BUT since, Dru’s discography is pretty limited, as an added treat I’m throwing in frontman Sisqo’s solo LPs in the mix as well.Įdd said: Bet you forgot about this album! I certainly did, despite the fact that it’s less than five years old AND I reviewed it! Sisqo’s post “Thong Song” career has always been a bit of a rocky road, and that continues with Last Dragon. As usual, we’re skipping EPs, compilations and Christmas albums (though you should definitely check out their Christmas in Baltimore album if you haven’t already). Album quality, consistency, and impact on the genre are how the rankings are determined. Let’s look back at Dru Hill’s career and the LPs that defined them, ranking them from bottom to top. In the meantime, let’s revisit the glory days. With Dru plotting their next moves – Smokey and Black from Playa are now along for the ride – all we can do is patiently await Second Coming, their upcoming release in the new year. Rotating group members, infighting and inconsistent releases have slowed their momentum over the years, but make no mistake – that dragon logo is still the standard for R&B excellence.

Their story, though, definitely comes with struggles. Jagged Edge is another contender, but their best work doesn’t quite match up to Dru’s greatest outings.ĭru Hill very well may be R&B’s last great group. What other R&B group in recent memory can boast the quality of albums, worldwide appeal and hit records that those Dru boys can? Sure 112 comes to mind, but they released their debut months before Dru’s, so they don’t count. But the more I thought about it, the more validity there is to that claim. A couple of weeks ago, I read an intriguing hot take on these here Internets:Īt first glance, I was ready to argue.
