On singing ability it's a toss up between Intro and Silk. Them was both some sangin ass negroes. Can't listen to Intro's songs quite the same anymore though. Come Inside sounds a WHOLE LOT different now.

 

[c_commander]

1 Dru Hill
2 Blackstreet
3 Silk
4 Intro

[34real]

H-town...because all of their album except their last were dope and don't sound dated.


I thought,their single "Natural woman" could of been a bigger hit,nationally.

GREAT picks. I'd argue these over the ones the OP initially picked. Tony Toni Tone had HITS. After 7 was the shit! And Mint Condition has really great songs. If I had to choose, I'd go:

Tony Toni Tone
Dru Hill
112
Blackstreet
Mint Condition

 

[M.H.C.]

My Barber love that Come Inside joint from intro.

I didn't have the heart to tell him.

 

[Complex]

Out of the ones you named







and underrated







RIP Tony Thompson, Kenny Greene and Dino

 

[johniz]

This was one of my favorite groups..also they were around my age along with Soul for Real:

RIP lead singer Tony Thompson

 

[BrownTurd]

Dru Hill easily. Dru Hill stepped up and filled the void left by Jodeci when they broke up and held down the R&B group genre with great singing and a catalog if hits.

 

[Mr. Met]

Silk and Dru Hill.

 

[XXXplosive]

Yeah, Hi-Five was the shit
Can't believe Tony Thompson died from inhaling freon from AC units

Damn I didn't know dude was gay, sure makes those lyrics ring in the ear differently. Wow

 

[durham]

Wasn't tone Tony toni considered the 90's? If so, to me they were the best group

[bunn]

And its not even close...

 

[RoadRage]

As a kid I used to think some of those groups were cool and talented, but now that I am older and wiser and am able to judge them in terms of historical talent as opposed to contemporary popularity, those guys compared to the groups of the 60's and 70's. I can't even listen to half of that boring bullshit now..

 

[Coldchi]

112, Dru Hill, H-Town, Intro

if Kenny Green wouldn't have died, Intro would be still around.
Az Yet had some talented singers,....too bad they were a one album and done group.
H-Town would have been goin strong if Dino wouldnt have died.
Dave Hollister was the soul of Blackstreet.....but he did the right thing by going solo.

In terms of vocalists, the 90s matched and possibly even surpassed the 70s. A few great 70s groups, like the Delfonics, weren't really great singers. Their songs were just well-composed.

 

[B-Witty]

Tony Toni Tone, followed closely is Mint Condtion... all day long wtf are yall talking about? Dru Hill would be the only group mentioned even close.. but even they cant compare to triple T....














I could post more but I think u get my point!

 

[Onpoint]

No 112?

 

[(0_0)..l.. finger]

Seriously, you can buy damn near any of these group cd and not feel cheated out of your money. Damn, I miss the music in the 90s..
