Its appropriate to connect Devante and Suge.

Because when you think about what could of been with those two its crazy.

Had both ran their labels like actual businesses, instead of prison yards at San Quinton they'd be billionaires.

They collectively had Dre, Pac, Snoop, Missy, Timbaland, Genuwine, etc all under their wings and control. Other than Genuwine these artists are the some of the most successful in music history. Think about the power, money, and influence Suge and Devante could have amassed and wielded versus where they at today. They could have had labels that would have made motown look like Koch records.

I know and that's awful. You got to have morals and values, and those are aspects that I find to be essential parts of the character of any decent human being.

A lot of these folks fugazi though.

Stay woke!
Truth. As you said, "any decent human being". Not too many of those in the "industry".

Yup! :yes:

Yeah, that pic is from the Sista video, Brand New. I still keep this song in rotation. :ohlawd:

But yeah, these nikkas was smashing all the bad broads. T-Boz, Arnelle Simpson, N'Bushe Wright, Madonna (she still looked decent in 94') and then regular bad broads too! :whew:

Really and truly, Timbaland's influence is all over Jodeci's Diary of a Mad Band and The Show, The After Party, The Hotel.

Jodeci went from New Jack Swing type records on Forever My Lady to this new infused sound with a Hip Hop influence on DOAMB and TSTAPTH.

Timbaland was a DJ and a Hip Hop head.

I always wondered how Jodeci would've sounded without Timbaland.

The thing that made the DeVante and Timbaland collaboration great was the perfect blend of R&B and Hip Hop with melody.


Timbaland bought in them Hip Hop beats and DeVante kept it R&B and musical with melody and his vocal arrangements.
