Where did it all go wrong for Sisqo?

[Sbp]

Thong song was a gift and a curse for him. It's a great song but it's a pop song with campy/novelty vibes. Sisqo's core audience was the RnB crowd. He needed to break out in that lane as a solo artist first then go for the pop charts.

Classic...one of my favorite R&B debuts

double post....

Can I Live was an awful lead single

 

[the artist known az]

He refused to go back to Dru Hill and insisted on doing a second solo album.
Then he filmed this crap. It was so terrible that the label refused to release it.

I had a homeboy that loved this wack ass song

 

[Duke Wy Lin]

Unleash the dragon is a certified classic

But yeah, Sisqo was doing way too much during that time. Dude was everywhere.

 

[African Peasant]

This thread is weird. Do you cats forgot how HUGE thong song was?

Dude did not fell off naturally or grew old. He went from global super success to trash in one album.

You do if you count his group success dru hills first two albums were very successful the solo album was the pinnacle of success it was no where to go but down.

Nah. His solo success reinvented hm and wasn't tied to Dru Hill. He had all the lane to expand in that decade. With that album, he expanded his fanbase way beyond Dru Hill.

 

[Methodical]

I always thought he was gonna come out of the closest in the future. He always looks and acts gay, and fruity.

 

[African Peasant]

At some point he didn’t want to play the game anymore.

Also if he was going to be a soloist then he needed to leave Dru Hill alone forever. Sisqo’s run was weird like Fergie. Both has big debut albums and there’s no musical reason why they shouldn’t have run it back in a big way.

With the caliber of R&B songwriters like Static or even R Kelly out there, Sisqo’s should’ve been eating well and changing his look for each album cycle. His lane was his to do something with for however long he wanted it regardless of label drama or industry BS.

Dude easily could’ve been bigger

Yep. And dude wad mad young. There was no reason for his career to stop at that point. When your first solo album goes multiplatinum and you're in you 2O, it"s supposed to be the beginning, not the end.

What's he up to today?

Spoiler

My favorite Sisqo line: ..you keep calling me names, said I was trife but one thing you gotta know, imma be a nikka for life, YEEEEEEEAAAAHHYEAH!!!

Still the head of Dru Hill and touring, who has changed their lineup like 5 times in the last 15 years


I cant even keep up anymore
Nokio be in and out, Jazz be in and out... and there's members from Playa in the group now

 

[Blankthawtz]

When he tried to front like he liked p*ssy....

 

[Ghost Utmost]

You felt that it was going right for him up to a certain point?

 

[Cyrus' Wife]

I liked that song he was on with DMX

 

[Dave24]

Yeah, because to me, he always was like another version of K-Ci from Jodeci and Dru Hill was like another version of Jodeci. They followed that exact blueprint

And I didn't care for The Thong Song, I always thought that song was corny.

Plus, there were so much other good music coming out at the time.So, I just didn't have an interest in checking out no solo album by Sisqo.

But like I said, I liked his song Incomplete. This is a classic to me.

@casa bey who are your favorite r&b singers from the 90s?

 

[ReturnOfJudah]
