Other male R&B groups also came around during the height of the New Edition era who were roughly around the same age. They had to fight off groups like Ready for the World, Riff, Force MD's and Troop. Those are like the only ones that come to my head immediately. NE had a popular sound and it seemed like others were trying to move in on it (no different from today), but they held their ground which was pretty impressive because those groups had some jams.
Being young with an untrained ear and not really being that knowledgeable at the time, I could've sworn "Love You Down" was an NE song until ultimately being corrected on the school yard. Either way that song was a banger! I thought "Tender Love" was NE's joint too. I was trying to give them credit for everybody's hits.
I liked it, I damn near forgot it was a BET production, until their untimely commercial breaks promptly reminded me.
One of my fav Al B song. Song so smooth man
Also I will never forget him during the soul train awards lip syncing his *** off performing Secret Garden . I heard he wasn't that great live tho.
I watched the Unsung on Hi-Five, them dudes were damn near cursed w/ the misfortune they had. Car accident, dude gettin knocked for a body, lead singer dying later on before a come back. They had the jams too. So many groups back in the day it was like u couldn't be a solo artists at one point.
That was the joint But Rescue Me and A Little Taste of Loving tho
I'm from the Chi and R. Kelly has been messing with young girls for years. He got in trouble for messing with a underage girl back in 1989-1990 but it got swept under the rug. He also used to roll around the high schools looking for young tenderonis :x Also, if you listen to his song that he had with Public Announcement called "She's Got That Vibe", he has a line that says "Aaliyah's got that vibe". Funny that he shouts her out since the song dropped in 1992 and was recorded in 1991 when Aaliyah was 12
But yeah, alot of these R&B cats have serious issues. Marvin Gaye used to make people sleep with his wife so she could tell him about their sexual encounters. He also used to walk around with a strap on because he felt that his manhood wasnt adequate. And he was seriously addicted to drugs and porn.
This thread really makes me miss the Midnight Soul and Video Soul shows on BET. You could hear really good music on those shows
This video is like the last ingrained memory I have of them all together. I don't even think this made national airwaves. I remember seeing this on a local Hip-Hop and R&B show out here in Dallas.
Remember watching the video and saying to myself the entire time "Mike Jones? Really?!"
I never was an Eric Benet fan. I can't rock with shoeless dudes. Not my speed of R&B and after he got Halle and she embarrassed that dude going to therapy I lost all respect for him.
Maxwell is dope.
I thought Donnell Jones and Kenny Latimore would have been bigger.
Siilk and Intro's album had some bangers. RIP Kenny Greene
Intro definitely deserves a Unsung. Kenny Greene could sing his behind off. And all the while dude was living with AIDS
I felt like there was so much good R&B back in the day not everyone could shine...Shai never got the fame they deserved, neither did Jade, Silk or hell even Portrait

I remember this video. Tony was the only original member in this lineup. During this period, Tony went on a Wendy Williams interview and said none of the other members could sing. Toriano (dude who got locked up for murder shortly after the first album dropped) called the radio station and went ham on him
I play Shai's first album front to back all the time. Their second album "Blackface" was dope too. Not sure why the label didn't promote it like that. I didn't even know it dropped until like 4-5 years later. That's why I want to see an Unsung on them.
Soul for Real's first album is crazy too. I can play that straight through. Second album got no love as well

Subway had the low cuts too. This little game we play
I honestly wouldn't mind seeing a B2K biopic. That's one of the groups I mainly remember growing up since I was born in 1990.
