      I say all the time we're STILL attempting to make Jodeci music to this day. But we can't. Because they were so skilled in all aspects that they damn near created their own genre of music.
      Devante might be the greatest R&B producer ever. I meant every word of that.

    Thank you for acknowledging the HUGE influence Jodeci had on R&B back then. They LITERALLY changed the sound of R&B. It's like 90's R&B grew up and stopped being so sweet since Jodeci came along. Pop R&B never lost it's street edge again. There really is a Before and After moment for R&B that Jodeci is all but entirely responsible for.

    Devante's genius was derailed. He is a GENIUS. People tend to overuse the word, attributing it to basically anybody who's successful in an industry. But Donald Degrate, Jr. was an INCREDIBLE musical visionary. His music lived and breathed. I can't adequately describe how good he was. I hope he heals and comes back in either R&B or gospel.

    Born in '88 grew up in the 90's and early 2000's.... But I've always said, if I could be in highschool in a different decade it'll definitely be the 90's. Today's r&b just can't compare. We still hear it all on the radio 'til this day.

    This video was so well done and excellent! I was in middle school when Jodeci came out and their albums had me in a chokehold from that point up through when I started college. I pray that they are able to enjoy some sort of peace of mind and continue to produce art, even if it does not reach the national and global level that it did during the peak of their careers.❤❤❤❤

    This is by far one of the most documented story of Jodeci! The late Andre Harell wanted to produce a mini serie similar to the New Edition mini series! My all time favorite RNb group with a genius producer. Devante was on another level. Paisley Park didn't open the door brcause you had allready Peasley Park in you! Thank you for introducing the Swing Mob. Too much talent . Devante knew that there was someting special in the water of Virginia! Thank you for the legacy .

Seen them perform gospel countless times and still listen to this day. Seen them in concert last year and they were amazing. I am a Jodeci fan 4 life. Definitely the bad boys of R&B, set a trend and had us all wearing Jodeci boots.

    Jodeci bridged the gap tween RnB and the streets. Their 3 main albums are solid. Todays RnB and music in general is poorer with their absence. If the Wu-tang were the rap Voltron , then surely Jodeci was the RnB Voltron. We will always love Jodeci and they can do no wrong.
