Dope but he definitely rhymes. His flow uses diff style of poetry. He rhymes at 8 count rather than every 4. Some used it but not through the whole song like he would. Bless up you heard
You right.. rap will never get back to this. The industry again saw another way to make millions off black talent today. They didnt want to have anything to do with rap back then too risky in their opinion
Honestly, it never mattered to me if DeVante could really sing or not because his song writing, composing and producing skills is unmeasured and ahead of it’s time. He was truly the heart beat of the group. . Kci & JoJo was there vocally to you feel it all.
He was the Executive at Uptown records back then and even did sign up Father MC into Uptown ... Wasn't a back up dancer but as usual even till date he loves dancing in most tracks for his protegees ...
This song just makes me think Mo Money/Strictly Business/Boomerang/Boys In The Hood (cookout scene) etc. Man i miss the early 90s and the ppl that i loved that are no longer here😢
At one point this dude was a bigger star than Mary J, Jodeci were his "back up singers" and Puffy wasn't "Diddy" yet. Life comes at you fast boys and girls.
Please! Today’s rap is trash. We need more love, respect and happiness music, and less drug, sex, violence, and disrespect music. It’s old now. I’m tired of the hood. And R&B just fell off a cliff.
Eugenia Brown It's still around, just not like this. This is technically a fusion genre called new jack swing, and I hope it comes back so I can experience it.
I aint buying none of this shit thz days.its very rare tha joint has 5 or more bangas now unlike back then.. all thz cats n same lane now. Money,women,drugs,murder nd guns.. dumbin nd misleading our youth.. its sad. No more conscious nd deffly no more partyin n dancin.. FACT 😡😔
Rest Peacefully Prince Markie Dee and thank you for all the music & memories. From the Fat Boys, to your solo career and the many songs u wrote & composed like this one. Will always bump your classic "Love Daddy" album. #TrueLegend #DontYouDogMe
Listening to this song still gives me Chills. Jodeci's vocals on this song is just WOW!!!!! Especially at the end **Singing Baby Yeah, baby YEAHH, BABY YEAHHHHH** Father MC was another trendsetter.
Yeah he can actually sing very well. There's a video of him singing while playing the piano in the Docugroove Jodeci documentary. DeVante and Dalvin can actually sing but their voices weren't as powerful as Jojo and K Ci (Nobody's voice is) A lot of people assumed that DeVante couldn't sing but he was definitely able to because Jodeci's harmony wouldn't of sounded so perfect if he or Dalvin weren't able to sing.
I grew up listening to this song in the 90’s and was today years old seeing the video after so many years when I realized KC and Jo Jo were wearing these vocals the fuck out…
Jodeci before they changed the game in the early 90s with Forever My Lady. I loved this song. Artists don't do this anymore. Even ol' Puffy started his "cameo" appearances in videos like this. (Yes, he's back there flappin' his arms. lol)
Oh that's a BIG call.. Boyz II Men were around a good while longer after Jodeci's peak years. What about my favourite group, Dru Hill? And 112? Jodeci is right up there, either way.
Jodeci left to do separate projects. Boys 2 men were done by 1997 they’re last album was a flop. Kci And JoJo we’re still going strong from 1996 until 2002 Lmao smh.
This is back when rap and R&B was in tune with the everyday average life of people. That’s why the music had soul. It resonated with what we felt going through life and our everyday situations. The blues in R&B was still there
Uptown in da house!!. I miss this shit!!. God bless u Andre Harrell. RIP!!. U left a legacy that I enjoyed them & now. So many artists & friends. U were that dude. Heavy D. I can't forget u either. R.I.P.. Damn what a time to be alive. This pimp was there. I miss this era. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. Pimp love
I just found out we lost Prince Markie Dee!! I'm hurt!! A fixture in Hip Hop, an extremely underrated writer and producer, A very soulful dude!! Rest In Power Markie!! 💔💔🙏🙏🙏❤❤
Man, Sean Combs was the hardest working dude at Uptown/MCA Records back in the day! Dancing in the videos, being an executive, an A&R guy, a former intern, and producing the tracks for the songs he dancing in the videos for, LOL!
Jodeci forgot it was a rap song and was back there having CHUCH!!! 🙌🏾😂
😂😂😂
I'm weak!!
Haaaaaaaaa
DEADASS 😂😂😂
😂😂
Not only did he have jodeci singing background, he also had diddy as a dancer. classic
Right!!!!
Diddy weirdo ass 🤣 💀😭
…and Mary J Blige
One time for the late Prince Markie Dee from the Fat-boys on the cameo side of the game.
RIP🙏🏽
No wonder Diddy was all in the videos dancing,etc.
Jodeci singing like they're trying to secure that contract!
😂😂😂😂😂 EXACTLY!!!
Them boys bad! Kc voice is amazing!! Love them 2024
Jodeci murdering the background vocals... Puff killing the dance moves... RIP Markie Dee...
Man them boys was singing likeit was all on the line
Facts💯🎯
Yeah that's what made the song, because he was meh
Jodeci
It was 😂
Putting Jodeci on the hook was... 👌🏾🎙🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The New Jack era was so fly. Big ups to Teddy!!
Teddy didnt create it.He became the most Visible Full Force
Father MC is the ONLY rapper i have ever know whose lyrics don't even rhyme most of the time and the song is a banger. 34 four years and still fire,
I was a sophmore in hs when this came out. This song is in my "Work" playlist. I listen to this everyday
Dope but he definitely rhymes. His flow uses diff style of poetry. He rhymes at 8 count rather than every 4. Some used it but not through the whole song like he would.
Bless up you heard
Word.
Big up to the clean, dapper rappers, during the 90s -- when every other rapper wanted to rap dirty.
@@txtrang2515 He lived the life of a Rock Star. Hope he was Smart with his Dinero.

You are exactly right…. We shall cherish the memories!
Never say never
My boy K-Ci been killing the vocals since day 1

This determined if they got signed or not!! They did that sht!!
Man, give a dude a time machine and I’m right back in the early 90’s.
Me too. Not even thinking twice.
You ain't gotta tell me twice!!!!!
I'm more of a '80s kid, but I wouldn't mind taking a stop back in the 90s too. 😃
No doubt me2 in a flash
For real
Honestly, it never mattered to me if DeVante could really sing or not because his song writing, composing and producing skills is unmeasured and ahead of it’s time. He was truly the heart beat of the group. . Kci & JoJo was there vocally to you feel it all.
That's not him it's JoJo
Facts
You are right.
Prince Markie Dee produced this not DeVante'.
Devante was more of a rapper/producer than an actual singer but he always delivered when it came to R&B
An untouchable era!!! ❤
J C are you being treated?
Miss wen the world was colorful n funky
funkl
Yes I miss it . People were so cool .
For real!!!
Classic!
Listen how K-ci runs and adlibs ALL over this song!...and still does to this day!
you can always tell when he on a song!
Yes
Father MC was classic ..Was like the rap version of Aaron Hall...lol...Classic dancing Diddy and Jodeci...Legendary..
Good comparison!!!
facts
Couldn't have said it better
Looked like him in for sure lol
Diddy: “I wanna party wit YOU Fab!”
This jam was and STILL is everything! 🔥🔥🔥
Puffy back there getting them steps in😂
puffy was dancing his ass off lol. Those were the days. uptown was the happening label then.
RIGHT!!
+Mr Love Yep no party was a party back then without a uptown record being played. They were the truth, music is just not the same anymore.
Now PHIFE is gone....sigh, we are now our parents talking about, "remember when..."
Did father mc have a video of ive been watching you?
Jodeci was going hard on this, they was trying to get that record deal!lol
Ikr they sung they heart out 😂
NO LE 4:41 😂😂😂😂

Good song. Man New Jack Swing was one of the Best Eras in Music
All-time classic back in 1990.
Lôol @ P Diddy . Who knew that skinny lil background dancer would become one of the world's biggest music moguls just a decade later?
He was the Executive at Uptown records back then and even did sign up Father MC into Uptown ... Wasn't a back up dancer but as usual even till date he loves dancing in most tracks for his protegees ...
YaYa Man oh my goat that is P Diddy..damn
Who would have thought he’d also become a snake, sell out and one of the fakest music industry sharks around.
Trust Money Music Group LLC why he do that?
YaYa Man real talk
The New Jack Swing era was so good for a heart healthy lifestyle..
I can relate.
they were all smoking crack
KC went hard in the paint on this one.
Jodeci took it to church with this song. From the moment the song started, you could tell Jodeci was about to burn the whole track up! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This song just makes me think Mo Money/Strictly Business/Boomerang/Boys In The Hood (cookout scene) etc. Man i miss the early 90s and the ppl that i loved that are no longer here😢
Damn, what happened to good music like this?
I'm with you
jews. thats ALL i gotta say...
Ikr
The chronic that’s what happened
@@ksager123 Um, okay, I would like to see this back again too. I'm Jewish and not sure what made you come to that conclusion?
And jodeci's killing the chorus, love it
Those Jodeci vocals though 🙌🙌🙌❤️🎤🎼❤️ Love them!
JODECI KILLED THIS SONG WITH THE VOCAL'S‼‼
*VOCALS* 😂🤣
To see Diddy dancing in this video and to think this guy pulled off Jodeci? Gives me some kinda chills
This song is so slept on lmao its crazy
Devante on the end with KC was 🔥
That contract wasnt dry😂😂😂😂
Although that was Jojo’s voice 🤦🏾♂️
that was jo jo's voice
Jojo
Why do yall say that was JoJos voice? It didnt sound like him.
Damn I miss good music like this😩!!! I was watching "A Different World" and this was playing in the background.. Man I miss the 90s!
I love this song
At one point this dude was a bigger star than Mary J, Jodeci were his "back up singers" and Puffy wasn't "Diddy" yet. Life comes at you fast boys and girls.
And Bobby B had more coke than Capone 😁
Puff daddy is a backup dancer in this video
🎯
Man K Ci and Jo Jo sang so good on this!!!!!! Love them!!!!
Heard this while binge watching A Different World and could not rest until I found it 🔥🔥🔥
That's where I also heard it!!!!
Facts!
watching that episode rn, i needed to know the song
Me too!! Lol
Which episode?
The song that Introduced the world to Jodeci! Puffy and Phendi (EPMD's dancer after Steezo) gettin it in...this is CLASSIC!
Who ever thought that one of the background dancer would go and be come the most successful there
Puff Daddy dancing in the background and the debut of Jodeci
This is the kind of fusion between true hip-hop & great R&B I'd like to return to!
Please! Today’s rap is trash. We need more love, respect and happiness music, and less drug, sex, violence, and disrespect music. It’s old now. I’m tired of the hood. And R&B just fell off a cliff.
Remarkable. What happened to Rap and R and B? It is so sad that new music isn't worth buying these days.
Eugenia Brown It's still around, just not like this. This is technically a fusion genre called new jack swing, and I hope it comes back so I can experience it.

I am glad I come from this era when music was worth buying and listening to for hour on ends 90's was my era high school days damn I miss those days
Technology
White people when we started allowing them in our circles/culture and non black people music, movies, tv etc went down for us black people.
Rest Peacefully Prince Markie Dee and thank you for all the music & memories. From the Fat Boys, to your solo career and the many songs u wrote & composed like this one. Will always bump your classic "Love Daddy" album. #TrueLegend #DontYouDogMe
That haircut is on POINT!! And RIP Prince Markie D and Andre Harrell. 💕 Uptown Records had some good ass artists!
We danced like hell off of this in ft hood tx in 1990 -1991 but we had no idea that jodeci was in the background or p Diddy
Listening to this song still gives me Chills. Jodeci's vocals on this song is just WOW!!!!! Especially at the end **Singing Baby Yeah, baby YEAHH, BABY YEAHHHHH** Father MC was another trendsetter.
Father MC did a Brenda K Starr move and helped to launch the careers of Jodeci & Mary J Blige! Who then went on to surpass him in superstardom!
renee xuereb yep. Go figure
Brenda?
Who?? Oh that's your point lmao!
@@omalone1169 Mariah Carey say backup for Brenda K Starr and now a whole new generation of people don't even know who Brenda is

@@NotfromDetroit SALUTE..
No doubt!✊🏾🤎✊🏾🤎
@@LadyAtheOnly WORD IS BOND
Nothing will ever beat K-CI “Ouu Yeah”
P.Diddy has always been dancing in the videos 😂!
Every video he can get to!🤣
Yeah he can actually sing very well. There's a video of him singing while playing the piano in the Docugroove Jodeci documentary. DeVante and Dalvin can actually sing but their voices weren't as powerful as Jojo and K Ci (Nobody's voice is) A lot of people assumed that DeVante couldn't sing but he was definitely able to because Jodeci's harmony wouldn't of sounded so perfect if he or Dalvin weren't able to sing.
Facts
K-CI bodied that lead
Puff Daddy was working!!
Yes!! Jodeci was going hard. There is no other era like the 90s. I love it and still listen to all the music to this day!!! 😍😍
Father MC was the man once upon a time ago. I miss rap music. This rap music was fun and had no violence. If they had beef it stayed on wax, PERIOD!
Jodeci straight OWNED this song. Love young Jodeci. Shout out to Prince Markie Dee, I see you.
KCI sang the hell out of that hook....
Jodeci was killing it 🔥🔥🔥 I miss fun music just making u get up n move 💃💃
I met Father MC at Green Acres Mall. Nice guy
It's actually sad , seeing puffy before the evil industry got the best of him. He just was a hungry young brother who loved music..jodeci killed it
K-Ci’s vocals one of the main reasons I had to come find this song. Heard it on the radio for the first time and fell in love 😍
The days of New Jack swing and Chess King Suits. Fun times.
Riggghhhhtttttt
Whew Jodeci sang for they supper frfr!! 😂 they going hard !!❤
Classic 🎉🎉🎉 happy new years
Jodeci back there killing it.
I’ve missed fun rap like this.
2:07 JoJo sliding to the mic like he is one of the temptations
Its crazy, Puffy and 2Pac started out as dancers. 😁😁😁😁😁
J lo… top 3 prolly most famous dancers to stars
New jack swing stand up!
Bingo-/ I’m about to watch New Jack City on that note,, Peace Out
This is my first time seeing Davante sing out. Love him.
Much luv to Father MC and Jodeci.
Father Mc's swag lowkey reminds me of a young Maurice Chestnut😊
I grew up listening to this song in the 90’s and was today years old seeing the video after so many years when I realized KC and Jo Jo were wearing these vocals the fuck out…
I love it because Devante and Dalvin let themselves be heard on this. They didn't hide their voices in the background.
Jodeci before they changed the game in the early 90s with Forever My Lady. I loved this song. Artists don't do this anymore. Even ol' Puffy started his "cameo" appearances in videos like this. (Yes, he's back there flappin' his arms. lol)
Puffy was executive producer on this along with Andre Harrell
Don't think I didn't notice... he didn't jump in that video for nothing. That's his note to self reminder! "I did that!" LOL
LatashaTrueHeart You right sister. Last great R&B group. My opinion...
Oh that's a BIG call.. Boyz II Men were around a good while longer after Jodeci's peak years. What about my favourite group, Dru Hill? And 112? Jodeci is right up there, either way.
Jodeci left to do separate projects. Boys 2 men were done by 1997 they’re last album was a flop. Kci And JoJo we’re still going strong from 1996 until 2002 Lmao smh.
2024 STILL BANGIN THIS CLASSIC EVERY CHANCE I GET.......CLASSIC
Love. Father. Mc. And. Jodeci. The. True. Kings.
The time and music is untouched! Father MC underrated nowadays.
Father's day(1990), this record includes more super hits and the other, close to you (1992)more.
So nobody saw Puffy dancing in the background with the light skin cat.. lol diddy was killin it!
The light skinned cat was kid from kid n play lol
wow lol
That wasn't no damn Kid from Kid n Play
LOL Yeah I saw his big headed ass
MrWARBUCKS24 Redhead Kingpin is dancing with Puff, another 90s rapper
Kc always had tht ooh yeah...
Back in the day on MCA, if you ever needed a chorus to be ripping the airwaves there was only one solution. Jodeci.
My favorite part at the end. Baby yeah, baby yeah!!
This is back when rap and R&B was in tune with the everyday average life of people. That’s why the music had soul. It resonated with what we felt going through life and our everyday situations. The blues in R&B was still there
Exactly
Yo...no lie, I had this song in my head for the pass 40mins, and I landed here 🤣 #SALUTE man! ✊🏾✔️💯

Tameka Harris does anyone know all the videos diddy danced in before fame?
Jarrel Ely a Doug E Fresh video.
Uptown Records was a lifestyle label.
We got our own thing by Heavy D. He's wearing a mask tho.
Ralph 328 Chauncey St. was diddy in we got our own thing?
