As an old head, myself, I know it’s easy to say that when looking at today’s rap landscape, but I’m not going to act like there wasn’t a lot of phony shit/fake rappers, portraying someone else lifestyle back then too. Maybe we let them get away with it more because they objectively made better music…
what's ironic about that is I thought this song came out in the 80s. It just sounds like something from around 1988, but it came out in the 1991 😳 That may not sound like a big difference, but by 93 EVERYBODY was doing gangster rap, so these dudes had about 16-24 months after this song released to either get with the program and change their sound, or get left behind. I think we know which one happened lol
@@KoolKeithProductionsthey did pretty well for a group that went against the rap norm. They did get tons of grief from gansta rappers who called the group soft. Their second album answered their critics tenfold. It was probably their best album. Their next two album fell back to their trippy hop sound, but also did well.
Not true. Back then the rap vibe was generally the same. These guys used to get a lot of hate from other rappers because they "were not real rap." They were ahead of their time.
Man i remember hearing this song on the radio all the time in the early 90's. These dudes had their own unique style and flavor, a lot of hardcore hip hop heads didn't like them tho and called them hippies and weirdos. They were ahead of their time, this still sounds fresh even today. R.I.P to Prince Be.
Yasss this song was so cool. The sample of it is from the song “True” by Spandau. As matter of fact he is singing the hook towards the end of the video. Try their song “Die Without You” from the “Boomerang”soundtrack. It’s so pretty.
One of the BEST groups to ever do it!! This is early 90s nostalgia for me heavy...my favorite time in the 90s..I would definitely go back to that time period. Check out thier song "Die Without You" one of the best love songs ever written.
I never noticed they put the singer from Spandau Ballet on their video at the end. I never noticed it before. The sampled Spandau Ballet for the hook on this song.
I loved PM Dawn back in the day and love how they redid this song. They added 'flava' to it. Check out the original by Spandau Ballet called 'true'. The original song was from the early 1980's.
Yes young grasshopper...... this was a huge hit back in 1991. His voice was very soothing. Brings back my fun and carefree teenage years. Thanks for the memory......
"I'd Die Without You" and "Looking Through Patient Eyes" are a couple of other songs by PM Dawn you might like ... pop music in the '90's was so diverse. "Set Adrift on Memory Bliss" was a #1 hit and I believe "I'd Die Without You" was a top 5 hit, too.
Yay!!! So glad you reacted. So glad you loved it❤️❤️❤️Definite summer vibe. This song was sampled from 80's group 'Spandau Ballet' and their song called: True. If, and, when you decide to dive into the 80's, check this song out. Great reaction🔥🔥🔥👍🏾
I've noticed the videos come out at around 3:30pm (my time). So I have it in planned in my schedule to dip out at that time to watch at least one reaction. It will be this one. I will have to catch the other two after work.
Great reaction 🔥 PM Dawn is such an underrated group that was (dare I say) ahead of their time in the 1990s with their unique blend of Hip Hop, R & B, Soul, and Pop. I suggest you check out my favorite PM Dawn song entitled "Die Without You" (1992). This was part of the Eddie Murphy film "Boomerang" (1992). This track is absolutely beautiful and heartfelt. Definitely a song to react to
they're from new jersey but sadly, the lead singer prince be passed away in 2016. also check out 'looking thru patient eyes' they did a george michael sample on that one.
This takes me back to a kid in the 90s this song was everywhere They was ahead of their time . they even had the lead singer of the band Spandau Ballet which they sampled their song True .
@@dfree1442 nah,I mean they didn't like the direction a group like them would turn hip hop into and how much radio play they were gettin compared to traditional hip hop...
Oh damn! I just realized this is probably what inspired "YOU" and "GIRLS AROUND THE WORLD" by Lloyd and Lil Wayne. It's def an interpolation and the melody and some of the chorus are the same and the samples are pretty obvious. I forgot about this whole era and genre of music. This song feels like palm trees 🌴☀️🌴😁
Here's a small list of songs and artists 1.Brand New Heavies: Dream On Dreamer. 2. Soul ll Soul: Back To Life, Keep On Movin. 3. Jamiroquai: Virtual Insanity, Little L. 4. Gorillaz: Feel Good.
PM Dawn paved the way for Rapper/singers like Lauryn Hill and Drake. They kicked down so many doors. Their influence in the music industry was quietly significant. They are truly one of the most underrated groups of all time. “I’d die without you” is without question one of the greatest live songs ever written, but their song “looking through patients eyes” is my favorite from them. The message of that song is incredibly deep and I get it on a spiritual level. Now that you’ve been introduced to PM Dawn, you should check out the early 90’s hip hop mockumentary called “Fear of black hat.” You’re at that point where I think you will get the hilarious satirical references. Edit- on second thought, you should check out “Gonna make you sweat” by C+C music factory and learn the story behind their lead singer first. This way you’ll get the funniest (controversial today) scenes in the movie.
Love this one, it always puts me in a good mood. If you're looking for similar artists, please react to Arrested Development - "Tennessee" and Tony! Toni! Tone! - "Let's Get Down."
I grew up in the 80s/90s and this song and "Looking through patient eyes" still punch my heart with emotions the same as they did back then. ALSO: Attrell Cordes..Rest in peace man.
I’m new to your channel & every song you done put on here from 70s 80s 90s I know them all. I’m glad someone in my generation (1998 baby) really listen to the same music I listen too. That’s rare & sometimes I feel like I’ve been in this world before.
This was a whole vibe back in the day! When rappers had swag and just chilled!
Back when rappers were different in their own way and not trying to be somebody else but to be themselves

Prince Be...R.I.P.
PM Dawn- Die Without You is my favorite song from them.
Yes. Mine too. Iisten to it at least once a week! Lol.
Such a beautiful song by them.
I love that song!!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Mine too!
PM Dawn was underrated.
The white dude in the video wrote the original song (True by spandau ballet).
The white guy in the song is lead singer Tony Hadley, however the song was written by his bandmate Gary Kemp. 👍🏼
SONG BEEN FIRE SINCE IT CAME OUT IN THE 90S
The songs contains a sample of "True" by Spandau Ballet, whose lead singer the guy underwater and singing at the end (the white dude).
PM dawn- id die without you
Thank you for reacting to this gem. PM Dawn stood out back then. Still sounds beautiful. RIP.
They’re from NJ. RIP Prince Be. They’re best song is “I’d die without you.” ✌🏽
Very talented singer

This song is good especially with the spandau ballet mix it goes perfect with this song
Exactly why music was so relatable back then.
Each person should be themselves as individuals. We each are lit in our own way.
I LOVE PM Dawn ❤🎶🔥
I think this came out in line 1991. The sampling is from Spandau Ballet (around 1983 or 84ish)
Absolute 90's classic
R.I.P PRINCE 🕊 🕊 🕊 🕊
PM Dawn is the truth
"That's the way it goes, I guess" 🙏🏾 I just love that line in this song. Always have.
love this song
Sensitivity- Ralph Tresvant he's is the lead singer of New Edition
I second this. I love that song!
Also, Last Night.
@@rochellelove3785
Yes. The whole damn CD actually. I loved it. He was my favorite New Edition singer though, so I am probably biased.
My childhood was amazing..
Yasss this song was so cool. The sample of it is from the song “True” by Spandau. As matter of fact he is singing the hook towards the end of the video. Try their song “Die Without You” from the “Boomerang”soundtrack. It’s so pretty.
The beat is sampled from Spandau Ballet’s “True”
Just realized that . Thank you
@TJ This is a jam, Shawny should react to, “you feel me”!
🔥🔥 This sampled from "True" by Spandau Ballet. I ❤️ both songs!
The whole 90’s was good vibes. ❤
Somewhere individuality has gotten lost, and it breaks my heart. The 90’s was heaven and filled with so much love, what happened? 😢
Best . . . song . . . ever 🎶🎶 Thanks for sharing 😊
As soon as I heard the sample of “True”, I was in love with this song.
❤❤❤I love this song 🎵🪩🎧🎶
Check out “die without you” by them
One of the BEST groups to ever do it!! This is early 90s nostalgia for me heavy...my favorite time in the 90s..I would definitely go back to that time period. Check out thier song "Die Without You" one of the best love songs ever written.
Beautiful song
Omg my daddy used to wear this song out when I was little 😂🔥🔥🔥
I always wondered why KRS ONE went at these dudes !?!? RIP Prince Be
COLD! Very underrated
I never noticed they put the singer from Spandau Ballet on their video at the end. I never noticed it before. The sampled Spandau Ballet for the hook on this song.
Yes this song has such good vibes. 🤩👍 Shawny Please react to " TRUE" by Spandau Ballet that's where PM Dawn sampled this song from .
Perfect sample by spandau ballet it is perfect
I loved PM Dawn back in the day and love how they redid this song. They added 'flava' to it. Check out the original by Spandau Ballet called 'true'. The original song was from the early 1980's.
Beat is from Paid in Full by Eric B and Rakim
1991 classic r&b/Hiphop joints ran the decade

Oh yeah, I remember them. They were also ahead of their time.
These(biological) brothers are from New Jersey.The lead singer has passed on 😢
8/17/2022
They were absolutely ahead of their time!
Your SMILE at 3:05 was genuine 💖
The transition from 80s music to 90s starts along with some other groups.
If you like this beat, listen to “True” by Spandau Ballet (I think I spelled it right ☺️)
I second it💯
They even had the lead singer in the video towards the end
Definitely worth a reaction.
@@markmenez4097 Yep!
@@markmenez4097 they sure did!
Wow they sampled 80s group Spandu Ballet "True" Love this sample. Never knew that
Love Spandau Ballet. The original song 'True' is🔥🔥🔥
Lloyd sampled it too.
They even put him in the video towards the end .
Love that you Love PM DAWN SET ADRIFT SHAWNY..Keep these old school reaction coming!..LOVE IT🔥❤️🔥

Yay!!! So glad you reacted. So glad you loved it❤️❤️❤️Definite summer vibe. This song was sampled from 80's group 'Spandau Ballet' and their song called: True. If, and, when you decide to dive into the 80's, check this song out. Great reaction🔥🔥🔥👍🏾
Yes! A beautiful summer day is EXACTLY how I would describe this song! It’s timeless and is still on my playlist.

Glad I'm not the only one that plan my day around his reactions 😂 it's just apart of my daily routine now
@@OnlyMsNicky
I know right! 😊 Love it.
His reactions are a must watch💯
Y’all better stop flirting with my man.

This takes me back to a kid in the 90s this song was everywhere They was ahead of their time . they even had the lead singer of the band Spandau Ballet which they sampled their song True .
Hip Hop was scared of this group,,,I remember vividly,
Far from "scared". Especially when their ass was sent flying off stage. 💀💀💀💀💀
@@dfree1442 nah,I mean they didn't like the direction a group like them would turn hip hop into and how much radio play they were gettin compared to traditional hip hop...
One of my all time fave vibe songs
They show at the end of the video the actual original singer of the tune. The lead singer is Tony Hadley from Spandau Ballet and the song is True.
Prince b passed away. But they solid albums
Oh damn! I just realized this is probably what inspired "YOU" and "GIRLS AROUND THE WORLD" by Lloyd and Lil Wayne. It's def an interpolation and the melody and some of the chorus are the same and the samples are pretty obvious. I forgot about this whole era and genre of music.

Shawny, shout out to you from Sydney, Australia. Would love to see you do a reaction video to "Nite and Day" by Al B. Sure. Keep up the great work
I agree. The whole CD was 🔥. Every song. I think I need to go listen to it. Back in the day, I was married to him in my mind!!
Definite must💯🔥

Its was a spin off of True Spandau Ballet a while band one of the best song out of the 80s
Love your smile! 😍
I definitely enjoy this song. nice reaction
That beat was probably influenced by 'Paid n Full' by Eric B & Rakim. Other artists borrowed that sound.
Havent heard this song in years, since the 90s and brings back the best memories!!! Thanks for reacting to this one!!❣️
