So underrated, belongs in the pantheon of great rnb with the likes of TLC and Nelly. Also surprising to hear a decent rnb song by someone from the uk cos we don't seem to get that genre at all Tbf there was that one year where Craig David was like the biggest thing in British music. If we're talkin' UK RnB jams...

Craig David was shite though, he's our biggest male in that genre, him and Lamar. Brits are just bad at that and most hip-hop as well, we just don't seem to get it (feel free to debunk this post anyone)

"Urban" music seems to be more (I don't really how else to put this) culturally esoteric with more emphasis placed some kind of authenticity of experience in gaining/keeping credibility than other genres. I think that's part of the reason why the UK has such trouble selling straight RnB and hip-hop, which are quintessentially American, back to its own market (let alone the US or anywhere else). It seems to do far better when it comes up with its own variations like garage, grime, dubstep, etc. (even going back to trip-hop come to think of it).
America also has a significantly larger (and more spread out) ethnic minority population which probably has some sort of effect (but obviously that's difficult to quantify).
Fwiw I liked a couple of songs on Born To Do It as well as his stuff with Artful Dodger, but for the most part Craig David was awful.

Is it obvious whether I'm pissed or not?

Band of Skulls new album is tremendous. I feel like Ten Men, Nine Dead and One Dying is brilliant
