@@sallyintucson did you ever have one of those friends that the more giggle weed they, let's say,that they became familiar with, the knowledgeable they got? I had several of them. They could school you on any current event.😀
No doubt, Lady Dee !!! They should definitely check out Brother Dave Chappelle and the Chappelle show, those two particular episodes were the best and most hysterically funny !!! LOL.
Yes indeed Rick James was very sexy I was too young to go to his concerts back in the day but that's one thing I wish I could have seen him live I can smell the Mary Jane in the air right now, lol
Rick James's backup singers were known as the Mary Jane Girls. He later produced their albums in the 80's, and they had a hit with the song "In My House."
@@traceyw9635 This song was the group's biggest hit and their only Top 40 hit. The only reason I know about it is because they used to play the video on MTV in the mid-80's, which was very rare at the time for this genre of music.
Im dying for you to hear michel'le her speaking voice and singing voice are so completely different. "Something in my heart" and no more lies are good.
You know what?! I never paid attention to the fact that the street name Mary Jane was a breakdown of the actual word and the Spanish word for Jane. You taught me something new at 40+! LOL
Stayed in the radio! Played at every dance and club🔥 He was a Motown musician and artist who produced and wrote songs for Teena Marie, The Mary Jane Girls, The Temptations, Eddy Murphy and Smokey Robinson. He was a ladies man for sure! He and Prince were friends. Hendrix may have been his guitar inspiration!
Mary Jane = Marijuana, they used to call it that. If you can, Teena Marie Lovergirl! (the real video) She was his fiancee for a time. First white female guest on Soul Train. She has more soulful things, a duet with Rick called Fire and Desire which is an alternative to react to. Peace
Hahaha....maybe react to Pass the Dutchie by Musical Youth. I used to love that song. I'm not sure what happened to them, but it was a catchy song in the early eighties! ✌&❤
So many artists owe Rick James for laying the blueprint! Charlie Wilson(Gap Band), Aaron Hall, R Kelly, even Prince and countless others took a piece of Rick James passion, style and outright vocal bending of lyrics, to create a sexy mood of a song
Rick used to light it up (his Mary Jane) on stage. He'd be (his band too) so high. Yes, Prince reminds most people of Jimi Hendrix and he dated Denise (aka Vanity) before Prince stole her away. Prince used to open for Rick, but when Prince got big, Rick hated him.💜
One of the most underrated singers, songwriter, producers in modern music history. Produced many hit songs for various artists, who's crown jewel artist is Teena Marie. Look up Teena Marie, the white queen of soul, with songs such as, Fire And Desire (Duet with Rick James), Portuguese Love, I Need Your Lovin, Square Biz, Yes Indeed, etc.
He's an old school r&b musician known for his funk sound. He has a plethora of music, songwriting and putting groups together 2 his credit. U Can't Touch This by MC Hammer came out of his hit song Superfreak. He's a legend in the r&b/funk world. Check him out on yt, he's fantastic.
"It seems like one of those songs that was on the radio 24/7". It was. Especially in his hometown. Every one of us from the Nickel City - who remember that time - will always have love for Rick James....
You are right this was the JAMM back in the day. EVERYONE was blastin' this in L.A. with the tops down, hollerin' out the windows at the babes......Rick was a solid musician. The song is not about a girl, it was about WEED. That is what the boi's called it back in the day. When this came out it just solidified the nickname. In the movie FRIDAY with Ice Cube and Chris Tucker (As smokey) this song played as he constantly stayed on a high from MARY JANE!!!! This song was musik history!!!! Great reaction!!!
@@freddygigliotti7214 If we're talking just Lady T, then absolutely. I would also add Out On A Limb because of the emotions in her voice. And Square Biz.
@@rwelmer actually anything by Teena Marie, my fav female singer. You are so right about the emotion in her voice on out on a limb. She should have been given more respect for the talent she had.
Rick James ohhh boy brings back some good memories :) Thank you Twins for bringing some good memories back !! I love how y`all will listen to anything, soul, R&B, country, hiphop, classic rock etc !! Y`all are awesome, sky's the limit..
Thank u for reacting to my "Unc"He would have loved this. Btw Unc gave Prince his first tour in the 70s and they didn't get along to well. Prince loved Jimmy and fashioned himself musically after him.
You got had it nailed. He did indeed live his life without worry of what others thought. RIPRickJames. You simply MUST listen to the duet " Fire and Desire " with Teena Marie
My friends ran a DJ night in the East Village of NYC in the mid-late 90s called Mary Jane. It was also not so much about a girl. But every night started with this song. And I handed out old school Mary Jane candies. Also, this is now one of my favorite Twins reactions.
My niece is named MaryJane. I played this song when she was about 2.5 yrs old and I said "Listen they're singing about you!" and after she heard her name she said "HEY!! THEY REALLY ARE SINGING ME!! WHY ARE THEY SINGING ME!??!" I hadn't thought about what to tell her about that. But, I thought quick & said "Bcz you're so cool!" Which she accepted no problem of course. I love my MaryJane.
Rick James was a superstar!! And yes this song was in heavy rotation. Rick and Prince did a tour together and there was some bad feelings btwn the 2...it was enough room for everyone cuz we loved them both.
I loved this song as a pre-teen! I didn’t know what he was really singing about until I was older! Mary Jane was rumored to be about weed but I thought it was about a girl! Rick James was very talented as a musician, song writer, producer, singer, etc! Prince reminds me of Jimi Hendrix but I can see how you guys can see him in Rick! Hendrix was a big influence on many guitarists, black and white! My first concert at 13 years old was Prince and Rick James! Greatness!!! ❤️❤️

Mary Jane is about weed! A blunt to be exact. Not a girl. 😂
It sure is ☺️
Y'all is young this about weed
Lol. It was so funny
You have to love them tho
I was wondering if they were going to pick up on that. 🤣
Fun fact: Mary Jane is not a girl. He’s singing about marijuana. Lol! The good ol’ days. You’d have to be there! 😂
Right!! LOL I"m a 70s gal, I was there!
Born and raised!! Lol 😂
@@araya52 So was I🙂!!!
I miss what I now call “giggle weed”. You could get stoned with your friends and laugh about stupid things. The weed grown today is too strong for me.
@@sallyintucson did you ever have one of those friends that the more giggle weed they, let's say,that they became familiar with, the knowledgeable they got? I had several of them. They could school you on any current event.😀
Lord! Im, actually, old enough to witness young adults NOT know that MaryJane isn’t a person...😂
Welcome to the club!!!
Yeah guess they just said no like Nancy Reagan said
Me too
I think they be knowin' more than they let on 🤯🤯🤯 😂
I want them to watch Friday 😂😂😂
Y’all should watch The Chappelle Show when Charlie Murphy tells celebrity stories about Rick James and Prince
Oh yah i miss Charlie Murphy sad
I was just about to type this. They gotta react to that.
No doubt, Lady Dee !!! They should definitely check out Brother Dave Chappelle and the Chappelle show, those two particular episodes were the best and most hysterically funny !!! LOL.
You like Rick you gotta listen to "Fire and Desire"!
PLEASE film yourselves reacting to THAT ^^
" He look like a pimp" , I just fell out of my chair laughing, I forgot to buckle my seat belt.
Rick was a pimp
Nah...pimps look like Rick James.
@@MissTBrown-qd9dl he loved the women and the women loved him
No seatbelt??
Click it or ticket

Rick James's backup singers were known as the Mary Jane Girls. He later produced their albums in the 80's, and they had a hit with the song "In My House."
True but he was singing about Weed solely....
All Night Long was the hit
@@traceyw9635 “In My House” was also a hit.
@@CassandraReneeXOXO I know what the song is about. It's a hippie slang term for marijuana. I didn't say he wrote the song about his backup group.
@@traceyw9635 This song was the group's biggest hit and their only Top 40 hit. The only reason I know about it is because they used to play the video on MTV in the mid-80's, which was very rare at the time for this genre of music.
My favorite Rick James song! It was years before I realized what Mary Jane he was singing about. Marijuana 😂
Me too😂😂
Me too🤣
Exactly, didn't realize until I was a little older!LOL 😆
Me too! Had no idea, just singing along while roller skating.
Same here
Hey Twins,
Mary Jane ain't no female.
Mary Jane is what Craig and Smokey was smoking on in Friday.
"Cocaine's a helluva drug." I know this is about weed, but I had to reference Chappelle Show.
Came here to say this!
🤣🤣🤣
Ikr! I thought Ozzy's heart would have exploded by now. But he may be actually part vampire because of the bad blood
Haha cos it's legendary
They shoulda neva gave you niggas money 🤣
Y’all need to check out Cameo-- Candy, Shake Your Pants, Word Up.

I love the innocence of you guys. Mary Jane was metaphorical. He was low key talking about weed.
Yes he was...lol!
They youngstas,they don't know...😂🤣
low key... ha....
@@edartigas1191 ikr more like high key
Ok. I’ve said this before, but I can’t hear Rick James without immediately thinking “Hey! Charlie Murphy!” 😂🤣. Some of you will understand. ❤️❤️❤️
I'm Rick James, bitch!
Enjoy yo self!
What did the five fingers say to the face?? 🤣🤣🤣
I'm rick James, bietch!

Yessssss plzzzzz!!!!!😉🙋🏾♀️
Fire and Desire by Rick James and Teena Marie. You won't be sorry. You will be waving that white flag!

You know what?! I never paid attention to the fact that the street name Mary Jane was a breakdown of the actual word and the Spanish word for Jane. You taught me something new at 40+! LOL
Lol they're too pure
I was a Rick James Junkie. lol I saw him in concert like 8 times. Love you guys and what you stand for. Love when I see your notifications pop up!
It makes my day to see a notification pop up, too!
Funny thing about the song: Motown thought that song was about a girl. Had they known, I doubt the song would’ve been released
Now that's funny. Even Motown didn't have a clue.
Especially in the 1970's.
Omgness hahahahahahaha
You would love Brothers Johnson “Strawberry Letter 23” - amazing funk guitarist, maybe you already know them though - epic funk
YES!!! A must.
I'll be good to you... Brothers Johnson my favorite
I love STOMP by the Brothers Johnson

"It seems like one of those songs that was on the radio 24/7". It was. Especially in his hometown. Every one of us from the Nickel City - who remember that time - will always have love for Rick James....
He hated Prince. He took Prince on tour with him and was mad because Prince was so dope.
Yeah they hated each other. He hated Prince until he died. He was before Prince and he said Prince stole his style with the look
I LOL’ed when they made the Prince analogy because of this.
@@KBLovesMovies check out the tales from the tour bus that talks about it if you haven't already. So funny
And Prince took Denise "Vanity" instead. Remember Vanity 7
Vanity 6...not 7...I'm a Prince historian.
Y’all need to listen to his girl group Mary Jane Girls their song Candyman and All Nite Long
I was a kid when this song came out. I didn't know who Mary Jane was either when I first heard it 😆😆.
“Slick” Rick James. One of the baddest to do it. Gems for days.
Ok now watch “Party All The Time” by Eddie Murphy and Rick James 💯💯💯
