Episode #970
I Only Listen to 90s Music: Do Your Job (Joe vs. Donell Jones Verzuz, Essence’s R&B List, Jermaine Jackson, and More) Is TRASH,
The I Only Listen to 90s Music crew is back, and this episode is packed with R&B debates, 90s nostalgia, wild music history, and some lists that have everybody asking questions. We kick things off previewing the upcoming Joe vs. Donell Jones Verzuz and breaking down who really has the catalog advantage. Is Joe the favorite, or does Donell have enough classics, songwriting credits, and surprises to pull it off? Then we get into Raygun’s upcoming documentary, whether the world really needs another chapter of the Michael Jackson biopic, and somehow end up pitching the Jermaine Jackson movie nobody asked for but everybody would watch. We also discuss the viral fake Usher, Lionel Richie taking shots at Usher and Chris Brown, and the bigger question of which legendary artists have officially entered their “old man yelling at the clouds” era. Then it's time for some serious R&B arguments. Which songs have officially been overplayed at R&B nights? Are DJs leaning too heavily on Tevin Campbell, SWV, Mint Condition, Fantasia, Usher and the same handful of classics instead of digging deeper into the catalog? The debate gets even hotter when we review Essence's Top 50 R&B Songs of All Time. Kehlani's “Folded” already among the greatest R&B records ever? Ari Lennox over legendary records? And how do you make an all-time R&B list without Bobby Brown? The crew has questions.
