Based on sales, Boyz II Men is one of the most successful R&B groups of all time, having recorded five #1 pop hits between 1992 and 1997. They have since topped sales of 25 million records. Three of their #1 hits, "End of the Road", "I'll Make Love to You", and "One Sweet Day" (a duet with Mariah Carey), set and broke records for the longest period of time a single remained at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Boyz II Men were originally signed to Motown Records from 1990 to 2000, at which point they were moved to parent label Universal Records. After the 2000 album Nathan Shawn Michael Wanya, Boyz II Men moved to Arista Records. In 2003, Michael McCary left the group due to chronic back problems resulting from scoliosis. As of 2005, Wanya Morris, Shawn Stockman, and Nathan Morris continue to tour and record as a trio.

Just take a minute and catch the vibe
Just take a minute and catch the vibe
Just take a minute and catch the vibe
Coolin' in the studio you know how the story goes
Bobbin' our heads to the tune we're about to do
It's a laid back swing thang
We need peace here to get it on
Having fun as we go, makin' sure the flavor shows
'Cause we're feeling alright
Takin' the time to freeze our minds and have a ball, ya'll
Everything's fine it ain't nothing to it 'cause
We're gonna do it all, what are
We're just vibin' dancing the night away
Groovin', vibin', don't stop until the break of day
In the dark room, where the groove right
In the basement music just right
Nothing goin' down but the mellow sounds
Of Mr. DJ's turntable's goin' round
A mad sensation, a crew of women around sparks inspiration
To set something off the right way to hear the people say
That we're feelin' alright
Takin' the time to freeze our minds and have a ball, ya'll
Everything's fine it ain't nothing to it
'Cause we're gonna do it all, don't you know that
We're just vibin' dancing the night away
Groovin', vibin', don't stop until the break of day
We're just vibin' dancing the night away
Groovin', vibin', don't stop until the break of day
Just take a minute and catch the vibe
Put your mind at ease, just catch the vibe
Just take a minute and catch the vibe
Don't press yourself, just catch the vibe
Just take a minute and catch the vibe
Put your mind at ease, just catch the vibe
Just take a minute and catch the vibe
Don't press yourself, just catch the vibe
We're just vibin' dancing the night away
Groovin', vibin', don't stop until the break of day
Just take a minute and catch the vibe
Put your mind at ease, just catch the vibe
Just take a minute and catch the vibe
Don't press yourself, just catch the vibe
Just take a minute and catch the vibe
Put your mind at ease, just catch the vibe
Just take a minute and catch the vibe
Don't press yourself, just catch the vibe
We're just vibin' dancing the night away
Groovin', vibin', don't stop until the break of day

Craig mack was stifled by thorns in his side
Without that his roses would climb
And sit in our consciousness
Which is where it belongs
Fast flow intricate tracks
Bringing rap lyrics to facts
Like a baby to diapers
Fitting like a language alphabet
Slow moments to decipher
His flow which gets you
Way before you know

I don't care what anyone says....NOTHING will ever compare to 90s hip-hop, 90s RNB, 90s Music Videos (from any Genre)...and the all-time best Hip-Hop/RnB collaborations were ALL in the 90s..just like this sensation right here...absolute fire!!

100 I was 14 in 94 when this came out the whole 90s was fire
Vintage Donny 1990
Facts No Matter What Any Artist Trying Bring Back The 90s Flavor They Just Can’t Duplicate The Original

80s was better musically bro. Hip Hop goes to the 90s by a little too.
keepin' It Real
If anyone thinks otherwise, means they got nothing to do with real music.

@Metaphysical Perspective I believe the golden era of hip hop and r&b was from 90 - 98

Craig Mack had that it factor. His voice and ability to flow was mesmerising. This track you just want to have on repeat and just keep rewinding back to Craig Mack’s intro. The way he went out was sad, very talented artist. R.I.P.🙏🏿🎭
Michael Bull

The Final Trinity
