Thats unfair isn't it?

Look at how the fugees were marketed, and compare them to artists now. Do you really see much of a connection between Akon, R-kelly, T-Pain with the fugees?

Are you going to blame the pioneers of punk as being responsible for blink-182 and avril lavigne?

You make it seem like every album that blends RnB is crap, which is incredibly far from reality.
