Carl Thomas, Dave Hollister and Donnell Jones form R&B super group: THE CHI

[Kliq_Souf]

They are goats bro, they are goats!

All of them have a pretty good pen game, can sing forreal, and have had legit hits. Imma give em a shot.

That GOAT word getting thrown around too loosely breh
They second tier RnB acts

Hollister got one of my favorite R&B songs ever (My Favorite Girl), but didn’t he go the Gospel route at some point? Guess that didn’t keep.

Still, should be an interesting project. Hopefully it turns out well.

Hollister got one of my favorite R&B songs ever (My Favorite Girl), but didn’t he go the Gospel route at some point? Guess that didn’t keep.

Yep. He was the choir director at a church near Memphis and was preaching. Did a gospel album in 2008 and went back to R&B in 2014. He still preaches tho and he founded a church in California.

Thet are singers: as long as the voice is there, time has no effect on them.

They are different from rappers.

 

[Wacky D]

All 3 of them are R&B GOATS.

yall throw these terms around like water.

 

[Secure Da Bag]

All 3 of them are R&B GOATS.

Nah. Not GOATS. Damn good singers definitely. But GOATS, nah. I'll call them Elites though.

 

[Man On Fire]

Hope it’s not 15 years too late, but I’ll def be checking the music when it drops.

IMO - Carl Thomas’ debut “Emotional” is one of the best albums in the Bad Boy library.

Absolutely. That album works all the time

Eh, I can entertain "goat" being misconstrued and being synonymous with older and having some success. I hear what you are saying KS.

For me, catalogue, nostalgia, hype, writing credits, features (being featured on other tracks) contribute to goat status. But the true goat conversation does not happen in a vacuum. You have to look at other comparable artists at the time. I enjoy their music but they may or may not be goats. I can walk that back a little.

A Grown & Sexy album full of Have You Seen Her/One Woman Man/Giving You All My Love:

 

[LevelUp]

Dope.

 

[Tribal Outkast]

I was listening to Dave Hollister yesterday(he got jams) I’ll definitely check this out

 

[avon barksdale]

Can't wait for this..I don't know about Carl but Donnell and Dave still got it

Emotional and Where I Wanna be were two of the best albums of 00/01.

And agree, wish this was done back in 02 or some shyt, but I’ll check it

 

[Toe Jay Simpson]

We in off the strength of Carl Thomas. He would have had a hell of a career under someone who knew what to do with an R&B act.

Diddy just used his acts as glorified hook singers for his rappers
