Brits drop Best Urban Category
With the Brits dropping the Best Urban category, does this mean this awful genre is on it's way out?
Does that mean no more listening to kids on the bus blasting out crappy r'n'b through their mono mobile phone speaker at full distorted blast? |

To be honest the Brits are a joke anyway. A lot of the acts are just the flavour of the year awards. Quite a few times you never see a act repeat the following year. Just seems a dumb idea of the Brits to drop 3 awards. Oh well, they know best |

Urban music is credited with the MOBO's and besides the Brits don't mean as much as they used to.

Why do they bother with The Brit Awards?
It's just an excuse to try and sell crap music to the masses. We've heard it all before. :yawn: Music died years ago.

Basically no its not on its way out, maybe in britain but in the us 13 out of the top 15 singles on the hot 100 are 'urban', mainly rap or r&b or a mixture of both, 5 out of the top 10 singles in the UK are also urban |

In the US, that rap crap is all you hear anytime you turn on the radio. The days of having a variety are over (in the US anyway). Hell, even Madonna can't get a hit over here anymore. "Sorry" went to #58 and "Get Together" didn't even hit the top 100! ![]() Yes, all rap is crap but Madonna should be at the top of the charts regardless. |

Gold*rapp yeah good music
The Brits as a previous poster said mean nothing now. Most of the genres are no longer true. R&B isn't real R&B anymore, Urban well..... Dance who the hell cares really Scrap the Brits re-organise it with the genres properly classified and maybe people will care about them again. |
