@AP2.5 already ask this question.......
........and the answer is Yes.
Did Bryson Tiller's "Trap Soul" start the decline of real RnB?
I couldn't think of a better title to express my thoughts. Maybe "what happened to the RnB love ballad" I got on the Tiller train probably right after it started to pull into the station. I had heard "Sorry no sorry" but wasnt trying to check for the whole project, then i heard "Don't", and was...

I still don't know if they were serious when they made this, but I laugh every time I see it.

I was trying to put my middle daughter on to Sade like "This is what singing really sounds like" 'cause her only real reference is Beyonce.
^^^ Beyonce could never.
Jodeci might've looked and dressed like they also worked a corner in west Baltimore. But their music was nothing like that really.

R&B went on the decline the instant looks mattered more than talent.
You can also blame folks like Diddy, Collipark and Simon Crowell for this bullshit.
but mainly Simon Cowell…

There's plenty of r&b acts that still make traditional r&b music and don't rely on half singing half rapping or that whisper voice shit. If you're talking about what's pushed as mainstream then yeah that's way different than what most of us grew up knowing as r&b but the real singers are still very much out there.
I also have a personal theory that as Black folks moved away from church and singing in the choir that's also led to a lack of people being able to truly hone their voice because ain't no training ground like being in a choir for a true singer.

I remember when BET had shows like Midnight Love/After Dark. I think they also used to air it around 12 at noon too. It used to be R&B and Neo Soul on that show
RnB died because the genre is boring and the sound gotten stale and it doesn't sale.
Then rappers because RnB singers, guys like Future and Drake were able to make captivating songs while occupying this Hip Hop/RnB.
Then the Weeknd and Alt-RnB singers like FKA Twigs and Tinashe with a new and fresh perspective on how to do RnB and once they left the genre, it died again.
Basicaly, once Hip Hop took over as the most popular genre in America, RnB died.
