Both have had very solid careers through the late 90s into the 00s. Which group do you think is better? Please go below to vote. My vote actually goes to Jagged Edge, but it's a very close call.

I can't deal with either too much but I'll say 112...

Neither...They both suck.

The downfall of R&B

What? 112? They were kinda hot for a minute, somewhere between 96 and 99. Their first two albums weren´t bad. The downfall of RnB is what you hear today, all the autotune, dark beats, repetitive melodies, negative lyrics etc.

At least 112 could sing decently.

Are you kidding, they sound like a bunch of cats that are about to be castrated.

KoolEaze said:

Nah. Both groups are the root of it

You are both very harsh critics.

KoolEaze said:

Sorry, I'm just being honest

midiscover said:

Sorry if I hit a sore spot with some people. I'm actually a younger dude, so when I was growing up, they were prominent in R&B. It wasn't until I discovered music from years before that I realized there is A LOT better out there.

That being said, I still think both groups are good and are talented.

112 is better, but they were strictly singles artists, I used to have their first album and it was crap. Their best songs are Only You and Dance With Me.

Jagged Edge by default.
At least they have a few songs i can
tolerate. 112 was just plain damn annoying.
If you listened to how they butchered All Cried Out
with Allure you'd wanna go out and kill somebody.

Jagged Edge though some of their songs were ghetto-ish, lol

I like more songs by 112. But even in the late 90s I saw them like a poor man's Jodeci.

Technically both 112 and JE were poor men's Jodeci.

Cinnie said:

Well Puffy had a hand in Jodeci, and then signed 112 and probably tried to turn them into the next Jodeci.

Wow, I can't believe you think "Dance With Me" is a good song but "Cupid" is crap. I actually really enjoyed their first album, it is full of pretty good ballads.

112 wins because they all sing. In J.E, only the twins (Brian & Brandon) sing. I've heard the other member sing an ad-lib, and I have yet to hear the 4th member sing. Plus, all of J.E songs sounds the same

I never said I didn't like Cupid, which was also a single. Cupid is nice but now it reminds me of Tender Love, which is far more superior.

djslam said:

Exactly, Puff couldn't have the original Jodeci, so he made a bootleg.

ViintageJunkiie said:

Actually, Kyle and Wingo do sing on a couple of the songs, probably not any of the major hits though.

As for 112, I don't remember Mike ever singing on any hits either. If I'm not mistaken, isn't the leading singing split between Slim and Darron? I sometimes get Q and Darron confused though.

this is like choosing between a shit covered turd, and a turd covered shit.

Dru Hill was the next Jodeci and shot on both 112 and Jagged Edge. With that said, Jagged Edge.

Cupid is my shit though, love that song.

LittleBLUECorvette said:

Good point, although it's really hard to argue that Dru Hill is better than these groups when they've only had 3 albums, and they faded pretty quickly. Their debut album is amazing though.

It's a tie for me. I like them both, I can't choose.

Well, 112 has an edge over Jagged for having jams like this:

Gotcha!

112 by a long shot. I loved their first album and I like a few of the singles after it ("Love Me," "Anywhere," "It's Over Now," "Peaches and Cream").

Still, my favorite 112 songs weren't singles. "This Is Your Day" from the debut is my favorite track by them and this cover dedicated to the late Biggie Smalls is second:

112!!!
