Where has the groove gone from the mainstream charts. RnB has morphed into light-weight pop. Rap is no longer Hip-Hop. Where has the groove gone from the rhymes and the feel gone from this generation's rnb?
This electro-pop-rap mash-up leaves me cold. Are they all chasing a buck cause that's the style of music that will get most sales. Yes I'm talking to you Beyonce, Kayne West, Dizzee. What is their sound.....? Just all sounds the same to me, same production ideas, synths and rhythms.
Yeah you could say any genre has similarities, but these artists appear to have become this new kinda genre called "will get me into the top 40" in some kind of calculated money move. And they're big enough to do what they damn well please, so we could be getting something fresh, instead we get rihanna, lady gaga lite in everybody's tunes. Where's the funk?
You know Beyonce ain't putting on those records to chill out to at home or to get things moving at a jam at her house, I just know her heart lies in RnB and music that grooves.
Stop selling out and making bad records, someone's gotta represent!

People make bad records because for them it's about making money, not good music. Thank God there are still artists out there with a different motivation.
