Meanwhile, Total had R&B fans sipping from their hands with hits “What About Us” from the Soulfood motion picture soundtrack and their epic collaborations, including “Can’t You See” with Notorious B.I.G., “What You Want” with Mase, and “I Can’t” with Foxy Brown. 702 was responsible for songs such as, “Get It Together,” “Steelo,” “All I Want,” and “Where My Girls At.” Now if you know your music history, 702 and Total left an unforgettable impression on R&B music in the 1990s. Fallon, Felisha and Aubrey made it very clear on day one that they did not want to be in a supergroup with some of the other ladies – mainly the 702 and Total singers. Talk about pressure! While most of the women got along (Nivea’s personality and Shamari’s optimism stood out in particular), there were some women who were not vibing at all. The catalyst of the show is for these veteran singers to ban together to create an entire album and live performance as an R&B supergroup by the end of 30 days. On the first episode, viewers were reintroduced to solo artist Nivea, twin sisters Fallon and Felisha King of Cherish, Kiely Williams of 3LW, Aubrey O’Day from Bad Boy group Danity Kane, Shamari DeVoe of Blaque, Pamela Long from Bad Boy group Total, and Irish and LeMisha Grinstead from 702. The new experimental reality show BET Presents: The Encore single-handedly flatlined the legacy of the once hit-making female group 702.
