Anderson.Paak. Does all of these genres soul/jazz/gospel/R&B/hip-Hop and plays instruments himself. Black people ask for real music, let's see if we actually support him.
MrGNugget exactly. People need to realize that’s its still a business at the end of the day and if we’re not supporting it, the labels won’t support it either which they aren’t. Why is why you dont hear R&B on the radio anymore
The disrespect that urban radio has done to r&b is terrible.. Idk why these programmers think r&b is so evil and scared that everyone will turn off the radio is r&b is played.. Not every song needs to be lit / club music
i like how neyo describes todays music its only good for the moment.It doesnt have that vibe and its all the same.Neyo is very talented and knows what true R&B is
Favorite Ne-Yo tracks anyone? I'll try to keep it at 10... 1. Mad 2. When You're Mad 3. One In a Million 4. Go On Girl 5. Lazy Love 6. Do You 7. Sexy Love 8. Miss Independent 9. Make It Work 10. Get Down Like That
Oh nah man, I think RED, YOTG, and Because Of You was his best albums. In My Own Words was a good first album but he’s gotten better with each album. To each is own though, I agree his catalog is solid and underrated
MizzY Moss exactly we can use R&B doing so many things like cleaning the house .cooking ..time with the love ones and definitely with that special someone
Just based on some of the comments I read, I'm convinced that a lot of you forgot or just didn't know Ne-Yo is also a songwriter. He didn't just up and disappear and lost his love for music. He's written songs for multiple people for years...that's all lol.
“Gotta change my answering machine now that I’m alone.” “Cause right now it says that WE can’t come to the phone.” 💜 I love Ne-yo that song use to be my Jam and I let y’all know how old I am since NOBODY has Answering machines Anymore lmao 😂😆 27 years strong 👌🏾💜
Maddcatt N Wonderland “And I know it makes no seeeense, since you walked out the dooooor...” Man, one of the most well written songs right next to TLC No Scrubs. #Team27Too✊🏾
Adrian JSon -Even in the music video they show an old school landline phone that would have an answering machine on it. lol the video was uploaded on RU-vid back in 2009 but the song actually was recorded and made in 2006. People don’t even use voice mail anymore but he did mean answering machine because you could leave a little message at the beginning before someone left you a “VoiceMail”.
Maddcatt N Wonderland shit i havent seen the video in forever. I mean i know what a landline is im not young at all and i remember those big ass answering machines lol but its been a minute since I've watched the video so mybad for assuming lol. 😊
He was speaking so much TRUTH about today's music and artist!!! I always respected Ne-yo music before but now I can say that I honestly respect him as an artist after this interview...
And yes he is a legend it's sad that people don't remember him. He has so many hits plus he has ghost written so many hits for so many legendary artist like Mary J Blige and Beyonce. People who say that he should not be in the same tier as Alicia Keys, Beyonce, Rihanna, and Drake are crazy!
NE-YO THE GOAT OF THE MID 2000'S PLUS! Inspiring and talented. Great definition of a mature Black man Thanks for showing humility and growth! Respect! Still my fav Male R&B singer/Artist
Never CEASES TO AMAZE ME that we have seemingly either forgot or NEVER UNDERSTOOD the WORTH of a WOMAN and their RELEVANCY...Making SENSUAL songs about them USED to be a priority...REST IN PEACE R&B music.. NE-YO is giving it CPR ...Thank GOD...
before some of yall slander neyo, don't forget he made In my own words, because of you, and year of the gentleman, back to back to back. he pretty much ran the mid to late 2000s.
Yeah I thought that was a legit question too. They should practically every artist that cause a lot of em probably don’t have as much passion for it as they once did.
Not really Ne-Yo does choreography "scripted" dancing. He can't freestyle like Chris he even said it himself he can't freestyle dance. What makes a dancer good is when you can do both choreography and freestyle.
@@nightxlynxs and neyo himself also disagrees with your statement ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-70VRsAgS5zE.html Go to 1:47 during the interview
@@jhonram2496 Yea, that’s why everyone has an opinion & again I said “I agree to disagree” meaning there’s some parts of your comments I personally agree & understand as well as some parts I disagree.
He ain't faithful he made his wife get tubes tide divorce her then married someone else that he was already phucn and had a child together lol some of yal women have no morals especially when all you see in a guy is money 🤦♂️
Gary Benjamin Holt Jr. We shouldn’t have to “dig” for good music. These days, the sh^t rises to the top on the strength of something going viral or some other idiocy.
DJ GaFFLe it's always been that way though. I'm just saying, we have access to more music now than ever. You can't say that good music isn't being made when you aren't buying it
Yea that is crazy about what he said that artist have to drop music left and right and not give us the chance to fall in love with it ... and I’m still that person that has too listen too the whole album and listen to everything ....
Kenshannon Jeter sadly, with the proliferation of ratchetivity and mumble Rap, the soul seems lost from our people. Hopefully a new wave will come to turn that around.
I still listen to neyo music to so sick, go on girl, do you, make it work, closer, stay, lazy love, when you're mad, because of you, one in a million, say it, and etc
Finally Daniel Caesar gets some recognition! People don’t talk about him a lot but his music is lovely 💕. The song “Get You” will forever be one of my top favorite songs of all time.
Authentic R&B is dead right now (on the charts) but glad someone like Ella Mai with a clean R&B song is at the top of the charts right now. Which hasn't been done since a long long time ago.
Top 10 Ne-Yo songs 1. So you can cry 2. Do you 3. Know your name 4. Because of you 4. So sick 5. Sexy Love 6. Make it work 7. Call me crazy 8. Stay 9. When you’re mad 10. Can we chill Honourable mentions - Let me get this right - Mirror - Champagne life - Telekinesis
You aren't going to get the best R&B from the radio. You've got to look for it. So many wonderful artists out there. Thanks Ne-Yo for keeping the light on. Another good interview TBC 👏
Can we get Jay Morrison and the people from the Tulsa Real Estate Fund up here asap? They just started the first black owned real estate investment fund and the model is really interesting and their mission is amazing.
R&B still alive, just not getting the recognition mainstream wise, but I see it slowly coming back based on what Bruno Mars did the last 2 yrs and Ella Mai's breakout song: Boo'ed Up
He has valid points about music today...it is here and gone before you know it. People release so many songs it is hard to even keep up. Heck, I'm 26...but still feel out of the loop when it comes to current hits and whatnot.
He does not need us.He could have done pop and radio friendly songs again if he wanted but he chose to do rnb.And there is nothing wrong with doing pop it is versatility
Ne-Yo I will ALWAYS LOVE YOU!!! And I make sure that anyone I make close acquaintances with KNOWS that I love me some !😍😍😍 You are STILL the soul of R&B in my book!!!
That she only takes a sip of after she asks a question because she knows the camera may be on her. This way ppl won’t call her out like Fat Joe did! 😩😂
Tashia Redd y’all so sensitive man, just like Ne-Yo was sayin. leave that cute little woman alone. idc how many sips she’s taking of her green juice. I don’t come here for that.
Glad to see Ne-Yo back with some new heat and the album’s dope content wise from what I’ve heard. The problem with R&B from the last few years and currently is that it’s no love or soul in it as much anymore and majority of the people out now aren’t really sangin’ anymore either, yeah I said “sangin” lol; like it’s not believable to me. Plus it’s too much fused in with hip-hop; that trap R&B or whatever it is has gotta go
Justin Faircloth Exactly. I’m starting to notice that too. Everybody sounds the same with the exception of artists like Daniel Caesar, Miguel, H.E.R. I heard Usher is working on a new album. Supposed to be a Confessions Pt. 2 album. A lot of the new R&B singers are mediocre too whether it’s their music or their vocals.
One of the greatest R&B singer/songwriters ever. I've been supporting his music since "Stay" feat. Peedi Peedi in 2005. STILL an awesome song with an awesome music video. He KILLED the American Ninja Warrior course last month too.
Neyo : That 2 year stint, I’m on Twitter & everybody’s like y’all remember Neyo? I’m like DAMN!!!😒😩 Me : (Laughing w/ Yee)😭💀🤣⚰️. But we love you Neyo🥰😍, I had to come back to this interview, because of this😭.
I'm just happy and glad and happy that Ne-Yo is setting a great example to other guys on how to be a Good Man even though you make mistakes I love Ne-Yo no matter what anyone says or thinks of him.😘😘😄👑❤️💙😀😍😘
The homie neyo! 🔥 really looked up to this guy growin up. The only artist I know from my homestate of Arkansas that made it to this level of success💯💯🤘🏽👏🏾 salute bro! #Arkansasmade 🐗🐗🐗
travie786 for the sake of my people, we shouldn’t have to “look” for the good stuff and the ‘sh^t’ shouldn’t rise to the top. We’ve been consuming majority sh^t music for too long now. I love the Miguel’s, Anderson Paaks, etc. Keep that monkeyfied mumble music in the strip clubs.
been with my Woman for 11 years and we just now getting Married Last week. She thought that was bad until we Spoke to this Couple Who was together for 30 years and they was also Getting Married the same day as us. I was scared to be honest but I'm glad it's over. I still have a problem with porn but I'm working on it.
they dont want to say the obvious. radio has its own agenda..we get pushed the same top artists all the time..theres others with talent but they dont get the attention or backing...only certain ones are allowed to shine smh..
