Mona Lisa had some serious Aaliyah vibes and really wished her career blew up too. Could you imagine her and Aaliyah doing a Monica/Brandy type of collabo back then? Girl could hold her own.
To all my 70's BABIES who were Partying and Clubbing in the 1990's DECADE, Yall know this was a 90's CLUB BANGER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And hearing this joint makes us all reminisce back to our young days in our 20's in the 1990's CLUBS
@@TwoPrettyRedDimes oh no no no you wasnt, lol , you was only old enough to go to teenage house parties in the 90's decade boo , lmao . it was the (60's babies) & the (70's babies) who were the young adults all up in the hiphop, rnb & reggea club scene jamming in the 90's decade baby , lol
It wasn't that she missed her window. Her management (one of whom's on the phone with her in the video) was a former A&R of Uptown Records (post Diddy) that got a lot of projects shelved. Despite appearances on Soul Train, Teen Summit, All That, and even some Bad Boy Remixes, her management was more concern with exposing her labelmates Dru Hill (no hate to them) than her. 11-20-79 is a fire album, tho. Island Def Jam should've promoted better.exposing
She got lost in the shuffle there was a lot of talent out there at the time and the album got lost but not going to lie the album was fire 🔥 I wish she was able to truly shine back then
Yes, it was 96’ think about who was out , Brandi’, Monica’, Xscape, Mary j Blige, Mariah Carey , Toni Braxton, En Vogue, Faith Evans, those were the universal playlist , and almost 40’ Black distribution movies came out from 1995-1997 with killer soundtracks !!! But I will say this , that girl had talent and should have easily been Universal!!!
The outfits, the hair, the dances, the beat, the head bop, the subject matter, the voices, the cool ass swag. Very nostalgic! 😩😍 I’m so glad I was a young child and grew up in the 90’s 💯
Yeah she was but when you think of the alternative so many lost their soul and leading MILLIONS to lose their I hope she is doing well a least she got to experience what is like to have a DREAM and👀it materialize even if it was for a short time many people can't say that .MY OPINION.
Man 1995 will always be the best year in music in my opinion, you got Mona Lisa with this track, TLC with waterfalls, Mariah Carey with Fantasy/One sweet day, Whitney Houston With Exhale, This is how we do it by Montell Jordan, You are not alone By Michael Jackson, and the list just keeps going on!!!
utubefanatic233 I know that's right. I remember watching Video Soul top 20 countdown and miss seeing decent people and videos make it in the top 20 countdown and stay there for a while. Music wasn't rushed then like they were on a schedule maybe that is why the music sounded so great then.
“Afraid of rejection but your perfection girl is real, yo I could write a book on how you make a n***a feel”....... this song is a C L A S S I C !!!!!!!
I remember doing that dance on the skating floor in my skates at Skate Key in the Bronx, New York with one of the cute dudes at the rink. Lord........... I miss those days. 2:49
Mona is so damn beautiful! And what a voice she's got on her! I miss hers, Total's, Gina Thompson's & Nicole Wray's presence in R&B terribly. Sad that the only recent work she's done musically was a 2011 track titled "First Klass (That Lyfe)". An okay track but it definitely didn't live up to the hotness Mona delivered here or her 1996 debut album. Miss this woman!
The Bass Remix sounded good too..1999 what a time to be alive,used to bump this preparing the outfit for the club on fridays,still can smell the Tommy Jeans cologne 😂
This woman just doesn’t know this song is my top 5 and I listen to it about everyday 😩😩😩😩 I thought it was Aaliyah at first when I watch don’t be a menace as a kid but when MySpace came out I looked up the song & saw it was her she’s been my favorite ever since. 11-20-79 album ❤️❤️
Mona Lisa was beautiful, singing, and banging back in the days way before the Beyoncé's, Rihanna's, and whoever else exist today in today's watered down dying era of R&B. Learn the history!
I'm so glad I grew up listening to music like this. The 90's when music was real. So sad to see this era gone.... lucky to have been apart of it❤️❤️❤️❤️
2020 and I still bangs this record! I bought her Album at Heathrow Airport because I saw her poster in the black beat magazine. I Must of been 14 years old at the time. I didnt like the slow songs at first but Now I cant live without one of her songs on my playlist! She was a danger to the industry and thats why I think they shut her down! The 10 second note on album track 'Keep Fallin' gets me every time! She is a gangster vocalist!

Era when R&B was full of female teenager singers ...Mona Lisa, Monica, Aaliyah, Brandy etc.
Musically "95" was crazy! We were really spoiled back then, and it it took until 2005 for me to realize that!
Underrated comment!
This song blew up in 96💯🔊🎧😎
Very true! That’s why so much talent slipped by us. We had too much to choose from.
What a time 😢❤❤
She was so underrated
My shit in 90s
Very underrated
