Was Dru hill below average (update episode added)

Dude ppl hated Sisqos dancing, the flips, the silver hair, the song premise.

Yes it was a pop smash, but that comes with haters.

I like it still bc at the end he displayed his signature vocals. But other ppl don't care about talent

You’re wrong.

 

[Take It In Blood]

Dru Hill was the sequel to Jodeci

Forever My Lady could be the GOAT 90s RnB album if they just cut it to 7 songs... after U&I, it’s
Weak ass attempt at being Guy... their New Jack shyt wasn’t hittin. It’s classic because the singles were so great.
Diary, same issue... After 5 tracks, it’s ehhhhh
Then album 3 all them damn skits


Dru first 2 albums ride all the way thru.

Still not saying I would put Dru over Jodeci by any means.
If you put Jodeci 12 best songs against Dru, it’s a easy win for Jodeci.

Cooleyhighharmony is the best group RnB album of the 90s.

Dru Hill's first two albums riding all the way through os a matter of opinion. None if Dru's albums have songs as iconic as the ones from Jodeci's first three. Dru had filler too.

Not in real time

this is revisionist history

That's not revision.

"I don't like all that tong, tong to tong tong tong"--- Cedric The Entertainer, Kings of Comedy 2000.

^^^ This was during the peak of the song's popularity. Yes, it was wildly popular and people loved it, but it received it's fair share of hate.

More like a fusion of B2M and Jodeci

One thing y'll dont like to admit about Jodeci is, the first two albums, were the first 5-6 songs. Yeah they were great songs, they were staples.....but then after that, the albums fell off hard.

Jodeci couldnt really make a non-ballad. "Get On Up" was good, but Dru Hill was far more versatile in that regard.

They had less filler to me than Jodeci.

But in the end, I never really understood the comparison other than Sisqo having a raspy voice. Bobby Womack had a raspy voice and KCi covered one of his songs. But nobody was comparing them as artists.

 

[Rollo Goodlove]

Dru hill picked up where jodeci boyz II men left off


Jodeci and dru hill could do anything

 

[Big Mel]

Dru Hill were embarrassing.

 

[R=G]

who is AZ?


There was no hate for the thong song what are you talking about

what hurt Sisqó is that there wasn’t another thong song

And a lot of times those jokes are based on already existing backlash.

This post is full of false statements.

1) No Dru Hill album is held in as high regard as the three albums Jodeci dropped in the '90's. Dru Hill fits the bill as more of a singles group than Jodeci. Hands down Forever My Lady and Diary of Mad Band at least are classic. The whole notion that Jodeci is a singles group is a narrative you ONLY see on The Booth.

2) That whole stimulus talk is BS. 112 were Bad Boy artists. They were on the label and one of the biggest acts on the label. Same goes for Jagged Edge on So So Def. That same move you're pushing with this stimulus argument applies to Dru Hill and ANY act signed to a successful label.

All the other BS in that post isn't even worth addressing and breh why are you harping on LeDae. All you're doing with that example is trying to establish that 112 and Jagged Edge wouldn't be anywhere near successful without Bad Boy or So So Def, which is false.

1) This is opinion.

2) 112 was "one of the biggest acts on Bad Boy" because virtually everybody else on Bad Boy died, went to jail, or left because Puffy didn't pay them.

Jagged Edge absolutely benefited from having Jermaine Dupri behind them, they are the least dope artist(s) he ever put a lot of work into.

Breh, it may be an opinion, but it's a widely held opinion.

112 was big when Biggie was alive and Mase was still on the label. In fact, Mase's intro to the mainstream was a 112 remix.

And speaking of opinions, Jagged Edge being "the least dope" is just that.
