#Color me badd members then and now crack#

Mark Calderon says that was what caused the split the most because at that time Bryan AbramsвЂ™ drinking problem became everyoneвЂ™s problem. The third label they were looking to sign with backed out after Kevin quit the group.Дuring this time the guys were still living together in Long Island. And that would be the ultimate nail in the coffin. Kevin Thornton says a call from God made him leave the group.

Sam Watters left to pursue his writing and producing dreams.

Their third album (swear I didnвЂ™t know they released another album) failed to crack the top 100 on Billboard and were subsequently dropped from their label.ДЄfter being dropped from their label they signed with Sony and a heartbroken Tommy Mottola would not only hand them their worst single ever but he also predicted that theyвЂ™d never see the success of their first album. The sophomore album had two singles, Time and Chance with Ice Cube directing the video and Choose.ДЄfter their sophomore album caught the ill-fated jinx they were left out of the decision process all together. The group would release their sophomore album and in the midst of a new wave of music (grunge, pop and west coast hip hop) they tried to appeal to a very broad music base and failed horribly. Unfortunately disagreements with management and the label (member Kevin Thornton insists that the label and management were embezzling from them) substance abuse, sex addictions and a failed attempt to be more вЂњstreetвЂќ sent the guys into a downward spiral. The group seemed ripe for a long career in the business. Their debut album вЂњC.M.BвЂќ would go on to sell 6 million records and spawned 3 top ten singles. And we embraced them as if they were all black (just goes to show that music is color blind). There was one thing that separated the two groups, whoвЂ™s sound were both unique and refreshing during that time, there was only ONE black guy in the group. Another group who also didnвЂ™t fit that mold was Boyz II Men who would go on to break world records with their single End of the Road. They didnвЂ™t dance, they werenвЂ™t typical heart-throbs, though a case could be made for Bryan Abrams and they werenвЂ™t вЂњgangstaвЂќ. The group from Oklahoma City wasnвЂ™t the typical boy band.
