My, How They've Changed

Boyz II Men were all fresh out of high school when they sky rocketed to music stardom in 1991. We asked them how they've grown during the last couple years.

How are you different from when you first hit it big?

Wanya Morris: My mentality has changed a little bit. In (business) meetings...I used to sit there and kind of goof around and do something on my own in my head. But now, I'm more into the business aspect of things. My brothers around me told me, "Look, man...we don't want to keep explaining things to you. You have to listen on your own."

Michael McCary: I've become more involved in the actual production of the songs. Taking on a lot more of the creative side, as opposed to just the business side.

Shawn Stockman: Well, I got an Afro, and I have braces, too.

Michael: (And) pretty soon, he won't be called Slim!

Shawn: That's changed. I'm working out a little bit. I mean, I'll always be slim, but I will be a little bigger slim.

Nathan Morris: I think we've matured a lot and have taken on a lot more responsibilities-as individuals and also a group members. Just surviving as a group I think we've all matured mentally and physically.
