Inspired by the threads made by Menace and Kushklassic I had to make a thread dedicated to 90's r & b. IMHO this was the last era real r & b was made. I'm not gonna complain about the state of r & b. Those type of threads been done to death. If this thread can spark some discussion it's cool but I don't want old n*ggas complaining and not offering solutions. I'm posting vids from the era I was coming of age. Feel free to add on.

That thread about which was the best 90's r & b group made me dust of the album and pop it in.

Seen them n*ggas live, before and after they got cracked out. A shame what they did to themselves, man.

I remember back then I was like "who is this wack broad that keeps getting on tracks spitting wack verses?". Still a dope cut nonetheless..

These threads make me sad. I remember back then, there used to be R & B kid groups that sing innocent songs to kids. Not anymore.

The 90s was the last decade of good R&B. Don't get me wrong, there were good R&B acts to come out after the 90s and some good R&B music. It's just that the 90s was the last decade where good was the norm. Now R&B is a lot like Hip Hop. Mostly packaged garbage with a few diamonds scattered amongst the coal.

It's crazy because you can pretty much type 90s R&B into a search engine, pick random songs, and still be assured to get something good. -

Remember when r & b cuts looked like n*ggas had fun without them trying to flex like they were rappers.
@Wild Self, you mean like this one?

Donell was one of my favorite artists back then. Where I wanna be is a personal classic. I was spinning that album last week and it was still good to me.

What man hasn't felt like this at a certain point? This sh*t was relatable. Not some bullsh*t about trickin' and I take your chick.

This is a collaboration between a rapper and an r & b group. Not that generic garbage you hear now where you can't distinguish a rapper between a r & b n*gga. -

lol Used to have a crush on the light skinned chick. We were about the same age. The darkskin girl was doing most of the singing though.

That b*tch that was rapping almost f*cked this classic track up.

Ma$e threw a jab at Jigga on this track, but like one line (All we hear is platinum that, platinum this etc). Jigga responded on that Ride or die and dedicated half a song to Ma$e.
