STATE OF R&B



As I sit here jamming Jodeci's classic 1991 album Forever My Lady I seriously want to shed a tear. I know Tavis Smiley has his "State of the Black Union" that he holds annually, but for real someone needs to have a "State of R&B" conference so we can figure exactly what the hell happened to good music. We need to get to the bottom of this quick and come up with a plot to rid the industry of all these so-called R&B singers who can't even carry a tune.

The 90s were a great time for R&B. You had Whitney, Mariah, Anita, Jodeci, TLC, Brandy, Aaliyah, Boyz II Men, R. Kelly (cannot deny his impact in the 90s), and the list goes on.

JODECI - 'FOREVER MY LADY'

These guys really popularized wearing combat boots with just about any outfit back in the day.
