in reality
>a form of popular music of US black origin which arose during the 1940s from blues, with the addition of driving rhythms taken from jazz. It was an immediate precursor of rock and roll.
>the term was originally used by record companies to describe recordings marketed predominantly to urban African Americans, at a time when "urbane, rocking, jazz based music with a heavy, insistent beat" was becoming more popular.
>in the early 1950s it was frequently applied to blues records
>in the 1960s, several British rock bands were referred to and promoted as being RnB bands
>by the 1970s, the term rhythm and blues changed again and was used as a blanket term for soul and funk

sounds like you are a racist tbqh

I was hoping you were going to say that R&B is just what we call pop music when it seems like it was made with black people in mind. I agree with that point.

I'm having trouble thinking of any nasal sounding artists desu

>>73667625
that's what it used to mean. sometime around the 90's it turned into "shitty hip hop with sung vocals"

>>73670896
Pretty much.
Good job funk and soul stayed awesome (as long as you stay away from pbr&b)

>>73670976
Truth.

>>73667625
>implying R&B is a real genre and not just a racist label given to black music
Oh wait no, you did realize that. So why are you continuing to use it? Clearly R&B and contemporary R&B have nothing to do with each other so just stop using the term. It is interesting that /mu/ never talks about blues though.

>>73671076
It's all blues, just with more rhythm.
