With their debut album Bluestars, Pretty Ricky seeks to fill the urban boy band void left by the breakup of B2K and other groups. However, they put a twist on the boy band formula by having more rappers than singers.…

1st of all..I understand what some of you females is saying. I aint gonna cuss none of yall out. Cause your immature and very slow. 2nd Some of ya'll know when you 1st heard that "Grind With Me" song you was either gettin excited, lovin dey style, or just lovin da song, gettin wet er' time you heard it.. etc...whatever gets you of..3rd you wanna knock em' cos they made it..b-4 they actually came out they was on the grind..holdin it down for Miami FL. Such as making songs called: La la La and some otha song. They was just holdin it down for dey hometown..none of yall knew nothin about them till they was known. Only the ones who lived in FL. 4th I'm looking at all of your prospectives. 1 some of the guys in pretty ricky aren't cute..or the finest. Pleasure and Spec get the most recounition for what they do. But I believe if theres talent they should be known for it. When ciara came out..rumors started spreading sayin she a MAN which by the way is another story. But yall loved her before you found out. But I'mah get that cleared for those who bangin ciara music in the car, house, stero, etc..she was a man..at 1st of all when she was 11 she was transformed into a man reason being that her dad kept moving from state to state. Never spending time with him/her. So he figured he get a sex change. But they didn't change her fully into man cos she was still growin as a man. And all her parts were comin in.
Anyway back to pretty ricky. All hatin on them for no reason. Spec, Pleasure, Baby Blu, and Slick em'. Is just making a living for themselves. Tryna make it. 5th If you don't like what you hearing don't listen to it. Ya'll black people should really be glad niggas is actually makin a way for us black people in this world. One day you might be lookin a P. Diddy as the next president or Dave Chapelle. Stop knockin are black people and give the support. 6th Fuck what you heard..it's what you live by. You live by the sword and you die by the sword. I give em' mad props. I love pretty ricky. No doubt. Come together...6th...I love Shorty Be mine, Chevy, Grind with me, La La La, Lay your body down. N fellaz thats on her cryin and statin stuff..you have no reason to be mad..cos i bet you gettin laid every night this song come on in club. LOL and ya'll should have hearsay no way cause they stated "We made this Album strickly for the Ladies". So....Whats....Really....Good?

And theirs no one that is going to change that at all people be haten on theme cause they can sing, ain't nobody tryen to say they going to be the next B2K there better then theme and will always be better then they ever was, so for all those haters out there you need to chill and think about yourself first now hate on that....

30 - why?
Whoo, let me just say right off the bat that the spelling on some of these comments about Pretty Ricky is terrible. Did any of you ever go to any type of school? Anyway, as a member of Pretty Ricky's target audience, females ages 13-23, I have to say that I listened to their album and it's really not that good. Yes, call me a hater, it won't be the first time. I know that Pretty Ricky's music is supposed to be sexual and fun and not have that much depth to it, but come on! They barely even get that right. There are a few songs that have some nice beats and almost tolerable lyrics, but other than that I'm not really feeling it. Oh, and the expectations for looks have definitely gone down. I remember when groups like Immature, Soul For Real, and not too long ago B2K had group members that were actually cute. No one in Pretty Ricky is even that cute. For real, if you saw any of them dudes out on the street and they didn't have a video on BET would you even try to holla at them? Please tell me there is someone else out there that has some sense when it comes to Pretty Ricky?

I wanna say that im with ya'll and wanna say a few things that are on my mind. So first of all I'm so tired of these damn websites and dumba$$ ppl dissin my Pretty Ricky. These are some of the hottest things out there and ppl seriously need to quit hatin on them. OH yea and by the way they all sing or rap in every song so i don't kno why you are cryin about Pleasure singin. OH and if u have even payed attention 2 tha words on tha album Grill Em is'nt tha only song thatz not about sex Tha song "Can't Live Without You" is about Pleasure's break up, Spectaculars dad, Slick Em's mom, and Baby Blue's girlfriend death, so ya'll messed up big time dissin that song, I mean some 1 died so I really don't appreciate you and I'm pretty sure they don't either. Well thatz all I had 2 say.
I'm Out

Pretty Ricky keep doin your thing. Spec is fine as hell and i'm lovin the Grind wit me video...y'all kno what i'm talkin bout, you kno when Spec be in the water...love that video! peace
PS: why do broads keep claimin Spec or pleasure like they kno them?
61 - Haley
to the girl who asked where the name pretty ricky came from:
Origin of name, Pretty Ricky: In an interview with SOHH.com, Pretty Ricky’s Pleasure explained: “All of us would dress alike in school. So when we come around the corner in the hallway, all the girls used to be like, ‘Oh, y’all so cute, y’all so pretty.’ Martin Lawrence had a show out at the time, and there was an episode with Pretty Ricky Fontaine. So Pretty Ricky is what they called us from the show. It just stuck with us from there ever since.”
There you go....
62 - $LiLspectac$
Hold on Haley but shut ur ol' yuck mouf a** up and who said we did kno spectacular it ain't like u kno him so don't try get grand cuz i loves to ride you n fa da 2005 school year and who is u calling a broad? may i ask cuz i loves to gets it with ur ol ugly a**
63 - pimpinstophatin
i love pretty ricky they iz off da chain me and my sisters listen to yall all day and night my favorite song is number 2 and 8 and 4 and hell i like the whole cd and all them haters that said yall ugly was hatin cuz yall fine even though slick em need to work on his a lil bit i love spectaculars voice and pleasures yall is sooooo sexy if i could meet yall in person id have a lot of questions to ask yall but if i could only ask one it would be whats your number cuz i love yall and yall gonna do real big. to me yall better than b2k and b5 maybe its just the way yall talk because yall get straight to the point and dont hide it and sometimes thats what a girl wanna hear man speccy and pleasure could have me anyday but i know im too young not like id care but thats kool cuz in a couple of years im legal but it aint nothin but a number well ima bounce cuz i gotta hear my song your body i just wanted to say i love yall and right now yall at the top of the game and now my new favorite group
64 - Haley
Lilspectac, you can't be serious... before you try to get buck with me, your stupid ass needs to learn how to spell. I don't waste my time on retard hos that think that spectacular actually want them.
So, do this:
1. get your mind right
2. get spelling lessons
3. get over yourself
PS: by the way, i never called you a broad. So why are you trippin'?
65 - Super Sexy
I don't see why anybody would hate on Pretty Ricky. They ain't doing nothing but holding it down and doing they thang. Ain't no other group like them. People get upset when they see young black African Americans commiting a felony but when they try to do something with they life then folks still got something to say. They all fine and I love them all. So all ya'll haters need to get on your job and sit on down somewhere.
66 - Haley
you're right super sexy
67 - $Lilspectac$
Haley'first of all i kno you iz not getting Jazzy with dis one right here and who did say specatacular wanted me bitch i suggest you keep your insults to your damn self before i fire off in your ass you bout it ass bitch cuz i say it how it's said i don't see nam bitch and if you want to tell me what to do i suggest you go to Bestheda memorial hospital and write down where it say mother's name i suggest you write yourz cuz last time i checked you was not Twyler Monique Anderson

69 - Tashika
I would like to say that pretty ricky album is off the chain and exspecially my baby (spectacular......he can sing my favorite song on that cd is YOUR BODY which is number one
70 - k-9101
A yo I do think that pretty ricky is raw, the sexyest ones in the group r spectacular & pleasure. sterfish u need 2 stop hatin on this fine group of talented boys cause they just trien ta be different from everybody else. this is their very first album. they might relate 2 sex a little too much, but they just doin what sells!!how can u not tell the rappers apart?! when spectacular is spitten a rhyme u can always tell cause of his deep sexy voice!!! an somethin that u might have missed while u were listening to their cd is that each boy brings there own flavor an style to each song. an its hard 4 a lot of other artistist to be able to pull that off. B2K was on the verge of doing this, but they couldn t keep it up. thats half of the reason why they aint together any more. im not trian ta through salt at anyone cause i was a fan of B2K's an now i'm a even bigger fan of pretty ricky. all i'm sayin is this, u have ta think like your a memmber of pretty ricky . what would u do if you wanted to make it big in this industry?! especially with up an coming talent like webbie, bobby valentino,boyz'n' da hood, b5, hell even stars that are already really popular. like nelly,lil john, usher, bow wow, omarion Jd{jermain depre] an many many more. sny ways if yall liked my comments holla at ya girl k-9101.
71 - SPECTACULAR'S BABY_05
MY BABY IS SO SEXY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!HE SEEN ME IN PERSON AND SAID I WAS ONE OF THE FINEST GIRLS HE HAVE SEEN YET... SO ALL YALL GURLS NEED TO LEAVE MY BABY ALONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CALL ME BABY!!!!!!
72 - 2 sexy bitches
Spectacular is the finest nigga in the group.This bitchis my man so back OFF
73 - Super Sexy
this ya gurl Super Sexy again and I agree with what k-9101 said. Pretty Ricky talks mainly about sex because they know that is what's going to sell. And any way they have already stated that the album is for the ladies ages 13-23 so what else would they talk about? I don't know about anybody else but I LOVE the album and all the songs, so they accomplished just what they set out to do my making the album. And apparently a whole lot of other females are liking the album cause folks keep buying the album.
74 - Frances
i love yall so much im kinda mad yall didn't com to augusta, ga for yall tour but i no deep down yall gone come one day but i love the group with all my heart but slickem with my heart mind body and soul and i just want yall to no ill always be your # 1 fan.
