wow listening to this ol skool track an the new shit i realize music has really gone down hill. don't get me wrong there are some excelent artist out an i like alot of there songs but the classics are killing them hands down. i'll put any Boyz ll Men track up against ANY r&b singer and or group
This was supposed to be the 5th single from "Cooleyhighharmony", but it was quickly eclipsed in weeks from a hot new song from Boomerang: End Of The Road.
The reason why music like this isn't made today is due to artists being more inclined to sell music that is more visually pleasing as opposed to audibly pleasing. Boyz II Men sold emotions, where as typical artists today want to sell fantasies; they make you indulge in the high life for those 3-4 minutes during their songs; the lavish lifestyle, the money, the fame. Fantasies are easily forgotten but emotions aren’t. That is why their music will live on but today's music is instantly forgotten.
Now ima play devils advocate right quickery...Now i grew up on dis music & now i dislike the quality of this new shit as much as da next man BUT take a sec n think wit me a minute...back in the day all dis music boyz II men & subway n all those boy/girl bands were having similar sounding music. But the era was fresh so we just waived the shit off. Our parent who grew up listening to music n the 60's n 70's tld us our late 80's -90's music wasnt real music da same thing we doin 2our kids...THINK
Very tune but the difference is we like the old stuff our parents love and their parents too, to stuff up to the mid 90s. All music has gone down hill since the late 90s. Dance music up to the early 00s was great but now it's soulless which you can say the same for RnB. Shame really. At least you can get a good vibe in a club hearing the old stuff.
@SupremeAp Nah you missed the boat. That music sounded similar because it was part of a seperate GENRE and movement - New Jack Swing. Itself was trying to create a different sound from it's parents (hard core hip hop & softer R&B) Street soul (Mary J/Brandy etc) and commercial hip hop (Jay Z etc) were the children. But they lost the thing which made the movement vibrant - diversity (Everyone had something different apart from the crap ones, even the crap ones). Today everyone conforms.
they don't know what to do with music nowadays ---this is simply one of the best from the best era in r&b ----- can we bring some of these writers and producers back who fired them????? bring it all back pleeeeeeeeeeez
MAN! I miss these days. Real r&b music.....REAL DANCIN! Not hatin' on todays music....wait, yes I am. R&B just isn't the same. Some of it's alright but most of it's just the "SAME OL' SONG". Anyways, NOBODY did it like Nate, Mike, Shawn, and Wanya. And NO ONE could touch Ronnie, Bobby, Ricky, Mike, Ralph, and Johnny!
I Remember back in the day when my mother rented White Men Can't Jump on VHS and before the movie came on this Video Came on and They actually showed Micheal Bivins in here Rapping. With Cameo Appearances by Another Bad Creation and MC Brains. What happen to that version of the Video and why was it never aired?
What the hell happened to R&B....Dallas Austin, Teddy Riley, La & Baby Face used to kill it back in this era...oh: Forgot Terry Lewis and Jimmy Jam eh?
i mean da original album with like 10 tracks only reached up to like #48 on da charts but then it was re-issued with more songs and then it sold over 9000000...
another one of my favs from BoyzIIMen...I had the video and really thought I was shit in the 90's bumpin' this...miss them days.happy memories!!!!!! they were so fly!!
I was so jealous when my sis met them in person back stage Nov last year! We have been fanatics since '94! they are so goofy and laid back. I hate Mike left the group.
damn, they killed it; they work so well together. This is my favorite Boyz II Men song next to "I'll Make Love to You"......y don't we get this now adays?
WELL SYMPIN DOES NOT WORK WEKLL WITH MONEY GRABIN SLUY'S...A GROWN WOMAN IS GOING TO AKNOWLEDGE POETRY,ART...A BITCH JUST CANT SEE PAST $.
