How could anyone FORGET those lyrics and what song that came from and who was the artist/group that was singing it.

PRETTY RICKY- Original Members
      Diamond "Baby Blue" Smith
      Spectacular Smith
      Corey " Slick Em" Mathis
      Marcus "Pleasure P" Cooper


Pretty Ricky career started in 1994 in Miami, where they signed with Bluestar Entertainment  International by C.E.O.  Joesph "Blue" Smith, which also the father of all 4 original members.

In 2005 Pretty Ricky released their FIRST single which was titled, "Grind On Me". When I first heard this song I personally thought that it was one person and made someone or a group was being featured. With the type of name they have it just seemed like that's how it was. In Miami the song was the #1 requested song in the history of radio station WPOW Power 96. May 24, 2005 Pretty Ricky released their debut album "Bluestars" which sold over 56,000 copies it's first week and later the album went Gold worldwide selling over 1,000,000 albums.

Later that year member and brother of the members, Marcus "Pleasure P" Cooper was kicked out because of personal reasons. Some of the reasons that Pleasure P was kicked out is because it's rumors going around that he was a child molester & was sexual harassing his niece. Although none of this is really providing to be true or false, I believe Pleasure P DIDN'T do that. I believe he didn't do it because for many reasons such as the group was already having bad blood between each other because Pleasure P stated that he wanted to go solo. Also, the group was being called out about having sex parties, pill parties, orgy parties, and etc. 


Pleasure P


Since Pleasure P had left the group back in 2007-08 he has been doing his own thing and I personally believe that he is BETTER off by himself. He has released his own album titled, "The Introduction of Marcus Cooper" and his mixtape called, "4 Ur Pleasure".

Pretty Ricky was one of those music groups that had all the young ladies and women drooling about them. From their good looks to the way the sound when their rapping or singing, the group was an HUGE hit until they dropped Pleasure P, once they dropped him they haven't been the same at all. While Pleasure P is rising the group Pretty Ricky is slowly sinking. 

The picture above is an perfect example of what made the ladies fall in love with this group.
