90s r&b - what are five albums people should have in their collection??

[Worthless Loser]

Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite is a must. One of the best albums of the 90's. Neo-Soul heaven.

Wanna post some shyt that hasnt been posted so.

Nope. I really had to just pull that album up on Wikipedia to see the tracks. That’s how forgettable that shyt was/is to me. I remember some of the songs now that I’ve seen them.

That album is nowhere close to OIAM. Not even a little. Aaliyah is on a completely different stratosphere. OIAM is iconic. Single handedly changed R&B in the late 90s.

What’s so great about Enter The Dru? It didn’t do nothing but produce four suspect nikkas whose sexuality we still questioning like 20 years later

Aaliyah was never in a different stratosphere than Dru Hill. Dru Hill was the best R&B group in the game for a few years. Aaliyah was never the top R&B chick

Aaliyah may not have been the #1 chick BUT she was definitely a heavyweight.

You still disagree?

The heavyweights were Mary J, Mariah, Janet, and Toni. Aaliyah was a middle weight

Mariah, Janet, Whit were in their own league. Mary J, Toni, Aaliyah was right below them in the second tier.

Tough call

Mary J Blidge - Share My World
Brandy - Brandy
Dru Hill - Enter the Dru
D' Angelo - Brown Sugar
Prince - The Love Symbol (kinda cheating because it's equal parts funk, jazz and hip-hop)

I think Mary was probably the most consistent, even moreso than Mariah. Mary’s catalog is better than hers. I’d put Mariah #2, though, if I’m being objective and not blinded by the Stan in me.

Aaliyah was most definitely in that top echelon of heavyweights, though. One In A Million went double platinum in just a year’s and Are You That Somebody was massive. Aaliyah just didn’t have the consistency of music being released because she took a break after OIAM.

1. Mary
2. Mariah
3. Aaliyah
