"Let Your Soul-Glo": The Experience Returns

[Manic]

...Sisqo is part of BB...priceless. I had heard Dru... at a Dru Hill discussion, I had heard they fell out bad. Remember when the fat brotha surprised the group on some radio interview and said he was done w/ the group...that was like 04 If I recall. Hilarity.

The fat one was Jazz.
<----Shameless Dru Hill Fan
I wonder what happened to him. He was the best singer in the group.

Maybe he'll turn up on celebrity fit club.

That he was. And 4 what its worth, as far as soul quartets go, they were stronger than Next, and Blackstreet IMO. Jodeci / Boyz2Men bein the top of the food chain.
Its just that fake David Lee Roth in Sisqo I couldn't take.

 

[RockSP]

That Dru Hill radio break up thing was more recent than '04...it had to be last year or the year before.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Dru Hill and 112 breaking up was my exit from the R&B scene

Ugh, Next was kinda whack. Yeah, I said it.

I loved Blackstreet. You know, despite the fact that the group's roster changed every single album. Dave Hollister left after the first album, which was a shame, because he was the best singer the group ever had. He had a pretty good solo album that was slept on by everyone but my step-brother, who played the living hell out of it.

Dru Hill admitted to copying Jodeci, especially in their first album.

As for Sisqo... I laugh just thinking about him. He was way too "glam rock" for a 90's R&B group. Plus R. Kelly dissed the hell out of him on his & Jay-Z's "Best of Both Worlds" album after Sisqo had the nerve to go on BET and call himself the best male R&B singer of his day. Mind you, this was before Kelly's sex tape hit the internet; everyone loved R. Kelly.

That and before R. Kelly started making horrible music.

 

[Manic]

True. The only bad song he'd made at the time was "Gotham City." Years before "Trapped in the Closet" and the hilariously bad "Real Talk."

 

[RockSP]

everyone loved R. Kelly.

Not quite.

 

[Manic]

Not quite.

Everyone who mattered loved Ned Flanders R. Kelly.

 

[RockSP]

R. Kelly is to music what Tyler Perry is to film.

 

[Wylie Times]

R. Kelly is to music what Tyler Perry is to film.

that's the most unfair comparison I've seen in a while....I mean i'd agree with you if we're just talking current R. Kelly pied piper ******** but "classic" R. Kelly is good stuff.

 

[SurfDUI]

R. Kelly is to music what Tyler Perry is to film.

R. Kelly is to personal indescretion what Roman Pollanski is to film.

 

[RockSP]

that's the most unfair comparison I've seen in a while....I mean i'd agree with you if we're just talking current R. Kelly pied piper ******** but "classic" R. Kelly is good stuff.

Lol...how is it "unfair"? You think his so called classic stuff is good, I don't. I mean he might have a few songs I like (Seems Like You're Ready is the only one that comes to mind offhand), but for the most part he sucks, IMO.

Saying he sucks is one thing but to compare him to Tyler Perry is what's unfair. Beyond just his singing R. Kelly is a prolific songwriter and producer.

 

[Anubis]

R&B in general sucks these days. Being the pied piper of a s**ty genre is rather meaningless.

 

[Manic]

Poor R&B. It's gone from classics like "Betcha By Golly Wow" to crap like "Say Aah."

 

[RockSP]

Saying he sucks is one thing but to compare him to Tyler Perry is what's unfair. Beyond just his singing R. Kelly is a prolific songwriter and producer.

Heh heh. And Tyler Perry is a prolific filmmaker and writer/producer of stage plays.

R&B in general sucks these days.

R. Kelly has played a big part in the downfall. Exhibit A:

Being the pied piper of a s**ty genre is rather meaningless.

He calls himself the pied piper because most these other fools are following him...

 

[E-Man]

R. Kelly had some decent songs before he got craptastic as he got older. I used to love him when I was a kid in the 90s, but looking back he was just okay. He had some good singles, but the rest of his albums aren't really anything to write home about. If you really want a guy who has been in the R&B game for a long time, and who is still pretty good, look no further than Brian McKnight. The dude hasn't compromised himself to stay relevant, yet his albums are still consistently good. R. Kelly doesn't hold a candle to him, or Raphael Saadiq for that matter. R. Kelly just does what sells. He is the LL Cool J of R&B.

Seal was Killin it back in the day...

 

[Manic]

I remember exactly 2 songs from Seal, and one of them came out this decade.

[SurfDUI]

Seal is that dude...I guess. I do know he's one of the few forigen artists period that came over to the U.S. and sold an arse load of records, let alone he's black, I'm sure he is or was a hitmaker. His voice just doesn't have weight that American audiences get into...and his wife is embarrasingly ugly.

R.Kelly is responsible for 30% of the genre since '91. Some years more, some less, and Ill never defend that P.O.S., but the R. double album, 12 play, the remixes. That was hot **** back then.

 

[terry78]

Speaking of black brits in the music biz, that new Sade is some real talk. My dad is a massive fan, and I'm actually starting to get into her now.

 

[SurfDUI]

I'm actually starting to get into her now.

How could I forget. Sade is...you don't compare Sade to anything really, there's she and the band and then there's not. I love that new song, Prisoner or somethin, She puts out an album every ten years since the early 80's and hasn't aged.

If I'm to drunk and 'Is it a crime?' plays...Its a wrap
