R&B singer, Sisqo’, from Dru Hill was featured on the OWN network on the show,“Where Are They Now?”, and he opened up about why his success in the music industry stopped.

When Dru Hill came on the scene, everyone loved them. Like most R&B groups, there’s always one person that stands out. The person that stood out in Dru Hill was Sisqo’.

Not only did he stand out because of his platinum blonde hair, but his voice soothed your soul and you couldn’t help but to rock back and forth when he belted out his names in songs.

The group was popular in the 1990’s, but ultimately broke up after Sisqo released a solo album called, Unleash the Dragon (which contained “Thong Song” and “Incomplete”), and the less-successful Return of the Dragon. While the group broke up from 1999 to 2002, they reunited in 2014 and have been back on stage ever since, with a few member changes.

Sisqo was featured on OWN a while back, where he candidly discussed his pitfalls in the music business.

“Once you get to that level of success, you have to play the game. That’s what I did not understand,” Sisqó says. “I thought that once you get success, your job was the ‘Robin Hood’ situation… You know, I’m from Baltimore; nobody has anything. When somebody had talent, I was hiring my uncle, my cousin, you know? Getting people that I knew to run the studio.”

Sisqo’ and the music label were at odds because Sisqo’ wanted to use his own people to give them a measure of success. What he didn’t know is that sometimes where you’re going, you have to leave people behind.

“Me and the label just started bumping heads because I was ‘hard to work with,’” he says. “Instead of putting their person behind the console, I would put my person behind the console. Instead of getting their rapper to rap on it, I get my cousin to rap on it.”

In Sisqo’s opinion, he wasn’t being difficult. He had dreams and those dreams included helping his people in Baltimore.

“I’m like, ‘We gonna eat too,’” he says. “I was doing the best I could to feed my family, bring the money back to Baltimore.”

Dru Hill’s Sisqo made us feel like it’s 1999 all over again, with the new release of his “Thong Song” remake. In case y’all haven’t heard by now, Sisqo dusted off his thong song routine, gathered up about 20 thong clad ladies for the video and got to dancing with the pop group, JCY.

The remake caught many fans off guard – both in a good way and not-so-good way. Although many were surprised, Sisqo told Buzzfeed that it was about that time for him to upgrade his ’99 multi-platinum selling banger, stating,”It was time to put some new rims on the Bugatti,” in reference to his song’s remake. Check out the remake below…

Fans React

After folks on social media caught wind of the new ‘dumps like a truck, truck, truck,” video, they interestingly had mixed reviews. Some were ecstatic over it and felt that it was the best thing since sliced bread….

While others were curious as to why there weren’t more “dumps” in the “trucks” of the video models they chose for a song like “Thong Song.” There was also some discontent over the lack of melanin in the video, which was unlike Sisqo’s original, more diversified “Thong Song” video in 1999. Lastly, some fans feel that no matter how great the remake sounds, a classic should never be remade…

Had no clue of who JCY was. Now I know them as the Norwegian dj/producer group that got #Sisqo to gentrify an American classic. #Thongsong

Original “Thong Song” Video

Compare the remake to the original version and let us know what y’all think…

Quite frankly, I think there should have been more diversity in Sisqo’s and JCY’s new “Thong Song” video, but the actual revised song is solid. Overall though, it’s good to see Sisqo still doing his thing, he’s a an incredible artist. He and his Dru Hill ‘brothers’ are also consistently performing and killing the stage everywhere they touch down. Gotta love it!
