Sex is all people sing ab...@Poppy- I know right?!?! Sex is all people sing about and people wonder why all these teenagers are experimenting and whatnot. Real R&B for life!!! LoL<br /><br />Thanks for sharing that great poem, @Ms.Nana. I'm with you on the Boys II Men, Blackstreet, and all the others you listed! = )<br /><br />Thanks @LaTasha... I LOVE THE TEMPTATIONS! Great song choice!<br /><br />@Nichole Naomi- OmG, I promise you that "For You" is my jam! Man, I want Kenny Lattimore to come out with another CD. That would make life so much better. I also shoulda mentioned how much I love Musiq Soulchild and Corey Latif Williams too. Man, R&B music is just amazing if you're listening to the right people!<br /><br />Lastly, @Kam you said it best! I can't agree with you anymore than I already do. It's sad that some women these days feel loved because guys offer to spend stacks on them and/or call them the baddest. Your comment is too bomb!<br /><br />THANKS TO ALL FOR READING! = )Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2773511943855224008.post-9248706405999207212011-05-26T10:30:33.888-07:002011-05-26T10:30:33.888-07:00Really like this post.

In my opinion, love is a combination of an untouchable feeling and is represented by what someone does to show their love.<br /><br />Sexin for several hours, before the guy is gone for god knows how long hanging with his homies, is not love to me. Nor is referring to a woman as a bitch, discussing a couple's sex life with male friends, or confirming that you have the baddest bitch.<br /><br />'Sweet Love' by Anita Baker seriously was my croon song when I was a kid. I'd watch that video and think I can't wait for that to happen. Now I look around at the men propositioning me and think, that is NOT what you are offering lolKamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13105682775656998235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2773511943855224008.post-45846760914535459312011-05-05T09:17:12.031-07:002011-05-05T09:17:12.031-07:00I agree with this post. I have always said female ...I agree with this post. I have always said female R&B singers are forever in love (Keyshia Cole, Beyonce) and male R&B singers always sing about sex (Chris, Trey, Usher). However, the music industry is meant to make money and entertain the masses. Hopefully smart people can separate their own reality from that of the music industry. My views of love are like the words to "Spend my life with you" by Eric Benet and Tamia or "For you" by Kenny Lattimore, but that's just me.<br /><br />sweetfacedgirl.blogspot.comNichole Naomihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15352475418409709018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2773511943855224008.post-64740936048463937322011-04-28T20:00:32.364-07:002011-04-28T20:00:32.364-07:00Great post.

I totally agree that modern culture greatly misrepresents love...it's sad, and can make us forget what real love is really about.<br />Great song list, my favorite love song: "Just my Imagination" by the Temptations :)<br />xx LJLaTashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08898585178623207018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2773511943855224008.post-53459799027099501852011-04-11T01:56:33.404-07:002011-04-11T01:56:33.404-07:00Love - "Love is a temporary madness,

Love songs aren't love songs anymore. I noticed the other day that most of the r&b songs are about sex, not many about love. It's a shame because I know many young people think that love is indeed about sex. Obviously thats something their parents should tell them about but lets be honest, the media is raising the kids nowadays. <br /><br />I am a lover of old school r&b, forever & always!Laneé https://www.blogger.com/profile/15141081687917913503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2773511943855224008.post-55861123128340989552011-04-02T23:52:32.701-07:002011-04-02T23:52:32.701-07:00Thanks for reading ladies!

For one I listen to the oldies dating back to the 1930's. We as a community have sung about sex forever. Yes it is a lot more vulgar now, but nothing new. I'm not justifying what's new. I'm just be cautious of where the blame is directed. When it comes to music as an art, I appreciate old and new (MUSIC. not Gucci there is a difference lol.) Secondly, the distorted images of love are by our own doing. The thing is everyone has their own perception of love and although it is based on traditions and enviroments, ultimately that person has to decide what love means to them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
