[pointproven214]

jodeci boyz 2 men and new edition

 

[dora_da_destroyer]

ehh...i never fire up BIIMen music, they had classics, but i was definitely jodeci, high-five, 112, dru hill, next type person...they just don't have anything that stands out as my personal jam

Not gonna go thru 16 pages to see if anyone else said this but

-They are apparently like still big stars in Asia. Korea, China, places like that, they are hot, and not on no oldies shyt either
-They did a bunch of US shows this summer that sold out (like 3000 seat places), some sold out so far in advance that they added 2nd shows in the same city. Wasn't cheap either, I think $60-75 for floor seats. Their three-year average is 2700+ tickets

loved the first album. was their second album slept on?

 

[daboywonder2002]

3 songs

Jodeci got Come and Talk to Me, Stay, Forever My Lady, Feenin, Cry for You, Freek'n You and Love U 4 Life, etc...
R. Kelly got Sex Me, Bump n Grind, Your Body's Callin, You Remind Me of Something, Down Low, I Can't Sleep, I Believe I Can Fly, When a Woman;s Fed Up, etc...

Boyz II Men is like Tony Toni Tone, classics and popular

but when brought up against the true GOATs of the 90s R&B scene, they just don't compare
they not fukking with Jodeci and R. Kelly, and people like that

They like A Ranks while Jodeci, R. Kelly an them are S Rank
they above A

they also don't have no 12 Play, "R. Kelly", Forever My Lady, Diary of a Mad Band, What's the 411?...

quality over quantity.

They still hold the record for the longest charting #1 record.

Yea when breaking records actually meant something. I could care less about records now cause you got Rhianna with the most number 1 singles. what does that say about our industry

 

[Black_Panther_JS]

quality over quantity.

the songs i named were both
they were all as good or better than B2M's best

 

[daboywonder2002]

Water Runs Dry, It's Hard to Say Goodbye and End of the Road are the only ones i've heard prior to checking out their discography

let's put it like this, Boyz II Men isn't as recognizable as other people because their songs aren't as iconic i guess

i could play my little brother Come and Talk to Me, Feenin, Freek'n You and Love U 4 Life and he could sing along
i could play him some Mary J. he could sing along. same with R. Kelly
a lot of songs from them

but out of Boyz II Men he could only sing along to End of the Road

i guess Boyz II Men aged badly, but IMO they don't have albums or songs as good as the best from 90s Jodeci, 90s R. Kelly and 90s Mary J.
those 3 also have music more recognizable to younger people, who doesn't know Bump N Grind?

but ask most teens to recite some Boyz II Men it's not happening

but they still are Amazing, have classic album(s) and songs

go back and listen to the first 2 albums. thats when they were really on their r and b vibe. Lonely heart, This is my heart. man that whole cooleyhighharmony album is a classic. If Water runs dry is the first boyz 2 men song you heard YOU WONT GET THE FULL EFFECT.

toss up for me. I loved Jodeci but their uptempo tracks were horrible.
