I feel like they sound too different

I hear those songs and they don't sound same genre to me

Real music.

Different subgenres if it makes sense.

not in the same way but if we’re looking at r&b as a whole then id say hes the goat

if we’re talking about later r&b then id lean towards usher or something

decades apart

Yeah, the genre has evolved multiple times by then.

Ya

But like

I feel like it's weird the same way putting little Richard against Kurt Cobain would be kinda weird

I feel like it must be broken down more

Still, there are acts that make old-school-esque s*** to this day.

i get what u mean sure

id say usher or kelly then

leon thomas

I mean.

It all began with ragtime and blues.

All of American popular music.

This doesn't feel relevant

Idk enough r&b to say but I just wanted you to question your own statement

i was listening to my fav jazz song The Ghetto Walk by Miles Davis yesterday 👍🔥

why are you like this

But yeah, I wouldn't group Little Richard with Nirvana because Little Richard's music was much more R&B-esque.

Rock 'n' roll wouldn't have existed without blues/R&B.

Idk I don't listen to all that old crap

Multiple classics does he have, tbh.

I'm sorry I was just being conversational with a condescending twist

But then again, popular music wouldn't have existed without blues in general.

I don't get it are you still talking to me

hmmmm

Yeah.

Tbh, you could listen to a couple of tunes of his.

If you'd like.
