r&b in the 'rhythm and blues' sense?
or r&b as in the tuneless, 'urban' dogdirt sense?
in the sense
that white people are making something that is theoretically radio-friendly and influenced by popular hip-hop and r&b.
'white people'
uh-oh
WTF?
,.,.
racist
i love urban dogdirt
neon neon maybe
they're pretty awesome
lol
Hey Willpower
though the album is a little syrupy for my tastes. "Hundredaire" is a classic.
Telepathe perhaps?
The Cansecos maybe
they probably lean more towards disco than r&b but the influence is there.

YACHT
Its the other half of the blow, 'I believe in you, your magic is real' is a good album.
Also:
Graceland?
Early Police?
