Sometimes you have to know when its over. Knowing is half the battle. As a person, you can let foolish pride set in. But in the end, you should be the first person to know when it's time for you to quit. My friends know that one of my favorite athletes of all time is Micheal Jordan. MJ is my dude. When he retired (for the second time), he had just won his 6th championship and had cemented his legacy as arguably the greatest basketball player to ever put on a pair of sneakers. But after he retired, he decided to make a comeback. Bad move. He was nothing like the old Jordan. In fact, that's what he looked like...an old Jordan. Not a good look for him.One of my favorite r&b groups is making a comeback...New Edition. I saw them in concert here about 2 years ago and they put on one of the best shows that I've ever seen. I used to tell my pops that New Edition was like my generations' version of the Temptations. He's a huge fan of the Temps. I don't know if the Temps went away to ever have to make an official comeback. But NE is coming back. And they're bringing the King of R&B, Bobby Brown (lol) with them. I wish them well and I'll support the new cd.
On the other hand...some folk need to just let it go. Shut it down. Close up shop. One of the first people that come to mind is Michael Jackson. Word on the street is that Jacko is planning a comeback album. *crickets*
Jacko's time has come and gone. Long gone. He just needs to get the animals together and chill out somewhere.
What's your take? Give me a person/group or 2 who needs to make a comeback in music/entertainment or sports. And also give me a person/group or 2 who needs to call it quits. For those of you who think Hammer should make a comeback...I promise I won't laugh. Haaaaa
btw...i borrowed this title from my girl -1-. I hope she don't mind.

@ Hadassah
Ohhhh how I miss Lauryn Hill
@ Miz
lmao @ you! KC and Jo Jo made BOTH lists?
You don't like the idea of a NE comeback?
I'd rather have Bel Biv Devo back then New Edition. Bel Biv Devoe seemed to filter out all the crazy members that were in New Edition, although I still have a baby crush on Ralph.
ReplyDeleteSince Lauryn Hill is a given and everyone else already said it, I will say the FUGEES
MC LyTe - we need a real female MC right now
Amy Whinehouse even though she aint been gone that long... when she left she went full throttle...lol
Whitney Houston - and she's already working on it
Dru Hill - even though they just tried and failed...lol; have you seen that video?

ReplyDeleteD'Angelo - just sad what happened to him
Biggie and Pac - If ya'll think they really dead......Well I just don't know what to tell you.
SuperHead - She should leave book writing alone and get back to skeezin. The world needs more skeezers.
Not -
Rakim - Arguably the Michael Jordan of Hip Hop. Just fade to black my brother.
Al B Sure - Probably the worst singing star of the 80's. Heard he's doing radio now.
Soldja Boy -
I know, I know...he technically ain't left. But he's a gimmick not a rapper. When he does go away. STAY AWAY. LMAO
Wow @ Eb
ReplyDeleteShe said DeBarge, Case and I think all will agree that you took the cake with Tracy Chapman. HOLY SHHHHHHHHHH. LMAO
@ Eb the Celeb
ReplyDeleteI'm pulling for Whitney. I don't know how she's gonna do it but hopefully it works for her
Your list is pretty long! haaaa
Dave Chapelle HAS to come back
@ Brad
D'Angelo! Good call. That's my dude.
"SuperHead - She should leave book writing alone and get back to skeezin. The world needs more skeezers." LMAO!!! Soooo true. We do need more skeezers in this world
I gotta disagree about Rakim. I've been waiting on this "comeback" album for a long time.
Good stuff
Hey 12Kyle
ReplyDeleteI love New Edition! I was the one LL was talking about with the button on my sleeve. LOL
I went to see them in concert this past summer and had the best time ever! Not only did they put an incredible show but they looked great too! I felt like I was 16 again for those short 3 hours.
But I have to say K-ci and Jo Jo need to hang it up. They were horrible.
I am a fan of Janets but it's time to let it go.
I would love to Shai back on the scene. Those brothers could sing.
Please come back...

Did Shai ever do anything after that 1st cd?
@ Trish
Mannnnn, I'd love to see Guy come back.
Dre's ex wife is Miche'le
LMAO @ Bobby being the King. Whitney should have been pimp slapped for the comment. I wonder if she still feels that way being that she is his old Tenderonie that got left at the Heartbreak Hotel.
ReplyDeleteSit Yo Arse Down List
Kells-I heart R. Kelly's music, but dude is on some other ish right now
Mariah- No one understands all that damn mumbling
Janet- Can this chick sing in a voice other than a whisper?
Ron Isley- That last CD pissed me off
Should:
ReplyDeletePlease don't throw stuff at me when I say Destiny's Child was hot as a group. I'd love just one more album from them.
Sinbad was the funniest man back in the day.
Shouldn't:
If Lauryn Hill continues to wear red & blue clown makeup I'm going to insist she stays gone.
Foxxy Brown - lost whatever remote sense of sexy and talent she had about three court appearances ago.
NEED THAT:
ReplyDeleteSade...my love for you is stronger than pride.
D'Angelo...hope you get clean; you have that Jimmy Hendrix effect...
Maxwell...my wife loves you, ergo, I must.
Jesus...come on back now, bruh. Times are bad.
The Wire...how can you kill-off arguably the best show on cable TV?
Michael Vick....hope you come back and win the Superbowl MVP on dey azz...
KICK ROCKS:
Janet Jackson...until she learns that she's 40+ and should be wearing clothes and catering to a more mature audience. And stop toying with Jermaine Dupree's emotions.
Jesse Jackson...we got it now, don't feel bad. You help lead us this far..I think.
Eddie Murphy...need a different character voice. Every character sounds like the Klumps....not the same after Boomerang.
Ricky Williams (Miami Dolphins)...you blew your shot at greatness.
Celebutants...Kim Kardashian, Paris Hilton, Lindsey Lohan and anyone else who keeps invading my media space without doing shyt and not being attractive!
Michael Eric Dyson (cultural critic)....not sure who made you the elder voice of my generation or who told you that the psuedo rap thing you do is cool. It's not! It's foolish.
Roy Jones (boxer)...Loved your skills in your prime, but it's time to hang-up the gloves. It's okay. We all had to do it one time in our lives.
Phil Mickelson (golfer)...give it up; you'll NEVER catch Tiger Woods. Your legacy will be just that...LOL
I'm not sure about an NE comeback. I saw them perform an ole fave, "I don't love her...I try to tell myself, but you can see it in my eyes!!!"
ReplyDeleteOf course I know all the dance steps...but anyway...when i saw them do that ONE number they were sweating like the concert was done already! I've been luvin 'em since I used to request their videos on Hot Trax way back in the day, so I'd most likely support them - but it might be time to let go.
I'd love to see Maxwell make a comeback.
If Lauryn could get her shyt together, I would LOVE to see her back as well.
@ Queen
ReplyDeleteYou know...and I know...the Bobby IS the King of R&B! LMAO!!! You're right. She should have been slapped.
Ditto to RKellz. Why is he not in jail?
*sigh* Janet is done. She's still fine but she's done. LOL
Isn't Mr. Biggs in jail?
@ PrettyParker
If DC doesn't get back together, how are those other 2 chicks gonna survive? LOL
It hurt me to see Ms Hill looking like Homie D Clown. Damn!
@ Rezidl
Ditto on Jesus. We need you RIGHT NOW!
You know how I feel about a comeback for The Wire. I feel like a fiend right now. I've reverted to watching the 1st season again.
I'd love to see Vick comeback in a major way. I hope its here in Atlanta but I doubt it. If you're reading this Mike Vick...keep ya head up playa. And don't drop the soap. lol
Yeah. Jesse can beat it. He can take Rev Al with him, too!
Good list, son!
...for those missing Mike Archer AKA D'Angelo, ironically Allhiphop.com ran a piece on him today...
ReplyDeletehttp://allhiphop.com/stories/alternatives/archive/2008/03/27/19537615.aspx
This nut said JESUS. LOL!!!
ReplyDeleteBut that is SOOO true.
What about H-Town? Remember them?
I can't believe that I haven't seen Goodie Mob listed. Come on guys.
I agree Lauryn Hill, SWV, MC Lyte, and Queen.
Sports my vote...Willie Jefferies.
Boys II Men just released a "new" cd at the end of last year.
@ OD
ReplyDeleteThey were prolly sweatin b/c they are old and are still tryin to do those same moves.
Did Maxwell fall off the face of the earth or what?
@ Rezidl
Thanks for the scoop on D'Angelo. I'm a fan. I read the article. It's been 8 years? Wow!
@ mlinz
I heard that Goodie Mob is in the studio
I'd love to see Willie J make a comeback. But only in the Garnet and Blue
MLINZ...I don't think H-Town will get back together. One of the twins died in a car accident. Their last CD was pure FIYYAHHHH!!! I could be biased though because they are from Houston. LOL
ReplyDelete@Kyle...Yeah, I think he's in jail, but hell, that didn't stop Shyne and Ol Dirty B from making hits behind the bars! LOL
I'd like to see the late 80's early 90's come back.
ReplyDeleteAnd the 2000's need to sit down...even though I'm diggin Rick Ross.
Come backs:
ReplyDeleteN.E
Buju Banton
Carl Thomas
Stay Back:
Lauryn Hill, I saw her perform after that live album and she was a wreck and clearly it hasn't gotten better. She needs to get therapy.
Missy Elliot NO NO NO! Its old and tired now.
Souljah Boy I agree should just fade to black.
Beyonce: She needs to do a lil Relax, Relate, Release and give her fans a minute to breathe. There is a such thing as overkill.
Kelly Rowland: Poor thing you put the album out three times and nothing happen. Go on vacation and pray for Destiny's Child reunion.
who should come back?
ReplyDeleteCraig Mack- he had such potential, but P. Diddy (or whatever he's calling himself these days) was too busy sucking Biggie's d*ck to really get him out there... and sure, he's hideous, but so is Jay-Z and people still love him...
who shouldn't?
all of the R&B groups from the 80s and 90s... I love those mo-fos too, but they belong in another time and place and it's not here and now... it would be like bringing dinosaurs to chill in Central Park...
lol @ hammer.
ReplyDeleteI would love to see the beggar come back all the way back that is, Keith Sweat & Lauren Hill. I would also like to hear more of aaron hall.
I am with you on Micheal Jackson laying it down, all the songs are starting to sound alike. Same Goes for R Kelly.
F$%K it List...I'm with you on Beyonce....do an Anita Baker and just go live life a little. I don't need to see your face on my cereal box, my ipod AND my gas card....it doesn't mean you aren't one of the best performers ever...cause you are....just get lost.
ReplyDeleteIt's like being attracted to the finest woman and then meeting her and she ends up wanting to spend every waking minute under your nose....shyt get lost for a second and let me miss you a bit.
*wipes my feet at the door*.. first time steppin in. preciate the holla on da page!
ReplyDeletecomeback?
another bad creation! all grown up! LOL come out wit aisha 2008..
or the boys.. just change the name to the crew, or the dudes.. lol.. on a serious tip he aint really left but an eminem album would do. no matter what people say he still got bars.
who needs to fall back?
im tired of akon.
Who needs more recognition: little brother, darien brockington

ReplyDeletejay-z (is he gonna rap until he's 50? besides, he "retired" once already...au revoir!)
beyonce (at least for 2 years so we can miss her. with albums, re-releases of the albums, tours, cell phones, house of dereon-children's clothes, prom dresses, class rings, etc.....pretty soon she'll be peddling house of dereon toilet tissue...over exposure much?)
mariah carey (or please evolve your sound and look. i really need you to stop wearing too small clothes from the 90's and butterflies everywhere like your 12...you're about 38...please stop)
bobby brown (look, i love him for entertainment purposes....but gone are the days of tenderoni. it will never be the same...give up the ghost.

blackstreet had some crazy stuff going on with some of the members...but teddy sure rocked it on hip-hop honors last year!
i don't think lucy pearl/en vogue will ever get it together with all of their member issues either.
*whew*
ReplyDeleteJust thinking of all the folks that need to call it quits...
I will keep it brief though :)
Should come back:
Mint Condition (I still love them to this day)
Alexander O'Neal (when he is clean and sobered up)
Brett Farve (Just one more season.)
Those that should exit, stage left and NEVER come back:
Kwame Kilpatrick (that's a darn shame)
Wendy Williams (I am so sick of her!)
Flava Flav (with rapping and that darn "reality" TV show. Let him find love already!)

ReplyDelete@ Queen
ReplyDeleteLOL @ you. I guess you're right. Personally, I think it's sad that he's locked up. Let him out so he can to 10 more albums! LOL

Good analogy, bruh
@ swag_ambassador
Welcome to the 12th Planet, bruh. Thanks for coming thru.
I agree. An Eminem cd is much needed in the game right now. Also, good call on Darien Brockington. Very talented and underrated. Can't wait for the new Roots cd to come out, too!
@ PCD
"Can't leave rap alone the game needs me." Jay Z

Boys II Men (shaking my head) damn...what happened??
Everybody who has posted has had some great suggestions.

For your troubles, here's a few more to add to the "get the hell on" list:
Doug E. Fresh....Loved you...Loved you growing up....But give your jaws a rest.
Halley Berry....for once, believe in yourself. Until then, stop searching for love. Love yourself for about two days.
Sylvester Stallone....dude, you got caught with steroids and your are 70 yrs old....who you trying to be Jack Lalane?
Nukkas still trying to commit federal offenses....oh, really, you don't think you'll get caught...uh, huh.
Come back:
ReplyDeleteMartin show, Can anybody deny the historic levels of comedy that show reached?
Black sitcoms in general. Outside of the CW there are NONE on T.V.
Please go.
Crack cocaine: It's time has come and gone. You had a good run little rock but right now.......Crack is Wack.
HIV. No need to elborate.
I said it before and I’ll say again, insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results. Yeah New Edition needs to sit down somewhere, I’d rather see the Temptations make a comeback than them…
ReplyDeleteI really want Whitney to make a comeback! I want to dance with somebody b*tch!
eb- I heard Toni is fighting cancer right now...
LOL on the posts.
ReplyDeleteComeback - N.E., Jodeci, D'Angelo, Maxwell, the Fugees, En Vogue, Dru Hill
No comeback - 50 cent
I think MJ should do Vegas, like Celine Dion. I would go and see him if I was in Vegas. That would be a great show. I'm addicted to the XM Thriller station.

ReplyDelete-love me some Mint Condition (but see i don't think they ever went away, they are like Maze and Frankie Bev...timeless)
@PCD - I didn't hear that Boyz to Men album, they need to stop trying to be young with their nearing 40 azzes and just go ahead and do some that ole skool R&B Soul music, that's what's up.
You may have never heard of them, but i loved, LOVED this group call SOLO - man they were singing that ole skool stuff, okay, they made that song "Where do you want me to put it?"...y'all remember that? Anyway, i loved their debut cd, and their second cd wasn't bad, but they were trying to get into the hip hop market and then they vanished.
Chico Debarge - man i loved this dudes debut album...he needs to stick with what he knows and bring that ish back.
@kyle - I just think they would do better doing the ole skool circuit...cuz their music is cool, and they can always do their old hits, but they aint' really got the voices, to do nothing really hot for today...and ya'll know Johnny looking suspicious.
-Bring back En Vogue - the best singing DIVA's in the world.
4 kids together and one on the way! I can't believe she is having another one, see I told you first class ticket on the crazy train.
ReplyDeleteWhat is it with these Marley men they get you all wrapped up in them that you can't break away
The thriller station ends on monday? CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I didn't know that.
