SPIN: Boyz II Men vs. Jodeci vs. H-Town vs. Silk

[Wacky D]

I liked both groups but the responses in that video are because Boys 2 Men weren't "grimey" as Jodeci in their sound. Jodeci were the "Bad Boys" of R&B while Boyz 2 men were safer/slicker enough to the point they even the large white following.

jodeci had better singles & better voices too. B2M had the better album back then, but the singles seem to have more importance on r&b.

B2M was safer but they were still hip, urban and down with biv 10 at the time. they werent as corny as they came off later on. funny thing is, theyre more hood than jodeci IRL.

jodeci ahead in the poll but

if I were to do a list of the top 5 albums out of these groups, I'm not sure that jodeci has an album that makes the cut.

Jodeci
Silk
Boyz II Men

I find myself skipping alot of Boyz II Men songs on my iPod while I normally have Silk and Jodeci on repeat.

Jodeci best songs are better than Boys II Men best songs...
Forever My Lady is Jodeci best album, and its only half good, falls off after like track 8 with all the New Jack shyt which they wasn't great at

CooleyHighHarmony shyts on any Jodeci album overall...
Christmas album is flames too

Jodeci were self contained and wrote/produced all their stuff, while B2M wrote too, but also used Babyface, Dallas Austin and others...

And the whole narrative that Boys II Men made "safe music" or "white music" is bullshyt. Their singles just crossed over, but their albums were hard overall.

There's no right answer between Jodeci and Boys II Men

H-Town and Silk can't compete...

Lose control and that 3rd album tonight are classics. Silk can definitely compete.

I didn't know the coli was such a mainstream drone hub.

I though yall was with it.

I should've put blackstreet or somebody in there. I guess h-town & silk aren't mainstream enough.
