Rap and Bullshit

Today’s R&B is pure garbage.

John Legend: Remarkably bland.

John Legend: Remarkably bland.

None of these artists fit the bill, however, as an R&B icon for the new millennium. It may be a lot to ask for another Marvin Gaye or Sam Cooke, both of whom pushed for social change and helped revolutionize the role of the black singer-songwriter in the music industry. It may be too much to ask for another purple one or gloved one, both of whom affected everything from rock and pop to popular culture and marketing. But is it too much to expect a single standout talent? I don't think so, and, as a result suggest we change the "Rap & Bullshit" moniker to simply "Bullshit."
