Omarion, the first one on set, maneuvers between snacking on a fun-size bag of chips and calculating the physics of a new spin-and-toe-kick he put together in mere seconds. In less than an eight count, O moonwalks out and Raz-B emerges in his place. Raz mixes and mingles with folks along the periphery of the set, quizzing them on the best workday, entertainment spots.
Then just like that, he disappears. A flash of anticipation boils until J-Boog arrives. He hovers over the set with business-like acumen, observing the backdrop to coordinate with his wardrobe. He nods in great thought before retreating to the dressing room for a quick shape-up. Lastly, Fizz pops up with no fair warning. Now, there are theories about what fragrant extracurricular activities may be transpiring as each of them waltzes back into the studio with a noticeably tranquil demeanor, but to state anything as a fact would be a variation of the truth.
It all depends on who tells it, but the one constant is how quickly their conception and ascension happened. As their tale goes, the group met in B2K, the final four, or as Raz will later kid, the Avengers — whatever you want to call them, it would turn out that their star power, in fact, was somewhat supernatural. They were all inner city kids by way of Los Angeles, California. Yet, some unearthly force saw the vision before them. By the end of the year, B2K — or rather the life-size poster versions of them, courtesy of Word Up!
Kelly-penned banger featuring Diddy the group would later announce their decision to retire songs written by Kelly after the tour due to his ongoing sexual abuse accusations. The song served as an appetizer for their sophomore project, Pandemonium! The album debuted at No. It assembled an elite cast of black actors and musicians including Will Smith , Vivica A. Fox , and Ronald Isley. The visual storytelling was indicative of a black teenage saga minus the Godfather -esque kidnapping scenes, but there were several other defining factors.
Some of the greatest artists in music history come from there. A ghetto superstar is somebody that comes from there and was always a star. The height of their success, although fleeting, captured the zeitgeist of early s pop culture — the retro fashion, the dynamic dance moves, and overnight stardom.
The Millennium Tour is just a capsule to solidify that notion. The demand for the reunion was merciless, as they tell it. In many aspects, it really was about timing, Omarion discloses. They like to say the universe; I like to say the price. Fellow singer and child star, Sammie , criticized the tour organizers for excluding him. Some are continuing music while others have ridden the reality television train.
He just celebrated the 15th year anniversary of his debut album, O, which debuted at number one the first week of its release on the Billboard Top Charts. He participated in several tours, including a joint tour with rapper Bow Wow, after they released a joint album Face Off in Omarion reunited with B2K for a U. The tour was met with negative press due to the behind the scenes drama with him, Jones and Fizz.
He is now on the second leg of the tour, without his bandmates. Fizz was the rapper of the group. After the group split, he tried his hand at a solo career, releasing his debut EP, Payday , in on iTunes as a digital download release. So we had a lot of bonding time to really talk about stuff.
And me and Fizz just some really mature, adult conversations. But I think Omarion spoke for himself best. If you guys are in love, then leave him out of it. Leave him out of it. And I expressed how I felt. The musician also hopes to open a foundation, Boys To Kings, where young boys can have guidance and mentorship with navigating their way to adulthood — and all the emotional experiences teen boys tend to have but are unable to open up about.
