SIDENOTE: I actually think The Blueprint 2 is pretty good...especially the second CD...

I forget who said it but I also think that if the "powers who be" the top executives were to introduce these "underground" or not so mainstream artists to the public they would have a wider fan base. But I don't think it would be enough to compete with the mainstream artists. Call me the devil's advocate but I think R&B is doing fine. Lauryn Hill..Jill Scott, Musiq, Alicia Keyes and whoever else are definately running the airways. The less acoustic artists like Ameerie, Usher, Ginuwine etc... are making good music too. I think its good to have a mixed variety I'm not really into R&B but I know what I like and I know I'm not always in the mood for the slow tempo songs that Musiq and them put out. I mean I like them but not ALL the time.
