lol at the title of her new album ... I've got love for Mary, but c'mon, stop releasing the same album every single year. We get it, you've been through some hard times and now you're stronger.

lmao, surprised she's still selling today...most people who were relevant in the 90's aren't really relevant these days.

R&B hitmaker The-Dream has announced the completion of his speculated "final" solo album, LoveKing.

Writing via Twitter, Dream publicly revealed the project has wrapped up.

"LoveKing is the best of the Three albums And Its FINISHED!," he wrote regarding his final album, Saturday (January 16) morning. "Pre-Order and buy from a brand you can Trust! Radiokilla Records." (The-Dream's Twitter)

Usher - Hey Daddy (Daddy's Home)

From Raymond VS Raymond

After watching Usher's performance in a tribute to Michael Jackson at 2010 Grammy Awards, Jay-Z believes that the 'My Boo' singer is about to become a new King of Pop.

Jay-Z was so impressed with Usher's tribute to Michael Jackson at Sunday night's, January 31 Grammy Awards, he's tipped the R&B star to become the new King of Pop.

Yeah because someone replaced Elvis as the King of Rock

When Usher makes an album that sells like a bajillion albums then he can do that.

I mean look at Elvis or any King ofanything, their role is permanent. It's not an inherited title. 

It's like if I became the King of Hip Hop since there is no King yet that I know of, I'd have it for life and beyond. It's not like when I die 50 Cent gets it...

Dang well Dru Hill is back! Sisqo and them music were hot back when I was in 6th grade or 7th grade.

RnB shweet.

 You oughta check out Nnekas album - not entirely R&B however.

Also Angie Stone & Corrine Bailer Raes new ones are great as well.

Keen on the new Sade anyone heard tracks from it? 

ive got the new sade...its wack. sade hasn't been good since '92 man...they're just not funky anymore.Colt45fool

Seems like the general listeners don't think so.

After a decade of keeping fans waiting, Sade has returned to store shelves as Soldier of Love debuted at No. 1 this week. According to Nielsen Soundscan, the singer's long-awaited comeback album has sold 503,100 records after one week in stores.

Just recently heard that Usher track "OMG". MUCH better than that awful first single from his album, but still, nothing great enough to make me want to go out and buy the album or anything.

Anyways, since R&B is so awful lately, we should talk about 90's R&B - what did/do you guys like from this era? I was just going through my records yesterday and played some Jagged Edge and K-Ci & Jo-Jo. And of course you've got your Boyz-II-Men. I dunno, I remember loving R&B in the 90's but my memory of that era is kinda shot. Help me remember some of the jams from that time.

Speculated cover for Dream's Love King LP.

Glad to see other people actually like him. It's hard to tell if I'm just nostalgic or his music just is that good.

No, it's that good...I didn't cop the self-titled disc until late 2008. I tried to get people in here, and in the Lounge on him like last year/late 2008, and everyone looked at me like I was crazy.

I don't know about his other tapes though...I was kind of afraid to delve any deeper because I heard the stuff after his first album was hit or miss.
