Aside from that man-group (TGT) he tried to form with Tyrese and Tank, every '90s kid knows that Ginuwine—known offstage as Elgin Baylor Lumpkin—was one of the most prevalent and distinct artists that contributed to R&B at the time. His Billboard-toppers are still worthy of heavy rotation: To this day you can play "Pony" in any public or private setting and expect the prompt recognition of every late-twenty-something female within earshot, who will then demonstrate their urgent need to bump 'n' grind. His sexy-smooth hits like "Same Ol' G" featuring Timbaland, "In Those Jeans," and "Differences" were the soundtrack to our way-too-adult thoughts. With a new Timbaland-produced album in the works, this could be a bright new beginning for the singer. JENNI MOORE
