I'm not projecting. You're the one who called Rihanna, Usher, and The Weeknd rappers
Yes you are, considering I never said that.

It is a fact that both genres stem from the same roots. R&B stems from the blues in the 40s and 50s and HipHop emerged from R&B directly in the 70s. Its really not even up for debate.

You seem to be the only one debating it.
ETA: That still doesn’t make them the “same thing” though.

Super Bowl is for bored white women and cubicle bros with fantasy/pick-em leagues. It's a garbage product and has been for a long time.
Some shitty rapper sounds about on point.

very mainstream pop acts to acts like Kendrick Lamar and Bad Bunny
Huh? Kendrick Lamar and Bad Bunny are like the very definition of mainstream acts.

Denying that Hip/Rap and R&B are in the same orbit is pretty wild.
Same root, but very different musically.
R&B wasnt nearly as trashy and simple as its descendants.

The NFL playoffs and Super Bowl are probably the best sports productions in the World, maybe rivaled only by the Men’s World Cup. The Olympics could also be in the conversation, maybe. Posted on 9/29/25 at 9:43 am to Mo Jeaux

Do you just mean historically and predominantly produced by black artists?
You can frick off with that simple-minded shite.
Trying to argue that Rihanna and Usher are in some COMPLETELY DIFFERENT music realm from rap and hip hop is fricking insane.
Usher's biggest hit is Yeah! with Lil' Jon and Ludacris.
Two of Rihanna's biggest three hits are with rappers (Eminem and Jay Z).

How are Kendrick and Bad Bunny NOT mainstream acts?

Even if you ignore the streaming numbers, Bad Bunny has hosted SNL numerous times, was in a pretty popular movie within the last few months, and has even dated a Jenner. To act like he is some obscure artist is laughable.
If he did a US tour right now it would be the second biggest ever behind the Eras Tour.

You seem upset by this. They are in fact artists in different musical genres.

Metallica is also a rap artist, because metal came from rock which came from blues, just like hip hop > R&B > Blues

The genres are still vastly different.

fun bunch is right about the Jay-Z thing…however I am hard pressed to think of a band or musician right now that’s not pop or rap that would appeal to the masses enough to play the Super Bowl. Like I can’t think of one single rock band that would fit in with the spectacle production they want.
I saw someone mention Metallica LOL. They’re great obviously but a metal band ain’t going to play the super bowl

I wasn't until you tried to make it racial.
And musical genres are fluid with gray areas. Trying to act like there are strict categories is stupid.
If you record with rappers, tour with rappers, have your biggest hits with rappers, occasionally rap yourself - don't get upset when you get lumped in with rappers and hip hop.
