Fake R&B Is What Killed The R&B Singer
Do you remember the golden days of R&B when the music was timeless, made you want to be in love, spoke to your emotions, and artists were really sanging?!
Well at times it seems like that ship has sailed for various reasons. One reason in particular is the emergence of fake azz R&B singers (singers that can’t sing, barely can sing, ones who put out music that is barely R&B, or their music is really Pop or Hip-Hop mislabeled as R&B.)
Hit the flip to check out a list of fake R&B singers.

Drake- We really like Drake, in fact he’s a talented cat but who asked him or told him he could/should sing?!? While he was trying to keep R&B alive he was really opening the door for it’s decline.

Jhene Aiko- is not really souled out. I don’t know what this is but it’s hardly soulful or R&B. “The Worst” was the worst!
WENN
Tinashe- We like Tinashe. The girl can dance and is super adorable, but the DJ Mustard beats and just okay singing reminds us more of Hip-Pop.
WENN
Future- Future is definitely the turn up king, but we are NOT giving him a pass for his terrible azz fake singing. The rappers are singing and the R&B singers are beefing. What’s really going on with the genre.
WENN
Ty Dolla Sign- Ty should just rap; we really don’t need his auto-tuned vocals anywhere else.
WENN
Nicki Minaj- like her label mate Drake who asked Nicki to sing? Grrrrrr just rap hun, just rap.
WENN
Justin Bieber- Sometimes Bieber’s songs are more R&B than the R&B singers but he’s really a pop star, and it’s not completely authentic.
WENN
Sam Smith- While Sam Smith is amazing, and has had an amazing year… we have to question his authenticity.
WENN
The Weeknd- We actually may be being too hard on The Weeknd because the brotha actually sings. We are going to put him on here though because sometimes we don’t know how and where to categorize him.
Instagram
Young Thug- Strange rapper Young Thug is now singing hooks along with every other Atlanta rapper. There’s just one problem…they can’t sing.
Instagram
Mila J- Her vocals and music is just blah like her sister Jhene if you ask us.
WENN
Omarion- Maybach O loses us every time with those annoying azz vocals.
Ray J- Brandy’s brother Ray J is no Brandy that’s for sure. Some even say Brandy is overrated. Mama Norwood ran a good game on the industry.
Cassie- The music industry never needed Cassie’s non-singing azz. Have you ever seen her perform “Me & U” live? LMAO. Thank god for Diddy claiming her these last few years because lawd.
Kelis- Baby girl tries so hard to convince us that she has a unique sultry voice that is really just struggle.
