Top 10 Worst R&B Songs of All Time
Surprised there wasn't a list for this yet, as there have been many truly terrible attempts at R&B over the years.
So let's do it. Let's document some of the lowest moments in R&B music, songs that make real soulful R&B heads like myself cringe hard every time.
-
Thong Song - Sisqó
I could go into detail about why this "song" sucks, but then again some things just speak for themselves, so I don't really need to.
-
Bump, Bump, Bump - B2K
Remember when Omarion was actually a credible R&B singer with good vocals? Yeah, me neither.
-
I Hit It First - Ray J
Ray J was by no means ever a good R&B artist or vocalist, but this "song" demonstrated how bad he truly was more than any critic or vocal expert ever could.
Originally, I had considered adding "Sexy Can I" to this list since it was so overplayed in 2008 and I hated it, but then I remembered that this musical atrocity exists.

Shawty is Da Sh*t! - The-Dream & Fabolous
This is the kind of dream I'd like to wake up from immediately!
-
Eric Bellinger - Eric Bellinger
One of Eric's worst songs, and that says a lot.
Edit: I think it's funny how they won't let me add a sample for this song on here, since it definitely is on iTunes. It's almost as if TheTopTens doesn't want people to hear how bad this truly is, which is kind of hilarious.
-
Do Me! - Bell Biv DeVoe
Poison was cool but this? Na!
Truth is, Johnny Gill was the only one in New Edition who could "really" sing. These guys definitely didn't deserve to make a whole album, let alone 3 or 4.
-
Marry the P***y - R. Kelly
He ain't the king of R&B no more after this. Let's give that title to Joe or Brian McKnight instead.
-
I Don't Mind - Usher
Well, I do mind. I mind that he made this terrible song and tried (and failed) to be sexy.
He ain't the king of R&B either!
-
Creep - TLC
-
Blame It - Jamie Foxx
So somehow this actually won a Grammy? I'm still pretty confused about that.

Money Everywhere - RSVP

Moist - Eric Bellinger
-
I Admit It - R.Kelly
-
Twerkoholic - B. Smyth
-
Show Me - Omarion
Not only is Omarion a terrible singer to begin with, but guess what? He brought along the equally untalented Jeremih (more like Jere-meh) for this sleep-inducing attempt at being sexy.
And guess what? It was terrible, just as you'd expect!
-
She Knows - Ne-Yo
Yes, I'm sure she knows that this song is trash.
The true moment when Ne-Yo's fall from grace was clear.
-
Post to Be - Omarion
When Chris Brown ends up being the most enjoyable part of your song, you know it's truly bad.
-
Down on Me - Jeremih
-
2 Reasons - Trey Songz
-
Obsessed - Mariah Carey
-
Apple Berry Nana - Eric Bellinger
-
Cookie - R. Kelly
-
No Limit - Usher
-
Loyal - Chris Brown
-
Sexy Can I - Ray J
-
Break Up - Mario
-
Say Ahh - Trey Songz
