WE HONGRY

I couldn't name 10 good r&b albums if I tried.

Is Janelle Monae considered r&b? Or Prince?

I really like Tim's production on One
Forever My Lady is their best album same goes for Another Level, and Brown Sugar. 12 Play and Thursday

>>53488353
12 Play and Thursday are debatable*

>>53488313
well sure, no great albums have come out of weeknd imitators, but the original influence reshaped contemporary r&b and is still being explored
we'll have another classic yet because of it
