Boyz II MenBoyz II Men, all music group participants: Nathan Bartholmew Morris, Michael Sean McCary, Shawn Patrick Stockman, and Wanya Jermaine Morris, they are dreamed only of being a successful music group. They no longer have to dream. These four incredible talents have accomplished so much in just twelve years. Their story is something that could be perfect for a movie. This biography will tell the incredible story of how four men single handedly conquered the music world. In 1992, just as the excitement over Cooley high harmony seemed to be dying down a bit, the soundtrack of the Eddie Murphy movie Boomerang, which featured the track “End of the Road,” was released. The single hovered at No. 1 for a phenomenal thirteen weeks, beating an eleven-week record set by Elvis Presley’s “Don’t Be Cruel/Hound Dog” single back in 1956.

Prodigy (Hip-Hop) Return Of The Mac

prodigyHardcore; gritty; provocative; these are just a few of the adjectives that described Mobb Deep’s brand of hardcore gangsta rap on their early albums. The Queensbridge natives painted dark illustrations of street life encumbered with all the graphic details you would see if you were actually in the hood; couple that with exceptional production, blunt and pointed lyrics and good chemistry between the members (Prodigy and Havoc) and you have the reason why the Mobb built a loyal fan base. At one point, the more outspoken of the duo, did his solo thing. Although the album sales probably didn’t break the bank, he put together a dope album leaving fans salivating for more. Seven years later, loyalists receive capital P and long time associate and producer, the Alchemist, for Return of the Mac.

Jay-Z American GangsterNo mere album, this is a ‘conceptual body of genius work’ inspired by the upcoming movie ‘American Gangster’. The concept is a 21st century blaxploitation soundtrack, and having THE Super Ego of hip hop mastermind an updating of that classic period, and embellish it with autobiographical detail, is a pretty damn mouth-watering prospect. And he has a point to prove; his last venture back from retirement Kingdom Come received a lukewarm response, at best.

There is no doubt in anyone
