jodeci appreciation thread

[Craig Mack]

puff didn't produce them outside of the "come and talk to me remix"
al b sure helped devante out in the beginnin' with some writin' and producin' with the forever my lady album. not a lot but he helped them polish their sound
they had a fallin' out with andre harrell, puffy and uptown because the thought they won't gettin' paid enough so they linked up with suge on some management type shyt
they started doin' some business with suge but they were still signed to uptown/mca records though
once they started fukkin' with suge, the line was kinda drawn between them and puffy in a way but then again, jodeci's run was just about over in 95' because in 96' it was over
when i say over, i don't mean they that just fell off but they just stopped puttin out music and k-ci and jojo did their thing while devante and dalvin did a lot of work behind the scenes

This pic was in '96 I forgot which award show. But their relationship was strange

it's all about money unless things get real bad but even then, it's all about money
the entertainment business is small and in those circles of famous people, it's not many, everybody knows everybody

shyt, look at how bad the lox and puffy had fallen off and now look, over 15 some years later they right back together like shyt never went south lol
it's all about the money for those people who are apart of the industry

Word cause I remember Lil Kim telling a story how her & one of the members of Total was hanging out in a hotel & how they ran into Dalvin & JoJo, Dalvin wanted Kim on the love u 4 life remix & they offered her a couple stacks, she was gonna do it until Puff & Big came rushing through the hallway grabbing both Kim & the other chick screaming "we don't fukk with them" Dalvin & JoJo was like "it ain't that serious" playing it cool. Biggie locked Kim in a room so she couldn't leave to record her verse. So that lead Dalvin to hit up Rae & Ghost for the Freek'n you rmx.

Yup, & Dalvin said Ghost freestyled the second half of his verse, cause he was a hard time coming up with lyrics

Sista, the female Jodeci group that Devante was gonna put out but got shelved (Missy was apart of this group)

ALSO the group that inspired JD to make Xscape

Outside of Missy, one of the members became one of K-Ci's BM

i think they used some stuff from that album for the new album they put out earlier this year

they had a song that they had been talkin' bout for over 10 years called "show off" which was gone be a song bout the strip club and then on the the album there is a song called "sho out". i think it's the same song but with a different beat and or tweaked beat

here's the interview or article where they mention the song "show off" back in 06'
Jodeci Hit The Comeback Trail

listen to the song "sho out", this song sounds like "show off" song or rather same song they was talkin' bout in the interview from mtv

"sho out" this is actually 1 of 2 (the other is "incredible) of the only songs i really fukk with from the new album

The one in the middle is K-Ci's bm (she was the lead singer in Sista)

Mary had no idea he was smashing her :ChrRock:
