The album debuted at number 12 on the Billboard 200, selling close to 100,000 copies. Ginuwine's fifth album, Back II Da Basics, was released on November 15, 2005. Diddy's number-one hit "I Need a Girl (Part II)". In 2002, Ginuwine was a feature artist on P. In 2001, Ginuwine had a number-four hit on the Billboard Hot 100 with the single " Differences", which also peaked at number-one on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart.

Kelly have crafted hits for him since then. Ginuwine's first single, the 1996 " Pony" from Ginuwine.The Bachelor, showcased his smooth vocals and Timbaland's innovative production style, and the two became a hit-making duo.Īfter his second album, 100% Ginuwine, released in 1999, Ginuwine and Timbaland grew apart, and producers such as R. There, he met rapper Missy Elliott and producer "Timbaland", who became his main collaborators through the 1990s. Ginuwine can be spotted in one of Jodeci's videos. Signed to Epic Records since the mid-1990s, Ginuwine has released a number of multi-platinum and platinum-selling albums and singles, becoming one of R&B's top artists during the 1990s heyday of hip-hop soul. The Tank-led "Explode" slithers like his "Compliments," but it's nonetheless a highlight, as are "I Need" and "Next Time Around" - songs where the trio members sound like they weren't thrown together merely for the sake of standing out in a field that consists almost exclusively of solo artists.Elgin Baylor Lumpkin better known by his stage name Ginuwine is an American singer and performer. Opener "Take It Wrong," for instance, resembles a rewrite of Chris Brown's "Take My Time" (which happened to feature Tank in a non-writing role). Some of the songs are as strong as anything from the members' 2010s solo work, but not much truly stands out. It's heavy on slow jams and ballads, drawing from elder leaders of the form, such as the Isley Brothers, Roger Troutman, and R. A close second is that it required well over 20 additional songwriters - north of 30 if sample credits are factored in - to be made. The most notable aspect of the album is that it was released by an R&B group. He either wrote or co-wrote eight of the songs, while Ginuwine took part in four songs and Tyrese had a hand in two - four if interludes are counted. Tank is the most accomplished songwriter of the three - he penned "One" for Tyrese and "Heaven" for Ginuwine - so it's unsurprising that he contributed the most to the songwriting process. They're mature enough to admit imperfections and plead for forgiveness, yet they're not above being as over-the-top salacious as singers half their age. Several years later, the trio signed with Atlantic to make the satisfactory Three Kings, an hourlong affair that doesn't deviate much from any of the men's recent solo work. Restrictive industry logistics prevented the group from moving forward.

In 2007, Tyrese, Ginuwine, and Tank - singers who have well over a dozen Top Ten R&B albums between them - worked on a remix of Tank's "Please Don't Go" and then appeared on a Slim Thug track.
