The Top 10 Corniest Male R&B Groups Of All-Time

We’re not quite sure when it happened, but somewhere along the line, male R&B groups went from the pulse of urban music to becoming damn near extinct.

At one time groups like the Jackson 5, The Temptations and New Edition were the talk of music, but in the late ’80’s, ’90’s and the new millennium, as R&B music started losing popularity in pop culture to Hip-Hop, male groups, boy bands or whatever you want to call them, started dying off.

Of course, artists like Usher, Trey Songz, Chris Brown and R. Kelly have kept male R&B singers at the top of the charts and as popular as ever, but the same can’t be said for male groups.

The public perception of male R&B groups in today’s climate…well, there’s just corny.

We hate to point to finger, but here’s a Top 10 list of The 10 Corniest Male R&B Groups Of All-Time, and it’s perfectly fine to blame them for the demise of male singing groups all together.

10. Subway

R&B corniness was at an all-time high when this group from Chicago stepped on the scene.

The thought that you could put a group of guys together, dress them alike and have them perform synchronized thrusting in their video was the wrong move.

Subway Ft. 702 – “This Lil Game We Play”

9. D.S.R.

At first glance, you’d say this was one of the hardest rap groups ever. But take a second look and the Dirty Rotten Scoundrels from Sacramento, California were actually one of the corniest R&B groups to ever have a hit single (“Gangsta Lean”).

D.S.R. – “Gangsta Lean”

8. Another Bad Creation

New Edition member and founder of Boyz II Mean, Michael Bivens, thought he was on to something when he put these kids from Atlanta in a group together.

Though their debut album Coolin’ at the Playground Ya Know! did go platinum in 1991, they were still corny.

Another Bad Creation – “Iesha”

7. B5

After B2K came and went, this Bad Boy group never stood a chance.

B5 – “All I Do”

6. Dru Hill

Dru Hill wouldn’t have been so bad, but Cisco refused to let go of the blonde hair. And after he went solo and released the “Thong Song,” anyone that was a Dru Hill fan became an undercover Dru Hill fan.

Dru Hill – “In My Bed”

5. Color Me Badd

These guys were huge in the early ’90’s, but lets be real, but this group was nothing more than a singing group of Vanilla Ices with a black guy.

Color Me Badd – “I Wanna Sex You Up”

4. Day 26

The “bitchassness” was just too much for us to take.

Day 26 – “Since You’ve Been Gone”

3. Immature

Marques Houston grew up and made a decent career after Immature, but not before they birthed a whole generation of sissy R&B groups that came after them. (See: B5, B2K, Day 26).

Immature – “Never Lie”

2. B2K

The B2Gay jokes basically wrote themselves, but who knew some (if not all) of them were really taking it in the rear?

B2K Ft. Diddy – “Bump, Bump, Bump”

1b. Pretty Ricky

When Pleasure P realized how corny Pretty Ricky was, he got the hell up out of there and did pretty well solo.

Unfortunately, the rest of Pretty Ricky is still running around making corny music.

Pretty Ricky – “Grind With Me”

1a. Milli Vanilli

We don’t even know what to say about these two. But it doesn’t matter, they weren’t singing the words to their own songs anyway.

Milli Vanilli – “Girl You Know It’s True”
