Formed in Harlem, New York in 1987 by young musician/record producer Teddy Riley, the original members of Guy included Riley and R&B singer-songwriters Aaron Hall and Timmy Gatling, who were students at HBCU Virginia State 1988. Gatling left after the first album was done and was quickly replaced by Aaron's younger brother Damian. Upon its release, the album went platinum three times over and included classics like "Groove Me", "Teddy's Jam," "I Like", "Piece of My Love" and "Merry-Go-Round of Love". That first album quickly established the group and Riley as musical forces.
After producing music for other artists other than his group, Riley returned to the group after they opened for New Edition and released their second album, The Future, in 1990. The songs "I Wanna Get Wit U" and "Let's Chill" gave them a broader, mainstream fan base. However, as soon as The Future's success had dried up, Guy would be album-less for much of the 1990s. In the meantime, Riley went on to produce for artists such as Heavy D and Michael Jackson, and formed another R&B group named Blackstreet. Both Aaron and his brother Damian recorded solo albums, Aaron being a major influence on the style of R'n'b singer R. Kelly.
In 2000, Riley and the Hall brothers reunited to release their first album in nine years titled Guy III. The album featured the modest hit "Dancin'", but their label MCA Records had a hard time promoting it. As quickly as it was released, it quickly dropped from the public radar. Since then, Guy has been relatively quiet, but rumors of working on a new album still linger.
In 2006 They were part of New Jack Reunion Tour line up, along with Blackstreet and New Edition.
The Best
Guy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Working hard all by myself
Haven't been paid
Anxiety fucking with my health
Where's the time?
Had I been wasting my whole life
Even though the struggle's real
I'm not gonna let it
Throw up my hand
Gonna forget what's on my mind
I'm going hard
I'm gonna get some ass tonight
Spend all my money
'Til I'm down to my last dime
I'm gonna live my best life
Live my best life
Stressing me out
Dealing with your shit all week
Running your mouth
Well I don't give a damn bout what you think
Taking uptime
But I won't let you take what's mine
Even though the struggle's real
I'm not gonna let it
Mess around with how I feel
How I feel
Throw up my hand
Gonna forget what's on my mind
I'm going hard
I'm gonna get some ass tonight
Spend all my money
'Til I'm down to my last dime
I'm gonna live my best life
Live my best life
Best life
Best life
Even though the struggle's real
Just forget it
Won't let it fuck with how I feel
Throw up my hand
Gonna forget what's on my mind
I'm going hard
I'm gonna get some ass tonight
Spend all my money
'Til I'm down to my last dime
I'm gonna live my best life
Live my best life
Best life
Best life

Guy is soo underrated, the show is always interesting when he is in it, he deserves better!

@Genshin when you compare Minato to the Madara, Hashirama he is clearly weak 😘
Noro
@GenshinYou are just a fanboy, Minato never won against Bee + Raikage secondly Kisame could have ended Killer Bee but he decided to go into spy mode, Kisame was clearly above Bee.
And the last thing Killer Bee went stronger, he was still young when he fought Minato, just like Minato won against 14 years old Obito but would get clapped by adult Obito.
Kisame in Kakashi’s league 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.
Kisame won against Bee, the SAME bee that clapped without trying Sasgay and all his crew
Noro
@Genshin if you read the manga you’ll know 3rd raikage is the strongest of all time, even KCM Naruto couldn’t do anything against him. You are just a fanboy of Minato 😜.
The fact that you said 4th Raikage is stronger than the 3rd show us clearly that you know shit about Naruto, even 8 tails couldn’t hurt the 3rd
