as a youngster myself, i grew up listening to older R&B. it has changed significantly. but then you have to think to youself.. so has rock, and other genres. i think all music is just flowing with its time. but R&B definately is not “black gangster rap” as you called it. it just has more of a hip hop feel. and when i say “hip hop” i dont mean gangster rap

R & B still means rhythm and blues. The guy your refering to is Robin Thicke and that song he was singing would be considered R & B, because it does sound more soulful. Rap music is not R & B it is just rap or hip-hop. It’s not about the color of the person singing the song, it’s the way that it sounds.

r&b is not a color its a sound. rap is not r&b, rap is rap. a wimpy white guy can sing r&b if he so desires…
