Ne-Yo Critiques The Current State Of R&B Music With 'The Breakfast Club'

Ne-Yo Critiques The Current State Of R&B Music With 'The Breakfast Club'

Keenan Higgins Posted August 7, 2012

Ne-Yo is not happy with the current state of modern R&B music.

During his stop at Power 105 1's The Breakfast Club, he spoke on why R&B sucks now—even saying fellow R&B crooner Trey Songz is not living up to his full potential and that the game's newbie Frank Ocean's album could have been better.

He also takes time to talk on abandoning traditional R&B for Pop Music, why he turned down the role as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in the upcoming Lee Daniels movie, how fatherhood has changed him, not getting his proper writing credits, and why he hates acting.

Ne-Yo's pretty vocal this time around! Check out the interview below:
