Prime Ginuwine was a real problem for a lot of artist. G could sing dance and entertain his ass off

[@purrinkittyz4737]

He wasn’t a problem for anyone.. there’s enough room for EVERY artist to be successful.. he was one of many talented artist

Actor Michael K. Williams was a big fan of R&B singer, actor, and humanitarian Ginuwine at his 1997 Showtime At The Apollo concert. Wow that was a surprise.

[@awesomestar7597]

His vocals omg❤️❤️❤️

[@ww6942]

This gives off huge Aaliyah vibes! Music, moves… Timbaland prod 🤘🏼🖤 Aaliyah performed there too, ‘97.

[@njaayy4392]

Yeessirrrr. If yo girl only knew

[@sherrymickey8101]

Well Timbaland produced them both

[@RoughTake]

Dude was next level. Don’t think the crowd knew this song yet, as no one’s singing along with him. Anyone who has ever heard it even once, can’t help but dance/sing.

[@domarq]

We all knew it. It was a HUGE hit. This performance was April, 1997. The song was banging in the late summer/fall of 1996. If anything, the audience was busy staring at him (especially the women).

[@pCOCKPRO11]

Right. Different regions would get new music at different times. So it definitely looks like his first performance. It didn't take long but he won them over with his confidence and stage presence. I rememberJamie Foxx making a joke about how the west coast would get music super late, "We still listening to Boys II Men".

[@winstoncannady4224]

It was catchy af

[@DarkandlovelyLovely]

Look at that fire in his eyes as he looks into the crowd. He wasn’t playing. He was definitely a triple threat. I see why he became what he became.

[@LogicalLove]

I Love it. A true live performance that doesn’t involve vocal enhancement such as auto tune. Yes he does look funny now in the tick tock videos but please respect this man’s performing skills. He has earned it like so many of our O.G entertainers.

[@MeaDiaz04]

He still dance just as good its just extremely hilarious in 2022 🤣🤣

[@jasmineadriane]

Exactly!!!! He got away with his dancing back then cause he was young and fine it’s the sammmeeee lol 😂

[@ladybird491]

​@@jasmineadriane He is not ugly now. It is funny to disrespectful young people who love to hate on older people.

[@jasmineadriane]

@@ladybird491 never said he wasn’t still a handsome man …you misinterpreted what i said. I simply said it was overlooked because of how fine he was. I’m glad you assume that I’m young lol lets me know I’m aging like fine wine 🤣😅 but saying I’m “hating” on him or “older ppl” for his dancing or LACK THEREOF is a reach.
