To be fair...

Would the songs have been classics without the ad libs though

Yep the ad libs help songs become hits because they are catchy.

I never got that impression I felt like they were both liked equally. But maybe in your circle it was like that but not mine

They were both liked but I see and got more people who about jodeci presently. I see a stronger nostalgia for them than BIIM,

Secondly jodeci was more "ours" if that makes sense. Jodeci = urban r&b, BIIM = pop/r&b

None...yet. I set the DVR to record the series to watch later.
What are your thoughts?

Excellent movie series!! Very well done!

Damn shyt looks dope actually. I'm gonna check for this one.

It is dope.

It earns its happy endings. It earns its positive moments. It feels its negative moments.

I'm glad I caught it. Thank you to the Coli. I ain't watched BET in years, but this was worth it. It's a very well done mini-series. Props to everybody involved. Wish the Emmys would recognize it.


/why wasn't Aaliyah's story like this?

I'm on my Black love and self-esteem to the max....



But those fresh S-curls had a pro-black beauty breh tempted to do the unthinkable...

The pro-black love permeated this from start to finish.

Jodeci >> BIIM in the black community...well the black community that was 25/30 and under during their runs. No one would argue that BIIM wasnt the bigger act, they had a broader audience with white folks and people my parent's age who saw them as a continuation of the soul groups they grew up with. My parents weren't listening to no damn jodeci, but they and my aunt owned them BIIM albums. Kids also had BIIM albums, but you'd be hard pressed to find a parent buying jodeci for their 8 year old daughter.

You can't take pure sales when it comes to measuring love and impact on the black community.

This is Real Talk.

Damn I didn't know that existed. I don't think the audience is feeling it, but the fact she singing it puts all that flop shyt to rest.

Selena is definitely one of The Prototypes of the Down Latina. RIP to the Queen.
