@bettywhiterules5 no. It's technically not. It's technically the start of millenials. But we who are of 77 to 82 are a blank generation. We understand what nobody else does. Believe that
Yeah man from the UK I was always impressed by her and that fact she was representing England made me feel good. And she was doing tunes with the he heavy hitters like queen latifah
@@jimlewis7200 True...my point was though that there weren't many rappers from the U.K. back then or even now. Most rappers during that era were from the New York area. I couldn't really hear a British accent in her music
Oh my gosh!!! I know I’m late with this comment but this is when everybody just freakin got along man! Every genre had their own peoples enjoying their music and nobody gave a flying flip. Living life to the max. Who can relate?!
Literally the best decades for music to get the crowd. on the dancefloor steaming.....I was DJ at that time. Simply no words to describe the weekends.....
Nobody was flowing like Monie back then. Before her I don't remember anyone spit their lyrics so fast and staccato. People of Jamaican descent just seem to ride a beat different from other rappers.
Monie Love performed this song on In Living Color during its second season in 1990. This takes me back when I lived in Maryland during that time ('90-'91) when this song came out. At the 33rd Grammy Awards in 1991, "Monie in the Middle" was nominated for Best Rap Solo Performance, but lost to MC Hammer's "U Can't Touch This." The following year, in 1992 at the 34th Grammy Awards, she was nominated for Best Rap Solo Performance again for "It's a Shame (My Sister)" but lost to LL Cool J's "Mama Said Knock You Out."
Bro the beat to this song has been stuck in my head for 30 years. That electric organ riff in this song is killer. And that bass line too, it's just unreal.
@@melissaharrison5718 I love to hear that. I don't think I've ever met a person in real life that knows this song, let alone likes it as much as I do. You made me happy :)
💯It is one of the reasons why I keep coming back to this video. In this period, dance moves, hairstyles,and gear was ill. The B-boy/Breaking/Graffiti era was wicked as well.
I took notice of this with women rappers. Rappers like Lil Kim,Foxy Brown and Lauryn Hill blew up around the sametime in the late 90's. Since that time we've seen more versions of Lil Kim and Foxy Brown and fewer versions of Lauryn Hill. Maybe it's because it's easier to find women rappers like Lil Kim? I mean,any woman can do what Lil Kim did. Lauryn Hill's thing was more creative/complex. So it may be harder to consistently find Lauryn Hill types that can also sell. This may account for why we hear so much of the samething when it comes to the current women rappers.
Still loving this song in 2021! Her flow was tight. Me and friends on the playground getting our young life rapping these bars...(lol) you couldn’t tell us nothing.
Back when Hip Hop told stories, took you on journeys, could be anywhere in the world and feel like you're right there with them as they flow!! Long live the Legend of Monie Love, Queen LA, Mc Lyte, YoYo, Heather B, and all femcee pioneers!!
Here's the thing it's 2020 and they still haven't caught up to this joint, Monie rocked this hard as hell. This is what Hip-Hop is missing today that vibe, that feel, that ant any minute you can set it off. Monie 4ever, PEACE !!!
After watching her bless this in the virtual Pass the Mic on DJ Cassidy IG, had to come here. That Pass the Mic made me feel some type of way,. Greatest thing I've ever seen on IG, at least in 2020.
Takes me back to Video Music Box, Yo!Mtv Raps, buying 12”s w my friends as a tween on Fordham Rd in the boogie down (Bronx), and *PROPER* hip hop in general. I had such a mad crush on Monie ;) One of the world’s greatest MC’s of all time
This is really good rapping skills, l really enjoy her style and respect for the art of rapping, in the highest degree. A lovely sister indeed. Real Talk 👄
Been here over 25 years ago;. I know she's going to laugh! Everytime I eat cheesy and good food. I think of her. She's in the middle, like cheese.. My Sister!. Good times in my 20's. Now I'm in my 50's. It's very rare that we love artists like this. I'm Blessed to Still hear her on Atl station 104.1. My Sweetheart 💋😘. I'm sure that I'm older but she's still my inspiration ❤❤❤. She even kept Queen Latifah together but if course she never gotten credited for it. When you get so Famous and Big, you tend to leave certain people behind. But what goes around comes around 😢😮😂
I am living this song now and constantly re.minded of James Kenneth Williams 2nd who was my high school sweetheart that broke my heart and took another girl to the prom. We dated all years and he told me days before that he is canceling on me. It was sad. It was so sad. Then he went on to Marry a Carribean Queen. His college sweetheart. God bless America. My home sweet home.
I miss these days of Hip Hop… Shit was just so Fresh back then…Every Artist was original & had there own style… I’m glad I grew up in that era. 💪🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I’m so connected Thought of her music 🎶 In 7th the knucklehead walks in & sits down beside me....” Then low & behold It’s her birthday?!?!!!! Happy Birthday Monie 💕
10 years old today is different from back than,lol kid catch the city bus today, in couple hours , parent reporting missing, worst, they have a cell phone.lol
I miss this era of female rappers ie; Queen Latifah, Mc Lyte, Yo-yo Monie Love and many more that didn't have to sexualise themselves to get their points across. So talented 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I’m 74 and I think this is outstanding
My Generation X 1965-1982/the days when Hip Hop Music was KOOL and FUN to listen too.
wtf you talking about? this is my generation. this came out in 90. and I was born in 81 was never part of gen x
@@JokersNtheOddball '81 is the tail end of Gen x
@bettywhiterules5 no. It's technically not. It's technically the start of millenials. But we who are of 77 to 82 are a blank generation. We understand what nobody else does. Believe that
people who were born between 1965-1982 belongs to Generation X. rather you want to or NOT. blame your parents not me. I'm from that generation too.
@@mysticakhenaton1701 *1980
Really miss when jazz played a big part in hip hop
Old school is the best, 80s & 90s hip hop
Happy 50th Birthday to one of the most charismatic, insanely talented rappers ever Miss Monie Love. ❣️
I haven’t heard this in decades!!! This was my jam!!!🥹
When lyrics had meaning in the rap song. This will never get old!
Monie 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤
Notice artists that have talent don't need to accommodate anything else. ....talented speak for itself
Her flow is art
Miss these 90s style and videos
@@fairywishes7378 80s/90s
Bringing it back
Yeah it’s straight fire and nostalgic
The world was not ready for this masterpiece
I thought she was from New York back then but she's actually from London. Definitely a classic!
Yeah man from the UK I was always impressed by her and that fact she was representing England made me feel good. And she was doing tunes with the he heavy hitters like queen latifah
Yes dope
Still a classic new york or where either in this planet.
@@jimlewis7200 True...my point was though that there weren't many rappers from the U.K. back then or even now. Most rappers during that era were from the New York area. I couldn't really hear a British accent in her music
@@DLICIOUS42 agreed
One of the greatest female rappers to never get a real opportunity
HAPPY 50TH BIRTHDAY
SIMONE GOODEN
"MONIE LOVE"
(JULY 2, 2020)
Didn't understand what she was talkin bout back then cuz i was like 8, but i knew the hook. Queen Monie!!
Monie’s style and flow is so incredible! Its nice to see real hip hop how I remember it! AND when artists still made music videos! 🔥🔥🔥
Oh my gosh!!! I know I’m late with this comment but this is when everybody just freakin got along man! Every genre had their own peoples enjoying their music and nobody gave a flying flip. Living life to the max. Who can relate?!
This song never gets old
Happy 54th Birthday Monie Love!(Born July 2, 1970)😃🥳🎂🎉🎊🎈🎁🍾🥂🎀🌷🌹💐👍🏾👏🏾🙌🏾
80s 90 was no joke
I am with you 100% blujay girl!!!
I know. I lived thru both...
Literally the best decades for music to get the crowd. on the dancefloor steaming.....I was DJ at that time. Simply no words to describe the weekends.....
Amen to that!!!
HERE IN 2024! NASTOLGIC MEMORIES!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
2024, we still dancing and having a good time to this. Gen after gen enjoying this
Yeah we are 😏🎷
This remains one of the best HipHop House cuts of all time...
Nobody was flowing like Monie back then. Before her I don't remember anyone spit their lyrics so fast and staccato. People of Jamaican descent just seem to ride a beat different from other rappers.
Lisa Left eye was very memorable too. rip sweet girl. Love Monie; she looks great today. !
It's not where you're from. It's just that you have to know the lyrics and have good lung capacity
correct - toasting as it was called - is definitely embedded in jamaicans and their descendants
Roxanne Shante did it first and was the Queen of Battle Rap before Moni.🤷 I still loved them.both but Roxanne definetly did it first!!
@@3434abab TLC wasn't even heard of during this era Moni Love, Roxanne Shante, MC-Lite and Queen Latifha!!!
A classic. Monie Love remains one of my favorite female lyricists. Her flow, delivery, and lyrics are top notch.
Me too!!

She's going to appear on a new season of "Unsung" TV series..in march..can't wait to see it!👍
It was a good episode.
Bro the beat to this song has been stuck in my head for 30 years. That electric organ riff in this song is killer. And that bass line too, it's just unreal.

This is the ONLY rap song I can do start to finish. I’m 65 BTW 😂
I just had to add a comment, I am loving the backup dancer! A lot good Memories of all the good old school music video just great fun...
💯It is one of the reasons why I keep coming back to this video. In this period, dance moves, hairstyles,and gear was ill. The B-boy/Breaking/Graffiti era was wicked as well.
See how she can rap about a women and two men without taking her clothes off and cursing God I love her 🙌🏾❤️
Talent
Yes!
Originality at its best.
Saw her on do this Pass The Mic. Very talented and pure good vibes!
Love Monie
