and before you bandwagoners break into fake outrage; let me say, I was an actual fan of theres in real-time. and I still am, but I don't know how much longer its gonna last with this ever-growing stench.

2 things I love about jodeci:
- they have the best singles catalog of modern-day r&b
- on paper, theyre the goat. by that I mean, you have kc & jojo as the frontmen vocally. Devante was making a run for goat producer. Dalvin was another great musical guy in the background and he would bust his lil raps on the remixes that made you feel like the coolest dude in the world while reciting them. that starting lineup is untouchable. not just for modern r&b but that goes for any r&b group of any era. yea I said it.


2 negatives that stand out to me:
- sure they have the best singles catalog, but they don't have a real classic album. they were basically the naughty by nature of r&b, and they got away with it. out-the-park homerun singles but the albums always fell short.
- they get credit for being the pioneers of all this chit, but in reality, they were just rolling with chit that was already poppin. they didn't start any of the stuff they get credit for.

I agree to some degree, but their first two albums are definitely classics, or close to it...
Their run was very short, 4-5years, but they broke up and was still hot with K-Ci and JoJo and the Degrates with productions...

I agree.

And I was damn near a Jodeci stan back in the day.

Their singles were great but the albums always had a bunch of skip worthy material IMO.

They don't have that My Life level, undeniable classic in their catalog.

If they ain't, who is? (from the same time period)
