YouKnowIGotSoul has partnered up with some of R&B’s biggest names as well as some music experts for the first ever R&B draft. With so many great R&B acts that came out of the 80’s, 90’s and 2000’s, wouldn’t it be cool to see who could assemble the best record label from that whole roster? Everyone at some point has dreamed about being a label executive. There have been so many great moments for the genre, so we’re taking this opportunity to highlight some of them.
Here are the rules:
1. The artists must have debuted in 1980 and over.
2. If an artist has gone solo, you are choosing them strictly for their own music (Beyonce vs Destiny’s Child).
3. We assume all artists are in their prime but longevity is a factor too.
4. It is a snake draft format. (The last pick in the first round goes first in the second round).
5. No trades are allowed.
6. This is a 6 round draft.
Enjoyed this alot. Lol had me laughing.
This is a fantastic list, but I have to give it to Carvin Haggins. LOVE is for me by far one of the all time greatest songs. His music is the essence of soul.
Throwing up the white flag this is unfair LOL
This was very interesting but sheesh this was very hard to decide but I voted! What great artists they are!
You know I got soul list is crazy. R.Kelly cataluoge alone whether he written for himself or others most of whom are on this list gotta be number1. Mary J queen of hip hop soul longevity and a good amount of hits. NEW Edition arguably the greatest group with longevity and albums, hits, performance all across the board seen it all done it all. Toni Going through each artist in this draft you could make a strong case that her debut album may have been better and bigger than anyone on this list with the exception of Whit. Brian McKnight definately one of the most talented musicians on this list who is a wild card who can hit you with a hit out of no where. Miss on and on Badu queen of the movement we once called Neo soul which was just the resurgence of soul Like Brian a wildcard who can come up with a hit out of no where.
