Lies, Jealousy & Unfinished Business | The Story of Xscape

- Опубликовано: 4 янв 2024
- Latocha, Tamika, Tiny and Kandi. They were just four ordinary teenagers from Atlanta, Georgia who could sing. And by sing…I really mean SANG! They also had an edge to them that set them apart from any other ‘90s female R&B act. Their group, called Xscape, dominated the era with three platinum albums and a style that fused R&B and hip hop with homegrown gospel harmonies. The group’s talent however would also become their undoing as personal rivalries tore apart their friendships and their music.

Biggie got A LOT of nerve calling anybody ugly!
That part! The audacity!
Say it again 😂
@@JuicyPopEntertainment I love your channel! Your content got me through postpartum. I appreciate you!
You took the words right out of my mouth.
@@JuicyPopEntertainment1:59 serves you right ✅ 😏 🤣 😉 😂 😜.
The Scott sisters are easily the best singers in the group, but they are a handful chile.
A lot of people don't talk about the incredible hits Kandi was behind. Her pen 🖊 is not to be messed with. From No Scrub to Bills Bills Bills, to Bug a Boo 💐
Kandi Burruss is an UNSUNG and BRILLIANT songwriter! ❤
@@truthtorpedo4068 We can respectfully disagree.
@nehsangbong7249 Kandi did not write those songs by herself. Bills Bills Bills and the other songs were written by 3 or more people. She always says she wrote but she does not include everyone involved in the writing of the songs.
@@nadineleo8533 I know she didn't write those songs by herself but she did contribute to it. I've always heard her crediting the people she writes songs with including Tiny with No Scrubs. TLC credits her for sure as well. I've seen videos of people talking about her songwriting skills too.
@@nehsangbong7259 Not just R&B. She contributed to Ed Sheeran's hit The Shape of You.
Xscape's 3rd and final album Traces of My Lipstick is a classic underrated album
To the Arms of the One who Loves You!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥
that’s my favorite album from them, it’s perfect from top to bottom!
‘Late night phone conversations of yewww tellin’ meeeewhatchuwannadewwwww 🥴’ 🤣🤣🤣
Facts 👌
FACTS. underrated CLASSIC
The sweet background vocals of Xscape in Mariah’s Carey remix of ALWAYS BE MY BABY was such a delightful gem to listen to especially as a huge Kandi and Mariah fan. Such a smooth, haunting yet sweet remix. Dupri did that!!!!
I love that song too. 😍
Yes! And I love Da Brat's rap too.
Killer remix especially with the S.O.S. Band sample of Tell Me Do You Still Care. ❤️
@@JuicyPopEntertainment CLASSIC! ❤️
Exactly that's my favorite remix too
Don't forget that Xscape did a collaboration with Ol’ Skool and Keith Sweat on Am I Dreaming originally sung by Atlantic Starr
Girl groups were such a FORCE in the 90s. Xscape will ALWAYS be one of the most UNFORGETTABLE and INFLUENTIAL of them all! ❤
Groups in general were the thing at the time. Actually, it seems that groups were always the standard until more solo acts started to spring up towards the end of the 20th century.
Like family, you only see people at reunions... that's it, that's all. I can't blame Kandi for distancing herself.
All of the inbred gossip is what got me. If Kandi was messing with JD wouldn't you think there would be more albums or Kandi going solo?
Tamika shoulda kept that apology. You can't put a Band-aid on what she said about Kandi. It still left a scar behind.
@@nataliemscrzysxycoolharris I don't blame Kandi either and scars do matter. 😔
@@skip031890 Truth! Groups-male and female-made 90s music hella MEMORABLE! ❤️
Kandi’s solo debut album may have been slept on commercially but that project epitomizes that sassy R&B sound of 1999-2000 in a successful way. Besides DONT THINK I’M NOT, the album cuts on HEY KANDI definitely had the magical futuristic sound that she and her hitmaking partner She’kspere did well for Destiny’s Child, TLC, Pink, Mya, etc. that same year prior to her album release.
Definitely slept on , still listen to it today
Spot on! I had that ‘Hey Kandi’ CD, which was a really good effort. She was well received outside of the US in 2000 with that album and remember her doing a lot of promo for the lead single ‘Don’t Think..’ A lot of noise was obviously made around Kandi’s and Tiny’s songwriting success and Grammy win for ‘No Scrubs’. That signature She’kspere sound was so popular and recognisable in 2000. I remember hearing that production on songs by Destiny’s Child, Pink and of course Kandi, that year. It was definitely the r’n’b sound I remember most in the year 2000.
@@swiftlydoesit8480 I always found her writing skills very story telling , Can’t come back ,Easier ,I wanna know are 🔥….I think Cheating on me was a poor choice in second single though 🤷
@@DaymoJHyes! Kandi is very intentional as a writer. “Easier” was about her late brother, I believe. You’re probably right about “Cheatin On Me”, but it was a great song nonetheless, just not single material I think but the video was good! There were better options but her lyrics were too for grown folks lol e.g “I won’t bite my tongue” was a great song with a nice catchy hook but too dirty lol
@@DaymoJHI think it was a poor choice too. I love the other songs you mentioned.
Traces of my lipstick is one of the sexiest R&B albums to date
So much drama is an understatement. Regardless, Xscape is part of 90s RnB history.
Now, we need an SWV video from Juicy Pop.....
Sistas With Voices,the 90s had the most/best R & B groups ( mostly black tho-LOL ) in any decade,I'm just now find out about most of them. LOL. TOO many to keep track of them back in the 90s.
Yes! Please do one on SWV!!
Spoiler alert 🚨 If a girl group comes out that you like, you better treasure them because you’ll get 2-3 albums and about 5 years max. Exhibit A= En Vogue. I’m still not over their breakup. 😢
Me neither! Imagine if they could've done all that should've been ahead of them. EnVogue were true vocalists. They should've been WAY bigger and compensated fairly!
This happens to males groups as well. Human being just have too flaws to work together long-term.
Xscape will always be one of my all time favorite vocal groups!
Mine is-EN-VOGUE. And all of them were-GORGEOUS-and-SEXY. Lord have mercy. LOL.
Xscape's three albums are classics
Big Facts
Yessss I grew up on all of them and still listen now.
Tiny was was so naturally beautiful
👀
Xscape's debut album Hummin Comin at Cha was released on the same day as DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince's 5th and final album Code Red and Salt-n-Pepa's 4th album Very Necessary on October 12th 1993
Don’t forget Tevin Campbell’s album I’m Ready
@@D-Will2kyup
Kandi also sang on E-40's song U and Dat with T-Pain
Xscape also appeared shows such as The Mickey Mouse Club, All That, New York Undercover and Moesha
There were rumors that their song "Just Kickin' It" was ORIGINALLY meant for TLC for their second album CrazySexyCool👧🏾👩🏾👱🏾♀❤🤍❤, they MIGHT be right about that because I can LITERALLY hear TLC singing this song for that album, T-Boz said that she LOVES this song + she even sung it on her ig live & it DEFINITELY would've been the 3rd track on the album instead of "Kick Your Game", frfr💯
I think it all worked out how it should’ve I love kick your game
Xscape is still one of the best groups to come out in the 90s! If some of them just put their egos aside (cough... Tocha & Kandi), they could still be banking off their success. Their classics alone are enough for us & we'd still go see them on tour.
Speaking of Teen Summit, I hope you do a story on the show
The song Feels so Good was heard on New York Undercover season 2 episode 5 Digital Underground
“My little secret” is still on my playlists. Great video! 😌
I still love their music despite the group not being a whole anymore. I have all three of their albums, I got the first one on tape (yes tape lol) for xmas my 8th grade year. I always felt their 2nd album was the strongest. I never knew Kandi and Latocha threw hands lol. Kandi has been very successful and still is, its seems Latocha was the core of all the problems, and still is.
Damnit i done stubbed my toe running in here😒
Be careful! 😉
@@JuicyPopEntertainment1:01 aaaah.
@@JuicyPopEntertainment0:48 nice 👍🙂.
Seems like all groups go through something similar. In r&b and hip-hop. Like envogue and TLC. SWV. NWA AND BONE THUGS. Thts alot of different perspectives and personalities in one room. IMO
I RAN 🏃🏾♀️ here so fast!
Who Can I Run To remix & Feels So Good are my jams🙌🏾
Da Brat also appeared in Xscape's Love on My Mind video
The timing of this couldn't be any better...
Girl groups were at its peak in the 90’s. I felt Xscape was the best girl group. Yes, I said it. I love them!
“In the Rain” on the “Love Jones” soundtrack cemented it for me. I LOVE THAT SONG! Tiny killed it! ❤❤❤
We don't have many groups today because of drama
I mean, no one can say kandi was jealous that tocha was gonna sing lead more. It's how she and the people behind the scenes went about it that was wrong. tocha thought she was all that because she let Rocky and other people get in her head, thinking she was better than the group pretty much acting like she's gladys and the other girls are the pips, and i feel bad that Tamika had to lie on kandi and stick up for tocha even when tocha did wrong she felt like the only way to receive love from her sister and mother is too take tocha's side no matter what.
Oh please Kandi was definitely in fact Jealous of Tocha.
This group would have not sold without La Tocha voice and the producer's knew she was the voice.
So apparently, Tocha bought some bots to comment and come for me, because i never said they wouldn't be who they were without her. I said tocha thought she was all that because of Rocky and other people how she acted in that reality show with Xscape and SWV pretty much showed what Kandi and others have said, even da brat called tocha out on her behavior when she was doing a interview with dish nation.
@IAM_LaniDiamond no bots over here. Tocha always knew she had a beautiful voice. The fans were constantly saying that she could sang before Rocky ever stepped in the picture. Kandi just didn't think that the very person that they called " Big girl" would be the new face of Xscape. Tocha is gorgeous, and she has the strongest versatile voice of the group. Fans and producers requested that she lead more. That's why their third album was their best-selling album, even with the very little promotion they did for the album. In their show Queens of R&B Tocha handled the whole situation very well. You could clearly tell they were trying to get her out of character with the constant attacks, and she never yelled or gotten out of character, and they couldn't stand it. I don't know what ya'll see. As far as Brat, she has been kissing Kandi's behind for years. Her statements were very bias, considering she never had a problem with Tocha. She said Tocha looked the meanest, and Tocha said, but I loved on you the most, and brat didn't deny it. Kandi is sneaky. The girl has been showing who she truly is on housewives for years. She's a sneaky two face that stirs up drama and then acts surprised like she doesn't know what happened. I can only imagine how she was as a teen in the group.
Oooooo SWV! I’d like to request a vid on them and Jade. Them groups could sang, They Can Sang! Gracias 🙏🏽
All the throwback pics of Kandi all I see is her kids! Lol Especially Riley and Blaze. ❤
Can I just say kandi is the baddest one of the group
I didn't know Xscape added a different member 🤔.... I didnt notice
I used to LOVE Tinys verse on 'So hard to say goodbye'...I used to try to impersonate her so bad 😂🤦🏽♀️
I think tiny looked better in the old time with all the plastic surgery and eye coloring she looks totally different
I'm not sure why she got so much work done 🤨; she was really cute before all of that.
@@courtneypalmer53Unfortunately, there's lots of women who can't even see their own beauty. Just ask lil kim
fr. she look like Smokey Robinson now
Welcome to 2024 Happy New Year!!!
All 3 albums were great
Kandi was always my favorite and she has always been sexy to me, even when they use to wear the baggy outfits.
Love Xscape def top 5 group imo love there songs Do like Lovers Do, Cant Hang, Softest Place on Earth, 1of These Love Songs, I Will, With U& Work Me Slow.
Waiting for the movie!
One of my favorite groups❤😊
I love this
Thank you!
It was about time y’all dropped this video❤
Thank you ❤
Another great one,Juicy Pop!
They have so much drama.🤣
I been waiting for this video on Xscape
My parents saw them sing in Shreveport Louisiana years ago
Bottom line LaTocha was the problem smh.
Kandi is the problem. Always have been.
All of them were the problem
Latocha was cause of her insecurity, Kandi cause of her ego. Like said before, all contributed to their issues during their prime.
@RossJr8604 yes. They all were the problem. Though if Kandi just let Tocha sang lead, like they let her, it wouldn't have been a big deal.
@andipurpose7121 Why do she have to be the only one to sing lead when they all could sing? Tocha just let people get in her head and play with her insecurities. Like she was trying to go solo after one album smh.
Great story on Xscape
I have a couple of their albums. They are in my playlists.
Kandi girl is the best, plus i loved how she kept all of these nobodies from the real housewives of Atlanta in check!!! She won in every argument love her!!
One of my favorite r&b groups that has inspired me I saw them in concert a few years ago but kandi wasn’t there sadly I love their music and own all their albums
3 amazing gorgeous albums. 1 exceptional group. Love Xscape
Never clicked on a video so fast and liked before it got to the 20sec mark lol
Ayeeee happy new year
Happy New Year! 🥳
@@JuicyPopEntertainment0:30 😝 😝 😝 😝 😝 😝 you ❤ 🎶 😍 ♥ 💕 😉 too.
@@JuicyPopEntertainment0:26 yes.
Do swv next please
Nice
I always liked Xscape. Even though I don't know all the functionality of what it actually takes to be in a singing group. To me if you're part of a group or team there is no "I" in either one of those things. Have to learn to be ready to accept different challenges as a group/ team. It's teamwork to formulate the efforts to become greater at what you do. They shown that effort and put their best vocals forward. I'm saying a group of singers have a lead singer in most groups but all their vocally inclined efforts shines bright when you make songs where each and every member of the group has at least a solo verse within a song. You have those who harmonize well together, which Xscape executes that nicely. Each one is good at what they do. But as for voice tones Kandi has the deepest voice but also can hit those high notes when necessary. I'm sorry to say I never liked her voice tone that much. So back in the days it's like their first songs when they were younger it was like to me that era where it sounded more so like she was talking instead of singing. But them together were good with being in tuned vocally. performing shows and tours they still putting their best efforts in place. Got to love them for that. Even with the differences and dramas that occured , Xscape is a memorable girl group, they're grown, sexy, Matured and business minded and career driven women. Didn't know they had other fill in members didn't know that about them. The strongest vocalist in the group I'd say is Tamika Scott her voice tone is great, Tameka "Tiny" has a settle beautiful voice, And Kandi is the deeper voice tone and sounds good. Tocha was a good singer but she wasn't the one and only that carried the group. Her sister could pick up the slack nicely and execute the songs when it was the 3 instead of all 4.
Saw them in person a month ago and Kandi was HORRIBLE 😩 Tameka carried their performance.
Ivy Couch was also a member during this time and they also asked LaTavia to also replace Kandi. I still wanna know what that Unchained album would have sounded like.
Favorite Xscape album: Traces of my 💋
Love their remakes of DeBarge - All this love & The Dramatics - In the rain
3:23 Kandi looking like Tempest Bledsoe
Keep on is one of my favorites and I loved Kandi's song Don't Think I'm Not. I thought Xscape were beautiful women when I was a kid and they still are in my opinion. I didn't see the usung episode, but the business can bring out the worst in everyone.
✨⭐✨💕💞💕💕💞💕✨⭐✨
So funny they let Tamera go for lack of vocals...but Kandi is questionable 😂
I agree I always thought Kandi didn't have the best vocals
Kandi's voice was the low tone they needed to blend & harmonize so well, imo.
Jermaine Dupri said that he wrote and produced all of Xscape's songs based on Kandi's voice...so...
She's definitely needed for the harmony but her pitch is not as clean as the others at times
Xscape was 100% inspired look was from Jodeci...they said it in interviews...
ALL THESE DOCUMENTARIES ON ALL THESE RNB GROUPS..."BUT NOTHING ON JODECI"...WHAT'S THE DELAY...SOOOO NEEDED
Kandi don't cry you was the star of the group
Tiny said on a ig post that it’s a slim Chance to none that they will perform as 4 ever again.. tocha dogged all of them !
Tasha is extremely against all Kandi stands for, that's a very dangerous place to be in over someone, Tasha's vocals are undeniable that could have taken her over and beyond, Kandi was the writer which gave them plenty to go on, Tasha's hatred and later the venom she allowed a male to put in her head and heart sent her down an unforgivable path, got her out here being a complete failure to everything she attempts to do, if she totally honored the higher up there's no telling how successful she would have been, now the rest of her life today will be spent paying karma for the unnecessary drama she brought on the path of successful artists, what God has for you is for you, she failed to comprehend that the journey wasn't hers alone trying to disrupt what God had for the other girls only made them more successful, never allow anyone the space to take you out the game, Tasha can thank herself and husband for the ultimate damage they have done trying to be out front on top, what pure waste of heaven sent talent, thanks Latocha and Rocky for being the most extreme self destructive human beings ever!
I still can't believe as talented as they were they only sold 9 million records worldwide I don't understand because they could sing their asses off
Xscape is the boy Jodeci
SACHEA 🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒
I never thought they was ugly esp Tiny but ppl think im ugly so I guess my opinion doesn’t matter
Wait did u get a new account this voice sounds so familiar
They are so much positive and peaceful without Tasha clearly she was the drama
Kandi is the drama. Xscape 3 never had a problem when Kandi wasn't with them. Kandi and Tocha were the only ones bumping heads, and that's because spoiled Kandi always wants to be in charged.
I hate to say it but I miss tiny's old face. She was so cute.
Tamara looked like blue ivy a lil bit in a few pics
They thought they were slick getting a girl that kind of looks like Kandi to replace her LOL
3:21 nevertheless Xscape.
4:29 one of the biggest girl group of all time.
Did this channel change its name?
Tameka & Tocha are messy! They need to come with a warning sign! ☢️⚠️🚫
It's the other two that were messy.
0:13 Heyyyy
Poor Tamara...
Damn.. "Recorded in just 2 WEEKS?!"
Tiny...what happened? 🤦
Kandi can't sing but damn, she's a good songwriter/producer 😭
She sounds like a Sickly Goat.
just saw them in concert last month 😂
JD didnt come up with that look, R Kelly gave aaliyah that look and they just followed suit..
so much drama
So am i tripping?? Didn't Jermaine have a baby with one if the members,then candy slept with him 🤷🏽🤷🏽if so why is she acting like that gurl shouldn't be mad 🙄😩🤦🏽
Biggie apologized MINUTES before he died? Really?
We’re bringing dry as $ Xscape for what exactly!
