    Idk why how and why R&B became less popular than Rap & Pop music but it needs to shift back ASAP

      @@jathanblake I agree, also there is less longevity in rap. People play the classics from the ‘90s with Tupac, Biggie, Snoop etc., but I don’t hear the ones from the 2000s or 2010s being played really.

      Because Rap/Pop is more outlandish where as R&B is more about charm/charisma....

    Cool story about sister shirley. Me her and my wife used to go to church together. We didn't have much but that didn't matter to her. She actually blessed my wife with a couple of outfits from her own closet but besides that God used her to speak into my life in ways unimaginable, I was set free from a lot of things under her singing, God bless sister shirley.

    The music bizz is sooo fickle. Either you are making hits or you are not. It's like being on a very fast treadmill. It's a brutal lifestyle and only a selected few can play the game and last for years. Only a selected few.

    • @yetundepink
      @yetundepink 5 лет назад

      Drwwli they always look for excuses. They need to realise that their time in the sunshine is brief and when it’s over, that’s it. They need to stop blaming other artists or genres of music.

    • @jasondiaz1944
      @jasondiaz1944 5 лет назад

      Im kinda young, but I think hip hop soul was starting to form during that time, and if you didn’t have a HIT song as an r&b artist then you took a hit, but she should’ve had a fan base after as we lay, maybe her album wasn’t good. So I see both points!

    • @stephaniemills_fanpage
      @stephaniemills_fanpage 2 года назад +1

      It’s not an excuse it’s what it was. Once the 90s came (which was a new decade at the time) Music started to change and it was hard for certain artist to jump on the new wave so when your music is failing to chart it doesn’t get around as it should which leads you to a downfall.
