Why does /mu/ ignore so much soul, R&B, and funk music? Hip hop isn't the only form of black music.
>>
>>54199518
because they're singles-based genres and outside of /bleep/, people on /mu/ have no idea what to do with that.

>yfw probably 70% of /mu hasn't heard Songs in the Key of Life or Sign o' The Times

Too groovy, gotta have that bland indie rock feel.
>>
>>54199518
because they're dead genres

only high tier R&B albums i can think of from the '10s are Channel Orange, and Black Messiah

>>54199518
90% of modern music is black music

soul isnt singles based the albums are really consistent

Kaleidoscope Dream
Cupid Deluxe
Electric Lady or The ArchAndroid

nice!
these sick licks will get my dick licked

>>54199518
Because /mu/ jumps on whatever the current trend is. Hip hop is big now, so it is the token black music genre for these honkies.

>only high tier R&B albums i can think of

You mean what Pitchfork tells you to like? Might as well add Drake, Janelle Monae, FKA Twigs and How to Dress Well too.

Why would you want /mu/ talking about things that you like?

I've just begun to get into it. There's a chart here, what do you think about it?
>>
I dunno. But I'm more hyped for the new Ciara album this year than anything else.
>>
>>54199943
Some real crap records on that list.

>>54199768
Janelle Monae is great though, even if The Electric Lady didn't quite match The Archandroid
