on this topic, i read an article somewhere that in 40 years producers are gonna be ****** cuz we're sampling 70s 40 years later, if they're trying to sample our era in 40 years they're gonna have a real hard time.
I dont really listen to modern soul. The last great R&B artists ended with that Philly Neo Soul movement. Are you familiar with Dam Funk from Stonesthrow. He's more of a rapper but the funk can't be denied.
