R&B is a genre that ordinarily caters to love, sensuality, and all of the other things one experiences when in a relationship. But there’s another side to these emotional, lovey dovey tunes that selected artists have made there bread and butter.

That would be those who flourish when singing about all things s-xual, raunchy and topics of the like. This has always been a piece of R&B, but in the last 25 years, a bevy of artists have built full blown careers on this brutally honest music.

We assume that there has to be a certain freedom in being able to say exactly what many men think on wax. Not to mention how much better these otherwise inappropriate lyrics go over because they are being sung rather than rapped.

In any case, see a list of 10 individuals — young and old — that have shown a mastery of that lane.
