In this episode of 'Billboard Unfiltered,' Billboard staffers Carl Lamarre, Trevor Anderson and Kyle Denis discuss who the new rap big three are, why Tommy Richman's debut album flopped, the current state of R&B and more.
Carl Lamarre:
Uzi was in those conversations, I feel like Lil Baby was in those conversations too.
Trevor Anderson:
You know, A&R Twitter, PR Twitter, Twitter management are sitting there thinking “what?”
Kyle Denis:
The artists are the problem, because there have been great R&B moments in recent years.
Carl Lamarre:
Hey, what's going on guys? Welcome to a new episode of 'Billboard Unfiltered' and here we have the gang. Trevor Anderson, Kyle Denis.
Kyle Denis:
Me, me, me.
Carl Lamarre:
No Damien Scott. He's getting better but he'll be back. We want to start the show because I know you were out.
Trevor Anderson:
I didn't want to say it, but…
Carl Lamarre:
We need to do a quick “happy birthday” section, you know, a little bit of singing.
Trevor Anderson:
What, a little two-part harmony?
Kyle Denis and Carl Lamarre:
*singing*
Carl Lamarre:
I could have gone all the way in. Wow, we gave you something, something.
Kyle Denis:
We're giving you a little preview. We are thinking of all the viewers right now.
Trevor Anderson:
Yeah, the first show was, You're Old, and yeah, it was really good. There wasn't anything crazy all in one, but there were a couple of events over a couple of different days. I had to go out with a lot of different friends.
Keep watching for more!
