Don’t get mad at them for being naive; they’re probably too young to even know who those two artists even are let alone the reason why rap and r&b are usually in the same slots. They’re just looking for something to get mad about.

“Erm yikes guys; this thing I don’t know anything about because I was a sperm at the time but is literally accepted by the community i’m going to claim to defend is hella offensive. Like erm yikes princess.” I wish more parents would keep an eye on what their dumb kids do.

no i know why- people group them together because they’re the black people genres even though they are completely different. like modern rnb and pop are closer together if anything sonically

lmfao rnb and rap are literally inseparable what tf are you talking about, go back to 2003 and listen to crazy in love again and tell me rap and rnb have zero to do with each other you posturing doucher

crazy in love is pop?

Anonymous #3 17w

which again ties back to people only associating black people with rnb/rap seeing as that’s obviously a pop song and i guarantee if beyoncé wasn’t black you would easily call it pop

its a song from her debut album after leaving destiny’s child which was what kind of group lol? if anything referring to her as solely pop and ignoring the huge element of rnb in her sound is whitewashing more than anything to me

i didn’t say beyoncé is only pop i said crazy in love is a pop song. were you talking about the album dangerously in love maybe?

also like i just said rnb and pop are somewhat close together sometimes but rap is not really at all the same thing as a genre. like i don’t think anyone would call beyoncé a rapper. anyways im telling you you’re participating in a common and harmful stereotyping of black artistry why is it so hard to just be like “my bad”

sure i the black person am ignorant on black issues

especially when the boxing of black artists into hip hop/rnb is something documented for decades by black listeners and musicians and clearly shown in the lack of acceptance of black artists in any other genre

im not gonna cite you every rnb song with a rap verse in it you just believe what you wanna

no one is saying that rap and rnb is a single genre, there is significant overlap between rap and rnb through their combined music language and influence of hip hop, soul, and jazz, to the same degree that country and western have an overlap and are regarded together as a category of music while still being separate genres

do y remember that era where every single pop song had a rap verse as the bridge why is it not pop/rap?

Anonymous #4 17w

and again rnb and pop sound very similar especially today, i’m not denying similarity between genres just suggesting people question why they seem to group certain things together in their heads when logically they could be grouped another way

i just really dont think its racist to put rap and rnb in the same category, like the most listened to rapper and rnb artist in the world right now are both drake, if that isnt an example of how the genres have come together into a single “sound” then idk what does. sorry?
