Old heads, why did Boyz 2 Men have more commercial success than Jodeci

[Lonj]

Breh,

If you were a Black Male Singer, or Aspiring Singer during the 90's and early 2000's.

Boyz II Men, were "THE BLUEPRINT".

Between them and the Group SHAI, if you could sing, that is who you looked up too.

This whole Boyz II Men, "Wasn't popular with Black Folks" narrative, is false.

I'm not saying there weren't popular with black folks, they were popular with everyone, just that Jodeci had more "hood" appeal.

I can agree with this.

But I know "Hood Dudes" who are also singers (aspiring at least), and Boyz II Men songs where always a way to "Show They Can Sing".

Same with Shai songs, that Luther & Stevie songs.

Funny because boyz 2 men was no different than the temptations and the four tops. Actually all grew up in the hood. Yet some country Brehs are viewed as being more “hood” for dressing like they from Harlem

So is Anita baker boring and white music?

Anita Baker can sing the A-B-C song and I 100% hear the soul in her voice.

I smashed MULTIPLE Broads to this VERY SONG:

B2M, Carlton Banks of R&B...Jodeci was Will...

For real? Why you got to do the Brehs like that?

 

[Lonj]

One thing for sure is B2M won the war cause them boys can still blowto this day.



Props to them especially Wanya for taking care of his voice.

I couldn’t stand them dudes. They STAYED on the radio. End of the Road in particular. I definitely preferred Jodeci. But B2M was bigger in the black community becuz they appealed to a wider age range. Jodeci was more for the hip hop crowd

them MF'ers used to be on TV/radio/the box so often, it got to the point where I couldn't stand their music. I always thought they were OK, but the oversaturation of their music was a real turn off.

jodeci was about bagging hoes and making hot songs. plus they were the bad boys of r&b before r. kelly took over.

Kellz was vulgar and still selling way more than JODECI.

Kellz mastered the Art of innuendo he wasnt in your face Vulgar with it

K-Ci is the best lead singer from the 90s

Dino from H-Town
