I've been listening to alot recently from 90's to early 00's but what are your favourites?! Here are some of mine;

 

 

 

 

 

 

:wub:! Used to be so good. I love the down tempo feel to them. Can anyone share their favourites?

Is "Don't Walk Away" that one that Javine covered? Loving TLC and Shanice <3

Is it true, TLC are to do a tour with a hologram thing of Lisa? Someone at work told me. I am unsure as to whether or not I believe them :lol:

Yes it is. The original is infinetly better (love Javine though! Ha). And yeah I heard about that Jonjo, I think it's just for the US. Would be v.weird to see, but not gonna lie, I think I might go if they came to the UK. 'Creep', 'Unpretty', 'No Scrubs' and 'Waterfalls' are all amazing pieces of R&B :wub:.

The hologram thing could be true. I watched a hologram Tupac perform on Youtube a few weeks ago! Was so weird, but it was amazing.

Brandy is the ultimate, I've been reliving her for the past week or so and The Boy Is Mine is quite probably the best R&B song ever! What About Us is essential as well.

 

I have random moments though where I'll just spend a couple of hours listening to Brandy, TLC, Mary J Blige etc. every now and then :lol:

Me too. Not with those specific artists necessarily, but I find myself listening to one song, then I think of another song I used to like and listen to that, then I think "Oh that sounds like this song", and then I listen to that, then I want to listen to the artist's next single, then there's a remix of the song I want to listen to, and on and on and on. I get carried away and go for hours! :lol:

I'm obsessed with Mary Mary 'Shackles (Praise You)' at the moment :wub:! I keep requesting it in clubs. :lol:

I used to be obsessed with this song back in the day. I clearly didn't understand it or listen to the lyrics very closely though, as I was very surprised to find out they did Christian music :lol:

Haha, I know! They're originally gospel singers I believe!

Shackles (Praise You) is one of those songs I always forget exists and then it gets mentioned and I'm like 'OH GOD I LOVE THAT SONG' and have to listen to it, like I have it on right now :lol:

 

They had another good song a couple of years ago I randomly found called Something Big, sort of along the same lines as Shackles (Praise You).

'Shackles' is an absolute tune.

 

How has nobody mentioned Aaliyah in this thread. The QUEEN of older RnB I'd argue:

 

 

 

 

And the obvious hit singlez. So so good. Timbaland's best work.

 

 

YES JAKE. 'We Need A Resolution' is probably one of the finest R&B moments.

 

 

I also still adore Macy Gray. :wub:! 'I Try' is such a stunning song, I love her voice so much.

I was gonna say Aaliyah. 'Try Again' is seriously amazing as is 'Rock The Boat' :wub:.

 

And not really THAT old school but I'm obsessed with Mis-Teeq's 'One Night Stand' at the moment, I even somehow miraculously got it played in a club last night :wub:!

Yes, Family Affair and Try Again are AMAZING! :wub: Then again, you all know how much I like Dr. Dre and Timabaland. :lol: Try Again is more electropop though.

 

And I used to love this when I was young. Thank God I Found You by Mariah Carey, Joe and Nas. It samples Make it Last Forever. A lot of people hate this song because it's basically a "remix", that sounds COMPETELY different to the original (which was a pop-ballad duet with a boy band), but they got combined in the charts because they had the same title, and it/they got to #1. :lol: She even made a seperate music video for both (versions) of the song(s). It's so beautiful. :wub:

Aaliyah: We need a resolution :wub:

Brandy and Monica: The boy is mine

Brian Mcknight: Back at one

Coolio: Gangsta's paradise

Destiny's Child: Say my name :wub:

Destiny's Child: Bug a boo'

Donel Jones feat. Left-eye: U know what's up :wub:

En vogue: Too gone, too long

Foxy Brown feat. Blackstreet: Get you home

Mariah Carey & Boys 2 men: One sweet day

Montell Jordan: Get it on tonite

Missy Elliot: All n my grill

Nas: If I ruled the world

Ol'dirty bast*rd feat. Kelis: Get your money

R. Kelly: I can't sleep

Shola Ama: You might need somebody

SWV: Right here :wub:

TLC: No scrubs

The Braxtons: The boss

Toni Braxton: Un-break my heart

2 Pac feat. Dr Dre: Calafornia love

Just to name a few ^_^

Most of the 90s R&B is great, as well as the hip-hop during that time. I love Missy Elliott, ''Queen Bitch'' (Hard Core :wub:) , Biggie, Ginuwine, Aaliyah, Nas etc.

I'm still amazed at how Timbaland managed to last for so long as a producer. Started out in the 90s for a few of the aforementioned artists and rose to popularity again in 2006 after Nelly Furtado and Justin Timberlake collaborated with him. Maybe in a few years he'll have his third uprise.

^Those songs are amazing!! :wub: I've been listening to Breathe a lot lately actually. It's a bit worrying if they're considered "old school" though. I was in senior school when they were popular. :(

I really do hope Timbaland can get popular again. He released a new song with Dev recently, but it's flopping in the US. :( He and Keri Hilson made the original version to Don't Hold You Breath by Nicole Scherzinger, which got to #1 last year, so they still have the hit-making potential, they just need some more under their own names now.

 

In the 90's he had a lot to do with the fusing of RnB and hip hop in mainstream music, and in he was popular in the late 00's he had a lot to do with the fusing of urban and dance. I think it's obvious to most people that we're seeing another musical shift at the moment, so maybe it's time for him to blow up again. :wub:
