I wonder if the '90s acts would do what the '50s, '60s and '70s acts did and have a special where they all sang their hits. It might not be as nostalgic as previous decades but it could bring money and renewed attention to them... that's the only thing that would work for them nowadays since the industry changed so much.

The Bad Boy curse damn Bad Boy has ruined alotta folks careers. I mean Cupid and the song they did with Biggie were good, but I think that's were most folks got off the 112 train.

I wouldn't say that. "Peaches & Cream" was just as successful as those songs and "It's Over Now" is their biggest hit.

They're gonna have to be very creative to even get folks to take an interest in them again.

We can all agree on this point.

Wow I had forgot about Peaches & Cream HATED IT

I'd rather see Shai get back together.I really like their 1992 debut album

But seriously,there were so many of these R&B boy groups in the 90s that it was hard for any of them to really stand out.Most of them had the same style,look and sound.That's why they all faded away after a certain point.Shai was the best of the bunch,though (IMO).

They were okay with me for a couple of songs. I actually liked Portrait best. I thought

they were more versatile than most.

Couldn't agree more. Shai could harmonize as well as any of them, but (unlike Boyz II Men) each member was strong enough to lead a song. They were the closest thing to a male En Vogue. The debut album is solid, the remix album is outstanding, and there are quite a few great cuts on Blackface. I swear, they had me at their a cappella interludes, "Lord I've Come" and this one:

"If I Gave (A Confession of Hope)"

I'm not a big fan either, but it was certainly a big hit.

If a tree falls in a forest and there is no one there to hear it, did it really make a sound?

LOL

Basically. Who gives a fuck about 112, they were just one of the many victims of Sean Dickhead Combs and ButtBoy Records
