- Their raunchy take on hip hop and r&b clearly exhibited in their lyrics and dance moves made them instant fan favourties. In fact, within just a few short years, they also became industry favourites when they took the crown as the highest-grossing R&B act, at the time, on their label. However, just as quickly as they ascended the ranks, they fell from the top just as fast. Let’s find out what happened to R&B/Hip Hop group Pretty Ricky.

I’m sorry but if you accuse someone of being a child molester, and then you go back and work with them, you either A) were telling the truth and chose to work with a child molester or B) lied about someone being a child molester.
Either way, it’s foul.
Right?
I wouldn’t talk nor work with them ever
BIG FACTS
So true...!!
I think they knew it was a lie but saw it as an opportunity to get back at him for leaving the group and doing better on his own. They're oppotunists.
I had no business singing their songs when I was a kid. 😂
THEY had no business singing their OWN Songs at the Age they were.😅😂😅😂😆
Chiiile, I had their 1st 2 CDs, burned Mixtapes with their underground songs, went to one of their concerts when I was in like 6th grade and I can still fit the PR shirt I got at the concert. I sleep in it to this day lol.
They had no business sing it either 😂😂
😂😂😂😂 ...
LOUDLY too hahahaha
I love that they got their name from a character in Martin. I’ve never knew this!
I knew Pretty Ricky sounded familiar when they came out but could never figure out where I heard it before
--"Ricky fontaine....Pretty ricky is what they called him"--Martin 🤣😂🔥
Juwanna Mann
I felt every piece of that Viola Davis "😒" meme at the end LOL.
I was today years old when I learned that Baby Blue, Spectacular, and Slick Em are related😩😩😩
Same! 🤣
Exactly
I didn't know they were all family either.
Yes they are brothers I believe
Ha🤣🤣🤣
Slick em’ needs better life goals 😒.
Him & Baby Blue
Before he God forbid ends up like Eazy-E because prior to his death he said the same thing. That he was aware of the girls he was messing with and that they didn't have anything
@@kimnkayscakes8265 one of them was shot baby blue but he pulled through.
@@kimnkayscakes8265 Thank God Baby Blue is alright.
Whewwwww what an era! 😭 we getting up there 90s babies!
Yasss girl , we are 🙌🏽🙏🏽💃🏽
How do you think us 80's babies feel lol
@@halim1582 Riight!! Almost everyday I’m like “where tf did the time go???” Lol
I definitely enjoyed the ride!
Unfortunately 😂😂
The videos for Grind with Me and Your Body was on heavy rotation on MTV and BET!!
Pleasure P got fine when he went solo. I also like this solo work. DID YOU WRONG and BOYFRIEND #2 was my shiit! College freshman days...😍
N those wont even the best songs on the album that's why he got multiple grammy nods
And under!!
Yesssss the good old college dorm party days ...life was so easy then ...
@@yessitsbritt1440 Absolutely!!!!!
Lick lick lick was a bop
A chunk of the people commenting here were kids (primary or high school) when Pretty Ricky dropped and had NO business listening to this group 🤣🤣🤣
We needs stories on D4L, Dem Franchize Boyz, Yung Joc, Young Dro, Jibbs, Rich Boy and Plies
Yassss all true
Yes all of them.
Plies is still prominent tho ... him and those pretty teeth 🤣
Yooo .Plies is Da 🐐 😂😂😂🤣😂😂😂😂 that Nigga funny as fuck.
Factsss
“Dec 2020 wasn’t a very SPECTACULAR month for SPECTACULAR at all” 😂😂😂😂😂😂 tickled me
😂🤣🤣
@@tinyking11 wasn't he the one involved with the PPE fraud ?.
@@musiclover-cn7tb Nawl that was Baby Blue. With the PPE fraud.
That pun was priceless 😆😆💀
AIN’T NOTHING BUT A NUMBER from their first album is my jam. I recommend anyone reading this to listen to that song right now. 🔥
That's my shit too
Yessss
The whole album blue stars is the bomb.play it everyday still
love that song myself i have the album
I'm sure ppl heard it already
Grind with Me is still a bop!
I still listen to it. 😊
& Plenty others , The first song that I fell in love with was "Hotline"
Facts
Yep
LARGE BOP!
Your Body is also a bop too!
“YES SIRRR”💯😂
Koreans love that song 💀💀😂
Gotta love that Pretty Ricky's song On the Hotline paid homage to Salt-n-Pepa's 1991 smash hit Let's Talk About Sex in the chorus of the song
Me too..😁✨
yes i agree the music video is hot
That was the remix
Wow I've heard that song a million times & never knew that.
They played that song to absolute death on Vegas radio stations when it came out.
When she said tragic shooting I assumed Baby Blue died. Tragic means someone died. But you can definitely say it was near fatal.
Exactly!! I couldn’t remember hearing about his death, so when she said he Tweeted something afterwards, I actually breathed a sign of relief, lol!
I thought he died too smh
Swea
Tragic just means distressful, fatal means someone died.
@@KeepinItOneHunnnid thank you. Folk let emotions control logic lol.
Boyfriend #2 by Pleasure P is still a banger!!
Fuking love that song!
That whole album
🔥😍😍💯
I was mad when I found out none of them was pretty 😩 but, at least they gave me some bops that I still play today 😌😂
Ma'am it's too early for all this shade.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 give me your phone
Omg I laughed too loud at this comment🤣🤣🤣🤣🤦🏾♀️😬💀
I'm glad somebody said it! 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
"he only deals with good girls like nurses and not strippers" 👀😆🤣 I'm done lol
He's definitely crazy..lol..lol..
I feel bad for those good girls because he don't deserve them.
Their first CD was a banger! I remember meeting them one time, and Slick em acted he did not want to be there with them lol.
Pretty Ricky, more like Pretty Messy.
😂😂😂
Damn their whole bluestar album was a classic.Off the top,I remember
Get U Right
Juicy
Shorty Be Mine
Get A Little Closer
Call Me
Don't forget nothing but a number and play house
Yesss💯
I can play that whole album front to back
Too young.... was a classic too
Pretty ricky was the ishh back in the day. I still like hearing their songs.
I had such a huge crush on Spectacular in middle school 😍
Nobody could replace pleasure p plus he had hella hits on his own
Yesss. His 1st album was everything
I was literally in elementary school when they dropped and where im from we get all atl and miami music quicker then east and west coast music. Pretty Rickey album cover was in EVERYBODYS LOCKERS and on notebooks (mainly pleasure) knowing damn well we was to young to be grinding on anybody hahaha 😂😂😂😂
Right??? I was listening yo grind on me and on the hotline singing along knowing a had no business listening to them
Miami is the East Coast. What’s on the East Coast the Atlantic Ocean. Our people need serious help in all areas now including geographic land and time zones. Oh forgot it the same time in Miami as it is in New York Pennsylvania New Jersey Maryland Boston and so. Come on man. They tell you Florida is on the East Coast LITERALLY and they say naw we the dirty south. REALLY
@@sng1188 Georgia is also on the East Coast but it still considered the Deep South. I think what she was referring to in her comment was East Coast as in New York area and I think everyone got the point except for you.
@@differentlydifferent no matter how you look at it demographically Florida, Georgia, North and South Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey all the way up the East Coast is still the East Coast. This is why you’ll find beaches in the East Coast. Black people call it the dirty south and white people allows black people to stay in their ignorance. They laugh at us on every level making up shyt they know is crazy af
You're on the east coast though so what ?
Ying yang twins, Jagged Edge, Lyfe Jennings, Black girl, Monifah.
They did monifah
@@leaundragates2965 No they didnt.
@@imher2679 oh sho didn't lol I'm thinking mokenstef
@@leaundragates2965 Its all good😎
Yes jagged edge
Spectacular-And FYI, that is his REAL birth name. 😎😎😎😎😎😂😂😂😂😂
RIP Static Major
I remember thinking Pretty Ricky was one person 🤣 then I had the nerve to be singing grind on me in middle school 🤦🏽♀️ wasn't grinding on shit but my pencil to that notepad
😂😂😂
Can you do a video on Crime Mob?
Yes plz crime mob 🔥
These guys were the epitome of music I know I had no business listening to when I was a kid
Same lol
Y’all didn’t even bother to name the ppl who replaced Pleasure P 😂🤣😂🤣
🤣🤣🤣
am I the only one who HOLLERED at them shady gifs 🤣🤣😭😭😭
Nah cause I screamed 😂😂😂😂😂😂😫💀💀💀💀
😂
No you are not, they take me out in every video! 🤣🤣🤣
No because I screamed too 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nope LMFAOOOOOOO 😭💀
They’re my hs house party days memories when life was simple.
Idk, from the first time I heard them I got the sense they weren’t going to last.
Me too
I GUESS SO JUST on the STRENGTH of their NAME bc they REALLY don't look like Nothing to write Home About &it sounds Hella Arrogant!!!
@@rissaceehart4076 To me, Spectacular was always the most attractive one. He still does look good. He was my favorite lol. 😝
Same. One album group
@@courtneypalmer53 Yeah ,He looked Decent, but I Couldn't DARE see myself with him or somebody like him.. Whatsoever., bc ANNNY Man that spends that MUCH time in the Mirror or Taking Selfies every other Second
#SorryNOTSorry Nah Bruh you Are Officially on my Radar as #s😑u👀S😑P👀E😑👀C😑K🤔!..#ALLLLLDAYY#ERRRRYDAYTHATENDSiny!#PERIODTTT#THEEEND!!!💁💁💁
That “Introduction of Marcus Cooper” album was 🔥
Under
Fire Lovin
Birthday Suit
Illusion
He had some gems on that album
Yes it was... I still listen to it lol
He's break up to make up mix tape is really good as well.
Lick lick was life 😌
@@kimnkayscakes8265 throw back
What happened to Mishon?? He was like a younger Neyo, started out on the show Lincoln heights
My favorite song by them hotline 2007 myspace music.
Aaahhh hell yeah them damn MySpace days 😂😂😂 im soooo old now hahaha
My cousin had that on autoplay on his Bebo, I was not mad 🤣
That Millenium Tour concert was bomb af
It sure was! Talk about nostalgia
@@Clonehalle yes!!!
Yes ma'am 🔥🔥
It sure was!!! I lost my voice the next day! 🤣🤣🤣
OMG, Narrator Queen. That damn voice and delivery! 😍😍😍😍😍 And I just love you reading the quotes. 😍😍😍😍😍 Anyway, I haven’t heard from that group after the 2nd album. Learned a lot. This music game can sure turn ugly if you’re not careful.
Their first 2 albums are classics. Once Pleasure left, it was never the same.
I’m 37 and still be playing Pretty Ricky.. Singing my ass off 😊
I’m 37 too. I remember playing Grind on Me in my car that didn’t have AC like it was yesterday. 😂 Grind on Me and Your Body are still on my playlist.
I did not know they were all related. Baby Blue was so cute. Wow they came out in 2005. Feels like yesterday.
the Steve Harvey clip 😂😂😂😂😂
YAAASSSS!!! Was hoping you'd do Pretty Ricky..
I had no business listening to them in elementary school 💀but they had bops
but let's about how gorgeous Spectacular turned out... physically and in terms of the business venture
the music industry really is a stepping stone not a place to stay at.... it's only if you built for it
PS the editor deserves a raise for the last bit with Baby Blu with the Viola Davis gif lmao
I'm surprised you didn't bring up the time Spec did that dance challenge vid in some red drawers!🤣
That PPP loan got Baby Blue LMAO
Pretty Ricky came out during a time when R&B groups were at an all time low. They were big fish in a small pond. Also, factor in Static Major's passing and, as a result, the music went to pot.
This is my group 😍❤😍. Thank you for uploading this.
I had pleasure p, my sister had slick, my 2 cousins had spectacular and baby blue 😂😂😂 and we was ready to go to war for it!
The lil reaction interludes have me laughing out loud with my eyes closed!!! I never expect it every time she puts one in there lol
Underrated channel with great content for the urban community
They were big in my high school years!
I'm glad spectacular branched off and did other things that was smart. Pleasure p Is so corny to me he can sing
You earned a sub specifically for the ending meme with viola Davis. 😂🎉
Thanks for the video. This was one of my favorite groups back in the day. Lol
My gosh, the intro with all these 90's look. Everyone was so beautiful from Brandy, to T-Boz,, Mariah Carey!
and etc!
Omg love this channel
I don’t know why I hollered when she said his name is really spectacular 😂😂😂
I liked the songs "Grind with me" and "On the hotline"! O.T.H has that mellowed out futuristic beat that I can zone out to and the group sounded more harmonious and cohesive together! God was there for Baby Blue, if not the robbery outcome would've been much worse! Glad that the group is maintaining and staying focused.
“Ripped up like Gucci Mane” took me out 😂😂😂😂😂
I STILL PLAY BOTH OF THEIR FIRST ALBUMS TO THIS DAY!!
Being from Miami and listening to them when I was in elementary and making dances with friends 🤦🏾♀️ I had no business.
What’s your fb
Yes Girl!! Content is fya!!
Thanks!
We had no business singing they music growing up! One of my favorite singer groups of all time! Hiiiits & good ass music!
You've gotta do a video on Lathun. The guy who sings the 1997 hit "Freak It."
The end killed me LMAO
Yesss! Pretty Ricky Ricky Rickaaay!😂😝
I remember when GWM came out and premiered on 106&park in '05. It was a huge summer hit! These vids make me want to build a time machine. Ohhh the nostalgiaaaa!😭
This was the background music of freshman year of college 💕
We all know the slick em got clean and reinvented himself as a comedian who we now know as DC young fly🤷🏿♀🤷🏿♀🤷🏿♀
🤣🤣🤣
I hate you! I thought you were serious about the comedian part till you mentioned DC. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
IS that Really DC or are you just BS-ing?
These are always good. Can you do one on Bobby v aka Bobby Valentino
Them songs of theirs got me caught up that's why my kids are here😳🤭
Sorry the Viola Davis gif took me tf out in the end 😂😂 Pretty Ricky got some hits
I died laughing every time you repeated one of their ridiculous quotes
Pleasure P molested his niece & the case was settled & sealed. I can’t look at him the same anymore after finding out…. Sad case
Yep. And then the shit Slick Em said about having 14 kids and a bunch of baby mamas. Those "good girls" don't deserve a bum like him. I am disgusted. And even though they had some bops back in the day, I guess that is what you get from a bunch of boys that made f*ck boi music.
Yes.
Yooooo ...the Viola Davis gif!!!
The fact that none of these dudes were named Ricky lived in my head rent free........
I’m supposed to be working but when I get that alert, gotta drop everything!! Much love
Thanks for the support! 😉
@@JuicyPopEntertainment of course!! Gotta support when the quality is dope plus this channel takes me on a trip down memory lane of one hit wonders and what ever happened to’s
Hahaha! I remember group Pretty Ricky in my early 20s. They were hilarious to me because they were so over-the-top but did have a couple of catchy songs when they debuted. And that must have been negative karma for the group member who committed fraud then got shot. I see they're still over-the-top even in the update. Thank you for posting. Date Stamp: 01jun21
“Grind With Me” was my song!! 🎶
I was today years old when I found out Baby Blue & Spectacular were brothers..& I watched BOTH seasons they were featured on in Love & Hip Hop Miami 🤦🏽♀️😂
Baby Blue is a level of ratchet I can’t even comprehend 😶😶 like gutter-gutter ratchet vibes 😖
I still listen to those first two albums like they just came out. They was my shit back in the day when I barely knew what they was talking about…but it hits different now that I’m grown and done experienced some things 😂😂
I loved them!! I saw them at the Millennium Tour they all did amazing! Didn't Spectacular graduate from Harvard Business School a few years ago?
I swear you're doing all my old favorites lmao
Pleasure P was accused of having inappropriate dealings with a minor and even his group members confirmed it.
I love there first album I still listen to it to this day
Pretty Ricky Ricky Ricky. One of my favourite group back then. Grind with me and Your Body Amazing Songs
Blue has the wrong thought process smh
Exactly
Loved their music (even if i was way too young to be listening to those lyrics) but they don't seem like the brightest bulbs based on all these quotes lol
Wow, they started out so well but got so messy, so fast. I love your reactions to the messiness, I was cracking up.
Are they making any music anymore? What about Pleasure P and their girl group Butta Kreme??
Getting arrested at all the family friendly places 😩🤣
Man Pretty Ricky debut brings back so many memories of my teen years!!! Those definitely were the days!!
The memes and gifs and the comments...I can't lol. That Viola!! 100%. I actually went to the 2020 Millennium tour. it was the 2nd show and it was maybe 2 weeks before lockdown. Never really a fan of P.R but the crowd was LOVING them. Can you do one about "Rich Girl", "Terrance Trent D'Arby", "Nivea", "Eden's Crush" and "Amerie" Thank you
Cant wait to go to prison cos when I get out I’ll be the biggest rapper ever because I did 5 years in prison 🙂🥲
Can u do crucial conflict?
Dat ending killed me viola Davis 🤣🤣🤣
