All facts and all of that in addition to signing a bunch of bad deals I heard, acculating debt especially after Da Bassment fell through and Swing Mob was dropped

Makes me wonder if he really should have just taken a year or two to actually learn the business on some Michael Bivins type shyt before jumping straight into it virtually right after Forever My Lady was released.

In addition to that just plain trying to do too much, between jodeci, producing for others and trying to run ya own label with multiple groups/artists on it at the same time. Just too much on his plate at one time and a recipe for disaster.

Kinda makes me compare and contrast his and Teddy Riley's careers. Both producers for their group, Guy and Jodeci, both had acts that they mentored, both produced successful tracks for others, especially Ted with MJ of course but Teddy seems to be doing pretty good and easily the much better of the two, legacy in tact, properly known and recognized as a GOAT tier producer/songwriter, at least among black folks, while unless you're an old head or a Jodeci fan you probably have no idea who Devante is.

Guess we can only dream of what could have been

Yup. I couldn't said it any better.:salute:
