About R’n'B

From Wiki About:

Contemporary R&B

It’s not classic rythm-and-blues!

“By the 2000s, the cross-pollination between R&B and hip hop had increased to the point where, in most cases, the only prominent difference between a record being a hip hop record or an R&B record is whether its vocals are rapped or sung. Mainstream modern R&B has a sound more based on rhythm than hip hop soul had, and lacks the hardcore and soulful urban “grinding” feel on which hip-hop soul relied. That rhythmic element descends from new jack swing. R&B began to focus more on solo artists rather than groups as the 2000s progressed. Between 2000 and 2004, the most prominent R&B artists included Mariah Carey, Brandy, Usher, Mary J. Blige, R. Kelly and Alicia Keys.”
