have that stigma attached either bc it was self aware or because it lacked self awareness idk

My thoughts as I listen to the Isley Brothers rn

partially to blame for issues in the culture at large if we being real

future doesn't have that influence people only know him as the old 50 year old guy who pretends to hate women

@paradisevalley great thread idea

His damage is on the minds of kids growing up idc what anyone says.

Not like he brainwashing people but to say there’s no correlation between the glorification of the lifestyle he talks about (and semi doesn’t live) and how people view things/ act is dumb imo

Continuum relisten when

I was just relistening to Love by Keisha Cole the other day

This album has such a negative impact worlwide

kids dont spin future

R&B lost when they started tryna be semi rappers and hop on weird trap adjacent production

I just think its a reflect of society tbh

You see niggas like andre tate becoming famous and people starting to "follow" him

Dont think its exclusive to hip hop

Lowkey they are tbh

His numbers still huge even after almost 2 years of having dropped a song (50 million listeners on spotify for example)

Nah it’s definitely not an exclusive thing to one particular genre, but it definitely has affected the content of R&B more than just about any other genre. Hip-Hop always had an edge to it, so toxicity being apart of the equation isn’t really that much different from how it’s always been. R&B on the other hand definitely had a shift.

can't fool me 95% of those streams are you
