Devante Swing: A Talented, but Troubled Libra

  • Here's a brief video reading about Devante Swing, an accomplished music producer, songwriter and singer. He was part of Jodeci, one of the hottest bands of the 90s.
    Documentary excerpts are taken from:
    Devante Swing and The Swing Mob (aka Da Bassment) | The Sad Ending by Renie Nostalgic: • Devante Swing and The ...
    I used to think he was so fine back in the day and he kind of reminded me of one of my Virgo exes. Devante's Venus, Pluto and South Node are in Virgo. Then he ended up looking all cracked out after his heyday. I remember seeing a video of him in a restaurant acting all crazy.
    He's one of those difficult artists who had a hard time achieving that balance between his art and his ego. He has Sun, Mercury and Uranus in Libra opposing Chiron in Aries. Those oppositions can make someone almost impossible to bear if you don't always let them have their way. The Earth Grand Trine that he has in his chart involving Venus, Mars and Saturn is what made him a hit maker as well as his overall success in the music industry.

      DeVantè is a musical genius; very talented and gifted. People who are like him often times have troubled lives. Nobody is exempt from having troubled times in their lives. The industry is one of the reasons for his downfall. So, people should not get it twisted.

      Omg a I just ran across this! What aboutbthe good things that came out of Da Basement and Swing Mob? If it were not for Devante training, and opportunity would any of those people be in entertainment business? In my opinion they were lucky! What does she mean his looks fell off? I saw the Jodeci tours on the internet and he is still a very handsome man! He is an overcomer! This is so misleading and mean spirited how can one handle spiritual matters and be so mean spirited and short cited! All of them should be grateful to Devante for what he gave them!

    I worked with Suge for awhile and was with him every day. I could definitely see how Suges influence could be a factor in Devante’s personality. also I met Devante thru a mutual Friend a female rapper name Bang Bang. Devante is a super genius. The brother doesn’t have a cell phone or an email. He’s built different.

    A lot of the violence came from Jodeci being around Suge and Deathrow. Suge started managing Jodeci so Devante witnessed a lot of that and began to use the tactics on his artists. It’s also believed Suge was behind the home invasion in which Devante was robbed of jewelry and music equipment and pistol whipped.

Definitely very talented, a genius but DeVante is a troubled soul. I hope he found peace.

    Truly a sad story. If he just had kicked back and been a chill guy, who knows how many albums jodeci would have put out. But that negative energy got to him and led him through a very dark path and messed his life up. so so sad. I think the drug use and alcohol was probably the start of the decline. That mess ain't for everybody. I always say, if you never try it, you don't know what ur missing. Got around some negative industry cats and couldn't be a leader.

      I don't care what nobody say .... I think Suge was behind that attack . . . Devante had all these NEW up & coming artist in Da basement (Swing Mob) . He had first hand collaboration with Puff at the time . Who was just starting Bad Boy records . And he was the master executive producer for Jodeci . Suge wasn't no Manager for real . . . He was a Bodyguard . He was the " MUSLE " for settling disputes for the record label . So all of sudden he's managing Mary J Blige . And he wanted Jodeci too . Then from out of nowhere Devante gets attacked . 💡🤔💡🤔💡🤔💡🤔

      Nah. Al B, was brought in to help refine the song from a production standpoint during the album creation process, and as a result Al B. did contribute to some lyric changes, one being the famous "so your having my baby" line, which was inspired by Kim being pregnant at the time. But the song was initially writen before Jodeci was signed to Uptown. Some remnants of the original lyrics can be heard on the forever my lady remix and in thier early (pre 1991) live performances of the song.

    They all have egos. The specifics of what to expect with that ego resides in the birth-chart placements.
    Libra sun men are restless in general. They can’t keep still with that cardinal air energy. I have yet to meet a balanced or harmonious Libra. I think it’s more that they need to always “find” the balance and “harmony. Due to being scales. They can be really sweet, which is the picking up chairs, will write love letters, shower you with gifts and support. Then the switch comes out of nowhere😂. Those darn scales need re-balancing.
    Folks acting like this doesn’t take place with most of these music managers or leaders of groups. It’s all a cult life when in groups.😅
    He lost a girlfriend or sacrificed a girlfriend 🤔.
    I also notice Aries has the ability to change the behavior of people around them…especially the male Aries.
    I know a few women married to Aries men, and those women have become extremely dark now. It’s like a demon took over them. I know Aries is the God of War…perhaps that war energy attaches demons to them and others around them.
    I no longer visit those ladies homes. You can feel the dark energy. And the Aries husbands are always trying to argue with me. They love chaos.

      Nope, Al b was brought in by the lable to help co-produce on Forever My Lady, but the original version of the song was already writen and demoed out before Jodeci was even signed. As a co-producer on the final record, Al B did contribute to 'some' lyrical changes, ("so you're having my baby") but didn't write the song initially, that was all Devante.

      @@anthonymoten5630 You sound silly, I just told you "the history". Devante wrote the original song, Al. B is credited as a CO writter and co-producer for his contributions. I always give credit where credit is due. FML was initially more like an interlude on thier original demo tape, when Al B was brought in to oversee the album process he and Devante took the song and fleshed the song out more.

      ​​@@anthonymoten5630Al B. Sure only wrote, changed a word or two from the song. Al didn't write the song! DeVante wrote that song. The song was one of the demo tape. K-Ci even said it out his own damn mouth that DeVante wrote Forever My My Lady" and Al B only put in " so you having my baby" That song was already written when before they got signed to the label. Know your history....
