Like all genres of music, it used to be a pretty decent genre of music. It actually have some heart and soul into it and it was about problems you can relate to. And it also had an actually blues influence in it with the improvisation on the piano and some jazz and gospel influences as well.
Now R&B is this over saturated stuff that only have about 3 artists that matter - t pain, akon, and the dream and they sing about the same thing.
R&B music back then: Oh baby I really shouldn't up broke with you, I suffered the consequences. I am feeling so bad and I am feeling full of regrets.
R&B now - Shawty damn she's fly, damn she's hot, I wanna fuck her all night long AYYYYYY
Decent current R&B - Mariah Carey, Amerie, Charlie Wilson, etc.

A R&B, urban pop, and melodic hip-hop station that is played on XM-Sirius. It used to be identical to The City and The City was way better because we have some mixtapes and real hip-hop, not this half fast Nelly type pop type crap that is not even hip-hop, but it is more pop. Now it plays a lot of good stuff that is liked by teenage girls and young adult girls that think Lil Wayne is the best guy who hit the planet. Not as hardcore as the other rap stations and it is more appropriate for the work world.
The Heat is gay - bring back the City. Fuck the Heat.

A quick way to sneak your porn. The small screen could be hidden in your hand and you'll look like you have been listening to music.
I am watching Test Drive on my ipod video and my girlfriend doesn't even know it

A pretty decent rapper who was most notable for the song "Low" and "In The Ayer". A lot of his songs uses samples from older songs and he raps about hitting the club and getting laid with the strippers, or putting your hands in the ayer. He tries to make the '90s party dance hit sound in a lot of his songs. Some of the older songs he taken was the guitar riff from "Crazy Train" in "Low", "Right Round" is just a cover song from the original Right Round with the rap to it. "Sugar" uses the riff from Eiffel 65 "Blue". He has very pornographic lyrics in his music (which one doesn't) and has the signature triplets in his rhymes.
Flo Rida is the guy who made low.

A great way to patronize high school kids that are not part of the "cool clique" or the standards of a socially normal teenager or kid, which means the kid is the star quarterback of the football team or not dating the hot cheerleaders. Usually these people will do very well in the adult world and they will get pretty good paying jobs, but the school system found another reason to add more money to the special ed program to create jobs for people that should be working at McDonalds helping these kids "act cool", which could be learned by a few ass kicking by the popular gang.
Usually kids are labeled with Asperger Syndrome...think typical nerd or dork, paces around, thinks about something besides sex but masturbates and wishes he could get sex, maybe obsessing on something not cool, watches Spongebob (there is something about Asperger Syndrome and Spongebob, or any socially inept kid), using correct English and not street slang, but made even more dorky with a disability. There is a dime of dozen of these kids and that actually adds diversity to high school or middle school. We need kids that are socially inept and can't get the chicks. Propaganda for discrimination and makes the popular group more snotty and the teachers that suck up to the popular group.
Joe discusses Pokemon non-stop and watches Spongebob, but can't get laid with Brittany...he must has Asperger Syndrome.

Will be one kickass year. It will be one of the best years in recent memories and it will be the eye of the storm before 2011 and 2012. I think things are going to get a little queasy during 2011 and of course, 2012 will be close Armageddon, but not the end times. We will survive 2012.
Willl be the best year since 2007 and it will be a lot like the carefree times of 2004 and 2005. Maybe the health care industry might go down the tubes in 2010 if Obamacare was passed or we won't get some big fat terrorist attack, which will unlikely happen imo but for the rest...the usual hurricane and dead Pope type stuff like 05. Nothing really to worry about.
2010 for sure will pwn 2009s ass. Celebrity deaths, wannabe terriorists, and swine flu. I have enough.

Supposedly the next decade and this is what I can see coming.
It will be a lot more conservative than the 2000s and there will be a backlash of the liberal views of the late 2000s, which are starting to fail.
The 2010s will have a more focus on family and true friends. People will start having more kids as opposed to 1-3 kid families in the last few decades. TV will become more down to earth and something worth watching. We will be seeing more variety shows and sitcoms, and reality shows are going to be more "realisic" as it was in the 1990s or just die out. Game shows will become more popular along with talk shows and talk radio. Movies will become classics because people would rather see a good movie that is worth their money, not just another blockbuster film, remake, or sequel.
Technology will become more handy and not as much as a "glam" thing or "status symbol" as in the 2000s. Albums and even vinyl will come back...downloading off of iTunes will die out. The internet will become something that will be snuck into stuff and more of an business/informational tool than a social toy. Wireless networking will becoming more widespread and high speed internet will be cheaper.
Music will be more talented and more dance/electronica. Fashion will start being glam and bling, and more brighter colors and nice looking fabrics and designs than actually wearing a label. Ravers will be all over the place.
The 2010s will be better than 2000s
