Quotes

Ginuwine: (During an interview by Nooreen Kara on his success.) I always felt like if I ever got a chance, I would be successful. I was pretty sure of that, because this was something I wanted to do all my life and I was with the right people at the right time. (edit)
Ginuwine:I think people know how I get down and that's why I always try to give so much of myself on each album. (edit)
Ginuwine: Somewhat. Even though I've enjoyed a long run and am celebrating ten years in the industry, it never hurts to come on like it's the first time someone has heard you. (edit)
Ginuwine: On the Senior, the theme was that I was in high school situation and now, I'm in college, which means that it's good to brush up on the fundamentals, which is what I did. I made sure I had plenty of dance songs because dance music is part of my roots. But I also made sure I didn't forget those ballads, because that's also something I love doing.So I'm just going back to the basics of who I am, but I'm doing it in a new way. (edit)

"Underrated"
Talented, Ginuwine can do it all and I really feel that he is underrated and doesn't get the recognition a star like him needs. So go Ginuwine and everyone check Ginuwine out, you will be missing out on great CD's, Movies and everything Ginuwine does.
