Was Dru hill below average (update episode added)

[R=G]

Put it to you like this...who wants to play Dru Hill in 2020? Lol. I play AZ, Jodeci, AZ Yet, Silk, Sam Cooke, Luther Vandross..even Kelly Clarkson got a ton of catchy ass hits from those first two albums. But Dru Hill? They like Ja Rule...keep their ass in the trash can.

 

[Budda]

One of the biggest Rnb groups of all time can’t be average.

 

[JustCKing]

Jodeci and Boyz II Men as better groups, for sure. But y'all really rank 112 over Dru Hill as well? 112, Jagged Edge level IMO

In terms of legacy, 112 and Jagged Edge are bigger. Dru Hill never transitioned into the '00's as a group. Sisqo had his solo career, buy again, it was one album that did really well. Do people even remember Sisqo dropping his second album that quietly went platinum?

 

[Rollo Goodlove]

Y'all don't fukk with Sisqo

 

[DontEemTry]

Sisqo stole all of K-Cis vocal runs but I still fukked with their early music heavy.

Sisqo going solo for a bit fukked up their momentum in my opinion coz he just went all the way left with it

 

[OHSNAP!]

FOH you nimrods, disrespecking a legendary group like this

OF COURSE they were influenced by Jodeci and others, just like EVERYONE FUKKING ELSE takes inspiration from other talented cats

They had 2 successful classics and put in work! Respeck dat!

 

[Mʀ2ᴋDᴇᴇᴢ]

Nah but Unsung is moreso about not reaching your full potential or props than popularity.

On a side note, I hate how the show is starting to focus heavily on 90s act. Started out well varied but now it’s recent R&B acts

 

[DaveyDave]

I haven't seen many episodes but Unsung isn't JUST for acts that weren't popular but for acts like Bone Thugs who have basically been forgotten these days or are not talked about when people have a look back at the past.

 

[1986]

They had some tracks.

 

[CSquare43]

Nobody is sitting around listening to them shyts fam.

B2M were a great group and great singers and I played them albums out, but man, some of them songs are cringy...

"... All them times you just ran around with some other guy, I knew about it, I just didn't care..."

 

[letti cook]

im not reading or returning to the thread cause i know its prolly wild disrespect in here

just came to say

DRU HILL IS THE GOAT RNB GROUP AND SISQO GOT THE GOAT VOCAL RUNS

peace and love

 

[Danie84]

I dream of Lover's Past I see a girl so Sad cuz she Lost the Only Man she Loved

 

[JustCKing]

Nobody's saying Dru Hill wasn't great. When I think of Dru Hill, I think of late '90's R&B. Post 1999, I can guarantee none of you could name a song (group or solo) without Google.

Jagged Edge and 112 were still going strong in the '00's and they debuted around the same time as Dru Hill.

 

[IVS]

Depends on your era, I am 34, so Dru Hill is iconic to me, classic middle school records, but do they compare sonically to Jodeci? I don't think so, but I didn't live Jodeci's music in real time.

Dru Hill from 1996-1999 was a great R&B run. Hook on that Wild Wild West song, What These bytches Want

In My Bed
We're Not Making Love Anymore
How Deep Is Your Love

Plus the album cuts, and Sisqo solo in 1999

If you weren't in middle school or high school when these songs were out esp. How Deep Is Your Love, than you may just not get how big they were.

Dat part.

And lets we not forget Sisqo had all the bishes rockin THONGS

 

[Black Bolt]

I don't know how much longer, you're gonna be heeeeeere/
So I say my prayers overnight /
One for my mother, one for my fatheeeererer


They were comfortably above average, stop playing
