oh shit! artificial euro beats! talking some trash huh... =)
I don't know about any raping of any art forms.... It's obvious you feel
strongly about your opinion, but to refer to DnB being injected into RnB as
"rape" is absurd. The combining of different musical influences is what made
your sacred RnB what it is today.
Personally most of the RnB i've been hearing lately is stupid and stale as
opposed to sticky and steamy... but, you know... that's just my opinion.
Whatever the outcome i think every effort to combine every type of music
into another is all for the better!

Whatever! adding artificial and euro beats to RnB takes away all the
sticky, steamy soul and makes it impossible dance music. Leave it as it is
and stop trying to rape another art form. That remix with tribe Called
quest meets ? and he added all these displaced drum and bass beats to hip
sounded awful. Roni size on the other hand keeps in tack and takes hip hop
to Rnb, same with Diesalboy, use samples but Dnb with Rnb sounds jumbled.
