Boys II Men: Its Almost Like They Never Existed

[feelosofer]

They were underrated as fukk when it was all said and done. One of the last great R and B groups to come out of Philly and one of the fathers of New Jack Swing.

 

[NoSingleMothersB]

They're were corny as fukk to me, and I'm from Philly.

Jodeci>>.

 

[Professor Polo]

I hear Motown Philly like twice a month on XM... that's about it.

 

[LV Koopa]

That Losing Sleep track still bangs. Even got my baby Sasha Chang in the video

 

[Art Barr]

They don't need to be visible.
They groomed nsync and Justin Timberlake exclusively.

Those are their proteges.

Heard Motown Philly on the radio today driving to work. Knew today would be a good day.

 

[Barry Sanders]

about to see them live for the first time at the end of the month!!
dream come true!!!

I saw B2M and En Vouge for free a couple years back.

I saw them in concert last year. They sounded great. Really funny and entertaining guys. I'm glad I got to grow up from that era.

 

[nalej]

This is a dope underrated song

 

[Dirty D]

I saw them at the Mirage in Las Vegas last week:



There's longer YouTube clips of them doing that same song in the same sweaters from 2013.

They aren't hot in today's mainstream but they can keep doing their act for the rest of their lives. They had more than enough hits in their day to eat as legends for the rest of their lives.

Hey Lover was best track they featured on.

They dabbled in a rap feature rarely but in this case it was

Yep

I bumped into the chick in the video at the airport once.She was with her mom, tho.

I wasn't quite sure who she(Had an inkling it was T Boz) was or if she was famous.I've been around celebrities in public.At times, they try to keep it so "low key, it actually makes em stand out.Since I wasn't sure, I just walked up to them and said

"You're somebody famous, huh?"

They both got 'giddy excited'

Like, they was both because she was kinda in "disguise".Had on a hat and a pair of shades.They just couldn't believe that I recognized her.

Which I really didn't.....I honestly thought she was T Boz.Had no idea that it was the girl from the LL Cool J video until she started pulling pics out of her carry on bag & signing them.Then I recognized who she REALLY was and played along.

Handed me some pics and right then, this other nicca walked over being nosey "Who is she?...who is she??"

So I'm like "Nicca ACT LIKE YOU KNOW!!The chick from the LL Cool J video! THE VANILLA ICE CREAM, NICCA!...THE VANILLA ICE CREAM!"

She must've appreciated that because she stopped signing autugraphs and looked up at me with one of the mostsmiles I've ever had shot my way since forever.

I think I could've fukked if I was older.I was only 14 at the time----The smile she shot me wasn't innocent at all---it was one of those "I wanna fukk you" smiles

Don't they have a Vegas contract? Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't that practically money in the bank for a performer. I'm sure them owning virtually none of their publishing is a bummer tho...
