Mista's music video for their first single, "Blackberry Molasses." Bobby Valentino singing lead. Very deep song for a group their age. One of my all-time favorites. Enjoy the video!
According to Outlawz (Tupac's groups) - this was Pac's favorite song during the last month of his life. They said he played this song several times a day leading up to his death in Sept 1996. RIP 2Pac.
Wow that's interesting to know I was just starting to get into rap music I actually was listening to my very first Tupac session my friend had the whole album so I laid on the bed and listen to it while waiting for her to get dressed while my mom was at the hospital and during me waiting my mom passed away right in the middle of dear Mama when he said if you can make it through the night there's a prior day I just sat up I knew something was wrong... Come to find out we got to the hospital about an hour later she had just passed away and I know I looked right at the clock and when they told me the time my heart sank
Who's here because they needed to get through a tough time in their life and this song will make you she'd a tear but at the end you end up with a smile and a push that makes you go out and make a change
"Blackberry Molasses One of the things that never change You gotta keep pushin on The sun don’t rain all the time There’s gonna be some heart ache And pain" 🖤👑💋💯
I know that's right. I was a month away from turning 9 years old when this song was released on May 8, 1996. Those were the days. Now days, life is like, ughhh...
I’m 59 years old and this is my heart song my anthem do to speak it has got me through many a situation and I stayed strong and I’m glad I did so I say thank you
When he said “Dont think that im going crazy cause thoughts they runningthrough my head, sometimes I rather give up instead, seem like im better off dead” 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I FELT THAT !
Me and my entire family grew up in the hood this video was shot in. Thomasville Heights to be exact. Happy most of us made it out cause this song told the truth about life back then, hell now too. A lot of my childhood friends and some of my relatives died on those streets
in the projects in Atlanta (Four Seasons and Thomasville housing projects) had the murals of the children that are on the walls in the background in the beginning of this video, the images were homage to the missing and murdered children that were being abducted in the 80's...
This group came to my highschool, Peabody in Pittsburgh back in 96. They were awesome! Sang this song and it always stayed with me! It was a pleasure to see them perform. ♥️♥️
I love the song too.a true testament, about hardships in life. But having strong will and determination to press on.love yourself first before you love anybody Else Peace, sweet butterfly,
This was my cut. I remember when I first heard it. 20 yrs later it's still relevant. They don't make music like this any more fam. Miss those days when they did...
I remember listening to this song as a teenager. I am almost 40. It's amazing how when a person takes the time to write some strong lyrics how long they last. Nothing like speaking truth. I will play this song for my now pre-teen son.
Wow! This R&B Mista Group Their Music brings Me back So Memories for Me 😂😎😍🤗😇😍🎈🎗🎁🎗🎀🎊🎄🎈🎗🎁🎀🎗🎉🎗🎋🎊🎖🎗🎁🎀🎗🎇🎆🎄🎗🎖🎃🎗🎁🎀🎊🎋🎇🎆✨🎎🎏🎗🎈🎖😍😎😂😎😇😍🤗😂😎😍😎🍑🌰🍑 My High school memories
Me and my twin brother used to listen to this song when we lost our mother suddenly to a heart attack! 20 years ago! Feb 6, 2018 my twin brother suddenly lost his life to a heart attack as well (hereditary condition) in the middle of a real fight right now trying to stay strong I miss you brother I love you and I'll see you on the other side! RIP MIKE B.
Exactly if we could have more songs like this it would keep black lives in perspective. We already cool and set the trends we just missing substance now but I won’t preach no more love y’all and all
When I hear, see music like this, the tears flow down my face because these were such good times, my childhood, the innocence. God.... I always pray whenever I pass away, leave me in limbo in the 90's untill the trumpet sound!!
I never heard this track and my first opinion of it is.... why the fuck did I never hear it? it is a dope uplifting song I dig it to the fullest man I miss artist like this.
Today's music got no meaning or soul. This brings back good and sad memz I've always loved soul music blues you name it. their words and music are true and powerful and always has a story behind it
missing the father of my child who passed away February 03, 2015...i first heard this song from my brother who is celebrating 1 and half year of sobriety put me on....my heart aches so much for you Bobby. Rest In Power my King. We will re-unite one day....🕊️🕊️😓😢😭🙏🙏🙌
This brings back memories take me back the summer of '96 elementary school days when rap and r&b was still good when 2pac and biggie was still living. I think video came out 2 months before 2pac passing i remember it came out in the summer of '96 I'm glad i grow up in the '90s memories for ever.
THESE YOUNG BROTHERS SANG FROM THE HEART AND SO WHICH MAKES YOU THINK OF OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS THAT WENT THROUGH SO MUCH STRUGGLE AND HOLDING ON TO THE FAITH KEEP ON KEEPING ON GOD BLESS US FOR THIS SONG
I LOVE MISTA them boys could saaaaang! Actually got to sing with them back in the day in ATL and got to be a an extra in this vid...lol...check out my 2 seconds at 3:11...lol
I'm no old head I was born in 88 but I'm telling you I wish this younger generation would give good music a chance when I was a kid I enjoyed the music my parents listened to. I'm not saying that there is no new music that is good but for the most part todays music is garbage compared to the past maybe that's my opinion but what I hear most of the kids listening to these days just makes me wish they'd give the classics a chance they are missing out and I don't just mean rap I'm speaking on music in general its just not the same anymore...I love when new artists come out that have that classic vibe...people say music evolves like everything else but I feel it was evolved all it needed to be 10 or 15 years ago lol...its all my opinion but I'm sure there is someone out there who feels what I'm saying!
Emotionally charged classic! I'm teary eyed over here! Lol! This reminds me of me and my sis Daa'iyah! What a great song! They were so cute too! God I'm old! Lol!
These boys were before their time. Their whole album was flawless, with live instrumentals. All produced by organized Noize. Ceelo was on it too, since Organized Noise produced Goodie Mob & Outkast.
I don't care what got you here but I'm glad you're feeling the song. I wish I knew back then what I've learned now...Heartache, pain, and everybody wanting a sum. Kids still dreaming scheming and underachieving. The strength to persevere is bittersweet, ephemeral and beautiful.
Here in 2019..... brings so many memories from my childhood... singing this song on repeat ❤️❤️ blessings to everyone stay sucka free and push for your dreams !
Bobby v wasn't the only one that could sing in that group.listen to all their songs r videos. thats one of my favorite groups til this day do your research
When I say I've been playing this song since I was a little girl I mean it LOL this song brings back so many memories it just makes me think about so many things I thank God for this song it just takes me back to a time when life was good I really do miss the 90s I miss this Vibe right here
According to Outlawz (Tupac's groups) - this was Pac's favorite song during the last month of his life. They said he played this song several times a day leading up to his death in Sept 1996. RIP 2Pac.
I feel that bro! Pac actually brought me here
Wow that's interesting to know I was just starting to get into rap music I actually was listening to my very first Tupac session my friend had the whole album so I laid on the bed and listen to it while waiting for her to get dressed while my mom was at the hospital and during me waiting my mom passed away right in the middle of dear Mama when he said if you can make it through the night there's a prior day I just sat up I knew something was wrong... Come to find out we got to the hospital about an hour later she had just passed away and I know I looked right at the clock and when they told me the time my heart sank
If 2pac would of got the chance , he probably would've sampled this song .Probably another hit single too
Yeah,was in to the movie...pac probably was stressed

The generation of today needs songs like these to really speak to there minds music is so powerful
WTF? Where the bitches at?? Where the bottles at?? #Young Money
This is a profound ass song. Lil niggas of today be like, "Oh...I think I get it...so you take blackberry molasses n po' it on the bitches, right?"
Back when Black Boys sang from the Heart and Gut like Men.
CurveAngel true
Theodore Huxtable I actually tried this and it didn't work out so well
For those of you who forgot or didn't know Bobby V. Got his start as lead vocalist with this group
+Trey Smith.
Omg! I'M lookin like is that Bobby Valentino. I don't knw why I didn't connect the dots. This was my favorite song growin up!
IcancClearly35 yep that's him, they did a live performance in Atlanta a while back.
+Trey Smith Didn't Bobby & Darryl share leads in the group???
Ann Estewar nope just bobby
Trey Smith drop those facts
One of the most healing and heartbreaking songs of all time...
Definitely
❤Thats right!
"Blackberry Molasses
One of the things that never change
You gotta keep pushin on
The sun don’t rain all the time
There’s gonna be some heart ache
And pain" 🖤👑💋💯
Thanking you for the lyrics!!
Bring me back to middle school, the days of great R&B.
I miss those days!
I know that's right. I was a month away from turning 9 years old when this song was released on May 8, 1996. Those were the days. Now days, life is like, ughhh...
Baker
+Stephanie Mitchell is not
Nathan Bishop My Sentiments Exactly
Miss you Tupac. This was your ghetto gospel.

This song is still relevant today.#classic
Me and my entire family grew up in the hood this video was shot in. Thomasville Heights to be exact. Happy most of us made it out cause this song told the truth about life back then, hell now too. A lot of my childhood friends and some of my relatives died on those streets
in the projects in Atlanta (Four Seasons and Thomasville housing projects) had the murals of the children that are on the walls in the background in the beginning of this video, the images were homage to the missing and murdered children that were being abducted in the 80's...
wow!! interesting thanks for the history on the mural...I've seen stories on I.d. about Williams/ & the murders of Young boys in Atlanta in the 80s
bringdastorm that was mechanicsville housing projects
Yeah, thats Bowen Homes tho (west side) where Bobby had family. But yeah, those were crazy times.
Horrible times... Racism kills
the Atlanta child mudder .... The Ray William Story......#Rememberthistowell
This song never gets old especially when I'm feeling some kind of way and need encouragement
26 years later and it feels just as good!

I'm going thru it right now but I still have hope. Paradise is within you, you create your own paradise in spite of whatever is going on.
This song still touches me deeply til this day…Praying for all those who may be suffering in silence…🙏🏾
Bobby Valentino....... gosh the good ole days!!! Take me back

The best line from the song
2:33 this guy's vocals were amazing 👏on this song and lady.
This was my cut. I remember when I first heard it. 20 yrs later it's still relevant. They don't make music like this any more fam. Miss those days when they did...
I remember listening to this song as a teenager. I am almost 40. It's amazing how when a person takes the time to write some strong lyrics how long they last. Nothing like speaking truth. I will play this song for my now pre-teen son.
That was before we knew who Bobby Valentino was when he launched a solo career in 2005. He was the lead singer of Mista back in 1996, 1997.
that I didn't know. Thanks for sharing.
classic hands down

🙄😥
Some very powerful lyrics. Loved this song since I first heard it. Always bring me to tears.
2018 n still bumpin 😍👌🏾😍. I’m glad I’m a 80s bby. The chance to experience good music.
Who still listen In 2022
One of those songs that will never play out. This was great music!
When I hear, see music like this, the tears flow down my face because these were such good times, my childhood, the innocence. God.... I always pray whenever I pass away, leave me in limbo in the 90's untill the trumpet sound!!
Good music never dies
Was 8yrs old when this song came out. Still remember the word's.
Makes me sad now I can really understand the word's. Nothing like the 1990's music.
I used to love this song! It just randomly popped into my head today, and it still hits the same. The best video too.
"So many things you'll survive once you realize, there's no such place as paradise, at least in my eyes ..." - timid song will always be deep to me
Back when Atlanta was a great place to live
I never heard this track and my first opinion of it is.... why the fuck did I never hear it? it is a dope uplifting song I dig it to the fullest man I miss artist like this.
facts
Crazy how many people haven't heard it!
allupinyoMOUF uplifting music with message wasn't popular in that time or had radio play
allupinyoMOUF I feel the same. Tupac brought me here 🙏
allupinyoMOUF I'm 32 and I still can't believe I only heard it because of that awful movie!
Some of the best songs derive from pain......💯
The first time I heard this masterpiece was on the ATL movie back in 2006. Great music . It’s still so fresh and pure .
This genre of music needs to come back.
R& B / Pop ain’t shit nowadays.
Today's music got no meaning or soul. This brings back good and sad memz I've always loved soul music blues you name it. their words and music are true and powerful and always has a story behind it
I was 16 when this dropped,I'm 39 but it felt like it was yesterday🎧🎙🎶🎵
I always wondered why these somber lyrics were written for such young people. So sad yet such a beautiful song.
This is definitely one of those groups I wish would have stayed together and kept singing. Their harmony was impeccable.
I used to love this song when I was was 6 just because it sounded good,now that I'm feeling what he was feeling in this song,I appreciate it more.
oh my gosh these guys music is amazing
Ashley235 yesss
sarah simpkins it’s by Bobby v
missing the father of my child who passed away February 03, 2015...i first heard this song from my brother who is celebrating 1 and half year of sobriety put me on....my heart aches so much for you Bobby. Rest In Power my King. We will re-unite one day....🕊️🕊️😓😢😭🙏🙏🙌
Keep the Faith Sis

My heart is still broken.
This brings back memories take me back the summer of '96 elementary school days when rap and r&b was still good when 2pac and biggie was still living. I think video came out 2 months before 2pac passing i remember it came out in the summer of '96 I'm glad i grow up in the '90s memories for ever.
Beautiful song

Takneisha Mapps

I love this song. Everytime I come to Atlanta I find myself playing this song.
2022~ still a phenomenal song 🎵
This is my forever favorite song. This really awakens my childhood, love it. Ciroc flowing thinking of old.
Emotionally charged classic! I'm teary eyed over here! Lol! This reminds me of me and my sis Daa'iyah! What a great song! They were so cute too! God I'm old! Lol!
This tune has helped alot of people... 2021 bby xxx
Such an underrated song!
i love this song so much I like to start my day with it. it reminds me of back in the day when my kids were young. 👏
These boys were before their time. Their whole album was flawless, with live instrumentals. All produced by organized Noize. Ceelo was on it too, since Organized Noise produced Goodie Mob & Outkast.
I don't care what got you here but I'm glad you're feeling the song. I wish I knew back then what I've learned now...Heartache, pain, and everybody wanting a sum. Kids still dreaming scheming and underachieving. The strength to persevere is bittersweet, ephemeral and beautiful.
All Eyez On Me brought me back to my childhood with this one! #RIH2pac
Here in 2019..... brings so many memories from my childhood... singing this song on repeat ❤️❤️ blessings to everyone stay sucka free and push for your dreams !
This was bobby valentino? wow...never knew...

This is when the music had substance. The words related to the times.
Is it just me or does this song keeps getting better and better with time 🎧
They don’t make them like this anymore, I swear ♥️♥️

Where did the time go..? ( memory 90's music leave that lump in your throat feeling in ur chest life..still on deck 2018..!!!

Times has changed the music & the music has changed the times...nostalgia
