what's good with devante swing? i'm sure he still gets royalty checks for songs that have sampled or either interpolated jodeci songs but the last thing "new" i know he was on was quik's groove 7, "quikstrumental" back in 06'. it's almost been 10 years since that now :damn:

does he still write and or produce? does he ghostwrite and or ghost produce? i can't imagine bein' that musically gifted and not doin' any music at all. what's good?

i mean, bruh even wrote and produce for the legendary, al green :wow:

damn, i forgot all about this :snoop:

I dont think he produced or wrote it though.

He looks really bad, I'm assuming from drugs, etc....which is sad b/c he was a nice looking guy before(nh). ALL the girls/women liked him back in the early 90's. On top of this, he wrote, produced and arranged all those Jodeci's slow jams. That alone is incredible.

Some of that great talent has to still be there if he could get his mind right.

yeah, i highly doubt he wrote anythin' pertainin' to that song.

but yeah, years of drugs definitely taken their toll however the very last time i saw him was here with the jacksons and flavor flav

Dude was an R&B genius from like '93-'96, and then got weird as hell.

His ear was crazy though! The homie had Timbaland, Missy, Ginuwine and Static puttin' in work before people even knew they existed. The Sista album he produced is one of those rare gems too. Really dope mid-'90's R&B. His run was way too short, but he did a lot of damage.

RnB just ain't the lane no more they got to wait a few more years before those reunion tours can pop until then everybody turning into the Husle or whatever tryna get a check. Don't forget what we were seeing of these older cats lifestyles was label financed rental image. 2-3 hits a year is not going to sustain you above Mr. Tire manager level. I think he talented as all get out tho don't get it twisted it's just when you see somebody looking bad ask yourself were they ever doing good or was whoever was renting their stuff for em doing good
