Just about every major music group has ended in destruction. What I mean is that members start off with drive to be the #1 R&B or rap group in the music business, and as the years go by, someone gets an ego and that leads to internal strife. Each member feels they're more talented than the others, so that member starts smelling themselves. New Edition is a good example because they started off as childhood friends from the Boston ghetto, then as the years went by egos got in the way leading to group members going solo and infighting. The following tweet sums up my thoughts:
Watching the #NewEditionStory & like many music groups, egos get in the way leading to the destruction of the group. Everyone wants to be #1. If I went into the music industry, I would go solo.— Florida Made (@RichardMIATL) August 17, 2019
