I hate contemporary R&B I have always thought it sucked and I think Disco may have killed it.In the mid/late 1960's soul music became popular because of influences from the Civil Rights Movement and the time period 1965-1975 had the greatest and best R&B/soul ever made and in my opinion it went downhill after 75 with Disco and 1980's R&B had a lesser feeling compared to what was released in the early 1970s like Marvin G,aye "Whats going on" when was the last time I heard a R&B song like that.I dont think we will ever hear REAL R&B again because for the last 25 years it has sucked and very soulless.Alot of rappers have sampled old school 70's soul songs.
