Of course, I don't know Devante personally, but I think his demeanor towards press and media changed when 1. He saw how grimy the music industry is 2. After the home robbery. Extreme trauma changes people. Plus, he never really got his props for putting Missy and Timbaland on. So, I understand why he said screw all this and basically became a hermit. I just want him to know that he has fans out here...younger, older, in between who see and recognize his genius!!! My dying wish is to meet and have a conversation with the one and only Donald Earle "Devante Swing" DeGrate Jr.
Precisely. I think maturity and his few years spent in the spotlight have opened his eyes to the way the industry and its people truly operate. There are times when I want more for him but when I think about it, I can’t blame him for taking a step back. I think I would’ve done the same.
@@jodecidal I think would have done the same as well. It was great to see him touring with the guys and getting props from his peers. I really hope he enjoyed his experience on The Culture Tour. I hate that I missed them, I wish they would have come to New Orleans!
I doubt it
Unless he write a tell all book ( I doubt) we'll never know. Might have been too much too soon. Dude was 22 and all the girls worshipped him. And if course that made him cool to us. But that might have been overwhelming and at times annoying. And alot of genius minds have conflictions in other aspects of life. Sometime he might not have wanted to be a sex symbol and just focus on music. But of course it was part of his job to play up the sex symbol role. 91 Jodeci so different from the 93/95 versions. I like these OG clips.
They all look so innocent and fresh. And De spoke with mad confidence. Now he is like super quiet.
He was very talkative in video interviews when they first stepped out on the scene. It didn’t last long.
Same with Aaliyah… I noticed that with her.. it’s like the older she got the more reserved she got… I guess fame does that to them
@@phantom-gg7en But we got my man Babayface staying humble 😤
First time I seen Devante so Animated 😀👍🏼
Kci was always trying not to let Dalvin behind
That’s his homie in the group. Remember both of their brothers didn’t want them in the group. lol Jojo and DeVante are quiet and cool
Jodeci was that group of the 90s
Devante Swing 😩😍
Yes ! That man was so damn fine!😩
I was always hooked on Dalvin
1:44 this is why my old ass is still screaming over them like it's 91 again .
No one is ever too old. 😭🤎 We’re all in this together!
awww they were babies 🥺
I thought the DE was for Degrates, dalvin & devontae last name. That made sense too
I'm so excited seeing this, feel like I just got warped back to 1991 seeing them for the 1st time!
When artist were just themselves now everybody super extra I love Jodeci fo life
Young kings so innocent there style Gospel Background made them different that What I like about them very humble so happy to See them back together in 2022 to see Them Live is so Lit 🔥Jobeci forever ❤
I’m in my late 20s and grew up listening to old school Jams like Jodeci my mom always played them and other artists and from there on people he saying I have an old soul
Can you imagine a concert tour with Jodeci, Boyz II Men and New Edition...🤩🤩🤩
Kci really always tried to make sure we knew Dalvin. Now it makes sense for the name because I was always wondering where Dalvins intials were .
My favorite men on the whole planet 😍😍😍😍
Devante 😍
R.I.P. Todd 1
Who

JoJo and Mr Dalvin ain’t saying shit lol 😂
Jojo always been like that 😭 never said nothing . But I’m surprise Dalvin not talking
My babies 😘
I love this.
DeVante 🤤
Damn Ian never seen this before
My babiesss. 🥰💙
I was 2 when this came out😩
Who group fine ash 😍😩😭😭
This interview would have to be sometime in December 1991 based on FML being the major single out at the time and Stay getting released to radio the week of December 14, 1991 meaning the video would have to have debut somewhere in the period of late December 1991
My birth year😂
Correct
Sooo pleased indeed .
Jojo is my favorite
I would love to see video of them singing in the hotel lobby in queens if anybody taped it.
Todd 1 was a cutie back then too.
You notice back then kci and jojo didn't talk like they talk now with southern accents. I wonder why they speak like that now??
K has always had remnants of that southern accent, but I think all of them picked up on the city flow quickly. His accent was an infusion of both imo. Both of them are permanently in the south [now] though so that’s probably why it’s prominent again.
Devante swing. Beautiful 😊 4 beautiful
I wonder what street they are on in nyc.. look like Harlem
1:50
Dalvin looks odd and uncomfortable
He just looks shy and fresh faced lol
He was super cold lol
@@chuckwilliams9409 True. I can’t imagine the adjustment from NC to NY’s weather. 😂
No he don’t.
