Isn't it great that R&B music experienced a nice little surge in the Fall of '02? There's hope yet the genre will survive outside of Hip-Hop influence.

Well let's get right to it. Are you wondering...

* What's up with the rap cats dating the song birds? Jay-Z, although hard pressed to admit it publicly, calls Beyonce his honey bunny and Nas is seeing, the very underrated, Kelis. Talk about hip-hop blends!

* How Dru Hill continues to serve up hot music even though their style is primarily a mish-mash of Jodeci, Guy and Michael Jackson?

* When Ja Rule and Ashanti, the new millennium version of Marvin and Tammy, will make a solo single?

* Why songs like "Hood Rich" blow up almost immediately but Vivian Green's debut single is just now catching on after being out there for three months?

* How come it's been awhile since we heard from Maya? Maybe her funky Coke commercial duet with Common is her way of getting back on the scene. Welcome back girl!

* How Justin Timberlake is tearing it up on black radio and Donnell Jones CD came and went with barely a whisper?

* Why despite trying to stay mad at Justin you find yourself rocking his stuff anyway?

* Why Mariah Carey refuses to wear anything that hides her cleve?

* If the R&B Renaissance will last? Well look no further than the fact that Les Nubians is back with a new CD, to know that R&B in all forms is stronger than ever.

* Where in the hell Jill Scott is?
