He Had That Masculine Thing DOWN: 8 Mannish R&B Singers

Jaheim

I know ever since Whitney’s funeral, everybody associates Jaheim with that ridiculous purple suit. But let’s focus on his real career for a minute. It’s no surprise that Jaheim is a little hood considering he started his career as a rapper. Really, I’m glad he made the switch to R&B because his voice is a gift. If he had the proper material, I’m sure he’d be a bigger force in the R&B world. But just like Tank, maybe even a bit more so, he brings the street to those melodic notes of his. See what I mean:

If they gleam in the sun

while they spin and they fit on my truck then {I could remember}

And if it came in the sack

No stems no seeds in the bag girl {I could remember}

And if they drip from my wrist and they look like they shine like new then

{I could remember}

But Ohhh girl

I forgot to be your lover
