What Are Opinions On K-Ci & JoJo?

All my Life & Last Nights Letter where played heavily when i was 7 & 8. I did like the songs but never paid much attention to the group after that.

A friend of mine at work played their cd recently and i really enjoyed it. Didn't realize how great of voices the 2 guys had, and usually i get bored when an album is nothing but love songs.

But this album i could get into almost every song. And i liked the prouction quite a bit to!

What are the opinions here on the guys? i am honestly not a big fan of Jodeci... So i was suprised how likable K-CI is on his own.

Pistols sounded like "Fuck off," wheras The Clash sounded like "Fuck Off, but here's why.."- Thedigitialgardener

Well first of all that Don't Rush video was hilarious. lol Woah lawd.

But really, apart from when K-Ci and JoJo did covers (If You Think You're Lonely, Wildflower, Love Ballad etc.) I generally don't really care for their post-Jodeci material. Too clean for my tastes tbh.

confused Don't Rush is hilarious lol That is up there with Dru Hill & other bad R&B videos.

Jodeci always seemed like a cross between a watered down R. Kelly & cracked up Bel Biv Devoe lol

Idk.. just could never get into them. I didn't really believe them when they where trying to ''freak me''

HEY YO!

You serious bro.

Jodeci were da bomb when they were in their prime.

All 3 of their albums are solid. Forever My Lady, Diary of a Mad Band and my favorite The Show The Afterparty The Hotel.

Songs too good and too many to write down here.

Devantes production was great...Jodeci were groundbreaking at the time.

Kci & Jo Jo...Its just not Jodeci...too soft and watered down for me. But probably more radio friendly.

They are two talented fools who, (like their cousin, Fantasia) were not ready for celebrity and the things, that came with it.

Jodeci was good.

KCi and Jojo has a good debut album. Everything after that was "meh".

If you look up "oversinging" in the dictionary, a huge ass picture of K-Ci will be there.

Trust me. Dude took Stevie's and Charlie Wilson's runs and increased them by 1000%.

lol

I didn't care for Jodeci at all with the exception of Get On Up.

I could tolerate Cry for You and Feenin but i absolutely positively

hated their debut album. I respected them much more as a duo as you

could tell their material was better written and more mature than Jodeci.

I liked their first two albums but after that they just kind of fell off.

Don't laugh at my funk
This funk is a serious joint

I do realize they where trying to get away from the dirtier bad boy image from Jodeci. But some songs just try to hard to be G-Rated lol

''I said, Come over here, have a little seat with me All I wanna do is watch a little bit of T.V
She started rubbin' on my legs, fingers in my hair Then you got silly, said, "Let's play truth or dare" I'm not in the mood, honey, I swear Baby you're outta control and I had to get up out of there''

These mofos lying so hard lol , they where just a few years earlier all about freakin, licking, touchin. Now all they want to do is watch T.V? neutral
