What is R'n'b?
1.
In the modern world, the best evidence of the strength of the "Sex Sells" motif, and the willingness of people to conform to anything that appears to rebel against former generations' ideas and beliefs in regard to morals. Usually regardless of the lack of sense in opposing these, such as the taboo against drug abuse.
Basically, it's incoherent songs about drugs and sex. The videos will always have scantily clad women in them, to distract male viewers from the fact the song is inherently crap.
Despite the fact R'n'B generally depicts women as sex objects, it as a genre is surprisingly popular among teenage girls.
Turn on MTV. Too scared? Fine:
"Its gettin hot in here (so hot)
So take off all your clothes
(Female singer) I am gettin so hot, I wanna take my clothes off"
Imagine that repeating or being paraphrased in every new verse. That, I fear, is the current state of R'n'B.
2.
A form of "music" which grew up in the black slave population in america as rythm and blues, going by this definition you would immediately think of artists such as ella fitzgerald and louis armstrong, however this is no longer the case, R'n'B has now been taken over by young rap artists who have adopted it as a trademark for their own music which nearly always dipicts women as sex objects, or is about the act of sex itself and is generally just any black music nowadays whether it has any rhythm and blues or not. Often listened to "wide-boys" and "
Usher - how is this guy blues, never a decent bassline, the rhythm is always the same, and he wears the biggest glasses ever. therefore not R'n'B
Nelly - Who gave this guy a recording contract, he did a good tune with justin timberlake, however the rest is nothing special nd definately not rhythm and blues
