Angie Stone, Glenn Lewis, Chico Debarge, Lyfe Jennings, and mad other ones were all either criminals already or were catching cases while they were dropping albums.

The Neo Soul singers and the underground head wrap rappers were worst than the so-called gangsta rappers in the 90's, lol.

Still here
All here. Every indie or known neosoul artist has been here.


90s style Rnb is dead. Neosoul is not.

Neo Soul was good… there was still love in the music.

Looking back on it, those Neo Soul singers were sluts on the low, no different than those conscious cats like Kweli and Mos.


Jaguar Wright= Getting ran through by The Roots, Kweli, and Common

Erykah Badu= The black Gwenneth Paltrow(iykyk)

Jill Scott= A Super Freak hiding under food

Music, Maxwell and D’Angelo might be the only ones in that genre who didn’t go crazy

Lyfe Jennings was Shyne Po with a guitar… :pachaha:


He should’ve ran with the scumbag image during his early career, not late.



Him and Jaheim are the only singers
iMo with albums that u can bump like a rapper

That whole album had heat…


Bilal should have had a better career though.

I feel like Interscope didn’t really push him enough. It didn’t help that shelved his next album either.


A label like J Records would have been decent for him. Either that or Motown


The label held him down. This was his first single




Seems like they believed in him but nobody else did. Outside me and my homie I don’t know anyone else who fukked with Bilal at the time. :manny:
