2000s is much better. They're more pop infused.

90s R&B was an era. Nostalgic and quality music.

2003

 

 

Music is cyclical in the early 2000s everybody hated that sound now it's back on everyone's minds

 

 

 

 

 

90's R&B is forever untouched! 

"Freak Like Me" is too my song

 

 

i like these one too

It's top tier

Des'ree - You Gotta Be

702 - Where My Girls At?

Monica - Angel of Mine

Aaliyah - If Your Girl Only Knew

Omg Heartbreak Hotel one of smoothest gems ever - just 3 amazing vocalists shining together I love Whitney for that 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh man, I love 90s RnB. But it's easy to say that when RnB was dominating the charts so it's easy to access/be exposed to. These days, you really have to actively seek it out if you don't consume the radio anymore. But I love listening to suggested tracks because you can sometimes find some really good modern RnB gems. 

This is early 2000's but can we appreciate this live performance of Spoiled from Joss Stone on the Jay Leno show?

I agree.

Monica, Mya, Aaliyah, Blaque, 702, etc… some really really talented vocalists back then. Miss ‘em tbh.

Female r&b ruled the decade.

 

I need to make a playlist with:

 

Brandy - Never Say Never

Aaliyah - One in a Million

Tamia - So Into You

Mariah - Breakdown

Janet - Empty

Deborah Cox - Nobody's Supposed to Be Here

Faith Evans - Soon as I Get Home

TLC - Creep

SWV - Weak

Kelis - Suspended

Lauryn Hill - Ex-Factor

Mary J. Blige - Sweet Thing

Patti - The Right Kind of Lover

Toni Braxton - You're Making Me High

Xscape - Who Can I Run To

Monica - Before You Walk Out My Life

702 - Get It Together

 

 

 

90's  R&B was much better than 2000's  R&B.it was more melodic and did not have all the auto tune.

Can listen to No Ordinary Love for a hour on repeat and not get sick of it

I miss the era of slow R&B jams. The smoothness of the vocals, the harmonies, the romanticism, the lyrics, the flow... it was so perfect. 

That’s because the people were better, kinder, prettier, weren’t stuck on cellular devices all day, had better taste in music, not as lazy, etc.

Excellence and nostalgia 

90s were a great era for music in general

classic r&b is the creme de la creme!

90s R&B is some of the best music ever. Everyone was serving classics back then

 

CLASSICS

 

because r&b IS the superior genre.
