As Great As Jodeci Was, They Have Become The Most Overrated R&B Group Ever

[Deoji]

youre cosigning a guy that cant name a great non-single on that album to save his life.

stop. Big Boi better than Dre and H Town is on the same tier as Jodeci. ok

What's the problem with Get On Up? Yet you had no problem with them goofy ass new jack swing tracks on the first album?

Sounds to me like you've skimmed through the album and decided it was "goofy".

"get on up" is just aird.

and lol. what thread are you reading? we've been chitting all over jodeci's uptempos.

I won't say most overrated R and B group ever but crowning them the greatest R and B group of the 90's is a bit much.

i used to do screwmixes on tumblr and datpiff..i didnt realize how much i didnt really fukk with them until I got a request for a best of mix and had to run through their catalog...

and before you bandwagoners break into fake outrage; let me say, I was an actual fan of theres in real-time. and I still am, but I don't know how much longer its gonna last with this ever-growing stench.

2 things I love about jodeci:
- they have the best singles catalog of modern-day r&b
- on paper, theyre the goat. by that I mean, you have kc & jojo as the frontmen vocally. Devante was making a run for goat producer. Dalvin was another great musical guy in the background and he would bust his lil raps on the remixes that made you feel like the coolest dude in the world while reciting them. that starting lineup is untouchable. not just for modern r&b but that goes for any r&b group of any era. yea I said it.


2 negatives that stand out to me:
- sure they have the best singles catalog, but they don't have a real classic album. they were basically the naughty by nature of r&b, and they got away with it. out-the-park homerun singles but the albums always fell short.
- they get credit for being the pioneers of all this chit, but in reality, they were just rolling with chit that was already poppin. they didn't start any of the stuff they get credit for.

You could say Diary of a Mad Band but it was carried by the singles. Without them, it's not as exciting. Forever My Lady was actually the better album. One was new jack swing and the other was straight baby-making music.

Those are groups I have above Jodeci, but don't get me wrong that speak more to the overall quality of R and B of that era. Depends on what you like, everybody was eating.

Overrated by who? I hate threads like these. Sounds like OP is just attention whoring again with a controversial thread title. As if we need any more of those.

This

Him and his provocative and idiosyncratic opinions and criticisms

He does this shyt all the time, rather it's Aaliyah, Outkast, and now Jodeci

This nikka loves controversy for the sake of arguing. He's the Armond White of The Coli

Jodeci sounded nothing like those rnb groups of the 90s, they took a chance

Pioneered there own sound who else in the 90s did that?




Like dude said earlier the goofy new jack songs were trash but the orange and black albums were slappers through and through

one of my favorite songs ever.

but that's what? track 5? I think I only listen to one other song on that album after that.

 

[Kaypain]

What about Dru Hill, Blackstreet, SWV (if we're including the ladies), 112 (who I'm just throwing out there and wouldn't consider)

fukk outta here, Sisqo straight jacked K-Ci
