Arr 'n' Bee

Rythym and Blues, its a broad topic. Let's Get It On. Let's Get Peed On. I remember the first time I listened to 12 Play. I think I learned more about sex during its opening three tracks then the talk that followed the first time I got caught masterbating to a Sears Catalogue. Before R. Kelly got stuck in the closet he was my personal Sex Ed Teacher. "Girl I'm gonna take you home and then before I roll it on, won't you pinch the tip of the Dooome."-noted

I personally don't think there is a single line in Ignition that isn't perfectly constructed.

The evolution of the genre is quite dramatic. Al Green said "Let's Get Married" while nowadays we skip the vows and sing along to "Bump and Grind" with the same heart felt facial expressions. I recently spent some time with the arguably the best hook composer in the pop world today-The Dream. The man behind Riahanna's Umbrella released an album last year that warranted a accolades of a modern day R&B resurrection. Think T-Pain without a clown hat...and with organic vocal chords.

Today I feel it's time to showcase both ends of the spectrum in this ever changing african american pioneered style of music. Rusty horns are now shimmering synths, background harmonies and now Lil' Jon yelps but Love is still Love.

The Dream-Mr Yeah

Al Green- Love and Happiness

The Dream- Love Vs. Money

Al Green- I'm Still In Love With You
