![]() Because… why the fuck should THAT be a thing that happens? Why is that our world now? Social media is such a bonkers, complex web of tin cans on strings, I sometimes can’t even fit the idea of it all into my brain. I find it fucking HYSTERICAL that Color Me Badd favorited a tweet of mine in 2014. Even if that’s not true, it’s the lie I want to believe. That’s so fucking adorable, I want to stab myself in the eye. It’s probably one of the band members’ kids that’s running their Twitter account. Ultimately, how they steer the ship of their web presence is entirely up to them and/or the intern (?) that’s running their online affairs. I would think that, if you’re a group/brand entity like Color Me Badd, you’d have to have a “well, at least they’re still talking about us” mentality… bad press is still press, ya know… and, thus, would favor even the tweets that likened the song stylings of Color Me Badd to a collection of farting buttholes. I’m assuming here that they’re ONLY favoriting positive mentions, though who knows what Color Me Badd is all about these days. There is someone related to the band… an intern, I hope to god, although that brings up a whole host of other horrifying scenarios (WHY DOES COLOR ME BADD NEED AN INTERN IN 2014?)… that is searching around on Twitter for mentions of Color Me Badd, and then favoriting the tweets that contain said mentions. That is why the internet is a very strange place. The point is, there is still an entity out there that officially and legitimately identifies itself as the 90’s hip-hop group Color Me Badd, and they are present and active on Twitter. Maybe this Twitter account is just how they manage the Color Me Badd brand. Or maybe they’re NOT together, like “still out there performing” (which I think we can all agree would be for the best). I mean… maybe they’ve updated their look by now, I don’t know… but still. Color Me Badd are still together? Not to be ageist or anything, but I feel like a group of guys in their late-40’s/early-50’s busting out New Jack dance moves in ill-fitting multicolored suits wouldn’t be all that cute in 2014. This morning, I woke up to a little nugget of internet-based joy: ![]() Kevin Thornton released a solo album and has since moved to Tasmania.I was listening to some 90’s hip-hop yesterday afternoon, and tweeting about it (like ya do when you’ve been drinking).

Packed with big names like Babyface, Jon B and Boyz II Men, the album still failed to make strong ground on the charts. In 1996, the group released their fourth album, Now & Forever. Even still, the album failed to have as big an impact on the charts, with only 'Time and Chance' which reached #9 on the R&B charts making an impact. Featuring production by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, the album went gold. ![]() The album packed 19 tracks and was a more soulful effort. In 1993, they released their second album of new content, Time & Chance. With the exception of Forever Love, a single that reached #15 on the charts, the album was disappointing.
