ski could legitimately drop aoty if he wanted 2, he’s that talented

poor guy

this video means the world 2 me

@saveme

wus gooood

We need one round dedicated to underrated gems. I know you have plenty of them and so do I. That's why I initially wanted it to be 30 rounds and to start an hour earlier.

how bout we do

1 hip hop round
mariah vz aaliyah
& the gem round, my choice would obviously be

what do u think u would use

So far I have it written down as 3 Rap/R&B rounds. Mimi and Aaliyah and one gem. Don't post your song. That's a personal classic for me too lol I discovered it through a random stream

idk if i wanna use 3 rap songs tho

so if u use 1 do i have 2?

& u already knew i would use that lol, not sure if it’s considered a “gem” tho

this gonna sound crazy as f*** but

how would u feel if i used this

You know what? F*** it. We can include Rap/R&B songs whenever. You don't have to match it whenever I post one. If you do I'll post one too. How is not a gem though? Nobody knows it except for us and a few canandians. I wouldn't suggest posting John Mayer but you can if you want I guess. It's soulful but that doesn't make it R&B.

this is teetering on the line between blues & pop 2 me

John Mayer's first 3 albums are classics. He's a fusion of Blues, Rock & Soul.

u can use rap songs but i’m gonna keep it r&b, there’s no way i can add more songs 2 my list it’s already insanely bloated as is

i wouldn’t use it i was jus curious as 2 what u thought about it

if slow dancing isn’t r&b then this isn’t either, im not tryna argue i jus like having these lil debates about genres lol it helps me contextualize my thoughts about certain aspects of music & how it’s identified

You're the one who brought it up to begin with. You're just throwing stuff out there. I'll keep it mostly R&B but I'll throw a few Rap & R&B songs here and there. It's good to switch up the tempo. That's Soul music and can be included in. If you were to play any John Legend song it should be this because of how beloved it's always been.

this is another gem but i have no f***ing clue what genre i’d consider this

so soul music = r&b but john mayer wouldn’t count

im jus tryna make it make sense is all, im not jus throwin s*** out there

u don’t fw jason mraz???

imagine not appreciating this classic

?uest was lacing him

I don't even remember you complicating the genre thing last time. This gets in the way every time and after the Pop battle yesterday it's best to just avoid songs you have to question. Last time you played nothing but R&B songs. There was nothing teetering the fence of R&B and Pop.

u having a bad day bro?

it’s coo if u are, we all do but u missing the entire point of this conversation

why the hell would i ever play any jason mraz or john mayer in an r&b battle

i jus enjoy talking about music, it has absolutely nothing 2 do with me wanting 2 use any of these songs

Nah, everything is good bro.

I didn't expect you to say that. You had me worried for a second. I didn't want there to be a Mary J. Blige vs. Jason Mraz round. :​

lmaooooooooooooo

You seriously had me worried. I thought Taio Cruz and Jason Derulo were next up.

i am using this tho & this isn’t r&b

so i’m tryna iron out a few things beforehand, the genres started meaning less & less in the 00’s & i wanna make sure i keep with the spirit of r&b u feel me

sean kingston is on my list
