There’s always going to be the debate about what’s the best era of R&B. Typically, it goes between 70’s soul and 90’s R&B in most battles. Are you more of a Teddy Pendergrass, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder type? Or are you more inclined to play Jodeci, Mary J Blige, and Janet Jackson? Then, you have some who will lean closer towards the 2000s. Regardless, these debates ensue because people are colder on R&B today. Even artists in the genre today like Summer Walker doesn’t quite feel a lot of her contemporaries as much as the old school.Recently, Summer spoke with Jordan Rose for Complex on the Red Carpet of the VMAs. There, she’s asked about her feelings about the current state of R&B. Walker makes it known that she’s just not that into what’s being made today.

Another person shrugs that, despite her preferences, it isn’t evident in her music. “Meanwhile, her music sounds nothing like any of those artists,” they say.
