Random, whatever happened to these guys?

They died with the 90's. Someone mentioned earlier that when the white boy bands came in the late 90's early 2000's, that's true. They made all the money and took all the thunder. Basically it was like New Edition and New Kids on the Block fiasco x5 but overall on a larger scale that effected everybody. Most of y'all would prob put Justin Timberlake in your top 5 besides artist like Levert, Maxwell, D'angelo and etc... R&B is obsolete today, we are living in a world of pop, techno and house music. Just like some say Hip Hop is dead, others say it is alive underground which might be true but that aspect is not being shown mainstream wise. Plus hip hop is based on sampling popular Soul, Funk and R&B songs. i.e. Roger Troutman, Isley Brothers and EWF. R&B is not a core foundation of hip hop but it was a grounding for it just like funk was to it and soul and so on. This generation chose not to look back because it is deemed not cool and swaggless. Give it 15-20 years and we all will get our soull back.

The Source - Day 26 Officially Announces Breakup

Posted: Jul 16, 2012 by Sean Lynch

In case you were wondering what was going on with Day 26, it's safe to say those days are long gone. An official explanation from the group was released earlier today and it looks like the group is venturing in solo lanes. Read on.

- Sean Lynch (@Kiddfuture)

“It is with great sadness and deep pain that we regret to inform you that effective immediately, Atlantic Records Platinum recording group, DAY26 have decided to take a break from the group and focus on their own individual projects. On behalf of all the members; Willie, Mike, Rob, Brian and even Que, we would like to thank all of the “fams” aka fans, dj’s across the world, promoters, radio programmers, Bad Boy Entertainment, Starstruck Management, BET, VH1 and FUSE and all DAY26 supporters in general, for your unending support throughout these years.

We would also like to acknowledge that this journey would have not been made possible without the vision and mastermind of Sean “Diddy” Combs and of course MTV Networks for making a group of unknown men, the stars that they are today.

We simply thank you from the bottom of our hearts and really want you to know that the journey does not end here. We continue to wish each other the very best and continued success in all of our individual endeavors, and all we ask of you is to please give each member a chance and the opportunity to shine in whatever they do.

…And as the saying goes, this is not a goodbye, but a simply see you later.

God bless you all,

Much Love, DAY26."

I agree with everything but, this.

It doesnt make sense on any level

I know plenty of kids born in the 90's and so on who dislike older music, but I wasn't trying to make a general statement even though it holds some weight.
