[Wacky D]

had to spin a male version of the other thread.

who yall got for this era?

I know a lot of people are gonna automatically run with jodeci, but when you pull up those overall catalogs..........

shouts out to some of the other groups:
mint condition & tony toni tone = r&b bands. different lane.
hi five - teen group. different lane

there were dope groups that were in this lane but didn't get that minimum 3-album run, so they didn't make the cut.

 

[ThisIsLife]

My top 3 are Dru Hill, Boyz II Men and Jodeci.

I picked Boyz II Men though since Dru Hill wasn't an option. Dru Hill is a personal favorite even though Boyz II Men are vocally better.

It's obviously Jodeci...one of a kind talent...not many people have voices like K Ci and Jojo..K Ci especially...that nikka coulda rocked wit them old school singers...then factor in Devonte and that nikka was a musical beast...Timbaland was his protege so that should say enough...Boys 2 Men couldn't really sing that well outside of the group and harmonizing...on their own they sounded weak as fukk...Jodeci is the most talented and I don't think it's any contest...I really liked all the groups listed tho...

 

[kevm3]

Jodeci
Boyz II Men
H Town
Silk

 

[BedRoomI'z]

Every group from that era

 

[verbalkint]

That II album was heat rocks. I gotta ride with B2M on this one.

 

[943oh5]

From this era? Boyz II Men. Jodeci's best is better than Boyz II Men's, but Boyz II Men was better overall.

 

[re'up]

Should just do a a all 90's r&b thread, almost made on today. I only know Silk cuz they had that resurgence in the late 90's, I was in middle school with that 'Meeting In My Bedroom'/if You' single I 'borrowed' from my homies older sister...the rest of them are kinda before my time.

 

[theflyest]

this is gonna turn into a Boyz to Men Vs Jodeci thread, where you have two groups so different it's whatever you like. I always preferred Jodeci's music.

H-town is the shyt. They got alot of good material.

I don't consider Silk on the level of the other three.

Boys II men

 

[Wacky D]

wow.

boyz II men winning the poll 5-1-1.

My top 3 are Dru Hill, Boyz II Men and Jodeci.

I picked Boyz II Men though since Dru Hill wasn't an option. Dru Hill is a personal favorite even though Boyz II Men are vocally better.

dru hill not from that era tho.

 

[ilovejesus]

hard to choose between jodeci and boys 2 men

heres my gripes with jodeci being the unanimous champs of this era:

1.) their album catalog is the weakest of the 4 groups.
2.) there were like 3-5 other male groups putting out better albums than jodeci during the bulk of this time period that didn't even make this list.
3.) jodeci's up-tempo game was blah.

 

[Dettol]

Jodeci > Boyz II Men > Silk >>>>>> H-Town

Silk is underrated though. Lil G is a probably a top 3 lead vocalist of 90s r&b groups.

But I would take Tony Toni Tone and Mint Condition over every 90s r&b group/band, easily.

Did any of these groups have better than an average up-tempo game? Only ones I can really think of are MotownPhilly and Come and Talk to me but I wasn't the hugest R&B head back then but I did fukk with all of these groups relatively tough.


I'll prolly roll with Jodeci on this one but I always go back and forth between them and Boyz. Dino was incredibly underrated as a talent though. He shoulda went solo as soon as they fell off. Ginuwine came and took the lane that coulda been his and it was a wrap.
