Interesting. I don’t really see cacs play Boyz today. But then again im rarely around them

 

[ThrobbingHood]

In terms of appeal:

Boyz 2 Men were Whitney Houston.

Jodeci were Rick James.

I’ve been to B2M concerts. A lot of CACs.

Idk but I grew up on Jodeci never got into boys to men

 

[lurker emeritus]

cause they had this dude writing their songs

 

[BmoreGorilla]

I couldn’t stand them dudes. They STAYED on the radio. End of the Road in particular. I definitely preferred Jodeci. But B2M was bigger in the black community becuz they appealed to a wider age range. Jodeci was more for the hip hop crowd

 

[Mowgli]

Boys to men made humane songs.

Jodeci were just some deviants
