Ginuwine Really Could've Been The G.O.A.T! Stunted Growth Music

- My first musical experience with Ginuwine’s music was his second album in 99 and the single anxious. As a kid I didn’t quite understand the subject matter of the song, but immediately you could hear his music was was like no other and his ability to entertain on screen was of superstar quality. In diving into his background in music I learned Ginuwine was a bright upcoming rnb star on his second go round with success, going platinum first with his debut album that sold over 2 million copies behind the hit song “Pony”, an rnb classic that also enjoyed platinum success and was the #1 song in rnb in 1996. His second album released 3 years later but made it clear fans were waiting for the drop in that album becoming his best selling and highest peaking at the time. Another platinum album filled in 2001, solidifying Ginuwine wasn’t just a 1 or 2 trick Pony so to speak. He seemed here to stay, especially when he dropped his single “Differences”, my favorite Ginuwine song, and his second #1 rnb hit that peak at 4 on the billboard charts. His highest billboard peaking song and second career top 10. R&B superstar was written all over Ginuwine, but instead his music hit a decline throughout the 2000s and by the end of the decade he released his final top 10 album and was gone from the game.

Was Ginuwine one of the best of his generation?
Yes
Hell yea
Yessir
G In His Prime Was 97-2000, Only Reason I Think Timbaland Didn't Want To Work With Ginuwine Anymore Was Because He Viewed Ginuwine As Lesser Known Artist Compared To The Justin Timberlakes & Jay-Z, It Coulda Been Ego & Jealousy As Well, Maybe He Felt Like He Was In Ginuwine Shadow, Who Knows
Yes, he needs more credit
Ginuwine wasn't stunted he did everything he was supposed to, several platinum albums and his prime was at least 10 years.
That's what I'm saying he had like 4 classic albums. People went on and started listening to T-Pain and Chris Brown and Neo. You wanted to go with the club song's
I agree
Thank u 👏🏾👏🏾 some of these videos been out of pocket
His first four albums are 🔥🔥🔥
Factz....
💯
I agree with you. Ginuwine was on point with those 4 albums!
That’s not stunted growth some artists don’t have three albums and he has four classics!
@@GLOCKAVELLI-NEGRODAMUS His 3rd album is better than his first two. Yet Timbaland only did one track. His 4th one and all subsequent albums are generic R&B trash.
As a Ginuwine fan I appreciate this video! He is super underrated and he definitely helped put Timbaland as a producer on the map! Ginuwine needs his flowers!
I think ginuwine first album changed r&b in the 90s that sound was a head of its time
Ginuwine is one of the most slept on R&B singers. Great subject for discussion
Ehh not underrated, or overrated, but perfectly rated. He’s fine wherever he’s listed at
Ehh not underrated, or overrated, but perfectly rated. He’s fine wherever he’s listed at
@@xxzaexx6291 You're just being contrary. Who would you consider a higher rated singer and dancer of that time?
I wouldn’t say slept on he was very popular in the late 90s to early 2000s times just changed an other artist started gaining more popularity either way he still has a respectable career can’t take that away from him
Ginuwine said he is not Hollywood at all. I took that to mean that he doesn't compromise himself, that he's a genuine person. He said he's friends with no more than 5 people in the industry.
Ginuwine was Ushers number 1 competition in my opinion.
I agree. But also, I think his age played a big part in his stunted growth. He was in his 30s when the 2000s occurred. After you turn 30; your smooth, masculine, suave artist appeal turns to become a conducive market for adult contemporary music for older mature adults for those who are over 40. In the 2000s RUclips, ringtones, and free music downloads changed the music industry drastically and Urban mainstream music became more juvenile and ratchet which it still is today. Social media has become a curse but a blessing for many older artists from back in the day. They simply can generate income just to go on tours and perform repetitious songs that people love yearly.
That’s kinda true. That’s why Usher is definitely a anomaly! Because bruh bring out 20 30s 40s 50s 60s 70s 80 90 year olds anytime he drop
His industry age was 25 in 2000 he wasn’t 30 until 2005 so cut it out. Chris brown and usher are past 30 still relevant. Usher is ginuwines age.
Usher is not Ginuwine’s age.
@@niterida380 their industry ages are about the same yes. Nobody knew g was 5 years older than his industry age until years later when he told the truth. To the public they were only 3 years apart. Usher just came later.
@@Sunshinestarryrose I always remember thinking Ginuwine looked "old" for his age. Extremely good-looking, but just older. If it's true he lied about his age, this now makes sense.
🙋🏾♂️Timbaland left him to pursue pop artists like Justin Timberlake, One Republic, etc.
Meaning, Timberland had sold out for the hit songs
Exactly he legit left RnB to help Justin Timberlake and his crew and sold out I think
@@societiii Timbaland did contribute to the decline of R&B. HOWEVER. I do have a theory. I think Timbaland somewhat lost interest in R&B once Aaliyah died.
@@theheroinu nah fam cause he was helping missy make some sleeper RnB hits and Justin Timberlake some heavy ones for the mid 2000s And do you not forget Nelly furtado promiscuous girl n her other hits
@@societiii I forgot about Nelly Furtado, he and SoShy had a big hit here in Europe too.
It took me a while to get into Ginuwine's thrid album cuz Timbaland didn't produce most of the songs on there, but after a listens it became one of my favorite R&B albums of the 2000s.
Tim only had one song on it.
Imo he didn't skip a beat. That album is loaded with heat. Hardly any filler tracks.
It’s a great album … and Timbaland produced “Two way”
Timbaland did him hella dirty 😂, left that man high & dry like nobody’s business lmao
I am a huge Ginuwine fan. I bump him (still do) so much that my both my kids are fans as well. He'll always go down in history as one of the best to ever do it.
I still bump The Bachelor and 100% Ginuwine, one of Goats of R&B fo'sho!
Indeed. See what I mean. Even the hard rocks were listening to those albums. Those two albums were some of the best that genre had to offer
growing up i vividly remember Same ol g being played in my house non stop.. one of my favs of his
i know we joke and laugh on social media but he's really an icon fr
That same ol g was tough
Usher was onto something when he dropped Confession. But where he went wrong was he took a long hiatus where someone like Chris Brown took advantage of his absence. Plus, Usher's follow-up album didn't have JD.
Ginuwine could followed Usher path and went mainstream pop but he didn’t I appreciate that, R&B is truly his lane very underrated artist.
He Did Go Mainstream
Ginuwine is one of the best R&B singers in his generation. He has worked with Timbaland until they fell out with each other. His dance moves were also great as well. All of the ladies wanted him with his unique voice. He had some classic songs like Pony, Them Jeans, Same Ol’ G, So Anxious, What’s So Different?, None of Your Friends Business, Differences, and many more. He formed a supergroup as TGT with Tyrese and Tank. He is still rocking the crowd with his hit songs and performing all over the world today despite not releasing any more albums.
I think G is extremely underrated. Quiet as kept there’s not a lot of his contemporaries who’s beating him in a Versuz song for song. Joe, Avant, Tyrese, Tank, Bobby V, all gets dubbed. It’ll take one of the Goats or a group to beat him, especially now with the meme status.
Ginuwine's songs will make folks wanna do something strange for a piece of change💯😂
R.I.P. R&B
Only if you lonely is that shit. That song will have you in your feelings lol
Good job with Stunt Growth on this one. Timbaland was the man, not just for Missy, but for Ginuwine. Then Usher took his place, then Chris Brown took Ushers place. Crazy soap opera. But I salute all these brothers for the time they had.👍🏾
I know that his Legacy is Tarnish now but where would you place R.Kelly.
@@stephenheath8465 R Kelly, & ppl who really pay attention will agree with me, he is in a different lane. His music 🎵 speaks for him. He writes really good songs & he comes off vocally, rather than an all dance performance. He was doing that with Public Announcement, but then he just changed lanes. It’s hard to explain, but he’s entirely different.👍🏾
@@stephenheath8465R Kelly is still #1. ginuwine’s peak was #2 behind R. Kelly.
Pony still hit!
Ginuwine has classic songs under his belt, songs I’ll always listen to. Sad truth is tho, he was never really all that when it comes to singing live. Hundreds of videos here on YT to prove it. And it ain’t that he has to be a Luther or so n so but I always felt that he needed to put more work into his vocal technique. And this ain’t hate either, I love the brother and his music. I’m just giving an honest observation.
Getting married could have been a partial stunt. When Usher got married it hurt his sales
Ginuwine used to dance far better than usher. Also ginuwine was one of the few that wrote his own songs. “Only when your lonely” was the type of songs the average person could relate to
Facts. Ginuwine always was the better dancer between the two.
Yes! I played the song nonstop. Especially in my depressed moods when I was a teen. It helped me.
Exactly
Thank you! I was so confused that he said that.
Ginuwine wudda been Hotter Longer if Timbaland was still with him. Image Ginuwine on Cry Me a River
Ginuwine definitely is a legend… actually has a deep and solid catalogue The Bachelor, 100% (classic), The Life, and The Senior are all great albums. 💿 🎶
Maybe if Ginuwine would have collaborated with D.J. Quik in the early to mid 2000's he may have reinvented himself. Ginuwine is still a talented artist he just got to evolve in a grown man status like someone like Nas or other artists. We all are getting older.
Pop basically became the new R&B
Ginuwine - I’m Sorry, is still fire! 🔥
The dancing was on point in that video also.
@@AndreTheGiant85 preach! 🙏🏾
Can we get a Sisqo stunted growth next?
Those bastards at Def Jam blackballed him and ruined his career.
My introduction to him was his first album. I think he helped make it cool to be smooth and debonair at a time many R&B artists still was trying to be rough and play a little on the street side (likely to the heavy influence of Hip Hop and Hip Hop being the support to help R&B artist get crossover and vice versa). I think G honestly bought into his own hype and got in his own way. He lacked being grounded and it cost him. If you look at stories from other artists such as Tank you can start to see Ginuwine had what it takes to be next level but did not have to vision/discipline to understand growth as an artist and here we find him on StuntedGrowth! Great video.
Timbo was the reason Gin stood out. Ginuwine has always had a unique voice, but the Timbo and Missy magic is what made it unique.
It would've been interesting to see what kind of music Ginuwine would've made with the neptunes
Shout out to Ginuwine. We used to get a lot of nice dances to that In Them Jeans song back in school
This entire video was accurate. Seriously. Especially about Usher. That Confessions had that summer on lock. I wasn't even a super fan or R&B at the time and even I had that album bumping it. One of the best albums ever made. Ginuwine still has two classic albums himself. The Bachelor was incredible and still holds up to this day due to Timbaland's production. I miss 90s and early 2000s R&B. All of it had charm and charisma to it.
His first 3 albums are my favorites, particularly the first 2. They're CLASSICS 👍! Never realized that him and Timbaland had tension in the early 2000's. They had chemistry at one point. Sad. If Ginuwine plans to put out music, the big word IF I hope that him and Tim can patch up their differences so they can make music like a family unit again. Because not even half of the year is gone and we're losing our musical heroes. I don care if they work on one or two songs. I just hope they can be a unit again.
Ginuwine earned the GOAT status and has the musical catalog to prove it!
Him and Allyiah needed an albulm together produced by Timbo
I feel Timbaland working with Justin Timberlake cost Ginuwine
I think so, too. Unfortunately, he didn't have a producer he could turn to at the time. I wish he could have gotten back with Devante he could have extended his career longer.
Dancing was on par with or better than anyone of his and all generations.
I’m a grown adult,,,woman and I been loving 🥰 and missing him since I was 16 years old,,,,, and he’s been making me feel so beyond blessed 😇 and grateful 😇 about his love 💕 and I’m grateful 😇 and still crazy about his Love and Prayers and POSITIVE LOVE 💕
R&b fell because they blended it with rap. The singers stopped being sensitive men and wanted to be rappers. Both genres started morphing together making this weird gangsta singing gangbanger pimp sound that's turning both genres into some corny sub culture. But every music genre has gone through this cycle where they get watered down to almost destruction then the people finally get enough and it resurrects.
Excellent vid my brother...just the other day I was asking my gf...."What the hell happened to R and B " 😢
Timbaland got with Justin Timberlake and got brand new
Bobby Valentino is one I really want to see from you.
For me personally, Ginuwine is a key figure in R&B as well as the era he dominated in!
He had a fairly short run, and he made the best of that run let me tell you!
Salute to Ginuwine for bringing R&B to another height, as well as staying on top as long as he could!
There will never be another era like the R&B genre in the 90s. That era with Ginuwine, Aaliyah and Missy with Timbaland doing the beats was classic
Timbaland gave Justin Timberlake his sound and his background dancer Darrin gave Usher his moves before that...Static Major (RIP) was the secret sauce in the Basement/Super Friends camp...he was writing the hits with Missy Elliot who usually got more recognition...most artists don't get a solid 5 years of success...Ginuwine had his time to shine...the group situation with Tank and Tyrese was profitable but it fell apart and they were solo artists any way!
Exactly!! Playa definitely was the secret sauce in their camp. Only artist who continued to work with Static was Aaliyah. They had so much music comin out together
im glad i aint the only who saw justin take ginuwine's sound and style
Ginuwine is 1 of the GOATS, not could've been. His first 2 albums are solidified. No skips 💥💥💥
Musiq Soulchild is another artist with a great catalog. I felt like the artist who was on his way to legendary status, but dropped the ball is John Legend.
When Static Major stopped writing for him he had less hits too.
First time I heard Ginuwine was on Tim's first album. The song "Joy" was a clear indicator that he was a force and even before his solo project I expected him to have some serious longevity. He had SOME but nowhere near what I expected. He is VERY underrated.
Ginuwine will FOREVER BE ONE OF MY FAV R&B ARTIST FROM MY 90's CHILDHOOD!!!!
100% Ginuwine is def a classic (Do You Remember, I'm Crying Out, Final Warning What's the Difference) but he's so UNDERRATED FOM HIS CRAFT!!! OneMoGIN👑
So Ginuwine started the braids at the top w the fade all around 🤯
I used to work in the concert industry, working security backstage. I did this many many years ago. And one thing i told myself. The thing that was going to hurt G, was the fact that people were going to get tired of trying to see him because he would always cancel his performances. He wouldn't show up. Especially if he opening for someone or he was going to be on stage. He would bail. Anytime someone would get on stage and announce that he wasn't showing up. You would hear an instant sound of disappointment from the audience. Nothing but chatter from all the women. Word of this type of behavior gets around. Once that happens I'm sure it doesn't help your career.
Thank you so much for the insight. I didn't know he would actually do that. Like I always say, the fans dictate the product. You diss your fanbase in any way, they won't forgive you.
wow that's crazy smh. shame on him for doin all of that
Ginuwine is HUGELY Underrated …. 🤦🏿♂️. 🎤
Timbo left Genuiwne for Justin Timberlake, he got himself a young white Avatar that launched his career even higher.
It's that same old G clip in the beginning 😂😂😂😂😂
G was my idol growing up.. his music and dance moves drove the ladies wild 💯
That is my all time favorite Ginuwine song "So Anxious!"
His catalog of music is still top tier till this day….. I constantly ran “SO ANXIOUS” like crazy‼️…. Now he’s just getting his money the best way he can,he doesn’t have to do much anymore his fan base is loyal‼️🏆👉🏽👨🏽🗣️🎵🎶🤷🏽♂️🤣
You never experienced a great childhood until You put on some baggy clothes, threw a lil soapy water on the floor n staRted gliding on across the floor with Pony blasting in the background 😂😂😂. STILL JAMMING GINUWINE TIL INFINITY AND BEYOND!!
My 2 Favorite R&B Songs EVER are So Anxious & Differences both from Ginuwine 😎😎🔥🔥
I was not expecting stunt # 2. I get it tho. Great vid
I can listen to his first two albums at any moment, I love those 2. Classic classic classic. The other stuff I like songs here n there
Great upload
Another great episode of course!.
I want to request the supreme tier Lady stealer, Mr dirty mac himself Joe.
"I wanna kno......."
Do one on Mario Winans next please.
I was so I love with this man when I was a kid 💜
For the second time you got me on this one stunted growth 😮
Good points!
Ginuwine TBH didnt have a major stunted growth. His run just ran it's course. A new generation was coming in and that how it is the industry
The depression he went through over the death of his parents probably played a role in it too
Try to do one on Aaron Hall aka The Nasty Man.
Maybe Danny Boy as well.
*We NEED one on Aaron Hall!!!!*
Got a big crush on Aaron as well.
End of Silas records really ended a lot of careers :/
@@agluv7360 FACTS!
@@SoRealBeauty HAVE AT HIM, SIS! 🤣
Definitely underrated! The track record of his first 3 albums alone should put him head and shoulders above most!
Think about it. That man can hold his head high. Name any other artist today that are going to have classic albums like this years down the line. A lot of them are going to be considering stale and aged bad. You can still go play those Ginuwine records and they sound incredible
I absolutely love Ginuwine, his style, voice, songs, and more! Thanks @StuntedGrowthMusic for doing a great and much needed segment on Mr. Elgin "Ginuwine" Lumpkin!!💖💖💪💪😘💌😊
#MuchRespect2U&AllThe'G'FansOutHere!!
Usher, R kelly, etc didnt interfere with the success of Ginuwine's first two albums, because Timbaland gave Ginuwine a unique sound that put him in a lane by himself. Although Ginuwine's 3rd album only had 1 Timbaland song. I think it was his best. Because it proved that he can make a commercially and critically successful album without depending on the sound of Timbaland. Plus it was more R&B than his first two. BUT, his 4th album was generic af. Thats WTF messed up his career. After that, it was over. You should do a stunted growth of DeVante Swing. He went from competing against R Kelly and Babyface as a self-contained writer/producer/musician to allowing his own protege (Timbaland) to become 1000 times successful and popular than him.
Devante swing is definitely a great suggestion...also the robbery that happened to him around 1993 played a huge role in his downfall...wasnt really the same ever since
He also had an alcohol problem, still will always be a fan of his work.
Stunt #4: Not the "Same old G"
Stunt #5: A little too "Anxious"
Stunt #6: His Whole Life Changed After Divorce. (Differences)
Stunt #7: Not enough room "In Those Jeans." Lol 😂
What?! 😂😂😂
LOLLLLLLL
Interesting 😂
my fav r&b singer...
Bout time we're getting into these crazy Timbo beats
Usher was in the game since 1993. He first came out as Usher Raymond. His song was "Call Me A Mack".
In my teens I was a total Ginuwine groupie! Saw him in concert 5 times, he was first crush, knew all the words to his first album [without reading them] and his second and third albums. By the senior I seen a change in his passion, for music.
Definitely Ginuwine deserved a longer push. Can you do growth stunt on bobby brown please.
Gotta do one for D'Angelo, Carl Thomas, Special Ed, Twista and/or Major Figures
Unfortunately they got rid of R&B as a genre of music
True
"G" is one of the best to ever do it. 🎤
One of the best...the Truth 😊
“Undies?” Dude I haven’t heard that word in years.
Tim started working with Timberlake giving Gin music to Justin which in turn made Tim a household name.
I love Ginuwine, he’s my fav and he’s still fine!
Bro.... Genuine had an amazing voice, still do
Ginuwine should have could have aligned with R. Kelly after his fallout with Timbaland. Would have kept him relevant.
He's extremely talented ❤
Too bad so sad 😢
Usher coming through is a good point, but really Justin Timberlake is way bigger factor because that's who Timbaland cooked up with after Ginuwine....not Usher
You should do one on SPM it's a wild story and he should have went far
World is so cold is my shit
This is a good one, but pls do Vic Mensa !!!
Ne-Yo next please
