all r&b singers?? Are you including Anita Baker, Musiq Soulchild, Seal, Anthony Hamilton, Donnie, Jaheim, Jill Scott, Dionne Farris, Dwele, Heather Headley, Boyz II Men, Maxwell, Rahsaan Patterson, Will Downing, Sade, Seal, Angie Stone, Vivian Green, Avant, Carl Thomas, K-ci & Jojo, Kenny Lattimore, Lisa Stansfield, Marc Dorsey, Regina Belle, India.Arie, Terence Trent D'arby in "all"? Even in a case where an artist (Me'Shell Ndegeocello) did get a rapper (Redman) on her single, she got minimal airplay, if any.

I meant most of the ones currently on top 40 radio. Ala Beyonce, Mya, Ashanti and co. Seems like all the r&b artists getting top 40 radio play nowadays are hooking up with currently hot rappers. I know it's popular right now, but still... there are fans out there who like one and not the other. People found Fred Durst "Selling out" for goign onstage with Christina on the VMA's a few years ago, is that different than Jay-Z working with Mariah, Beyonce and J. Lo?

I don't completely consider Seal r&b, I think he's kind of a more "hybrid" artist, someone like Prince or David Bowie where he really isn't classifyable for one genre

I love Beyonce, and I dont like her songs just because she gets rappers and stuff to sing with her. Jay-Z and her have been dating (even though they dont publicly announce it), so I dont blame her for having him work with her. And, not for anything.. but most radio stations take out the 'rap' part of songs. They did for Crazy In Love and for Lil Kims part in Lady Marmalade. Not to mention in Waterfalls.
