What Happened To Mindless Behavior? | Bad Management, Bad Blood & Bad Behavior

In the tradition of The Jackson Five, New Edition and B2K, this group quickly became a modern musical phenomenon with an army of screaming fans following them everywhere. The boys won them over with their futuristic fashion style, epic dance moves, and global-ready pop songs. Then, their lead singer left and naturally, things were never the same. Let’s find out what happened to R&B/Hip Hop group Mindless Behavior.

This group didn't really make it because of management's mistakes. They didn't give the group their own true identity. They were pretty much marketed as a new B2K after Raz B came forth with his experience being a B2K member. They should've marketed the kids as either r&b or pop singers. They used too much autotune on Prodigy's voice when he could sing, and focused too much on their dancing rather than truly helping them with their vocals especially as they were hitting puberty. When Prodigy, Roc, and Ray left, that wasn't "Mindless Behavior" anymore. The only singer was gone and the voices were all different. They had a new audience as young grown men so they were marketing sex appeal to grown women rather than the past audience. You can't turn a group from an innocent B2K to Jodeci 😂 It looks phony to the public. Their group name should have changed, and they could've possibly started out anonymous to gain a new audience because MB had too many problems that everyone knew about. I was a big fan of them and I hate that this was the outcome for them but life happens I guess.

I attempted to listen to their new album when it was just Princeton left but it was so different, like they didn't have a transition into music like that. We went from "Girl wherever your heart is I gotta find it" to "She gone grind on my lap till I lift off" like baby--- I'll always be sad that Mindless Behavior were the right group just produced by the wrong people. They truly had so much potential but they were robbed of their possibilities.

No not because of colorism. Prod was the lead singer and did the most work throughout the group. Everyone else basically were mainly just dancing and having little parts in songs so its common sense that it was jealousy and mistreatment because one was doing more than the others. The boys probably felt like they weren't getting enough attention or were less important as prodigy and that's probably why it went the way it did.

[@justabreeze460]

Explain cause what???

[@naomiturnipseed2885]

@@makaylakaitlinhampton771 ur right but there was colorism especially with the fans being mean and rude to prod because he wasn’t mixed with anything and he was just blk and everyone wanted the other boys rather than him and ppl would tell him that he’s ugly and makes fun of him and till this day ignorant ppl still do it. That’s why I have a special love for prod and always had as a kid because he was my favorite out of the group and he made us fans all the music like there wouldn’t be Mb with prod and it’s a damn shame ppl keep messing with him like he gave up his childhood to be in urs and went thru hell and tried his best to stay for the real fans that love him but yk he couldn’t take it anymore so he left so that’s like my explanation of how colorism was also effecting prod aswell

[@cuzumakemyearfquake]

I never kept up with them since they came out so I just wanted to know how thats the case?

[@Bridreaming]

I was waiting on this one!!

[@sabrinaberryh3848]

My daughter was crazy for them. Princeton specifically. Took her and friends to the concert at The Beacon theater in NYC. It was fun to see all the girls screaming with excitement as I did for New Edition. Lol

thanks for doing a video on mindless behavior there one of my favorite rnb group i wish they would get back together and create music again i have the album #1 girl and their secound album all around the world

[@krystal5699]

Exactly even ray ray said in a interview if it’s for the bag he will do it 😂 but they should Atleast maybe to make a bit more money. Like solo wise they aren’t doing so good but together if they reunite right now while they are still young bruh they would selll out so many shows

I used to be obsessed with them! Went to their concert and a meet and greet! sad to see how it ended tho

[@sheluvsahbabii]

Maybe it was just me but… I always felt like Princeton was the problem… and he was the most liked bc he’s mixed and lightskinned

[@mindless.k6552]

It wasn’t cause he was mixed it was just cause he was cute. That’s why everybody liked Ray Ray, Roc Royal, and Princeton more than prodigy because they were “cuter than him” and Prodigy was “ugly”. roc had a little more girls than them cause he could also rap but that’s it. It wasn’t cause he was mixed he was just cute.

[@BriLaDivina98]

@@mindless.k6552 But Prodigy is cute, too, and ppl constantly called him the ugly band member. I believe it’s because he was the only unambiguous black member. The rest are mixed

[@tammygrant5198]

What...Prodigy was the cutest!

[@myanabook]

yea he was cute to some but for the majority he wasn't considered cute. Dare i say "ugly" they was tearing his ass up. Plus disconnected in general. But looking back he definitely was cute baby and deserved sm better.

[@mindless.k6552]

@@BriLaDivina98 he was really cute. And he was my favorite but most people didn’t like him. Out of all the team mindless stans he was the one with the least amount of girls. I’m pretty sure they didn’t like the other members cause they were mixed.

[@chanteeksmith947]

The ball was dropped for this group , I grew up with them I’m probably like 2/3 yrs older lol but they were the “ boy group “ for my time period . I personally feel like the boys , fans & the team behind them were especially rude & mean to Prodigy . After awhile the boys got big headed & it was obvious who the favorites were & it was a toss up between Ray , Princeton , & Roc meanwhile Prodigy was treated like a extra despite being the leader & main singer of the group . I met them SEVERAL times & each time Prodigy was always attentive & sweet acknowledging everyone but I can’t say the same thing for the fans who met him , a lot of people would speed past him during a meet & greet , barely say anything to him or would just ignore him altogether then when it came to pictures some people wouldn’t even bother to stand next to him . I seen all this happen in person I been to meet & greets , concerts , & pop ups so when I heard how he felt during his time in the group & to know he expressed this to the people around him & it was ignored bothered me a lot . But they had the potential & talent to make it far & bigger than they did but it was like everything was half assed as far as their management like didn’t expect them to make it as far as they did . They came out with the idea of being a new B2K rather than being a new boy group , so that became the “ slogan “ for them & it was mentioned all the time in interviews & introductions . They mainly focused on choreo vs training the boys vocals to where they leaned HEAVILY on auto tune for Prodigy & when the boys came into puberty there was no transition it was literally “ my girl loves me “ to “ keep her on the low “ lol we obviously know with age comes different interests but for the boys , the fans & the direction of the group it was a huge jump from being at 1 to somehow ending up at 7 with no in between . On top of the fact I feel like management & the adults around them didn’t make it a point to teach & emphasize unity between the boys & let them know no one is more important than the other & everyone is needed to make the group work because several of them started to think they were the “ it “ factor of the group which lead to beefs

[@mstijuana_84]

Man these young guys were so talented I love all the mindless behavior songs 🎵🎵

[@gabrielar9611]

I’m glad they’re all well and working on their mental health. They look healthy and not on drugs. Even though one is in and out of jail. They all need a little time to grow up. They say you stay stuck mentally at the age you become famous. Hope they mentally grow past 13 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@moomoobearincorporation528]

My little sister was such a fan of this group. It’s sad really as they were manufactured and didn’t actually have a true friendship among each other. It’s also like 3LW & PCD when you have ( management) trying to dictate what happens and making members feel obsolete and replaceable . I feel they have a better chance solo then regrouping.

If you are an 80's to mid 90's baby, you grew up in best era to be a teen, "The Teeny Bopper Era" - late 90's to early 2000's. Boy, we had Backstreet Boys, N'Sync, B2K, 98 Degrees, Monica, Brandy, Aaliyah, Destiny's Child, Ciara, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, 112, Jagged Edge, just to name a very few. Not to mention TRL on MTV and 106 & Park were on & popping back then. The Internet was still fun pastime, no social media, no smart phones (just cellphones), kids still played outside, tons of teen movies, reality TV was still new. The movie, music, TV Industry were just obseseed with teens. It was a dynamic mix of old and new that made it a unique time to be a teenager and pre-teen.

(late elementary, most likely middle school girls like me at the time, or high school) me and my friends would join the groups just to read these crazy stories too🥴 I think they were called imagines if I’m not mistaken! My faves were Princeton and Roc Royal it’s unfortunate that he has went down the wrong path and they don’t communicate with Princeton. Hope all is well with Prodigy and Ray Ray 💕
