It all depends on who tells it, but the one constant is how quickly their conception and ascension happened. As their tale goes, the group met in B2K, the final four, or as Raz will later kid, the Avengers — whatever you want to call them, it would turn out that their star power, in fact, was somewhat supernatural.
They were all inner city kids by way of Los Angeles, California. Yet, some unearthly force saw the vision before them. By the end of the year, B2K — or rather the life-size poster versions of them, courtesy of Word Up!
Kelly-penned banger featuring Diddy the group would later announce their decision to retire songs written by Kelly after the tour due to his ongoing sexual abuse accusations. The song served as an appetizer for their sophomore project, Pandemonium! The album debuted at No. It assembled an elite cast of black actors and musicians including Will Smith , Vivica A. Fox , and Ronald Isley. The visual storytelling was indicative of a black teenage saga minus the Godfather -esque kidnapping scenes, but there were several other defining factors.
Some of the greatest artists in music history come from there. A ghetto superstar is somebody that comes from there and was always a star.
The height of their success, although fleeting, captured the zeitgeist of early s pop culture — the retro fashion, the dynamic dance moves, and overnight stardom. The Millennium Tour is just a capsule to solidify that notion. The demand for the reunion was merciless, as they tell it. In many aspects, it really was about timing, Omarion discloses. They like to say the universe; I like to say the price.
Fellow singer and child star, Sammie , criticized the tour organizers for excluding him. B2K has been up all night. Less than 12 hours prior, Raz-B shares an Instagram video, announcing his resignation from the Millennium Tour, less than 10 shows in. Hours after his initial announcement, Raz rescinds his retirement, stating he will persevere due in part to his fans.
None of the members respond to his statement on social media. Frankly, this snag in the schedule feels all too familiar. The breakup ultimately activated a butterfly effect of bad news. Stokes has adamantly denied the abuse accusations. The real-life nightmare arrived on the heels of their dance cult classic You Got Served , and smack-dab in the middle of the blogging era.
Not everyone took the break-up lightly. Girls around the nation drained their eyes. Literal tears. But meeting [the fans] now, 15 years later and hearing them talk about it and how devastated they were, I kind of get it more as an adult. But to lose B2K, a staple of black representation within the millennial market, felt like a devastatingly low blow.
Fans rallied behind Raz after his Instagram announcement, but reports of unrest within the group were also met with huff-and-puff attitudes as if folks believed the singer intended to sabotage the tour.
The relentless spotlight of social media coupled with the lasting impression of built-up anguish is a lethal cocktail and has only spilled over as time has progressed. He snickers knowingly. Nonetheless, the show is still expected to go on. Arm hairs stand at attention and the silence feels eerily like thunder. The conversation pivots into a quest for information. As J-Boog and Fizz touch base with their people via cell, it becomes apparent how small the L. Their immediate reactions to the news are the most sobering.
Fizz masks his watering eyes behind a pair of shades before burying his head in his lap. Boog, anguished and stricken with distress, disappears on the phone between a crack in the wall. It feels invasive to stare. This is the kind you can play up n tha club.
My Girl-This song gotta nice beat. What a girl wants: Anutha slow song that's nice,and they do know what a girl wants too. Sleepin: Anutha slow jam that I'm realy feelin!

The other guy: Itz a nice slow jam-this you would like. Why I love you: You all heard of this song before and seen the video! And if you got their self debut album B2k itz on their! The song is cute though. Boys 4 life: Talkz about their life befo they were famous. The beat iz tight though. Dog by Jhene: Im not feelen fa me 2 be honest. I must say that there is no more originality in music today.
Everyone is stealing music off of other artists and taking ideas off of others. B2K is no exception to this fact. After seeing the success of boy goups like the backstreet boys,some greedy label decided to put together another boy group to make themselves some quick money.
This album is as corny and cheesy as it gets. All the songs sound the same and they probably dont even write their own lyrics. Most people fail to recognize that artists arent about real passion or skill now adays and only do it for the money. You could skip on this horrible release by a bunch of 15 year old wannabe players. Since i didn't give you a track-by-track review on the original, here it is: 1.
