I think of it like GinuwineвЂ™s вЂњ PonyвЂќ or BlackstreetвЂ™s вЂњ No DiggityвЂќ-songs that rise above a genre that has too often seemed wilted beneath the dominant shadow cast byВ Kelly. As remixed by Jermaine Dupri, and featuring him and Da Brat, the So So Def remix of 1996вЂ™s вЂњIn My BedвЂќ is one the great jams of R&B вЂ™s bling era. To be honest, though, there is really only one other Dru Hill song that I like. I like it much more than I like most Dru Hill songs. I like the big organ chords that drive the melody and the guysвЂ™ voices sound gritty and strong. But, wow,В bananas!Дespite that, and despite the lyrics, I like the song. or the end of that wonderful new Erykah Badu video. And I donвЂ™t know whether itвЂ™s more like the Sistine Chapel or E.T. They have to really stretch, though, because they are at least four or five feet away from each other. Stopping about halfway there, he reaches out to her. He mouths the words, вЂњI love you,вЂќ and begins to crawl across the floor, on his fists, to where sheвЂ™s lying on the couch. Presumably the results of the bludgeoning with the golfВ club.ДЁ) The woman looks at the man. The man has a split lip and a sore jaw and is missing a tooth. He is a goodВ dancer.Д§) The womanвЂ™s make-up is smeared. (He has maybe pushed herВ down?)Д¤) Tao takes a bath in a tub surrounded by candles and rose petals, and gets a back massage from a different woman.Д¦) Sisqo does a crazy sort of Matrix-bullet-dodging-sequence version of the moonwalk. They argue and grapple and she falls down. She wakes up and throws a wine glass at him. Jazz summarizes the songвЂ™s meaning, though with words that seem to understate the seriousness of the situation: вЂњNeed an opinion, unbiased, someone to talk to/An outsider, someone who understands what weвЂ™re going through/Lack of communicationвЂ™s breeding this separation/And I donвЂ™t wanna loseВ you!вЂќДЈ) The man creeps back into the house while his woman is sleeping. Having somehow survived the attack, the man runs out of theВ house.Дў) Dru Hill dance and sing in the foyer. A video of the incident exists and the woman this man shares his mansion with watches it on his lap top while heвЂ™s sleeping on the couch. HereвЂ™s whatВ happens:ДЎ) We learn in the intro, which is set to a different song, that a friend of the group has been at some sort of party where a stripper sat on his lap and fed him ice-cream. Kelly would lift to operatic new heights with the Trapped In the Closet series. State-of-the-art when it comes to the kind of over-the-top, they-canвЂ™t-be-serious, deep-schlock cheese that R. (If only to serve as a reminder that the folks who brought the world SisqoвЂ™s monumental solo smash вЂњ The Thong SongвЂќ havenвЂ™t lost their sense of the ridiculous.) But even better, theyвЂ™ve made a video for a new single, вЂњLoveВ M.D.вЂќДЄ Dru Hill video is always worth repeated viewings. The album is called InDRUpendance Day, a title that would probably be worth a post of its own. Original members Sisqo, Nokio and Jazz are joined by a new member, Tao, who replaces Skola, who replaced original member Woody in 2000. The songwriting tends to similar themes, as do the songs themselves, but having the most polished harmonies on the R&B block makes Dru Hill capable of smoothing over any of the rough spots on Dru World Order.The millions-selling Baltimore R&B quartet Dru Hill are set to return in April with their first new album in eight years. The single 'I Should Be.' is solid, if a little in the line of standard material for them, but 'On Me' (featuring N.O.R.E.) and 'Old Love' are two of the most inspired songs they've ever recorded. And with the gospel fervor of new addition Skola, Dru Hill sounds stronger and smoother than it has in the past. First of all, it's largely self-contained Nokio produced over half the album, and much of the songwriting was kept in-house as well. The third album, Dru World Order, proves the group possesses as much talent as any of their contemporaries in the R&B world. When the group finally returned in 2002, though, it not only welcomed SisqГі back to the fold but added a member ( Skola) to make the group a quintet. After SisqГі's solo debut pushed two big hits ('Thong Song,' 'Incomplete') to the top of the charts, it appeared Dru Hill was going to have to recruit a replacement for its best-known name.
