Hitmaka Addressed Diddy’s Word On R&B
Hitmaka Addressed Diddy’s Word On R&B. What did Diddy say about soul music? Would there be hip-hop without R&B?
Is R&B Dead Or Not?
Hitmaka Addressed Diddy’s Word On R&B. Sean”Diddy” Combs has started a conversation about R&B. Diddy has launched his new R&B label (Love Records).
And, he has invited guests such as Mary J Blige, Tank, and Timbaland. During the discussion with Mary, his thoughts were revealed. Lately, R&B has taken a back seat to hip-hop.
In fact, Diddy wanted to know who killed R&B, as reported by XXL Mag. Also, he pointed it there were two types of R&B (rap R&B and traditional R&B). Somehow word got back to Christian Ward aka Hitmaka.
Well, what Diddy alleged said did not sit well. Therefore, Hitmaka alleged said Diddy,
“done lost his whole mind talking bout R&B dead. It’s so much good R&B out if u can’t notice u gotta be outta touch. Stop trolling.”
In an alleged deleted tweet Hitmaka may have mentioned Diddy is out of touch. In other words, Diddy is not in tune with today’s R&B music. But I don’t know if Hitmaka’s assumptions are accurate.
Especially since Diddy has used some R&B music in his songs. On another note, R&B could never be dead. Of course, R&B music is not highlighted like hip-hop.
In addition, R&B may not receive as much radio play as hip-hop. But to admit R&B is dead is really not true.
Diddy done lost his whole damn mind talking bout R&B dead.
It’s so much good R&B out if u can’t notice u gotta be outta touch.
Stop trolling 🫠 🙏🏽☔️

More importantly, there are many R&B entertainers who promote the genre. If it were not for R&B there would be no hip-hop. So, how can any comparison be made? R&B and hip-hop are so intertwined.
It may not be possible to have one without the other. Not to mention, a lot of hip-hop artists have sampled plenty of R&B songs. For example, the late R&B singer James Brown’s music was sampled at least 7,413.

Clearly, R&B will never be dead. What say you?
