They couldn't get along.
Inner conflict killed their whole sh*t.

I was going into sophomore year when that thong song dropped. shyt was the smashiest of smashes
This happened
Their comeback in 02 was cool, but wasn’t the same with all the lineup changes
I mean they did last. They died when the male R&B group died.
Sisqo got scorching hot, got big headed, then second joint flopped. Became corny and a punchline
Dru World Order was cool but they wasn’t gonna recover from a long break

Nah, return of the dragon flopped, that was his 2nd album
Unleash the dragon was sisqo's first album that had thong song on it
shyt ended up going multi plat. think he did about 5m which was crazy back then and even crazier now. Dru hill lost their lead singer..... the end

They didn't lose him. Dru Hill was on both those solo albums and kept making decent group albums with him after that. They just couldn't keep a consistent lineup but Sisqo was always there. Saw them a few years ago at BB Kings in Manhattan and it was a great show. I agree they could have had a bigger run. But what male R&B group is around?
Hard to maintain “groups” when everyone has their own agenda and wants what they feel they deserve…
Sucks because the RnB group was huge in my lifetime. That’s why these kids hate “love” now. They scared of being hurt, but we, and the generations before us, sung passionately about it and the “hurt” of love proudly.
This world got real sensitive real quick man

Once I saw one of them nigs pour candle wax on his body while biting his bottom lip in a video I was done with them guys. Then once I heard Sisqo's speaking voice I was doubly done. That's probably why they didn't last, Sisqo was the only one with star power for real and don't no women wanna be with that little sweet ass guy man, pause, no disrespect intended

They had a great run, it just ran its course.

A lot of 90's R&B groups struggled after the sophomore album. There are some exceptions, but if you look at the pattern, the third album marked a hiatus followed by a flop and they never recovered. The third album was usually the last commercial success and the least selling of the first three. More importantly, it was probably going to be the worst album up to the point as well.
