Humble Beginnings

If we ever make it to the level of the gods (a la Quincy Jones), it will be helpful and inspiring to remember that alot of the early work was done sitting at the bottom of my bed using this bare bones set up.

Respecting Real R&B

2011-09-22T22:31:00.000-05:00

I am pretty open to most genres of music (excluding country - sorry), but from time to time I have to admit, that I don't feel like there are alot of brothers that still do real rhythm and blues. Crazy things is, most of the "brothers" that still do R&B aren't brothers at all. (Jamie Lidell, Mayer Hawthorne, Dallas Green - his folk sometimes bleeds into the land of R&B, John Mayer - yes I consider him R&B, Justin, etc.) Hear me out. I know there are the Tanks, Dweles, Phontes, Musiqs, Maxwells, etc. I respect the brothers that can respectfully walk that thin line between pop, R&b, all else too - Trey, Chris, & Usher. But when brothers meet me and tell me they sing R&B and they are looking for a producer, I almost always get the same rap - Wack & B, Sex & B, etc. Cats don't respect Kells as the should - as a case study. They bite one element of his persona (baby makers), but they don't learn from the side of him that wrote the great R&B songs. A lot of what is pawned off as R&B these days is really what I like to call "get the girl music" -get her sexed, get her naked, get her wet. But what I think cats miss is the fact that if they wrote and produced "real" songs, they would accomplish all the above...LOL!

I said all that to say I'm always elated when brothers get it together and make Good, Balanced, Soulful R&B records.
