both these bands (top 2 male R&B bands of the 90's) blow jodeci and boyz ii men (top two male R&B singing groups) out the water....easily. But let not 4get that Jodeci was also band too. DeVante wrote all their music and was great on keys and guitar (just like Teddy Riley).... while his brother Dalvin was a badass drummer (just like Aaron's brother Damion)....shit, man they were a southern verison of GUY. he he [Edited 8/14/09 16:12pm] Devante, as a teenager, left home in hope of joing Prince's band but Prince rejected him and sent him back home to Charlotte. I don't think many people knew he played any instruments because you never saw him on any. He always looked so thugged out in his videos. He used to be so fine, but he looks like an ugly crack addict, now. Prince believes he is a musical prophet that has been chosen by Jehova to guide his fans to the "truth". | |

I think these two groups are evenly matched. Prince believes he is a musical prophet that has been chosen by Jehova to guide his fans to the "truth". | |

The 1st time I saw Dalvin on the drums was at the end of his solo "Why Can't We Video" but I'm gonna check out that unplugged clip | |
