How come Ginuwine didn't become a bigger star?

[Abstract83]

Ginuwine was a big star. When timbo stopped producing for him thats when he fell off.

What are not legitimate singles?

Tribute to a Woman and Just Because.

After his parents died back to back he started popping pills, him & timbo started beefing, not to mention he married Sole. If you a sex symbol that's the last thing your female fans wanna hear. Usher still ain't recover from that last marriage lol

Damn didn't even know about the drug situation...

Nope. Tim stopped fukkin wit him before he even revealed that. Tim got mad that he wanted to go a different direction for his album and didn't want ALL Timbaland production. He only wanted like 3 or 4 Timbaland produced tracks. Tim wasn't feelin that shyt and flat out didn't answer his calls.

I can kind of understand that from Timbo but it sounds kind of petty from him at the same time.

Y'all are tripping. SAME OL' G is fukking classic. How young are you guys? In the 90's and early 2000's every girl, black, white, Asian, would've died to give Ginuwine their panties. Ginuwine was a sex symbol. I remember when Pony came out, MTV played that video every hour on the hour.

His career cooled off. No doubt, when Usher came and crushed the buildings. But Ginuwine was a fukking star!

Magic Mike was a big hit, because of females. But also when PONY came on in the trailer it took all those girls back to the 90's. Channing Tatum was no dummy, he was smart to play PONY in the first MAGIC MIKE trailer. That was great marketing by him. I was too young to go, but PONY might've been the strip club anthem of the 90's.

Ginuwine didnt fall of when Timbaland stopped producing for him. The Life album only had 1 Timbo beat and went platinum and "Differences" is Ginuwines biggest billboard hit

I bought ginuwine's first 2 albums during their initial runs. Ginuwine was a star,but he never reached usher's level for multiple reasons.
1. As many have already said,he was older and marketed that way.

2. We can't blame it on age solely cause kell's was also a grown man but he made waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better music than ginuwine.
Basically ginuwine did as good as his singles allowed him too.
I'm a big fan but his huge records are far and few between so he couldnt remain where PONY took him.
He only has one song on that PONY level,pony itself. Has a bunch of other songs i love but none on that level.

So Differences wasn't huge

 

[darealvelle]

I thought ginuwine and timbo was beefing because of ginuwines management team at the time 550

after his parents died he made top 5 one of the greatest r&b albums I ever heard

 

[McPiff]

Did i just read somewhere in this thread that Timbo was a nobody at some point ?

It did well. And i love it.

He was a multi platinum artist but most of his fans were black people. Nobody said he was a flop but he wasnt MAINSTREAM like Usher was.


Usher has an overall bigger fanbase because his music also has pop influences. He got them cac fans too.



Gins music was too hood..

@spliz I'm mad u gave this a dignified response

Da fuk does the bolded have to do with him being mainstream

Usher was bigger as many have said due to being younger. Up until confessions they were about the same. Usher caught fire with that album & is now looked at as bigger. After that album usher went back to where he was at 8701 as far as R&B popularity

Usher really does owe lil Jon & Luda ALOT
