Ginuwine can be spotted in one of Jodeci's videos. There, he met rapper Missy Elliott and producer "Timbaland", who became his main collaborators through the 1990s. Ginuwine's first single, the 1996 " Pony" from Ginuwine...The Bachelor, showcased his smooth vocals and Timbaland's innovative production style, and the two became a hit-making duo.
After his second album, 100% Ginuwine, released in 1999, Ginuwine and Timbaland grew apart, and producers such as R. Kelly have crafted hits for him since then. In 2001, Ginuwine had a number-four hit on the Billboard Hot 100 with the single " Differences", which also peaked at number-one on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart. In 2002, Ginuwine was a feature artist on P. Diddy's number-one hit "I Need a Girl (Part II)".
Ginuwine's fifth album, Back II Da Basics, was released on November 15, 2005. The album debuted at number 12 on the Billboard 200, selling close to 100,000 copies. Ginuwine stated on BET's Top 100 countdown that the album went Gold with sales of 500,000 copies.
In May 2007, an album entitled I Apologize was released in stores. Although attributed to Ginuwine, the release was an unauthorized album and only included three Ginuwine songs - apparently from stolen masters - and ten songs by other artists. Ginuwine spoke against the unofficial release on both his MySpace page and through YouTube.
Ginuwine's sixth album entitled A Man's Thoughts, was released on June 23, 2009. Ginuwine formed a group with Tank and Tyrese named TGT. Their first single was a remix of Tank's "Please Don't Go". They were supposed to tour but plans fell apart due to conflicting schedules.
Ginuwine announced on his Myspace Blog on August 21, 2008 that due to label and legal issues they will not be able to release an official TGT album. Ginuwine is the founder and CEO of LoveSong Incorporated, after completing his contract with 550 Music/Epic. Ginuwine announced on his Myspace blog on August 21, 2008 that he signed a major label deal with Notifi Records/Warner Brothers.
Wait A Minute
Ginuwine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wait a minute don't you hear me baby
It's gonna be alright we don't have to fight
Yea Yea Yea Yea, Yea Yea Yea Yeeeaaa Yea
Wait a minute don't you hear me baby
It's gonna be alright we don't have to fight
Yea Yea Yea Yea, Yea Yea Yea Yeeeaaa Yea
and you tellin me that your girl peeped me
In my Range Rover
Rollin down the ave pumpin out my new hits
I think to myself it's cool, so I keep reading
And it's you sayin that she saw me cheatin
Now I'm all confused baby
Then I get a grip it's just a little thing that I'm dealin with
Why she hatin on me? I don't really know what this is all about
But I'm finding out
Then my mind wanders
Start thinking back at the party
When she was all up in my face
And up on me
And grabbing on my arm and telling me things like how she was the bomb
Now for me it's clearer, that instead of you
You don't see the truth but she
wants me near her
[Chorus]
Now don't believe a thing your girl say
She wants to have what you have all
it is is jealousy baby put your trust in me
She really wants to ride my pony
But you're the one I'm giving it
you're the one I'm living with
Giving all my stuff and shit
So why you want to doubt our love
Don't let her break our world
Before you question me you need to check your girl
She done dished out more then she can take
And her ass can't handle it
But you're my woman and we're one
And I'm not having it
But it's alright, yes it's ok
I'm sure you believe in me and I'm sure you can see the truth in me baby
[Chorus]
[Repeat: x 2]
Fellas, wave your hands if you know what I'm talkin bout
Girls, come to G, if you all are feelin me
[Repeat: x 2]
Fellas, pump your fist if you know what I'm talkin bout
Girls, come to G, if you want to get with me
[Chorus]
