30. "fucking jodeci " In response to In response to 0 Tue Mar-05-13 05:11 PM by Joe Corn Mo
i place a lot of "blame" on jodeci for destorying r&b.
i shouldn't.
because r&b has been raunchy.
but i never liked jodeci, and i feel that they were the folks that made r&b and hip hop inseperable to a fault. some folks blame r. kelly, but the difference between r. kelly and jodecie is that r. kelly has records that i like, and he's not being dead serious (i don't think).
also, he has the chops to do straight r&b when he's in the mood. i have an irrational hatred for jodeci.
SIDENOTE: this ain't related to your post, but i have heard you talk about this before.
when swv dropped "weak," it convinced half of the black girls at my school that they could sing.
and sing they did. all the damn time. there didn't even have to be a talent show... chicks just walking down the hallway, trying to harmonize. (they couldn't.)
i wonder how many women started singing at my church because they heard "weak" and thought, "i can do that!"
