Monica's parents did an excellent job of raising a young lady. Having class is priceless, her reputation speaks for itself. When I hear her sing, she sends chills all through my soul.
EXCELLENT JOB TRULY AND SHES DOING THE SAME WITH HER KIDS! ❤️

Monica if you ever see this sis you definitely paved the way for your generations. Cheers to another 20 years God's Will.
Tell me if you still care 🎶😀
She has definitely Aged so well. Looking sophisticated and beautiful ! wow
Monica is so humble, listening to her talk she’s very wise. I almost cried hearing her speak about being the “underdog” I’ve always felt like the underdog. We always surpass !!
Yes that was so Deep! Love her to death! Just a sweet and genuine Soul!

Her new album miss thing part 2 about to be fire in first single love don't live here anymore feat khia shamone
Monica and Aaliyah never looked their age. I'm watching this and hearing her say "i was 12 1/2 yrs old during this time " Girl what?? Mind blowing. And then have the nerve to look 24 yrs old now. 🤣🤣 #BlackDontCrack
Haha right!!!!
I absolutely love Aaliyah and Monica my babies!!!!
Right! She is stuck in a time warp. Looked grown at 12 and barely aged.
Lmao she really does look 24. It’s still mind blowing to hear she was 12 singing don’t take it personal. Not only her look, but her VOICE was hella mature and powerful beyond her years
That's what I dont like about them. Fast...
Love Monica! Monica and Brandy did a lot for the culture
And Aaliyah!
@@cortezmiller1899 Tlc too
TLC
@@parismorris8238 yeah but Monica was a queen.
@@cortezmiller1899 right she was in her own lane there was nothing like her.
Monica was so mature at the age of 17!
We love the 90's monca even right now
Me being from Augusta, Ga Monica was our Ms. Franklin, Mrs. Turner, Ms. Baker, and Ms. Houston y'all. I love Monica then, now, and forever😍😍😍
I’ve loved Monica’s music since I was a child; however, watching this series has given me a newfound and unwavering level of respect for Monica as an individual. She represents one of VERY few people in the entertainment industry that are humble and down-to-Earth, in spite of how much success she has attained. The mere fact that she’s sharing these aspects of her life with us openly is soooo respectable and very much appreciated.
Ardae H same !
Same for me
I love Monica because she’s one of the realest and NEVER changes up.
NEVER!!!!! ALWAYS REAL!
R Wheel 💯 Auntie Mo is everythang!
Facts love #RealRecognizeReal💯💕
Thats what made me like her more than Brandy
Most Relatable.... we have alot in common (shes just famous lol) Ive always liked her #1980sbaby from GA!!
I love the story behind the iconic Miss Thang pixie cut! Monica always did it her way.
Youngest African American to win a Grammy ,9th youngest person overall ,my legend ❤️❤️
* 5th overall act if we’re being technical (first 3 were a group )
Black genius
Tried it. Her and brandy won thay grammy together.
Dominique Marshall yes but they aren’t the same age, Monica is younger
@@Fullmoonafterthestorm her and brandy though are the youngest it's a dup Grammy lol
Wow I’ve been saying it for years Monica has always been the underdog! She’s never really gotten the credit she deserves but still so humble and can see some good in most situations! Such rarity. I’ve been rocking with Monica since I knew what music was! No lie! I’m 27 yrs old now!
Monica, your wisdom is A-1
Monica is just so dope. This documentary really impressed me and I’m even more of a fan after watching it.
Monica I just loved your back story. You need to do more on RUclips I don't have social media. Im a fan for life. You did your thing and stayed true to your self. I remember cutting my hair short in the top like t-boz but my mom would not let me dye it blond. So I left it short at the top with side burns and long in the back. Thanks for Always keeping it real.
My fav created a masterpiece of an album and graduated with her class as valedictorian!!! Man please y’all better put some respect on Monica’s name fr!!!
Monica is 1 of the few artists who you never heard w/ money troubles.
I admire how you remained true to yourself. I’ve been a fan since 1995.
She will always be a legend many sleep on her but her true fans shall always Stan ❤️🤞🏼
Facts!!!!
💯
*you know Mo a real one riding out to that Lauryn Hill Lost Ones✊🏾*
My fav ❤️ I absolutely love Monica’s confidence. I’m sure her family has a lot to do with it which is evidence of how important it is that children be raised in a loving environment. They tend to be more secure and sure of themselves.
Yep!!!
There are a few things that I learned from Monica growing up! 1 always be real with yourself and 2. Work hard at what you do! I’ve been a fan for since the beginning and still is a fan at 35 years old! Monica thank you for always being you!
I always loved her voice, I still think she's underrated, but for me she's one of the best vocalist all time
Thanks, Monica for another trip down the memoir lane.... Please give the fans some footage of the first videos of Just one of those days.... that were unreleased.
I just love that fact that she is so grounded in the mist of all her success!!! You can tell she had a very good upbringing!! Love you Monica💕💕💕💕
YOU CANT WATCH MONICA STORIES AND NOT GO TO THESE ALBUMS PERIOD
I loved all the 90s r&b teen queens. Aaliyah, Brandy and Monica. I must say Monica's music always hit me different. You really feel what she sings. Love Mo since 95
That's why I love the 90s artists they really grind they put in real work they got out there and song Acapella
And they can really sing
@@tarahill8488 yes they can
I can listen to Street Symphony all day long.
Yesssss! Had it on repeat on the way to work!
Yes
Monica when I tell you most of your albums got me thru my life problems omg! Still to this day they get me thru! Your not the underdog in my eyes! Your vocals speak for you! You always kept it classy didn’t have to be a sex symbol to make it and I respect ✊🏾 you for that! Love 💕
And i swear whatever phone and/or camera person is legit. Monica pics on the gram be pristine. 😍😍
Right!!! i think she has a personal photographer from what i saw on T.I and Tiny Family Hustle show
@@CillaRaieTV oh ok. Cool...
So humble, so beautiful, so relatable, so talented, so authentic, and so smart. I will always support Monica! 💜
Thank God that Dallas Austin isn't like any other producer like R. Kelly in general. Monica is a true singer. I also do remember her as she was featured on the 1995 song Freedom as part of the various artists with true females in R&B, Soul, Neo-Soul and Rap/Hip-Hop. Man, Monica has that class. You can't deny on that!!
Please tell me there are more parts. I want to know how “All Eyez On Me” turned into “After The Storm” - I love this!
ooo me too!!
Word!!! I listened to it earlier this year, it was sample heavy and very urban.. I dug it..
Girl after the storm is my album
@@Niecy-mj2nf it was recorded when her boyfriend committed suicide and it was only released in Japan in 2002 it was revamped in 2003 when Monica wanted to get back into the studio they did it again.
@@Niecy-mj2nf same here.
Who's here after the verses Brandy and Monica. I love them even more
“Forever always “ that’s my song. A hidden gem 💎
Me toooooo!!!!!!
Came home at 12, with your hair cut & dyed?! And no beating?! Ooooh wee! Mama was a lil head of the whole alternative punishment thing cause when I combed the curls outta my head, I got my ass rocked! 🤣🤣🤣
My mama would've rocked my world, I couldn't even get a relaxer at that age🤣
Loved this.She's the Whitney Houston of my generation. My opinion is my opinion. I said what I said.😁Fan 4 Life.A rare musical gem.I would love to get my hands on her Japan tour performances.
There will never be another Whitney in any generation.
Before Monica's generation there was Shanice.
Even in Monicas generation there is Tamia, Deborah Cox, Brandy, Kelly price etc.
All gorgeous and uber talented
But nobody is comparable to Whitney.
Ever!
@@firouz4296 Agree
Whitney is probably the Whitney of your generation.
Yes, there will never be another Whitney.Whitney heavily praised Monica.I did say MY generation.
I swear me and my dad will dance to Like this and Like That at my wedding!!! Our forever Jam!!!
Who knew hair played such an important part in this career?
I don't think many of the youngsters coming out realize that they pay for the expenses when they sign these deals. Thanks for sharing your story. It is inspiring.
Much success to YOU...🤩
@Cindy Thompson
In this video, she shows that the company informed her that it wasn't a good business decision but what is right is that We Give Things POWER.
Especially back then plus she was JUST coming out establishing her look and since both from Atlanta and TLC was big before her I can see how Dallas didn’t want her to look like she was trying to copy TBoz signature short blond hair look. But now people change their hair so much especially with these wigs/lace fronts that I wouldn’t be surprised that now they’re pressured to CHANGE their hair/look a LOT moreso than then to stay relevant or to keep people’s interest cause people attention span is short asf now and not as loyal of fans as they used to be gotta keep people on their toes now 💯
Monica is so authentic. You can see it when she speaks and carries herself. ❤️
I applaud Mrs. Marilyn Best! for a job well done. It's such a blessing to have such an inspiration. I can only imagine how amazing she is as a mother because of who you are and what you stand for!❤🙏🏾
Monica is amazing from start until now!!!
Monica came out mature. Her speaking voice was always so grown up.💜 Great content Monica!
Monica is very inspiring with her unshakeable confidence
Love the relationship you have with your family 🙏😍🥰♥️
I’M SO TAKEN BACK AND SO REMEMBER BUYING THE CASSETTE TAPE OF MISS THANG❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yes Queen. Auntentic and talented. These shows better give her the flowers she deserves when the time come. Long career but still young so just keep on and keep slaying. 🤩🤩👑💐💐💐
U can live a peaceful life whn ur at peace wit ya self💯🔥🔥
Monica you are the best yet. Keep up your standards the Lord bless you continually. Keep trusting the Lord.
Literally My Favorite Artist. So Genuine, So Regal, So Unapologetic. There’s Only 1.
I use to play the shit out of that first album and had to keep buying it. Love me some Monica.😘😘😘
Young Monica - WITH YOU
Grown Monica - DOWN 4 WHATEVER 😉😊
Artists like Monica should be paid retroactive, best music ever. Sad today artists are getting paid millions n they music are not even half as good.
Damn Mo...can't believe its been 25 years!!! Miss Thang was my SHIT!! We ran that cd OUT in my house! I'm so happy I found this! Always wanted to know the story about how you came to be!
Chipper Jonessssss!!!! I loved him 💕 that’s when The Braves was fye 🔥‼️
Watching this was so nostalgic. It took me back. I'm the same age as Monica and I sang and wrote songs. She was so inspiring to me. Her, Usher, Brandy, and Aaliyah had albums out at the same time and I played them all until I couldn't anymore. This was really dope 👌
Monica we love you very much your East African sister from ethiopian /Canadian
I grew up with your music tooo
Your story is amazing Monica it wasn’t typical by any means and you survived it all !! to be in tune with your gift before you can even fully understand it at the young age of 12!! and to continue get better with time is a testimony in itself .you lived it,You learned from it, and you’re still here. Thank God for placing the right spirits in your life so you could have an opportunity to share your God given gift with the world 🙏🏾🙌🏾❤️
First time I’ve ever watched a whole RUclips video from beginning to end without pausing or stopping💕❤️❤️❤️❤️ love me some Monica
Monica you just don’t know!!! Pure amazing ❤️
Monica has always been mature and confident for age. Now I see it is because her family foundation and structure is extremely strong.
Such a nostalgic feeling watching Monica listening to the background music and hearing her speak. Love loved her since day one! Always new she special since Miss Thang came out and it was probably was the first tape I ever bought lol! I sang “Angel”at my 7th grade talent show😳
I use too wait until it comes on radio. So I can record it
Facts...lol taping over someone else's tape just to end up catching half the song😂😂😂all of Monica's music brings back the best memories and moments.mood to boo..lol didnt even know what she was talking about☺..#MissThangIsBigSis1995Est#LetsKeepItReal#DontTakeItPersonal#imSoGone✌Should of known better❤#QueenOfAtlanta#Checkmate😘STILL STANDING.
Omggggg yesssss🤣🤣🤣
Monica you have it The Voic,e the looks ,and the style, and guess what? you started out with the name just Monica super star.
Shout out to Monica's Mama for doing a great job. She seems like a very beautiful, personable, grounded person wise beyond her years. I would love to meet her one day soon.
Congratulations again Miss Thang!! I'm so proud of my ATL sister!! Even though I'm 45 now I looked up to you even back then! You knew who you were and very comfortable being you! Thank you for sharing your confidence with us other girls whom gained our confidence through you!! Blessings ❤🙏💯👑
Whew, Sis! At 12 years old, my mama wouldn't allow me to do anything to my hair. Wash, condition and simple lil' styles was all for me. You know what, Sis? You are all right w/ me. I love yo' personality. Part of my dad's side is from Hamilton, Georgia. The other part is from New York. I was born and raised in the Bay Area though. Anyway, I enjoyed this video through and through.
This is great. I feel like I have gotten a full, clear idea about who Monica is outside of her music and the relationships and it makes me happy that others now know that she is more than that.
Yay! They fixed it. Loving the series❤️
Her voice at that age is incomparable.
Always love ur voice and hairstyles continuing blessing and success Monica 🙏🏽💐👏🏼
Up load your tv show! Man I would love to watch your show again..
Yessss!
Pleeeeeeeze yes!!!!
One of the realest ogs in the game she is still the same , still look the same I just love her !!!
Monica was always my favorite. I fell in love with her and her voice when I saw the Before You Walk Out Of My Life video.
Too short!!! I love love her vibe and her attitude. Been a fan since day one! She can't do no wrong in my eyes. Great documentary Monica bravo👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🥰
I loved this! I have loved Monica since 1998 when I was 8 years old. She is still so classy, and her parents raised her well.
A true South Atlanta girl. Been following her since that first Album. ❤💛💚💙
Monica, you are a LEGEND! Take your roses 🌹 sis!
I love me some Monica I’m here for the second part of this
