shiny suit influence was the source for all those songs with the easily recognizable, heavy basslines along with overly jiggy/flossed out appearances

there was nothing wrong with the shiny suit era musically because they basically kept the classic R&B/funk samples unchanged. It was the messages/lyrics that went to sh1t.
