Better R&B Group: Dru Hill or Blackstreet?

Since the first one got a lot of discussion going, I thought I'd match up another two groups who had similar careers. My vote goes to Dru Hill, but once again, it's very close. If you'd like to take part in the poll, please click on the link in my signature.

Musically, my vote goes the Blackstreet. Their self-titled debut album is still worth buying.

Blackstreet. Dru Hill took some time to grow on me. I used to think How Deep Is Your Love was a great song and the soundtrack to my holidays in grade 10, but now I think it's crap!

I liked them both, but I'm going with Dru Hill

I would have to go with Blackstreet. I can play all of their albums in their entirety, I can't say the same about Dru Hill.

Blackstreet 4 sure! Their first 2 albums were really good. Didn't care for the 3rd and 4th as much, but they had some ok songs, too.

Not to mention, Blackstreet had some damn-good remixes.

Difficult choice. I think vocally & musically Blackstreet may just get my vote.

At least they were more musically versatile than 112. The stuff Teddy did for New Jack Swing and mj's dangerous album, the remix of if you wanna fix featuring slash, and so forth

Dru Hill had great vocals, but Blackstreet would be my pick - musically, personality-wise and overall impression.
Besides - No Diggity is one of my all-time favs, that would've definitely tipped the scale.
