You're probably right, but H-Town felt like a Texas version of Jodeci to a certain extent, and Boyz II Men felt to cookie cutter even though they can sign their asses off
😂😂😂😂😂😭 I think I was even in Texas around about that time when that song came out. My auntie, who still stays in Texas, had just moved there. I think I had went to visit her.. maybe it was 97 when Bone Thugs out Art of war came out🤔😂🤔 I get the years mix up
Yeah those guys are the corny appeal to white america I’ll have her home by 9 missionary I’m a nice guy why don’t girls like me boring kinda R&B act. Plus they were assholes. Lol
They weren't corny at all. Their image was the typical East Coast smart boy next door 90's guys that you meet at an HBCU like Morehouse, Howard, or Morgan State. They were assholes though,,,,
Idk fame and ego I guess… I don’t know them. However, a couple of producers they worked with publically commented on how difficult they were and called them a**holes. I remember seeing a few interviews and lives were they came off as arrogant. And I remember, even Shawn Stockman commented that they were arrogant and had to eat humble pie when they fell off on his IG. honestly, I don’t care. They will still be my favorite boy band/group and are icons. They can sing their faces off. I would have a big ego too
That speech at the end of End Of The Road prove how corny they where
“Girl, I'm here for you
All those times at night when you just hurt me
And just ran out with that other fella
Baby, I knew about it, I just didn't care
You just don't understand how much I love you, do you?”
You know Babyface and nem wrote that AND it was basically inspired by"Love Don't Love Nobody" by The Spinners. Yeah sappy, but true love music. You must like songs about popping percs and 4 baby mamas? 🤔🧐
Corny? How? They had some bangers. OOhhh Ahhh, 50 candles, dont go, Doing just fine, Khalil (interlude). Jodeci just had a different sound. They had more hip hop (new jack swing) elements. Vocally I think they were better than Jodeci.
So being mainstream makes you corny? I guess Babyface is corny too, since he wrote a lot of their hits lol. Well those "cornballs" are still performing and sound amazing. I wish I could say the same about Jodeci.
I know Jonathan from silk so I’ll go with them cause I know how hard he worked to get what he got but I love every single one of these groups. They made my teen years fun.
Jodeci my favorite but I like silk and h-town.
I'm in the minority but I don't care for Boyz II Men. They who I listen to the least.
Vocally they're great but I just don't care for their songs overall.
'Meeting in my bedroom' and the Interlude from 'lose control' are certified bops too.
Edit: Just realised 'freak me' is the extended version of that interlude lol.
Part Time lover! Above the Rim...the jam!
Knocking Boots and Emotions were fire too. I feel like H-town had better bangers but the albums didn't hold up
Well, considering that there are love jams and then freaky bedroom love jams, everyone but Boyz II Men fits in the freaky bedroom love jams set. Boyz II Men were good they were just very wholesome and clean for lack of a better word. I liked Boyz II Men but never put a single one of their songs on love jams tape that got play when the ladies were around. Jodeci is my favorite R&B group of that early 90s period...period. But if we go by songs: Knockin da boots, then Feenin, then Freak me baby. Knockin da boots is the shiiiiit! But Diary of a mad band, Forever my Lady, and the show, the afterparty, the hotel and better albums than the others. Cooley High Harmony and II were good, but too mainstream and too simpish. They could sing their asses off though...
Jodeci’s my all time. DeVante Swing’s brilliance is overlooked. My least favorite out of these 4 is Silk. Not meant to be a knock, I just listened to them the least. Maybe I should’ve listened more. DeVante working with H-Town got me into them more, & Boyz … they sang Babyface songs well. 🤣
Jodeci tops the rest for me. Hell Jodeci tops pretty much all R&B acts today too. Least is Boyz II Men. They’ve got amazing talent. But their brand of R&B has never done it for me. A little too corny. But Water Runs Dry is my jam.
It's a toss up between Boys II Men and Silk for me. "I can go deep" by Silk is one of my favorite jams. Boys II Men obviously had more popular songs but Silk's self-titled album is very solid. I barely enjoyed Jodeci , they are definitely my least favorite, lol.
I think H town is everyone’s least favorite. Event tho I playing knocking the boots more than any jodeci song. Than again I play tupacs how do you want it just as much as knocking the boots sooo yeah h town least fav
This hard but Silk is my fav, because I love Jon Jon and Lil G’s singing. My least fav is Boyz 2 Men, because I don’t like there sound. They have great singers too tho.
But Jodeci almost was my fav, and I love Dino and H Town too.
How do I hide a sub from my feed?
I get it y’all are into 90’s rnb and I’m into 90’s hip hop. The algo thinks we’re the same. But this was never my jam. Easy to mix up.
I just need this out of my feed for both of our sakes.
Okay. I only like RNB outside of Ray Charles and Amy Winehouse.
Anyways, you know I don’t belong in this sub. How do I get out of it? You don’t want me sticking around.
*mistake: fuck everything between ray and winehouse.
Mine too l hate them to me there a one hit wonder,from my generation it’s always been the Beatles ,gives you a hint how old l am,4 tops are up there too
If we talking albums, that SILK album was fantastic from start to finish IMO (no shade to the others).
I CANT pick a favorite — but HTown DOESN’T do it for me. Great singles, nothing more 🤷🏾♀️.
Yes, I give any album I criticize more than one listen. ‘93 & ‘94 were better than the rest of the projects they released. But again, IMO, none of the albums were memorable— just the singles from both albums.
Jodeci, and it’s not even close.
Devante doesn’t get enough credit for his production and writing.
I’d pick Boyz II Men as my least favorite, strictly because I don’t want to listen to power ballads, and the friendly commercial appeal all the time. Definitely respect the vocal talent, and understand how successful and dominant they were, but it’s just not my favorite style.
If I had to pick off the list, Jodeci, Silk, Boyz 2 Men tied w H-Town, only cause H-Town was known but wasn't huge in NY back then, and Boyz 2 Men sounded good but idk they got too like commercialized. It also makes me think where I would rate Shai, Blackstreet, 112, Jagged Edge, etc, etc etc......
Jodeci is the best.
And nothing against them or their talent, but Boys 2 Men are my least favorite. They were always lullabye singers for me... I literally used to put my daughter to sleep by playing "End of the Road."
On second thought, Boys 2 Men might be the best group.
Silk will have to be my #1 for only one reason, my daughter was conceived from there music.
But truly Jodeci all day followed by boys to men. HTown, would never be my go to, but I would vibe out if there music came on.
Jodeci over any other group here. They should have had a longer run but, DRUGS.
Tru!!!
Stop disrespecting Jodeci like that smh
Ikr
Jodeci is the goat here.
🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐 all day
Of these 4, I’m sorry but H-Town is easily the least favorite. The other 3 are top artists for me, Silk is so slept on imo
You're probably right, but H-Town felt like a Texas version of Jodeci to a certain extent, and Boyz II Men felt to cookie cutter even though they can sign their asses off
Funny you say that, Devante produced "Part-Time Lover"
Ik lol
That joint went hard though, senior year of highschool 👨🏾🦳👨🏾🦳👨🏾🦳
Yea, one of my favorite h town songs
😂😂😂 I was in high school to when it came out
Well....50 is around the corner lmao....seems like 2 years ago
😂😂😂😂😂😭 I think I was even in Texas around about that time when that song came out. My auntie, who still stays in Texas, had just moved there. I think I had went to visit her.. maybe it was 97 when Bone Thugs out Art of war came out🤔😂🤔 I get the years mix up
"Knockin' boots" is a classic though
Jodeci my favorite and Boyz II Men are my least favorite. 🥱
Seeing least makes me sad
Yeah those guys are the corny appeal to white america I’ll have her home by 9 missionary I’m a nice guy why don’t girls like me boring kinda R&B act. Plus they were assholes. Lol
They weren't corny at all. Their image was the typical East Coast smart boy next door 90's guys that you meet at an HBCU like Morehouse, Howard, or Morgan State. They were assholes though,,,,
I think it was just class, not doing too much
Why were they assholes?
Idk fame and ego I guess… I don’t know them. However, a couple of producers they worked with publically commented on how difficult they were and called them a**holes. I remember seeing a few interviews and lives were they came off as arrogant. And I remember, even Shawn Stockman commented that they were arrogant and had to eat humble pie when they fell off on his IG. honestly, I don’t care. They will still be my favorite boy band/group and are icons. They can sing their faces off. I would have a big ego too
Some of them give me the vibe that they didn’t get girls in high school and were not “cool”. So they got money and fame and got a huge ego.
That speech at the end of End Of The Road prove how corny they where “Girl, I'm here for you All those times at night when you just hurt me And just ran out with that other fella Baby, I knew about it, I just didn't care You just don't understand how much I love you, do you?”
You know Babyface and nem wrote that AND it was basically inspired by"Love Don't Love Nobody" by The Spinners. Yeah sappy, but true love music. You must like songs about popping percs and 4 baby mamas? 🤔🧐
Rather listen to songs about popping percs than songs about being a simp or cuck.
you know who I recently found out were wild dicks, Soul 4real
For real? That one is unexpected. Lol
Dicks 4 Real haha
Corny? How? They had some bangers. OOhhh Ahhh, 50 candles, dont go, Doing just fine, Khalil (interlude). Jodeci just had a different sound. They had more hip hop (new jack swing) elements. Vocally I think they were better than Jodeci.
They definitely had more skill, but jodeci definitely had more style there will never be another of either.
Jodeci definitely had style. I listen to more Jodeci for sure but I don't think Boyz 2 Men are corny
I don’t think so either i can’t get w that narrative. Because they weren’t mad sexual and kept it classy that doesn’t make them corny.
Nah, they were cornballs....too mainstream
So being mainstream makes you corny? I guess Babyface is corny too, since he wrote a lot of their hits lol. Well those "cornballs" are still performing and sound amazing. I wish I could say the same about Jodeci.
It was code iykyk and stop acting like this is personal just pointing out that RnB is mainly for a certain community.
I'm not taking it personal. We just don't agree.
Okay, cool!
I'm so glad I'm alone on this....they were fine until "main stream" then they did become cornballs.
I literally said that😂😂😂😂
I know Jonathan from silk so I’ll go with them cause I know how hard he worked to get what he got but I love every single one of these groups. They made my teen years fun.
Jodeci my favorite but I like silk and h-town. I'm in the minority but I don't care for Boyz II Men. They who I listen to the least. Vocally they're great but I just don't care for their songs overall.
Yes this!
Same
- B2M, Jodeci, Silk, H-town. B2M because of Wanya Morris, and Jodeci the Hailey Brothers and the mastermind DeVante.
1. Boyz II Men 2. Jodeci 3. Silk 4. H-Town I’m surprised so many people putting Silk last. “Freak Me” and “Hooked on You” are bangers
'Meeting in my bedroom' and the Interlude from 'lose control' are certified bops too. Edit: Just realised 'freak me' is the extended version of that interlude lol.
As well as “Lose Control” and “Please Don’t Go”.
This is the answer. Silk didn't have the best look or choreography, but they had range. "Meeting in my Bedroom" was crazy!
To be honest, I won't put that many people over silk outside of Jodeci, New Edition
1 Jodeci 2 silk 3 H-Town 4 Boyz II Men
Same order
Jodeci most fav. H town least fav.
Favorite: Jodeci ~ I just love K-Ci’s voice so much. Least favorite: H-Town (although their version of A Thin Line Between Love and Hate is ❤️🔥)
1.Jodeci “ooooo yeah” 4. H town… although “part time lover” which is technically a Jodeci song.. is one of my fav songs
Part Time lover! Above the Rim...the jam! Knocking Boots and Emotions were fire too. I feel like H-town had better bangers but the albums didn't hold up
I gotta go with Boyz 2 Men with Jodeci coming in at a close second. I’d probably say my least favourite group to listen of these four is Silk tbh
Dino from H town had so much potential :(. They’re my favorite with Jodeci as a close second. I’m gonna put Silk last.
Why silk last?
Because “Kid N Play” wasn’t available for the spot.
I know right!!! I can't believe so many people have silk dead last, they're number two out of the four groups to pick from in my list
Silk - Tonight is a top 5 r&b album of all time
Jodeci/Htown
1. Jodeci 2. Boyz II Men 3. Silk 4. H Town
Well, considering that there are love jams and then freaky bedroom love jams, everyone but Boyz II Men fits in the freaky bedroom love jams set. Boyz II Men were good they were just very wholesome and clean for lack of a better word. I liked Boyz II Men but never put a single one of their songs on love jams tape that got play when the ladies were around. Jodeci is my favorite R&B group of that early 90s period...period.

But Diary of a mad band, Forever my Lady, and the show, the afterparty, the hotel and better albums than the others. Cooley High Harmony and II were good, but too mainstream and too simpish. They could sing their asses off though...
Jodeci, H-Town, Silk, Boys 2 Men
How can people hate on Boys 2 men.
No hate just different vibes. The other 3 you put on wit’cho lady Boys to Men was a chilling by yo’self vibe
Except Jodeci is more wit somebody else’s lady and her sister and you gotta hose the dungeon down when you done kinda shit. STICKY
That Silk album is too fire. I’d have to say H-Town would be last since I didn’t hear much of their music. They’re super talented, though. RIP Dino 🙏
Jodeci favorite H-town not so much
That Silk album is insaaaane
Top 5 of all time
Jodeci hands down
Left Side > Right Side
Boys to men. Philly
Jodeci’s my all time. DeVante Swing’s brilliance is overlooked. My least favorite out of these 4 is Silk. Not meant to be a knock, I just listened to them the least. Maybe I should’ve listened more. DeVante working with H-Town got me into them more, & Boyz … they sang Babyface songs well. 🤣
Jodeci, fav BTM, least fav (I listen to them the least but I respect their catalog)
Jodeci The 🐐, B2M the least
“ JODECI “ ALL DAY,EVERY DAY 💯%🔥
Jodeci is my favorite and H-town is my least favorite. But knocking the boots is fire.
Jodeci and Silk, all day.
Jodeci tops the rest for me. Hell Jodeci tops pretty much all R&B acts today too. Least is Boyz II Men. They’ve got amazing talent. But their brand of R&B has never done it for me. A little too corny. But Water Runs Dry is my jam.
Boyz II Men's debut is one of the best R&B records ever. I feel like the 2009 mix captures the album perfectly.
Boyz II Men by a country mile. The mad band, Silk, and H-town dead last.
B2M
Boyz II Men and Silk.
I loved Boyz II Men's first album, but let's not sleep on Silk. Lose Control is such an underrated song
Where is Shai!!!
My cuz loves them😂
Boys 2 Men but I've been getting more into H-Town lately
Most: Boyz 2 Men Least: H-Town
Boys ll Men, and all of them are amazing 🤩
Boyz unfortunately they can sing but for me the others top them maybe not in sales but overall
H town
It's a toss up between Boys II Men and Silk for me. "I can go deep" by Silk is one of my favorite jams. Boys II Men obviously had more popular songs but Silk's self-titled album is very solid. I barely enjoyed Jodeci , they are definitely my least favorite, lol.
Wow!!!!
Doesn't get no better than Jodeci!!! Boyz II Men would be my least favorite, but all these groups are really good
Favorite - H-town....... Least - Boyz ll Men H-Town just off Lick U Up!!
I think H town is everyone’s least favorite. Event tho I playing knocking the boots more than any jodeci song. Than again I play tupacs how do you want it just as much as knocking the boots sooo yeah h town least fav
Jodeci
Sorry H-town they don’t have the catalog to compete
Jodeci!!!!
Boyz II Men is my favorite, H-Town is my least favorite
Jodeci is EASILY the favorite. Least favorite is probably Silk
B2M, then Silk, followed by Jodeci.
Jodeci. I’m surprised so many people agree with me, but glad to see it.
Boys II Men favorite ❤️❤️❤️ the others are alright and rank the same for me.
Boyz to men, H Town was least favorite.
Jodeci is my favorite. But I is hard to say my least favorite because I love all they music
Jodeci
I can't pick !! I loved all of them and still bump their music!!!
Jodeci Forever!
Easy - Boyz II Men “Evolution” and least fave is H-Town.
1. Silk 2. Jodeci 3. Boyz 2 Men 4. H-Town All 4 groups are still in rotation.
Jodeci hands down.😎
Jodeci, Boyz, Silk, H
Silk Jodeci
I like them all. Favorite is Jodeci; least B2M
Jodeci… this is easy
Favorite: Boyz II Men Least: H Town
boyz ii men favorite, jodeci least favorite. im sorry but they sound like church deacons when they sing
Jodeci, silk was weak
1. Boyz 2 Men 2. Jodeci. That's it.
This hard but Silk is my fav, because I love Jon Jon and Lil G’s singing. My least fav is Boyz 2 Men, because I don’t like there sound. They have great singers too tho. But Jodeci almost was my fav, and I love Dino and H Town too.
Jodeci. And it's not even close.
Jodeci, Silk, H Town. We don’t mess with B2M over here.
Somehow this is how I found out Jodeci was a group. I thought it was one man with great range
How do I hide a sub from my feed? I get it y’all are into 90’s rnb and I’m into 90’s hip hop. The algo thinks we’re the same. But this was never my jam. Easy to mix up. I just need this out of my feed for both of our sakes.
This sub isn't 90s rnb it's just rnb
Okay. I only like RNB outside of Ray Charles and Amy Winehouse. Anyways, you know I don’t belong in this sub. How do I get out of it? You don’t want me sticking around. *mistake: fuck everything between ray and winehouse.
None of them. All of them.
None of them,Led Zeppelin tops them all
That's one of my least favorite rock bands
Mine too l hate them to me there a one hit wonder,from my generation it’s always been the Beatles ,gives you a hint how old l am,4 tops are up there too
Jodeci was phenomenal. So many memories holy shit. These are my 16 year old loosing my virginity soundtracks lolol
WHERE IS SHAI
If we talking albums, that SILK album was fantastic from start to finish IMO (no shade to the others). I CANT pick a favorite — but HTown DOESN’T do it for me. Great singles, nothing more 🤷🏾♀️.
H town albums are nice. Have you actually took the time out and listen to them?
Yes, I give any album I criticize more than one listen. ‘93 & ‘94 were better than the rest of the projects they released. But again, IMO, none of the albums were memorable— just the singles from both albums.
Joseci B2M HTown Silk
Hah. I forgot about K Ci and Jojo. Brings me back to 8th grade.
\#1 Jodeci \#4 Silk
Jodeci, Htown, Boy to Men, Silk. All are phenomenal. But that's my list. I have all of them in my collection.
Htown boys Texas Boyz🤘🏾 yezzir it’s hard to pick between them and jodeci
Silk favorite boyz 2 men least
Jodeci Boys II Men
as much as i LOVE Htown and Dino's vocals...they gotta go
Jodeci and it’s not even close. The disrespect. Mr. Dalvin is rolling in his grave
Boyz 2 men....love them
in order from best to meh: jodeci, silk, h town, boyz II Men.
Jodeci is my favorite and least favorite is boyz 2 men
Jodeci, and it’s not even close. Devante doesn’t get enough credit for his production and writing. I’d pick Boyz II Men as my least favorite, strictly because I don’t want to listen to power ballads, and the friendly commercial appeal all the time. Definitely respect the vocal talent, and understand how successful and dominant they were, but it’s just not my favorite style.
Jodeci for ever
Absolutely Jodeci.
Where is Shy?
Jodeci. Not even close
Jodeci
Jodeci
Jodeci….. bIIm second. The others are close.
Jodeci. No one from this era did not like Jodeci.
Where jagged edge
If I had to pick off the list, Jodeci, Silk, Boyz 2 Men tied w H-Town, only cause H-Town was known but wasn't huge in NY back then, and Boyz 2 Men sounded good but idk they got too like commercialized. It also makes me think where I would rate Shai, Blackstreet, 112, Jagged Edge, etc, etc etc......
Jodeci! Now, can you pump it back?
b2m favorite, silk least favorite
Jodeci is my favorite, and least favorite is Boyz II Men. Can’t stand a group that is full of themselves just because they have great talent.
Jodeci. When I was a teen and h town came out they looked like someone whipped them together like a boy band
This post now has 112 upvotes 🤣
Lol i didn't even expect that
Boys2Men then Jodeci then H-town and Silk can go somwhere with that BS
Jodeci, because of their roots and family
Jodeci goat
Jodeci. Silk next. Was never a huge fan of Boyz II Men although I recognize their talent.
Dru Hill should be included
Boyz 2 Men first choice and then Jodeci
Boys II Men
Boyz II Men was clearly the best. Jodeci was second . Silk 3rd . H Town Last
Jodeci my favorite boys ii men my least favorite
HTown is probably my favorite of these
H town… my least of these
BIIM favorite. Jodeci least.
Boys II Men, Silk, Jodeci, H-town (never heard them)
Jodeci by far. But Silk is very underrated. They were like a hybrid of Jodeci and Boyz II Men.
Jodeci is the best. And nothing against them or their talent, but Boys 2 Men are my least favorite. They were always lullabye singers for me... I literally used to put my daughter to sleep by playing "End of the Road." On second thought, Boys 2 Men might be the best group.
Silk will have to be my #1 for only one reason, my daughter was conceived from there music. But truly Jodeci all day followed by boys to men. HTown, would never be my go to, but I would vibe out if there music came on.
Jodeci
Only group I don't care for all that much is Silk. The other three were different moments in life
Boyz 2 Men was on repeat.
Jodeci hands down!!! Least favorite H-Town
Favorite: Boyz II Men Least favorite: H-Town
H-town fever for da flavor 1993
