What we R&B in the 21st Century really is exactly the same Hip-Hop - the only difference is that in what is considered R&B, the vocals are sung and not rapped. Many artists deemed to be R&B are also considered Hip-Hop. The same producers who produce Hip-Hop produce R&B. So to be safe I suppose we should just call things R&B/Hip-Hop.
Prominent R&B artists include: Usher, Beyoncé, Ne-Yo, Mary J. Blige, etc.

Prominent producers include: The Neptunes, Timbabland, Kanye West, etc.

Stands for Rhythm and Blues, which really derived from Jazz music. Today's Contemporary so-called R&B consists of some artists like Alicia Sneeze (Keys) and R. Smelly (Kelly)who do nothing to help (esp. R. Kelly) and ruin your day with alienating love songs.
"Man! Can't they think of anything else instead of this cliche boy meets girl stuff? I mean, not everyone can date easily!
"Man, I don't know!

R&B An Obnoxious form of crap that should not be played on the radio. R&B artists believe that they have the ability to sing... sadly they are very wrong!
Missy Elliot, Snoop Dog, 50 cent... and other R&B 'singers' need I say more.

Um... heavy metal fans are not "stupidest" (which isn't even a word). My husband listens to heavy metal (and not the so called "heavy metal" you hear on the radio like Metallica (new stuff). My husband is extremly smart. He graduated with honors in H.S. And he could beat you in any kind of a test, judging by the way you type. Don't judge people by the music they listen to, that is something a stupid person does. It doesn't matter if they listen to R&B or heavy metal, the type of music someone happens to listen to has nothing to do with there intelligence.
blah blah blah..... blah.....Blah blah blah.... I dont have an example I just wanted to correct the person who doesn't know stupidest isn't a word.
