What Happened To Jagged Edge? | Reckless Behavior, Out of Control Egos & Drama With Destiny's Child?

R&B group Jagged Edge could’ve gotten lost in the abyss of other groups that looked and sounded very similar to them in the ‘90s. But they managed to carve out their own path right from the start and went on to achieve incredible success into the early 2000s.

[@cadillacdeville5828]

Thanks for this. One drawback with their promotion is that they weren't marketed correctly. It wasn't decided if they were a rap group,r&b or all of the above because of their presentation. It was such a mixture of how they were presented and that wasn't conducive, looking back. I'm in my 30s now and definitely remember being perplexed as how to take it when I was younger.

[@AmoMe2009]

Excellent and enlightening comment. Thank you. I was wondering why the promotion for their albums(with the exception of JE Heartbreak) was lackluster.

What’s unfortunate with the musical climate today is that there are no record companies that want to invest their time and energy into developing and maintaining a black boy/girl group.

They have smooth and powerful voices! I have their first 4 albums. My favs from each album 1, "A jagged era". I gotta be, Wednesday lover, Funny how, The way that you talk, I'll be right there and Aint no stopping. 2 "J.E. ❤️ break". He can't 💕 you, Let's get married, 🗝️ s to the Range and Promise. 3 "Jagged little thrill". Goodbye, Where the party @? The last album I have is the 2003 album "HARD". It was an ok album. Since they're making another album I'm definitely checking for it when it's released! They're one of my favorite all time rnb groups!

JE had a reputation back in the day for destroying offices among other things. I can understand him being upset about his father's situation (I think in Unsung he said his father died) but to do all of that and then later on do some more is not okay. Money probably played a role in her staying as well as the love she has for him but love doesn't hurt in that manner.
