exactly. alotta nikkas do that on purpose i think it's lowkey a mainstream industry tactic. Like how some nikkas pop shyt, boost hype, then apologize after the fact like they ain't know what they was doin 
Had like 5 music videos come out on top of that, and this album was coming off of 8701 which was huge in 2001. When an artist's last album was huge everyone automatically checks for the next one. Like imagine 2 years from now if you hear kendrick's working on some shyt. The whole country/world will be like 
Dude u serious? JD was bitin heavy. Kriss Kross and ABC. Da Brat and Snoop. This shyt is a known fact JD has no shame. Lol I fukk wit JD I think he's dope but dude was comin out wit carbon copies of other artists.
I been wanting to do a thread about the amount of features artists like Lil' Wayne, Drake, Nicki Minaj, Chris Brown, & etc. have done in their careers compared to artists when I was growing up in the late 90's-mid 00's. I feel like back than artists mostly did features with only artists on the same label. Def Jam did this a lot.Thank you. These dumb ass threads from these uninformed kids who weren't even around or alive when shyt was popping acting like armchair A&Rs 20 years later. Ginuwine was a huge star. The thing about that time was there were about 4-5 others also. You know when R&B music was worth a fukk.He was huge what are you taking about? How old are you
yea i remember those DefJam "player/ hater" days.
I can't remember the slogan i gotta google it
JR Smith? Word?.
My nikka made Pony...Same Ol G...Differences...In Those Jeans...His first 2 albums were underrated classics. At least give the homie an all-star player.. Usher/Ginuwine was a legit argument in 90sDont shyt on homie like that.
I tell you what...you drop Pony at a party today and it set shyt off harder than any Usher record.
Ginuwine is T-mac...had a spark when he started then...you know...but before his back and knees gave out, T-mac or Kobe was a legit conversation.So was Usher/Ginuwine
Matter fact, I remember that joke on Steve Harvey show where Steve said something about Regina listening to Usher and she was likeits all about Ginuwine
That counts
nikka are u retarded? Tevin Campbell was marketed as a young MJ by Quincy jones himself VOCALLY. But that shyt switched as soon as he hit his growth spurt. But it was VOCALS that was compared. I'm talking about dancing with Ginuwine. He was a damn MJ impersonator before he got on. He came in the game doin MJ moves n shyt and ain't no solo RnB artist was doin that shyt in the mid 90s. Like I said. U have NO IDEA what the fukk u talkin bout. Ain't u the same nikka who said Mario 64 wasn't groundbreaking? If not forgive me but if u are..Lol man fukk outta here u wrong about damn near everything u talk about.
That's what these nikkas don't understand. Just cause he wasn't the TOP selling RnB artist. He was still a big artist and there was a lot to choose from back then. shyt Jay Z was never the highest selling rapper. But to deny he was a big artist is stupid.
Peachez n Cream/ dance with me/ Walked out of heaven/ Where the party at? =Next you fools are going try and tell me Jagged Edge and 112 weren't big in the 90's/early 2000's
I'm surprised nobody else brought this up being a major factor.
