Old School R&B

[jeffx]

Here's some REAL old skool R&B/Soul - when music was music, and cats could actually sing, play instruments and write songs.

Seems like the majority of you have no clue what "Old School" actually means.

This thread was made off a 90's R&B topic so I went ahead and kept with the 90's R&B that we were all talking about in the chatbox

^^^ You can't have 'blue-eyed soul' without Teena Marie and Lisa Stansfield.

This thread gives me a clear idea of how old a lot dudes on here...the majority of what has been posted is 90's music...it hasn't really met Old School R&B yet and if you think so then I wonder what you consider Zapp and Roger, EWF, Marvin Gaye (Got to Give it Up), The Commodores, The Gap Band, etc.

For the best blends and mixtapes...check out my man DJ Smooth Denali!

Hey relaxed, were you a fan of soul legend Solomon Burke? He passed away not too long ago.

Not entirely true, I was also appalled at the amount of 90s music in here. Though I like some of it, it's not "old school." My first drop was the legendary Smokey Robinson. Props to whoever posted Booker T and the MG's, and whoever posted Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes. And whoever posted the Chi-Lites.

Old people please exit :smug:

I think y'all took "old school" too literally. The OP had a R Kelly video as old school. No doubt that 50's - 70's is old school but for the thread, I don't that is what he meant. The majority of the guys here were born in the mid 80's....hell I'm not that old ('79). Like KRS-One said you can't consider it (old school hip hop) until it's at least 50 years old...same could be said for R&B.

 

[Pitty]

So old School now means late 90's - early 2000's Pop R & B?

No.

 

[MvP]

Yeah this thread should have just been titled 90's R&B, even though I posted a song from like 2004.

 

[Coach]

The funniest thing to me in this thread is the "Shai/end thread" comment! LOL

I guess it's all about interpretation...I was born in 74 and been listenin to music as far back as I can remember. When people refer to old school, to me it's all about the 70 & 80's (and some 60's)...songs that can still rock a party til this day...ex. Frankie Beverly & Maze - Before I Let Go. But 90's music is just that to me....90's music.

That's no excuse.

Ok, the original post had R Kelly, but subsequent posts had stuff like Otis Reading and Curtis Mayfield.

They are old, they are actually Rhythm & Blues and they damn well take the likes of R fucking Kelly all the way to school and back.

If the thread was titled "Shit music from a few years ago" then we would have left well alone. But call a thread 'Old School R&B' and we will school you in old R&B.

And the 'born in the mid 80s' thing is a fucking cop out as well. All the music I posted was from well before I was born and I'm one of the oldest people on VSN. It is impossible for any true music fan to respect the opinion of anyone who doesn't listen to any music from outside their own lifetime.

Isn't dismissing what the young kids around here consider old school the same as them dismissing what we consider old school?
