R&B/SLOWJAMS IS FOR PUSSIES
- Thread starter Fistacuffs

I'm white, I listen to rap...shit, I'm a rapper. HOWEVER, I don't listen to MUCH rap, I only like a select few artists in that genre. I bump the shit out of old R&B and some new shit as well. Marvin Gaye, Barry White, Sam Cooke, The 4 Tops, The Temptations, just to name a FEW of the MANY artists I listen to. I also get OLD with my shit, bumpin Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Tony Bennett, Billie Holiday, Jackie Wilson, Ritchie Valens....
To the cat that made this thread, where do you think rap music comes from? As a rapper, I'm only inspired by 2Pac, Dr. Dre, Snoop and Outkast (because they aren't afraid to be different). Other than that, I, like MOST rappers out there (especially the successful ones), get my inspiration from classic music, such as funk, R&B, Old school rock...
Tadou, I can get my fuck on with our without R&B Music...but I do bump that shit when I'm with somebody special in my life because it sets the correct mood for a proper night. If you don't know about pleasing a woman with food, wine, strawberries, and some Barry White, you don't know much about the game playboy. It's not about "not being able to get ass without it", it's about pleasing your woman in all aspects. When you have a WOMAN, they like to be romanced and they like it when their man sets the mood...and that's one of the things that DEFINATELY sets the mood.

Tadou...I wasn't talking about Usher and the new shit, I'm talkin about R&B, the real stuff. You think, the majority of rappers who have actually made it, don't listen to it? I could care less if Underground cats listen to it or not, they are still underground and obviously not willing to expand horizons, cause if they were they would no longer be underground, plain and simple. MOST of the rappers, if not all of the rappers, in the mainstream from the 90's to now, listen to old school R&B. It's not new, but it's R&B nonetheless, and this thread is about R&B in general.
I hate to break this news to you Tadou, but Rap/Hip-Hop is influenced by R&B, the shit we're talkin about. Sam Cooke, Marvin Gaye, Barry White, Gladys Knight, Luther Vandross, etc...there's some rock influence, there's even some disco influence. If you were a true fan of this genre, you would know all of that. Rap/Hip-Hop, really, is not its own form of music...it's a "borrowed form" if you will, based on a variety of music. I know this because of all the samples and interpolations that are used by hip hop artists to this very day, it's not hard to put 2 and 2 together. Who do rappers say influnce them? 9 times out of 10 it's not another rap artist.
So, with all of that said, yes, Rap is R&B influenced, NOT the other way around.

Hip hop music was created from the break beat... these break beats came from old funk, soul, jazz and R&B records. I wouldn't say its a "loose, disorganized compilation of random forms of music" but I would say it is a tight, organized mix of influences from many types of music... and it is constantly growing and expanding.
Fuck you fistacuffs. I love listening to R&B when I'm cruisin to the gay bar in my purple Neon.
R&B got the SLAPS...listen to the hard ass songs:
"OOh Girl You So Fine You Make Me Wanna Dance"
"Oh No Why You Leave Me"
"Yeah Suga I spend my whole Paycheck on You" f. Fabolous
"I Dance Like a Mark"
Anytime I hear R&B it makes me wanna suck my boyfriend's asshole even harder. Yall should listen to R&B if you wanna be a real man like me.
P.S. I love how creative R&B is too. I like how every song is the same and how everyone uses drumkits from Korg with a piano chord playing once or twice every 4 bars.
