  • In the tradition of The Jackson Five, New Edition and B2K, this group quickly became a modern musical phenomenon with an army of screaming fans following them everywhere. The boys won them over with their futuristic fashion style, epic dance moves, and global-ready pop songs. Then, their lead singer left and naturally, things were never the same. Let’s find out what happened to R&B/Hip Hop group Mindless Behavior.

    This group didn't really make it because of management's mistakes. They didn't give the group their own true identity. They were pretty much marketed as a new B2K after Raz B came forth with his experience being a B2K member. They should've marketed the kids as either r&b or pop singers. They used too much autotune on Prodigy's voice when he could sing, and focused too much on their dancing rather than truly helping them with their vocals especially as they were hitting puberty. When Prodigy, Roc, and Ray left, that wasn't "Mindless Behavior" anymore. The only singer was gone and the voices were all different. They had a new audience as young grown men so they were marketing sex appeal to grown women rather than the past audience. You can't turn a group from an innocent B2K to Jodeci 😂 It looks phony to the public. Their group name should have changed, and they could've possibly started out anonymous to gain a new audience because MB had too many problems that everyone knew about. I was a big fan of them and I hate that this was the outcome for them but life happens I guess.

    Something about being young in the eyes of the media tends to be a downfall for plenty of celebrities mentally. If they're not surrounded by a good group of people that can hold them up they'll instantly fall. The new guys that joined the group doesn't fit at all. "Valentines Girl" was one of my favorites. I can't believe I was young and crushing over mindless behavior especially Roc Royal. Those were the good ol' days but as i'm older it's funny to see now.

    Honestly I think the industry was changing and young singers/groups were fading away. Mumble rap and trap singing was taking over and certain groups couldn’t fit in with the new style. And management played a role of course.. I remember when Tinashe first came out and she had that big hit that was quickly overshadowed by everyone singing like Future. 2010-2014 was the end of vocalists and ballads unless you were already a veteran in the game

      No not because of colorism. Prod was the lead singer and did the most work throughout the group. Everyone else basically were mainly just dancing and having little parts in songs so its common sense that it was jealousy and mistreatment because one was doing more than the others. The boys probably felt like they weren't getting enough attention or were less important as prodigy and that's probably why it went the way it did. And besides, he has told the story on how he was treated multiple times over and never not once said it had anything to do with color. No need to bring race into everything

That’s why I have a special love for prod and always had as a kid because he was my favorite out of the group and he made us fans all the music like there wouldn’t be Mb with prod and it’s a damn shame ppl keep messing with him like he gave up his childhood to be in urs and went thru hell and tried his best to stay for the real fans that love him but yk he couldn’t take it anymore so he left so that’s like my explanation of how colorism was also effecting prod aswell

    I was 100% a major fan when My Girl first came out and stuck with them right until Prodigy left. I was always interested in bands and as many know when an O.G. member leaves, the group just isn't the same. I attempted to listen to their new album when it was just Princeton left but it was so different, like they didn't have a transition into music like that. We went from "Girl wherever your heart is I gotta find it" to "She gone grind on my lap till I lift off" like baby--- I'll always be sad that Mindless Behavior were the right group just produced by the wrong people. They truly had so much potential but they were robbed of their possibilities. Wishing the best for all of them though, especially Roc cause I know the group was helping him not go down the path of trouble and it just wasn't enough.

Not to mention TRL on MTV and 106 & Park were on & popping back then. The Internet was still fun pastime, no social media, no smart phones (just cellphones), kids still played outside, tons of teen movies, reality TV was still new. The movie, music, TV Industry were just obseseed with teens. It was a dynamic mix of old and new that made it a unique time to be a teenager and pre-teen.

    The ball was dropped for this group , I grew up with them I’m probably like 2/3 yrs older lol but they were the “ boy group “ for my time period . I personally feel like the boys , fans & the team behind them were especially rude & mean to Prodigy . After awhile the boys got big headed & it was obvious who the favorites were & it was a toss up between Ray , Princeton , & Roc meanwhile Prodigy was treated like a extra despite being the leader & main singer of the group . I met them SEVERAL times & each time Prodigy was always attentive & sweet acknowledging everyone but I can’t say the same thing for the fans who met him , a lot of people would speed past him during a meet & greet , barely say anything to him or would just ignore him altogether then when it came to pictures some people wouldn’t even bother to stand next to him . I seen all this happen in person I been to meet & greets , concerts , & pop ups so when I heard how he felt during his time in the group & to know he expressed this to the people around him & it was ignored bothered me a lot . But they had the potential & talent to make it far & bigger than they did but it was like everything was half assed as far as their management like didn’t expect them to make it as far as they did . They came out with the idea of being a new B2K rather than being a new boy group , so that became the “ slogan “ for them & it was mentioned all the time in interviews & introductions . They mainly focused on choreo vs training the boys vocals to where they leaned HEAVILY on auto tune for Prodigy & when the boys came into puberty there was no transition it was literally “ my girl loves me “ to “ keep her on the low “ lol we obviously know with age comes different interests but for the boys , the fans & the direction of the group it was a huge jump from being at 1 to somehow ending up at 7 with no in between . On top of the fact I feel like management & the adults around them didn’t make it a point to teach & emphasize unity between the boys & let them know no one is more important than the other & everyone is needed to make the group work because several of them started to think they were the “ it “ factor of the group which lead to beefs

      finally someone "awake" in the comments...everyone be talking "they had so much potential" what sheep like things to say....they were PRETEENS for goodness sake....babies!!! If yall were awake you would know what happens in the industry to celebrities despite age. they go through immense ABUSE....mostly sexual abuse and even..."andrenochrome harvesting"....which i wont dive into. JUST DO YOUR RESEARCH. why do u think some cover their eyes and always where glasses??? the eyes are the window to the soul....and for most of these stars their souls deplete.....they can only display sadness or emptiness through their eyes. The only thing that keeps them going is feeding off the energy of crowds when touring because it becomes an addiction which eventually turns into narcissism...leading to young broken men in the system which leads to broken future generations and vise versa for the young women in the industry. WAKE UP people!!! they are not circus animals for your entertainment...these kids are being exploited and all yall wanna do is talk about how much your "children loved them".....how sad. There are people exposing the industry daily and yall still turn a blind eye. Them falling apart was probably better for them then years spent in an EVIL industry...im sick to my stomach.

    I remember them from when I was in elementary school. I didn't know them well but one of my friends loved them.

    Ray-Ray was actually my sister's favourite.
    But I preferred Prodigy. They came when I entered junior high.
    They were one of my favourite groups.
