  • awww Devante singing

  • Is there any more footage of Jodeci recording in the studio? Because I've been studying music and if anyone knows music their harmony is untouchable, I mean 2 half chords (Devante & Dalvin) and 2 whole chords (K-Ci & JoJo) that's extremely hard to do.

  • They were talking about shai One trying to be like Jojo one kind of favors Devante and the short one with the beard.

  • no they was talking about boyz 2 men?

    

  • Devante! Devante! Devante!!!

  • Best Boy Group In Tha World :)

  • Those were more loving times

  • devante produced part time lover for h-town so it was shai

  • I'm tryna figgure who they was talking about too....what was that tune he hummed it what ever it was thats the group they talking about.

  • DEVANTE WAS TALKING ABOUT SHAI

  • @scootertone i thought dru hill for some reason

  • JoJo was the best singer out the group.

  • @gabydawoman11 How so???

  • @SrealMusic1 his voice is much powerful than the others. Singing from his stomach and not throat singing.

  • i think he was talkin bout h-town

  • @Swaggalicious2127 Nah, Nobody in H-Town fits his descriptions. Besides he mentioned four people, and H-Town was a trio.

  • Devante Swing is my boyfriend lol. All you females are mad!!

  • They were talking about Shai. Silk is a 5 man group and was on their level, Shai couldn't touch Jodeci with a 10ft pole as good as Shai was!

  • @Kingdom4Real i think it was h-town cause he said it was three people and three of them in shai really could sing only two and jodeci

  • this was in 1993 they was talking about shai the tall one kinda favors devante then their is one who sounds like jojo and then the short one marc gay who has a beard

  • THEY WAS TALKING ABOUT AZ YET listen to jojo's medleys when they laughing its az yet song LAST NIGHT!!!!!!8:31-8:32

  • @hortonc20 Az-Yet didn't debut until 1996. This documentary is from 1993.

  • @JavonteTreble FA SHO I DIDNT THINK OF THAT

  • OMG MUSIC WITH NO AUTOTUNE  0_0

  • One of my favorite Jodeci songs!

  • mm, when devante do them eyebrows!! just love it!

  • enable part 1 so we can watch on mobile but thanks 4 post anyways

  • Na he was talkin 'bout Silk

  • do they have a version of this song that's like this with tjust the piano?

  • @MissRacheeRache cant find it no where

  • This probally my 100th time watching this between today and yesterday just for the piano part with decante and jojo

    

  • Devante is just mmmm in the words of will smith I wish I could plant him and make a whole field of him lol

  • MISS these days...BAD!!!!

  • im 13 and i think devante is sexy *sigh* music went down hill i mean every year they come out with someone else to make the record label money but only if the artist wasnt making "money" for them so they just choose a person with a little talent and call it amazing what ever happened to talent and positive music not sex, drinking, partying till the sun comes up, shaking your butt, drugs, how much money they have i mean ive asked soooo many of my friends and ppl at my school they want real music

  • Damn devante FINEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE !

  • LMAO @ them dying when Devante was talking about how he got robbed, especially Dalvin.

  • I thought they were talking about Dru Hill as the group trying to be like them, but Dru wasn't even out yet! As the user stated before I guess they were talking about silk. In particular Lil G & John John. They didn't sound anything like jodeci though!!! Dru hill did!!! I don't know what other group they could be talking about.

  • @prityricky1 they could be talking about blackstreet

  • @LANKENBOI95 Nah, they was talking about Shai. They wouldn't diss Blackstreet, Dave Hollister is K-Ci and JoJo's cousin and he was in the group at the time, plus Teddy Riley was one of DeVante's influences.

  • I really like this.. KCI is the man... love that voice!

  • If you liked the clip @ 7:57...  Search JODECI LATELY LIVE

    freshstef2k7 UPLOADED THAT WHOLE PERFORMANCE *PROPS*

  • Devante is a fucking genius

  • Devante is a genius and jodeci is the sh*t

  • No the group he was talking about was Shai ya'll the other 4 man group-not Silk there's no comparison with Silk AT ALL.

  • You can soo tell these brothers grew up in church. Especially Devante on the piano- just the music he's playing sounds gospel! I love them even more after seeing this:-)

  • At 8:10 I remember hearing about that Devante felt a "group" was trying to be like Jodeci. I had heard he meant it for Silk.

    We know he couldn't be talking about the obvious Dru Hill because this was 1994 and not 1996, when Dru Hill debut with "Tell Me".

  • They're recording K-Ci & Jo-Jo doing harmonies to "My Heart Belongs To You". This is the process I like most that they never show much of.

  • WHERES ADRIAN PITERS!!!!!!!!!!. hahaha

  • My brothers my brothers they sound really good but damn that nigga devante always eating i want some porkchops 2

  • genius

    

  • the making of a classic...smh if only Jodeci could've made classics for a few more years

  • i just realized my husband is singing practically throughout this whole video (segment)my baby can sing,dont front on him... sing Devante!!!!

  • Vante GOT-DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!MAK­E SURE YOUR NOT FLAT,HAHAHA ILUV MUSICIANS SOO SEXY WHEN A MAN KNOWS HIS MUSIC!!!!!

  • Devante's production skills at work!

  • This is how I found out about this song.

  • Devante is a prue muscial genius he was way before his time nobody in this era had music like this and when I listen to it now I'm like WOW! Devante get the help you need and turn your life around

  • Mayn I've loved that man since I was 9 years old. Even named my baby brother after him, still holding out on a reunion of some sort.

  • Jo jo look just like his cousin Teeny (Fantasia brother).

  • @ama00010 :O lol inever wouldve thought of that but they do sorta look alike now that yu mentioned it,wow.

  • 3:53 jo jo thought he was stevie wonder lol

  • I don't see why they just can't get together and go ahead and record another album. They left at the top of their game. The public never got tired of them like they do with some artist. Neither set of brothers are really doing anything worth while. Devante isn't even producing any of the top artist of today (I always thought he'd be working with or without Jodeci). Just go ahead and get back together. SMDH!

  • @Codycole80 Its OFFICIAL, JoDeCi is coming back 2011! Watch their reality show.

  • Kci & Jojo vocals - together - magic...

  • my idol/s.

    devante = one of the biggest musical talents ever. Reason why i started learning piano! i wish i was as good as him.

    no one can sing as good as K-ci could back in those days, with as much soul and rawness.

  • @nik9999 I feel you on that! I've been producing for about 10 years because of devante. my son name is devantae LOL. they need to stop the BS and come back

  • @nik9999 Yes, there were equally (or better) vocalists in those days. Like: Gary Jenkins (Silk) and Wanya Morris (Boyz II Men) , Gerald Levert (Levert), Aaron Hall (Guy), Charlie Wilson (Gap Band), Johnny Gill (New Edition)... and more..

  • @MystroMusicMan They are all great musicians...

    But when i talk about being a vocalist, that includes the personality of the voice and material the artists covers.

    And being the biggest jodeci fan out there, he stands out for me.

    I may be 20, but 90's music is my biggest influence, and i am still huge fans of all those artists you mentioned.

    There is a video of Gary G Jenkins covering Donny's "A song for you".. one of my favourite covers of all time. And i saw Wanya live...AMAZING

  • @nik9999 You're right, the personality of the voice and the material covered is definitely a factor. I wasn't saying you shouldn't be a big fan, of course. I'm a fan of both Jodeci AND Boyz II Men. For me, these two groups pretty much defined R&B for the 90's. Riff, ("My Heart Is Failing Me") deserves an honerable mention, though along with them since they were before both groups. But yeah, K-Ci is not to be messed with. Sisqo of Dru Hill, an obvious fan of K-Ci's, is a great vocalist too.

  • why is people making fun of devante that is not funny about him getting robbed, what happen you was robbed in your own house and they assult you too theres nothing funny about that and f.y.i devante is a good father you bitches yall just mad because he rich bitch

  • @MsMiller1234 he's not a good father, he got a kid with my homie in nj he does even see that kid.

  • @CandiGurl8700 YOU THE ONE WHO SAID HE AIN'T A GOOD FATHER

  • devante with those gospel chords

  • "if you heard i got robbed... That's true..." LMAO

  • @BizzBookz2000 i don't see nothing funny about that

  • whos the boy in the begginng

  • @ 2:47 until 2:59 that was cute!!roll the tape!

  • This album was the BOMB!! Still Love it after 15 years!!

  • why are they laughing about him getting robbed

  • Comment removed

  • devante a clown i seen his son and daughter they dont look half as good as him to me they look pretty lame did he even raise them if not(if my kids looked like that i wouldnt raise them)his baby mamas ugly too he looked to good for them women seed went to waste

  • @jon76398 Nope i know for a fact that devante never took care of his kids. hes a deadbeat.

  • why does devante fingers look like that

  • @jon76398 LOL. I read a story where somebody said his ring and pinky fingers are stuck like that on both hands, in the playing position. Crazy, huh?

  • @dawb86 damnn thats just weird

  • @dawb86 yea his pinky finger is permanently bent.thats why he has customized rings.

  • @tce97 hey how did his pinky get permanently bent?? i have always wondered that, was is it an injury?

  • @HozaNotie iread it in an interview where his mom explained how when he was little his dad prayed over his hands that he would be good at music or something like that and his hands have been stuck in a playing position every sense

  • why did he start acting weird as people say after he got robbed was he that scared

  • Lol they were talkin about Shai.

  • wow k-ci is a vocal genius

  • you can really hear the church background in them from the singing down to devante playing the piano

  • LOL they are sooo down to earth!!! they seem like really cool people to chill with... and i really wish that i was in that studio with them when they were recording just to watch because to me, that alone is just brilliance and don't get me started on devante. not only is he very very VERY handsome man, he is also a musical genious too...you can tell just by way he acts when he's working in the studio....where did talent go? *sighs* i'm truly convinced the days were much better back then...

  • @datmixedkid2396 Yes, I agree. Devonte is a musical genious!

  • WOOOW KCi's voice...incredible....love 'em

  • at 2:40 devante was about to sing in the booth. But they cut that out.

  • Comment removed

  • This is a classic!!!

  • Watch Devonte's hand positioning when he plays. His vertical, on-top-of-the-keys feel of hitting the chords is VERY akin to jazz pianists like Thelonious Monk. Monk's style of playing was very angular and detached, but he still managed to create beautiful lines and progressions in his playing. Influence is influence!

  • Video of a recording session of Devante on Keys and JoJo working on a song? Quite simply amazing, and to see them in their element is something I thought I'd never see.

    Love that acoustic set of "My Heart Belongs to You"...almost chilling....

  • dont worry there comeing back

  • JOJO IS FUNNY

  • MAN!!! K-Ci is amazing! I saw this video then went back to hear this part of the song and I could hear it blended with the other higher tone part he did of the same versus. Devante is an artist and K-Ci is an amazing instrument of vocal talent!

  • @KakkoiGuy1 I know what you mean. I did the same exact thing. Een with all the other voices, you can still hear his voice through it all

  • Omg!! I remember recording this. What a shame how they faded so fast. They were so talented. I am so disappointed. Wish they could have had more longevity.

  • I love jodeci . & i was wondering whats the name of those 2 sings close to the end of the video not forever my lady those other 2 songs ??? pleasee & thanks

  • IM STILL WAITING REMIX AND LATELY

  • damn devante and dalvin are so look so damn yummy lol

  • what group is devante talking about at 8:15 ?

  • Shai

  • r u sure he is talkinga bout shai

  • I'm not totally sure, but if you go back and listen to the description and listen to what Jojo kind of hummed. He was humming that song, Comforter by Shai. Who do you think it is?

  • My Heart Belongs to You is my favorite song! Devante is so handsome, so sexy!

  • If I was sitting between those two at 3:22, I would be a happy girl. haha--Roll the tape.

  • Comment removed

  • His name is Justin DeGrate. He has a facebook page, just search by his name.

  • OMgoodness, thanx. I knew his name and I searched it, but I didn't think about facebook. You know that song, Forever my lady? Devante wrote that to his girlfriend @ the time. He was already going to be a dad when they first came out. He was about 18.

  • wat is dat song at 7:25

  • The remix of 'I'm still waiting'

  • The name of this song should have been that he is still waiting for me to make love to him. LoL. Akzuri answered your question though

  • Justin is one of my friends on myspace, myspace him.. Justin DeGrate ..he looks like his dad and uncle, and just like his dad - he plays various instruments.. I did see him beast on those drums!!LOL...Check him out..

  • Thank you. He is my friend on facebook now. I seen him. He's cute, but not as sexy as his father was. Devante is just amazingly fine. But Justin's still cute.

  • what is dat song in the beginning

  • My heart belongs to you

  • thanks

  • god..... Devante is so fuckin FINE!!!!! He's just beautiful.

  • Man..Justin looks just like his dad- DeVante makes beautiful children...Them eyes a killa...lol

  • They were talking about Shai. Listen closely to the description and then check out a picture of Shai.

  • DianteCL I do believe your right cause at 8:31 JoJo hums what sounds exactly like Shai's song "Comforter"--He mumbles "I will comfort"!! Yay. We cracked the codet!!

  • You heard I got robbed...thats true LMFAO

  • This is amazing.Jodeci-my favourite & the best RNB boy band of all time...and Devante Swing greatest producer/writer ever. Hope these guys get it together & ditch the drugs-would be such a waste to lose such talent...

  • i wonder what group they are referring to at 8:17 where they say a group is trying to be them??? i been trying to figure that out for a while now lol

  • it could be H-town

  • but devante produced songs for h-town. and he described 4 swagga jackers...h-town only had three members...

  • i think you are right, other comments say its shai. i know that devante was such a genius producer but not knowing that he also do stuff for H-town. thanks for the information. i like your videos and baby you got a nice smile, love it :).see ya

  • @rashmivk i love jodeci so much they are my favorite too..but let me inform you on some things.

  • @rashmivk (cont.) they never did any drugs [like cocaine, and things of that nature] but they DID smoke and drink and they even said this out of their mouths but they are getting clean and releasing their album sometime soon that's been on hold for years.

  • @rashmivk k-ci and jojo are also coming out with a reality show sometime in september where they are getting counseling, voice lessons, just getting back on top of their game... how do i know all of this?

  • @datmixedkid2396 LOL, just out of curiousity how do u know all these things? And where did that name come from?

  • Comment removed

  • @dawb86 lol i got it all from a recent interview on the foxxhole radio! (jamie foxx's radio show) just type in "foxxhole radio k-ci and jojo" and it should pop up

    lol im not trying to be a know-it-all if that is how i appear but i just think that real fans should know the truth and see what they're up to :)

  • @rashmivk Them (and Devante) being your "favourite" is 1 thing, but you can't base that on them being "the best of all time" and "the best ever". Jodeci are one of my absolute favorite R&B groups. As far as an R&B "boy band" (a term that applies to "vocal groups") goes, Jodeci loses top honors to Boyz II Men and Take 6.

  • @MystroMusicMan everyone has opinions...

  • @mrsewards ...apparently.

  • @MystroMusicMan so why say that they're wrong, but on the other hand you introduced me to take 6 and i love them thank you

  • @mrsewards it depends on what "they" you mean exactly. lol.

  • @MystroMusicMan whoever was sayin Jodeci was thier favourite lol

  • @mrsewards Ohh.. lol. I never said they were wrong for having a favorite group.

    Oh I forgot, (if you really meant it) you're welcome about Take 6.

  • @MystroMusicMan lol naw seriously i even put take 6 on my facebook

  • @mrsewards They ARE a very talented group!

  • Comment removed

  • Thanks for posting up! This is rare footage, thank you. Jodeci for life xxxx

  • I guess Boyz II Men

  • No there was a group called P.O.V that tried to take Jodecis whole style from sound to the way they dress

  • what group was they talkin bout?

  • DeVante was a workaholic...no wonder hes taking a huge break now lol he deserves it
