Is R/B music dead?

With all of the buzz around around pop music with Miley Cyrus , rap music with Drake, Kanye West , country music with Taylor Swift, Keith Urban, where does that leave R and B music with? There needs to be a renassiance of soul and funk into the music scene again. Is it because R/B isn't  sexy or catchy? What's not sexy in that of a soulful love ballad? Artist such as Keith Sweat , of Bobby Brown would tell you otherwise , or the late-great Michael Jackson with the Off The Wall album that has jams that last a lifetime such as Its The Falling In Love, Off The Wall, Working Day and Nite etc. So Ameerica, get back to some soulful and funky music. Don't get me wrong , I like the new age pop and rap , but let't not forget where it stems from ..... R AND B MUSICCC.  Now go and bust a move!

Drizzy Drake's God's Plan

What's up everyone, I know I've been on hiatus but I've been listening to some great music lately, and some from one of my favorite artists, Drake. Drake dropped two new singles a couple weeks ago, with God's Plan and Diplomatic Immunity. These are hits already and God's Plan has already gone platinum. Drake also shot the music video and released it last week . The video is set in downtown Miami, FL and Drake gives back to the community and gives money to those in need, cars, and other charitable organizations in the process. It was just under a million, but money wasn't an issue for Drake.  Check out the hit song and the wonderfully shot video! Enjoy! https://youtu.be/XUqRem0W8L8
