Male R&B Mt. Rushmore......Do yall agree?

[jawnswoop]

 

[dbluesun]

Fuck no

 

[tonydons2]

Hell nah

Teddy P
Marvin
R Kelly
Prince
MJ

 

[jawnswoop]

Hell nah

Teddy P
Marvin
R Kelly
Prince
MJ

That's a great list.

I would've made my list the same as well.

 

[tonydons2]

Luther
Stevie

 

[EchoCrash]

Marvin
Luther
Prince
MJ

 

[TheFuser]

Fuck no!

Stevie
Marvin
Sam Cooke (there's no Stevie, Marvin, Luther, D'Angelo, etc without this man)
Luther

If we gotta add someone contemporary, it's Usher.
I'd swap out someone for Michael Jackson if we're considering him R&B and not Pop.
Same with Prince. He was a mixture of Rock, R&B, Soul, Pop.
Kelz would've been on there, but...
I'd say Babyface has an argument, too, between his own catalog and all the R&B hits he's written.
Ain't mad at anyone who puts Teddy Pendergrass on

 

[jawnswoop]

There's a lot of R&B singers who should be on that Rushmore which would be more than 5.

 

[babydaddy]

no luther and stevie. kill the list.

 

[EchoCrash]

You could replace Ne-Yo’s dolphin ass with El Debarge.

 

[BlackGoku]

What do we consider James Brown because yall got me out here Major Valchek on the Wire. "I'm not seeing James Brown's name in here.

 

[jack walsh13]

It's a fuckin diegrace to have Ne-Yo on this list when a man named Marvin Gaye graced us with his talents. People are just fuckin idiots.

 

[Coldchi]

tha fuck NeYo and Breezy on there for? is this a joke??
I consider MJ more pop than R&B

 

[APOPHIS]

Raphael Saadiq is incredibly prolific and soulful, but his discography/hit singles can't hold weight against those nominated.

Muthafuckas smokin' dat shit.

After thriller, yes. That Jackson five and off the wall were prototype R&B.

 

[BlackGoku]

Dangerous is more R&B as well

 

[EchoCrash]

Dangerous is more R&B as well

Agree.
(Gotta listen to that album tomorrow.)

 

[SamSneed]

Mike stands alone

 

[dugington]

Without Stevie or Luther, the whole shit is pointless.

 

[EchoCrash]

Is we done or is we done?

 

[34real]

No,Chris,Usher,Neyo ain't did enough to even be talked about and MJ is pop.

Babyface needs to be up there and everyone else you can argue about.

Babyface,Marvin,Sam,Stevie and maybe Donny.....it can change a lot of ways.They say Sam was pop but had he lived

 

[WattDogs]

What the hell?

Where's Ice JJ Fish? Sean Fury?

This list ain't shit without those two legends!!

Nah, seriously though, no James Brown? Al Green? Prince? Smokey Rob? Stevie Wonder? Curtis Mayfield? Donny Hathaway?

Now that I think about it...it might be too many R&B legends to ever have a Mt. Rushmore....

 

[BlackGoku]

Without Stevie or Luther, the whole shit is pointless.

I can make an argument for Ray Charles on this list as well...man, we need to do like the moons of Saturn to get everyone..lol

 

[BlackGoku]

What i just said. We could probably do it by decade

 

[keith6]

Muthafuckas smokin' dat shit.

Are those venetian blinds? I can't tell!

 

[Tdot_firestarta]

Peace,

Son i laughed so fucking hard and loud when I saw Ne-Yos face on that shit that I got a cramp on the side of my neck

Then my laughter turned into anger...I kinda feel like putting hands on whoever made this shit..

NeYo and No Marvin, Sam, Teddy, Luther Frankie Beverly, David Ruffin, Curtis mayfield?!

Teddy P
Sam Cooke
Marvin
Luther

 

[Mr. Met]

Michael ain’t been R&B since Off the Wall.

Ne-Yo has how many hits?

The other two ain’t the strongest singers.

We need another template than Mt. Rushmore to define greatness.

It’s illogical at this point.

 

[Z MONSTER]

Mike yeah, the other three....

 

[blackman80]

My list will be

Marvin
Luther
R Kelly
Teddy P

 

[therealjondoe]

Nobody mention Ron Isley ?

 

[blackman80]

Nobody mention Ron Isley ?

Or Al Green!!...

 

[jawnswoop]

Nobody mention Ron Isley ?

Or Al Green!!...

I made a Part 2 thread asking the same question with a different list. I would like for y'all to check it out.

Thread 'Part 2, Male R&B Mount Rushmore Luther Vandross, Babyface, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder...Do y’all agree?'
