name some good modern RnB songs...

[milesy]

what was that ashanti one (was it even ashanti? ) not too long ago one that had a killer bad bass line?

the one that goes "ooooooooooh!!! i just wanna get next to you! oohhhhhhh!! i just can't leave you alone!!"?

dunno what it's called. ashanti has a very wobbly head and a stupid look on her face.

 

[Flashman]

The Cookbook is more rnb than hip hop imho and poorer for it.

ooo ooh and *edited" to add Sunshine Anderson (not sure I got the name right) - Heard it All Before. I LOVE that tune

Cheers, won't bother with that Missy one then. That Sunshine Anderson one sounds like it's been nicked off the Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill.

RnB just seems too samey to my ears, the odd track is okay like.

 

[Rollem]

the one that goes "ooooooooooh!!! i just wanna get next to you! oohhhhhhh!! i just can't leave you alone!!"?

yes. that one

dunno what it's called.

rubbish

i dont like her voice though

 

[milesy]

there's a cristina milian one i love (and not just for the video, wife!! ) but i got the album and it was mostly shit. surprisingly

 

[Tank Girl]

[milesy]

[Rollem]

excpt for the bit about christopher williams. he was boss

 

[milesy]

i should have said "not because" of the video. one badly turned phrase and my fate is sealed

 

[milesy]

bananaman?

 

[Tank Girl]

no tea for me tonight

you can have tea if you bring home a green pepper and some mushrooms.

thank you

 

[Rollem]

no

 

[pootle]

Cheers, won't bother with that Missy one then.

Deffo don't bother. Missy has been off the boil for a bit now, and the Cookbook is just appalling, mostly I reckon because Timbaland only produces something like 2 tracks on the album, cos Missy wanted to produce them herself, and let her mates have a go.

It's beyond me why you'd want to ditch Timbaland as your producer though.

Snoop Dogg/Justin Timberlake - 'Signs'

wicked song

i bought the snoop album with that on but chucked it in the bin in a fit of righteous indignation after one listen cos of all the usual "smackin' your ho" shit... should have burnt the good tarcks off of it first, me so knobby

 

[Rollem]

Roots Manuva - 'Witness'

RnB?!? you sure?

keep trying with eric guys...he's gotta be here somewhere ...

 

[Tank Girl]

not this one?

 

[electrogirl]

thats a bit ancient by all accounts aint it?

i likes it though...or at least i did, "back in the day"


what was that ashanti one (was it even ashanti? ) not too long ago one that had a killer bad bass line?

Ancient? I guess so. Depends what you mean by modern though.

That Ashanti song was Only U.

Is it wrong to like that JoJo song? She was only about 4.

Also nominate

Frontin- Neptunes
My Love Is Like Wo- Mya (I like the title to that more than anything)

Christopher Willams, now that man had a great voice, 'All I see' was a great song (produced by Devante - who you would obviously know was involved with Jodeci). I'm not sure about the general direction of the thread, the original idea appeared to be concerned with identifying 'r'n'b' that was outside of the obvious commercial stuff that tends to enter the charts. But how do you then distinguish between this and soul, because the fact is there are some fantastic black artists and black music being made, you just have to make the effort and look and listen.

Just out of interest - is it Eric Benet you are thinking of?

That's defo hip hop

As is The Next Episode, Signs, most of Outkast and all sorts of other stuff mentioned here. This thread has gone fucking half-cut

Any body hear Jill Scott, now that sistah can tell it like it is.
