didnt know he wrote fine china for breezy lemme see for usher and disrespectful for trey and mila. coz they among my favorite songs. i got lil more respect for Eric B now.

songwriting is underrated as hell... these guys are the real deal

Happy for his nod for New Flame in the Best R&B Song category. I'd put up there with Ester, Ne-Yo, James Fauntleroy, Stacy Barthe, Rico, Elijah just to name a few.

All this talk lately about culture appropriation, but I'll point out another point of view on it. Listen to what Eric said in the beginning of the video, he said RnB dudes still writing about baby or I love you are dead. The "hit songs" are more hiphop than RnB. So what he really saying is black people are throwing away RnB. Sam Smith though is singing about love and baby but when he does it people want to call that culture appropriation. Sam Smith just pick up something black people are throwing away. Black radio didn't break John Legend's All of Me or Pharell's Happy they were broken on Top 40 and Adult Contemporary formats. The thing is is though when you look at those hip hop RnB records with their vulgar lyrics they don't do as well as the traditional records. They don't do well on the Hot 100 and they really don't get much play outside of the US because a lot of countries won't even play those types of songs. These artist think they winning but they only winning because the bar is low. Chris Brown's Loyal as big as a hit as it was ain't got shit on Forever when you look at the numbers worldwide. Black Rnb artists making this type of music is costing them entire markets around the world.

tochiRTA No, it's because the people that run urban radio and the labels are hip hop people now instead of RnB people like it was in the 90s. The late 90s and 2000s is when hip hop blew up, so hip hop people started getting the positions of power jobs at labels and radio. So they are going to look for a more hip hop sound and rap has always been more explicit and vulgar in the lyrics. When black artists make relatively clean songs they win bigger, Drake's biggest track last year was Hold On We Going Home. Jason Durelo had a bunch of hits that did better than Chris Brown's records and Durelo was talking about big butts and sex like everybody else he just did it in a clean way and his records went bigger. My point is black people are throwing away traditional RnB to make "ratchet" music. Ratchet music is limiting the audiences. All this talk about culture appropriation lately is really black artists feeling like they're losing now in the overall music scene and it's because they are losing. They are losing because of choosing to go ratchet. Usher was on The Voice man. Mainstream American TV. Why the fuck is he making songs about strippers and getting head. Everybody talking all this shit about Iggy but Fancy and Black Window are the least ratchet songs she has put out in her career and they blew up. Iggy cleaned her style up and that's why she blew up.

Literally did not hear any advice on how to write a good grammy worthy song.

These are the people that are truly talented, most of these artists are just singing someone else's songs. Scott Stortch is another example of someone who is truly talented, but dosen't get the credit he deserves.

If you're making songs just to get a Grammy… then you're doing it all wrong.

ADAJ3 A song is like a work of art. As an artist you create this piece with no intention of receiving an award. Look at the Roots for example. They've won 3 grammy's 2 of which are collabs with John Legend. You think the roots and john legend were sitting in the studio and saying "hey lets' try to make a grammy contending album?" Fuck no.

Lmao, u must be tripped out when a songwriter writes a song for you which is pretty accurate, your history wise.

His cousin is Michael Jackson

Wow I wish I had someone like him to write my songs ugh having creative block sucks lol

i like him. he's very talented songwriter

What happened to you is dope.

It's crazy how bad music has become. I can still listen to Michael jackson, Marvin Gaye, etc. winning Grammies is fools gold.

very true. & the "baby baby i love you" songs from the 1960s - 1990s STILL resonate today. i'm sure a quick hit is cool $-wise but $ + standing the test of time requires having meaningful lyrics (as you said). substance matters.

Chris writes alot for himself he also writes for riri, too, back in the days, the usher writes a lot too, but most big artists take a hit r 2 from others, and nobody turns down hit song

Nuulll he wrote disrespectful 🤭🤭

appeal to white people?

Ok, so he's wrote "hit songs," he did that, but Eric Bellinger? He screams forgettable and mediocre. His "music" sounds like everything else out there which is why he's so overlooked. He can stay in the cut and write "hits," but I want him cancelled as a solo artist.
