Throwback Treasures: Pras "Ghetto Superstar"

I always felt bad for Pras; the same way I felt bad for Beyonce's backup singers...I mean the other 2 members of Destiny's Child. He was talented but could never quite step out from behind Lauryn andWyclef's shadows. His solo debut in '98 actually was a club banger (Ghetto Superstar whose single of the the same title was featured in Bulworth staring Halle Berry and Warren Beatty) and was expected to go far. Then...the new millenInium happened. I thought his career had resurrected in '05 with the release of Win Lose or Draw...wrong again. Personally, I liked "Haven't Found", not enough to buy the ENTIRE album but still... In 2008 he launched a website, www.platinumbrand.com, that according to its mission statement it's "a global provider of video solutions and services. Our channels broadcast interactive music, film and video productions to enlighten and entertain our viewers." Hopefully that works out for him.
