If you’re wondering why Young MA was trending–well, it’s because she said we barely have R&B anymore in a perfectly valid and thoughtful tweet that, naturally, sparked all kinds of chaos across Music Twitter.
Now, the Brooklyn MC DOES have a point: R&B just doesn’t SLAP like it did in the 90s/2000s and isn’t really a priority at major labels anymore. That’s 100% true. BUT it’s also true that dope R&B artists still exist in a bizarro music universe where toxic stan culture overshadows the actual music.
Young MA: the game lackin cause it's lackin R&B cuz everything tryina sound the same, we need to bring r&b back to balance the game

Peep the Twitter chitter-chatter over Young MA’s “controversial” comments on the flip.
Music don’t feel the same because we barely have R&B, … R&B brung that balance to music.. now everything is leanin one way smh so it gets played out quick! We need R&B for the balance no kap!

What Young MA said needs to be directed at the Labels. They are the ones pushing the "lil paint can" rappers and not the R&B acts..

Young MA not lying, most of the R&B today has no soul in it

Ok but R&B isn’t getting the credit for any of it so @YoungMAMusic is correct https://t.co/T4wrGj0vjm

just because it doesn’t exist in the ‘mainstream’ sphere doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist at all.
Young MA saying R&B needs to make a come back, isn’t a jab at R&B artists it’s a jab at the Labels/Radios/DJ’s etc. Who aren’t tuned into the R&B scene.

Folks are mad at that Young MA tweet about the current state of R&B but she's not the only one that has said this and she's not lying. Yes it is R&B out here but is it actually good 🤔?? The game is flooded with whisper singing, weak writing & excessive autotune usage
