Kay Renee Yet, there’s still ppl out here finding it hard to believe that R Kelly had sex with a child all because they courts didn’t find him guilty. As if our judicial system been spot on every time 🤦🏾♀️
Most of them stepped on the scene with degrees or were in the process of completing their degrees. These women were so much more. Sadly Karrine Steffans put a nasty stigma on their name with the book. Not denying her experience but these women were Video Vixen Models....she is what The term Video Ho meant. Sadly because of her it was assumed they are were video Hoes...instead of them mainly being professional models, active students and educated women who also were fine as they wanted to be
I'm all about calling out colourism but let's not pretend there weren't a lot of brown and dark skin girls in the hip hop videos back in the day. We hardly see any black women in today's videos
You’re absolutely right aint it obvious that the majority of The women in this video are all light to fair skinned from some spanish background? No afro women ! Smh wow colourism is a real thing
Shonnie Shon these women was brown some was fair skinned but these women was brown wine cut the shit and there was definitely a lot of other cocoa women that wasn’t showed in this video
@croberts247 because they already had them , and these was the ones they was trying to get. Most men back then liked dark skinned women. Most I know and I'm Carmel but they always try to put me in the redbone shade
Back then you could throw on some eyeliner and lipstick and you'll be good with natural beauty....now faces caked with 5 different eyeshadows, highlighter, lowlighter, bronzers, 3 types of foundations, primers...........🙄😩😂
Jess Rockaway the ladies knew what they got themselves into? what’s wrong with you. they were children. you’re shaming KIDS. a grown MAN was raping kids.
Can we get a part 2 featuring.....Buffy the Body, Esther Baxter, Melyssa Ford, Karin Steffans, Bria Myles, Lola Monroe I know they are more well known and active but would love to hear your commentary on them, keep up the great work 😀
I'll never forget Buffy The Body and Charlamagne The God's argument. Search it on TH-cam - very interesting how CTG predicted the course of both their careers. Sidenote to the IG Models of today invest in your IG career yes but also take that money and invest properly - in a career, investment portfolio and education. IG modelling won't last forever.
@Sweet Cocoa before the 90s it was much younger being between 10-12 y/o. The 90s is when it got a little better. It’s sickening to even think someone would consider this
It is if they press charges and the guy generally becomes a sex offender. If they don’t nothing happens. I have a cousin that got pregnant by a 28 year old when she was 16 back in the early 2000s. It was so weird to me because they were practically related (in addition to their ages). The guy she got pregnant by was one of her cousin’s cousins... if that makes sense. But they weren’t blood related. No one ever pressed charges. So nothing ever happened to him but it was super weird because at 16 she looked and acted very much like a child but was also very “fast”.
@@gameprey1777 not everyone has protective parents... some of the girls of the industry were living on the streets when they got discovered & then there's celebrity privilege
I love that majority of these women had backup plans like getting their education . I don't mind women using their bodies or sexuality to get ahead as long as they have a plan
Yes . I vividly remember seeing all these women in videos during my high school years thinking they were bomb . I would read the video vixen eye candy articles in XXL and was amazed at finding out they had degrees and were business owners. Smart and beautiful proving you can be both.
Ya sound desperate.. whatever it takes?..lol.. this is why majority of them amounted to stay at home moms. And even if they got there degree..they still didnt get a job with those degrees.

It’s crazy how we looked forward to seeing the same video vixens in those music videos. They were part of the package and made the videos worth watching.
I never understood why y’all say “every woman now looks like A Kardashian”.. When the Kardashians are the ones that got work done to look like a black woman’s body. They look like our women
Simone Baptiste is still hella gorgeous with an equally beautiful daughter & loving their accomplishments. Nicole is mainly known for the “Reggae Gold” covers @ least for me🔥🔥🤷🏽♀️ Gloria Velez was never all that tho🤷🏽♀️..why did she have so much hype/buzz🙄. Omg Jessica stunning af🍫🍯 & Jeanette Chavez in Jay’s/Pharrell’s classic song/video is forever a moment in the culture🤸🏾♀️
It's so insane how these women are imprinted into my brain from childhood...its amazing to think so many were super educated but all we knew about them was their face and bodies
Those video girls were actually memorable to me and hold a special place in my childhood. To see them still beautiful and doing better is inspirational
Freebie Babe cuz back in the day it was ok. If girls were fast the ending result would be them getting knocked up. Nothing u.can do to stop a sexually advanced child.
Koka Kola It’s so disgusting how black people will blame the advances of old men on “black girls being fast”, especially since so many people will call young girls fast for merely breathing. Anything to not hold a man accountable I guess. 🙄🙄🙄🙄
Syeda Umar she is just as guilty as he is. She is not innocent. She had sex because she wanted to have sex. 16 is not as young as you think and at 16 we all know what we should or shouldn’t do. She was not raped or forced to have sec with him. She did it because she wanted to. Should he had slept with her, not at all but she also holds part of the responsibility. You all want to jump on him but she couldn’t have gotten pregnant if neither of them had done it.
There's nothing wrong with being "thick" but it's way too fake and exaggerated now. But in general, all bodies should be celebrated tbh and shouldn't be reduced to "trends"
Lanisha Cole has forever been my favorite woman from any video. As beautiful as Lauren London is, I couldn’t see anything beyond Lanisha’s beautiful brown skin and just how laid back she was and the overall vibe of the video.
This was a good idea, but inaccurate. In the 90s and early 00s, the prettiest video vixens were BROWN skinned. Back then, the camera time went to the brown skin, not the red bone. The red bone started to trend in videos in the mid to late 00s.
I had to rewind and pause. 😆 This women deserve awards sticking around after all the toxicity introduced to them when they were barely women. It's life .
Romaine Montrelle I remember they had a like mini series on her and she was saying how Arron hall did not take care of her so and refuses to see him. I think at the time he was 10. It was crazy bc I remember he looked exactly like him but a light skin version. But I remember reading an article years ago saying that ppl in Hollywood would prey on young kids. Not sure if it is true or not.
@@NaturalNikkiDST Well in their defense (minus the FORCEFUL rapist/predator ones)... When I was 16 back then usher was 25..I wanted him badly and wished to be in chili position..and if I'd tried to pursue being a video girl, no doubt I wouldve done everything to be with usher... I'm 1000% these girls knew what they wanted and got it and Have No Regrets...I'm 32 now..no regrets being with a 24yr old in my mid teens...I still want usher but he went and got himself herpes🙄.. point is society made teenagers 16-19 out to be innocent little girls with a brain and innocence of a 5yr old. Many teens are fully aware. Lie and say I just turned 20 to get approval.
Omg I was waiting for Esther Baxter, Buffie the Body, Karraine Steffans, Leila Arceri and Vida Guerrero? They were way more popular than some of these vixens.

Yep! I once watched this clip where she and some other video vixen (it might have been Melyssa Ford if I'm not mistaken) were going in on Superhead for what she did and I'm sitting there thinking, Ok....but Gloria is no better!
Exactly.she hating that karrine made all that money and she didn't.
These girl were too young to be around these men
The intro alone makes my day 😂
Mine too! Brings back my childhood lol
Its so aesthetically pleasing
I want you back oh yes! Lol
Lyric N. I sung that part so obnoxiously loud just now 🤣🤣🤣
What’s the name of the intro, please help🙏🏾
Melyssa Ford was in a bad accident but i think she's doing better now
She is. She hosts radio with this gentleman “Jason Lee” on Hollywood Unlocked.
She's doing great 😃
Shes back to work .. HOLLYWOOD UNLOCKED
Yes she’s ok God is good 🙏🏽🙏🏽
First of all Jason Lee is far from a gentleman
I didn’t realize how young they were!!! I’m starting to realize how sick the music industry was because the Rock industry was doing shit like this too .... but these girls are so naturally beautiful it’s so different from what we see now
***PLEASE STOP COMMENTING THAT I FORGOT TO MENTION______. If you watch until the end of the video you’ll hear that I am making more parts to this video.***

Did you know the girl on the far left at 7:11 was Mimi?? 😳
Kayla O.: I rewound it to see when I first watched this video. Sure is her 😉
@@kaylao.3326 yes lol.
Damn I wish I was in houston😢😭
Why couldn’t this be in NYC 😫
It's inspiring to hear that some of these women have degrees!
the chessika woman is GORGEOUS
She's a taste of chocolate 👅🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫
@Cee Cee she is sweet like a chocolate hershey bar 🍫
Leonte very beautifullll I have always thought this especially seeing her in 50 cent candy shop I was obsessed
Can never take my eyes off her when watching frontin
It’s crazy how we looked forward to seeing the same video vixens in those music videos. They were part of the package and made the videos worth watching.
This is awareness on a whole new level for up an coming models.
It doesn’t last forever
Baby Boo exactly
Beauty fades but intelligence is forever
I never understood why y’all say “every woman now looks like A Kardashian”.. When the Kardashians are the ones that got work done to look like a black woman’s body. They look like our women
They mean Fake...
Thank you, somebody said it!
It's the faces
Black women have a variety of bodies though.
Thank you! It's so obvious but people just don't want to admit it.
Interesting about Aaron Hall who’s protege was R Kelly 🤔
R Kelly even took Aaron's swag. Hence his bald head in the beginning of his career.
Aaron Hall ripped his vocal style from Charlie Wilson.
@@JediKnightmare I don't hear the resemblance between them
Aaron Hall came out before R Kelly look at there style and the sound not how they look
MJ Belle I definitely hear the resemblance. Early R Kelly and Aaron Hall sound just like 80s Charlie Wilson
Simone Baptiste is still hella gorgeous with an equally beautiful daughter & loving their accomplishments. Nicole is mainly known for the “Reggae Gold” covers @ least for me🔥🔥🤷🏽♀️
Gloria Velez was never all that tho🤷🏽♀️..why did she have so much hype/buzz🙄. Omg Jessica stunning af🍫🍯 & Jeanette Chavez in Jay’s/Pharrell’s classic song/video is forever a moment in the culture🤸🏾♀️
Ciaobella Amour yes she is! And her daughter is STUNNING!
With Gloria, it was all about the big names that she was sleeping with that propelled her to stardom.
Is lala baptiste her daughter?
@@thablackkat9905 who she was sleeping with
It's so insane how these women are imprinted into my brain from childhood...its amazing to think so many were super educated but all we knew about them was their face and bodies
16!!! ... 15!!!! Where are they mama's at?!
Collecting YORK their checks
Let them young girls b whores!😈a lot young girls fell pray to this type of life!😢
Collecting the money
Okay
I was wondering the same thing after I heard it like 4 or 5 times. Lol
Those video girls were actually memorable to me and hold a special place in my childhood. To see them still beautiful and doing better is inspirational
Back when black women..even dark skinned black women were in videos.
And they still are very pretty to this day 😳 if not better looking lol
Right, I am shook.
They age like wine, and their aesthetics are still relevant today
Denise Ramirez but back then you can tell their beauty came from exercise and eating right, so they aged well

@@jacquelinebrown2372 Those are all You need to do
Nicole Ricca was in everybody videos back then. Also, why didn't Aaron Hall go to prison for knocking up an underaged girl? Disgusting!
Look at r Kelly!
Freebie Babe cuz back in the day it was ok. If girls were fast the ending result would be them getting knocked up. Nothing u.can do to stop a sexually advanced child.
@@KOLAkola I don't care how fast she was he was 30 and knew better she was a 16 year old teenager. He deserved to go to prison for being with her.
Koka Kola It’s so disgusting how black people will blame the advances of old men on “black girls being fast”, especially since so many people will call young girls fast for merely breathing. Anything to not hold a man accountable I guess. 🙄🙄🙄🙄
Syeda Umar she is just as guilty as he is. She is not innocent. She had sex because she wanted to have sex. 16 is not as young as you think and at 16 we all know what we should or shouldn’t do. She was not raped or forced to have sec with him. She did it because she wanted to. Should he had slept with her, not at all but she also holds part of the responsibility. You all want to jump on him but she couldn’t have gotten pregnant if neither of them had done it.
K.D Aubert is STUNNING 😭😭😭
When being fit was fine. Now being “thick” is the trend
Thicc
you saying that like being slim wasn’t a trend in the 90s / early 00s , I love thick women and don’t mind if they own or on a pole personally
#ThatPart
Lol
There's nothing wrong with being "thick" but it's way too fake and exaggerated now. But in general, all bodies should be celebrated tbh and shouldn't be reduced to "trends"
Lanisha Cole has forever been my favorite woman from any video. As beautiful as Lauren London is, I couldn’t see anything beyond Lanisha’s beautiful brown skin and just how laid back she was and the overall vibe of the video.
I couldn’t have said it better
This was a good idea, but inaccurate. In the 90s and early 00s, the prettiest video vixens were BROWN skinned. Back then, the camera time went to the brown skin, not the red bone. The red bone started to trend in videos in the mid to late 00s.
Very true
Lmao boy bye most of them were brown skinned most weren’t even black but racially ambiguous and only a few dark skins rappers been colorist
right. she just highlighted all the lighter skinned women lol
What is red bone?
A "red bone," is VERY light skinned. Every "light skinned" person is not a "red bone."
I had to pause at 2:37 because who's the mother & who's the daughter???😩 #BlackDontCrack
(Mother) Simone Baptise (Daughter) LaLa Baptise (not her real name tho)
the daughter must get jealous of the mother.
Thought it was just me
@@isopariah888 I thought that was lala
I literally had to park my car to watch this video lmfao omg love this channel
Damn lol
Damn so nobody peeped mimi from love and hip hop she’s in the video fronting Pharrell lol
Right! I said "Is that mimi from LLHHA @ 6:53, or am I bugging?"
I said the same thing I thought I was trippin 🤔
I had to rewind and pause. 😆 This women deserve awards sticking around after all the toxicity introduced to them when they were barely women. It's life .
This dude had a baby with a teenager wow that's crazy
Right. I would never look at him the same...smh
Romaine Montrelle I remember they had a like mini series on her and she was saying how Arron hall did not take care of her so and refuses to see him. I think at the time he was 10. It was crazy bc I remember he looked exactly like him but a light skin version. But I remember reading an article years ago saying that ppl in Hollywood would prey on young kids. Not sure if it is true or not.
And her momma was all about those checks...
@@NaturalNikkiDST Well in their defense (minus the FORCEFUL rapist/predator ones)... When I was 16 back then usher was 25..I wanted him badly and wished to be in chili position..and if I'd tried to pursue being a video girl, no doubt I wouldve done everything to be with usher... I'm 1000% these girls knew what they wanted and got it and Have No Regrets...I'm 32 now..no regrets being with a 24yr old in my mid teens...I still want usher but he went and got himself herpes🙄.. point is society made teenagers 16-19 out to be innocent little girls with a brain and innocence of a 5yr old. Many teens are fully aware. Lie and say I just turned 20 to get approval.
@Natural thank you. One person being honest
Girl you be answering so many of my questions with your videos. Because this was one of them. 💀
Naw, there were plenty of dark skin video vixens back then.
Omg I was waiting for Esther Baxter, Buffie the Body, Karraine Steffans, Leila Arceri and Vida Guerrero? They were way more popular than some of these vixens.
Yup
Supahead was a video ho not an actual model but I would love a story on her and the book
KD Aubert is so beautiful. She looks like Angelina Jolie
Constance Connie I can see that. That’s a good one Girl!!
Omg she is
Yea she still fly
KD looks far better than Angelina
Angelina wish
So we’re just gonna forget Aaron Hall had a baby with a baby?🤦🏽♀️
Right! Nobody ever call these grown men out. Smh
I just knew when I was a kid I’d have a video vixen body.. it’s happened and I’m still waiting for my opportunity minus the being tossed around the industry 🥴😂
Listen I just knew I would have a career out of it😭😭😂
😂😂😂 same
@@Mloveblacque_always SAME! lmao
Mloveblacque always I’m pretty my life aspiration at 10 years old was to be in a Ja Rule video 😂😂
I have one too, I’m slick thick and growing up that was what I aspired to be. Thank heavens I didn’t migrate to the states because now I’m a nurse
Melyssa Ford & Karrine Steffans are by far the most iconic of them all.
Tarzan Punisher 🗣 Yesss 2 Icons & Still Gorgeous after all these Years 💋🌹
I miss them days
Tarzan Punisher Esther Baxter tooo
Vida
It's nice to see that a lot of these women are not just pretty faces and moved on to meaningful careers.
K.D. Aubert was the Baddest omg she is too gorgeous.
Right , I just followed her Instagram
She looks so sweet
I always thought she looked like a black Angelina jolie
This was back when they had black girls in the hip hop music videos
It's not like that now?
WellActually I would rather that then what happened to Melissa Ford
Every single one of those women were stunning 👌🏼
None of them have nothing on Simone Baptiste . Yes I said it.
Seriously she has the best face
Dem trini gyals 🇹🇹😜🥰
Crazy I found her TH-cam channel years ago and couldn’t remember where I knew her from until I watch Bobby V slow down video
illenessOne I swear
CeceLashell yes . Seen she never aged.
The first time I saw Chessika in 50 cents video I was like holy cheeks I wanna look like her 😭 I thought she was the most beautiful girl!
Sun Queenn yesss! I LOVED HER
She is STUNNING!!
Literally!! So beautiful!! 😍
@Markus Patients I turn into her on a full moon now! It's crazy.
Simone’s daughter is gorgeous her ig is Lalatheislandgal. I didn’t even know that’s who her mother was.
Looks like Kelly Jenkins to me 😆
Kiara Love Carter omg I didn’t know that either I would always see her daughter’s Instagram on the explore and never knew that was her mom wow
Same
Kiara Love Carter riiiiighttt I never knew I knew something about her was familiar
My mind is blown
I always thought Lanisha Cole, Lashontae Heckard, Nastasha Ellie and Tomika Skanes were so pretty. Back then, being beautiful and elegant meant a lot
Thank you for showing us these women weren’t only beautiful but smart. Also for showing them in a positive light
“Where she famously got punched in the eye?!” 😩😩😩
Basketball Wives! A reality tv show on VH1!
Yeah she had all that mouth & Drea dotted that eye & closed that mouth & ended her career on bbw LMAO
As soon as she said Sundy name I thought about Draya boppin her ass 😂
Malaysia was the one who actually punched her not draya
Somiya Robinson I don’t really watch those type of shows so I didn’t know who was who but thanks 😊
Anytime she say somebody got a youtube I go searching immediately 😂
checkout my youtube channel...thanks and subscribe
Okay so all these girls are gorgeous 😭
I’m surprised Lashontae Heckard wasn’t on here
Right?
Right?! Tae definitely was the "It girl" at 1 time so she def deserved a spot..
Let’s see if she makes it into the Part 2..
She did say it going be an part 2. Let's see she make the cut. And she's in her 40's now but look every but of 28.
Tae was bae. I haven’t seen her doing much in the public eye other than her relationships with Brandon Jenning and Nelly
“Where she famously got punched in the eye “
Caribbean girls been the prettiest no joke feel good to come from a Caribbean background 😍😍😍😍😍😍 just all the foreigners
The background music is perfect for this video.
I don’t think the Instagram era is going to die out anytime soon too much money being made
Even with the ambiguity i still appreciate these girls Waaaaaaaaaaaay better than today’s heaux lol
Aaron Hall 🥴😱🤦🏿♀️
O Riskii He should go to prison for that who preys on kids he just ask guilty as R Kelly
So not only is he R Kelly's carbon copy in looks-- but he his carbon copy in behavior as well!🤮
Jasmine B Exactly!!! True story, I really used to get R Kelly and Aaron Hall mixed up as a kid... Thought that they looked totally a like 😂!!! Crazy how both are nasty filthy pathetic ass child predators 🤦🏾♀️ ... Both of’ em ain’t shit!
@@jasbourne94 Not that it was okay, but you know times were different back then
Beautiful Array Indigenous Queen you know 16 is the legal age in some states right?
The legal age in Iceland is 15.....just saying
Chessika what a beautiful melanated queen
Please do a part two 😍😍 Include Angel “ Lola Luv”, Suelyn Medeiros, Tae Heckard just to name a few 😘
Lola Luv was a game changer
@@stunnamane1107 ikr
She is slept on. I love her 😂😂
Tae.... beauty is her name!! Her and lanisha my all time faves
There's already a part 2
What a time to be alive. I'm so glad that I was old enough to bear witness to this era and have it influence me. These new kids could NEVER! This era was truly iconic.
D. 👊🏾Yes, The dress code was on point, lol. That’s when I had a lot of fun. The shades, Velour, Jersey dresses, Half shoulder shirts, Mannn!
Omg Sundy was actually like famous that’s wild I didn’t realize
Yes, I used to loved Sundy and ran the whole Bbw thing happen. I was like nooooo. Lol
Alot of these men need jail time 16 years old smh
Yeah I know right they using those young girls and I’m not even sure if they get paid right
Your intro never gets old 🙌❤
It’s a whole vibe and this 80s baby is here for it ☺️
Thank you for your great videos ❤️
Aaron Hall needs to be in jail. Gloria was only 16 when she had his baby
I never knew this 😡😡😡
Times have changed, Back then you had to pay a Video vixin to be in your video, Now days you can find some cute Instagram chick that will do a video for free she just care about the exposure🤷🏽♂️
🤣
You always bring some of the dopest content 🏆💯🔥. Melyssa Ford almost lost her life but has recovered & now doing “Hollywood Unlocked”🙏🏽💕. Buffie Da Body is a fitness model/guru I believe, Esther Baxter been laying low since Joe Budden , SupaHead...we already about her but on some real shit, she’s been the most known/successful til this day (mainstream wise). Video vixen era was golden & supposedly the whole escort/ig model trend killed it.
Edit: how could’ve I forgotten K.D😍 & hold up👀..”Scorpion King?”
LOL...How you read my mind, I remember Chessika....."At 15 she was in Ja Rule's Video"....I said "Bruh...15???"................."Yes, i said 15...." LMAO....
These women were very intelligent and naturally beautiful...
