- Don’t get it twisted! These ladies were no manufactured industry group. They came together the good old-fashioned way. They had the talent and the drive and, they knew it was only a matter of time before they made it big. However, even after they did make it big, the politics of music took them away from the stage and their fans. Let’s find out whatever happened to 90’s R&B trio MoKenStef.

I love that theyre still friends.
Yes!!!
Ikr
That's a fact. It was a few years ago that I'm like that's their name?!,🤣
That part!!!!
He's mine, was the cheated on girls anthem.
@@momoiida5505 you are making my point even more clear. 👌
We need more songs like this
It was actually more the side chick anthem.
“He’s Mine” is the delusional main chick anthem.
😁😂😜 It is
Unfortunately 😩
😆🤣😂😹😆
Lol right tho!!
But a damn fine one too
He’s Mine has such a trash message but the song is soooo good 😅
That was the first thing I thought about when this video popped up. LOL
It’s the beat and the production that’s really good but the lyrics/message is horrible 😂😂
@@Ilovechicago100 seriously lol It comes on at my job every day and every day I jam to it and shake my head at the same time 😂 but it’s ok because there are plenty of trash songs that I like made by men, so they should be no different
And now SZA came out with "The Weekend" lol. It's a lot of people that can relate to these types of lyrics haha.
I agree with you about the message of the song; but it's on my playlist as well lol. 😝
I love how they formed their name.. and still remain friends.
They all look great! But Kenya looks like she's in her 20's
I was just about to say that. Bonkers.
She literally aged backwards!
Damn straight!!!
@Locust Queen she's Fabulous
She’s the only hottie and my GOODNESS.
Not “teased with a January 2017 photo in a studio”
*stares in 2021* 🙇🏾♂️
And now in 2023!
Yooooo! I’m not gonna lie. I totally forgot about MoKenSteff. I’m in my 50’s and have lost some of my gifts of remembrance. I love this channel. And I most definitely love the narrator. Her voice and the way she speaks is beyond beautiful and adorable.
Me to
I agree this channel is nostalgic for me too. Im in my 40’s.
He's Mine video was on heavy rotation on MTV, BET and The Box!!
Sure was
He's Mine by Mokenstef is still a bop!
Yes yes
Heck yeah
Let’s Get To The Root up to 30k she does her thing when it comes to old time favorites, music we grew up off of music that made sense. He’s mine is my jam.
Thank you so much for the support!
@@JuicyPopEntertainment very welcome keep up the good work 🥰.
@@JuicyPopEntertainment We also really appreciate that you keep it focused on facts and not getting into any gossip. Authenticity >>>
Their album "Azz Izz" is a wonderful album and if theirs anyone on here who hasn't heard it, go listen to it! "Sex In The Rain" is definitely my favorite from them 💯❤️
Mine too
I used to like "Sex In The Rain" also, They should've had more hits. I thought they were a good group.
💯
Yassssss Sex In The Rain was my joint
Their remake of Smokey Robinson's 'Baby Come Close' was 🔥🔥🔥
“Youuuuuuuu can’t sleeeeep at nighhhhhhht” 🎶 🎵 this channel brings IT! You really give the people what we want!!!!!!!!!
Would you please consider covering the R&B group Shai (if I ever fall in love)?
Now you're talkin!!! Shai is the only group vocally that gave Boyz 2 Men a run for their money.
She has covered them
Yes
Can you do a video on the following groups:
Isyss
Allure
Shades
KutKlose
RichGirl
Yes
Kut Klose...yasssssss!!!!
They did one on Allure already...!! Just type in Let get to the Root: Allure it should come up.
@@dashiajames1882 Found it... thanks!
Yes!!!
You should do a video on whatever happened to All 4 One!!! They were huge in the 90s then we never heard from them again.
They still perform on those 90's nostalgic tours and the county fair circuit.
Yes
@@MsKim510 true. I seen them in Stockton years ago
They did a concert in my hometown with vanilla ice i didn’t buy tickets
He’s mine is still in rotation in 2021. Beautiful ladies!! Thanks for the video
KP & Envy needs to be done too. They were like the Floetry of the early 90s.
Yes!
They only came out with that one hit song.
@@sarahsimpkins1311 shorty swing my way got tew murch airplay
@@suzycarmichael933 yes i know that back in 98
They were never a group. They met either the day of or the day the video & recorded the song separately in the studio for a mutual friend that produced the song. After they did slow R&B remix to the song, they continued on their separate ways. I don’t know about KP but Envyi goes by Sioux Lane was on Sundays Best to compete & put some music out in 2009.
He's mineee ya may have had em once but I got em all the timeeeee...🤣 thanks for the update on these ladies! I used to think it was a solo artist.
‘Sex in the Rain’ is one of the best R&B songs of the 90s. Pure baby-making magic!
Yes yes!
OMGAAAAAH that's my sooooong till this day to get me going 😂🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
That song banging.
Yep. I made 7 of my kids to that tune deadass lol.
Baby come close remake is fire
I got a autograph and a tongue kiss from Stephanie 😁 I'll never forget her or our convo... "yall famous and making big money huh" she said "famous maybe, but big money, I don't know about all that, I don't wanna talk about all that"
I had this on CD single... Smh when I got older I was like I can't play this anymore lol.. It was the jam back in the day tho
That’s because the records weren’t timeless
I still have "He's Mine" on a CD called Monsta Jamz which is a combination of songs from different 90s artists
I miss the 90s!!!!!
Mokensteph was the most underrated!!!
I didn't remember who they were until I heard "He's mine" Very talented ladies. GOD bless 🙏🏽❤
That whole azz izz album was my jam...i still listen to it from time to time...id also like to know what happened to gurl group 7669..maybe thats too obscure for most but as a kid video vibrations on BET used to introduce me to all kinds of non mainstream artists
And video souls with donnie simpson
7669 "East From A Bad Block" album
Do updates on Mona Lisa (Can't Be Wasting My Time), Shae Jones (Talk Show Shhhh), KP & Envy (Shorty Swing My Way), and Zhane! ❤️
Love Mona Lisa and wow, I forgot about Shaw Jones. I really liked her. I have her music.
Rapper Domino was also on Outburst Records too you gotta do a story on him he had songs like Getto Jam, Sweet Potato Pie and Long Beach Thing
Yes yes I was just thinking about him today because he's on my west coast play list
Omd I forgot about him!!- him and Ahmad (back in the days)
Team MoKenStef. Their song was red pill before Red Pill was a thing. Still playing this in 2024. Thanks for the background on them.
Thanks for doing a video on this group, they were unjustly underrated and their CD was amazing.
What a name! 😳
Never heard of them, I love your videos so I’ll check it out anyway.
Love there song he’s mine. That’s a bop
*their* ,not there. 😂🤣
Literally earlier today I said why didn’t anyone make a Mokenstef video and this popped up shortly after! I’m siced!
Kenya still looks like she’s in her 20’s.
I love He’s Mine and I still play it singing all the lyrics extra loud knowing it’s a horrid message lol
Love your videos!!! A Stacie Orrico video please!!!! 🙏🏽
Stay tuned! 😉
@@JuicyPopEntertainment Sure!!! Thank you so much!!!
Wow, I had no idea He’s Mine & Knockin The Boots correlated until you said it! Can you do a video on H-Town?! I loved them especially Dino, rest his soul 💜
They still should be getting booked off that song but "i wouldnt waste my time telling you some" 🎶🎶😂😂😂
I’m glad for this video I miss this group wish they could of put out another album
Can you do a video on the 90s group Divine. They had a hit called Latley.
I was just thinking I hope you do a video on them 🤗
Thank you, love your channel ❤
This song on my playlist, still a great song
Much respect for Big Daddy Kane he was out giving out opportunities. He had Jay- tour with him and was trying to give him jobs to keep him off the street, gave MoKenstef the opportunity to show off their dancing skills.
Oh wow I remember that song "He's mine." Wasn't my favorite but forgot the name of the group. I love your channel ❤ !!
Please do Mister 🙏🏾
Oh..U mean MISTA (wit a Young Bobby Valentino) "Blackberry Molasses" & "Groove With You"
@@chancest.thomas5160 yeah them 😂😂😂 I spelled it wrong
Can you do Jay Sean? Only song I even remember him for was Down with Lil Wayne. Never remember his career taking off since then. 😶
I luvvvv that song. You should hear his other song " Ride it " beat sounds like some Moroccan beat.
Yessss love their song Hes mine!!!😍🙌🏼
I remember when they performed on the show All That.
Love your channel and was wondering if you could do a whatever happened to on. R&B latin singer Veronica, Color Me Badd, Yvette Michelle
Watching this made me remember that I used to have their cassette tape single of He's Mine, and was thinking that it had some type of colorful flowers on it so I looked it up and Yes!, The tape cover has the colorful flowers in the foreground with the three of them in the background.
It's crazy how I can have my memory jogged and remember things from 1995 but I can't remember what I ate for lunch the other day!🤦🏾♀️😂
Next: Next Big Daddy Kane 112 Solo Trin I Tee. Good video as usual.
We also need a story on rapper Chino XL
I subscribed and clicked in a milisecond! *singing He's Mine*
Please do KUT KLOSE soon!
Thanks for the info. I haven't heard from Mokenstef since 3rd grade (Now, I'm 35). One my cousins had their debut album and warped that cassette out.
You was not in kindergarten in 95’ lol I was in the first grade in 95’ and I’m 31 now
@@latoyawatts168 Oh wait minute, my bad, Lol! 😅😂😄😃😀 my phone tripped me on. I was suppose to put 3rd grade. Thanks for the error I didn't realize that.
Yesss he’s mines such a classic the trios had the it factory to go far in their career it’s jus crazy how a lot of girl groups ship sinks🤷🏽♀️
Can you please tell me what happened to the boy band ATL 😔 they dropped that one fire album and then left
🥰🥰 I also wonder what happened to y?n vee 🤔
Oooh das a good 1...i would love to know that as well...im so 90s i still listen to that album
I loved that group!🔥🔥
me too
Yesss!!!! I would love a video on them.
I still like their music ❤
they was friends from the start and they was friends to the end getting involve with the music industry is a serious thing once you sign that contract and drop that album and then get paid all hell can break loose or you can continue to make music and get paid. but a lot of people take advantage of a lot of people during the 90's and i believe it's still going down today.
Kut Klose next please
HEY! CAN YOU DO A STORY ON THE RAPPER SMOOTH?
Please do Mona Lisa, and Shae Jones!
Mona Lisa went bacc 2 School. Came bacc out & sang da Hook on Cam'ron's Jam "Girls" Then vanished again.
Do one on Jade they sing Don’t Walk Away
I wanna know what happened to them to. " Don't walk away " is only song I've heard of theirs. But I luvv that song...!!
@@dashiajames1882 they had plenty of songs but yep “Don’t Walk Away” is by far the only song they will best be remembered.
they could sing, that's for sure! only they lacked that one X-Factor!
I use to love that song but I knew they were a one hit wonder. I never heard the other two songs before.
I only heard the second song twice
@Essential Oils well damn
@@sarahsimpkins1311
Stop bitchinh coz man dem used you as a one hit wonder
Kenya looks so damn good after all these years. You can tell shes taken great care of herself and of course...good Black dont crack baby!
Lmao tell me why I was eating and almost choked at the Denzel gif. You so PETTY! 🤣🤣🤣 the TIMING 😫🤣🤣🤣
I knew who they were because of the box and they was on all that singing he’s mine remix.
I clicked soooo fast!
Beautiful black queens looking good, happy and healthy!!!
I'm convinced Kenya is a vampire. She literally did not age
Have you done a video on girl group Cherish? They were good.
If you watch Empressive channel she has a video on Cherish. Just type in Empressive: Cherish should come up..!! My top fave song is " Do it "..!!
I hope the Stacie Orrico story comes soon!
"Sex In The Rain" their 2nd Single should have went "Gold" or Platinum":(.. They had a nice debut album ❤️❤️❤️❤️
They are so pretty and talented
Loved their hit, hated their group name
I was obsessed w/ both versions of _He's Mine,_ but I also loved _Sex in the Rain._ The remix w/ Montell Jordan is ill too. Don't remember if I enjoyed they full LP, but those records are more than enough for me. _He's Mine_ was my jam in elementary school. Imagine hearing somebody sing that in a high Whitney Houston key. Just hella obnoxious wit it. I think I sounded good though.😜 WOW, back in the days of variety: En Vogue, Xscape, TLC, Jade, Brownstone, SWV, Total, etcetera.
I was just watching their Sex In the Rain video last night! I'm sad I can’t purchase that single
Do one on Rome...I belong to you I belong 🎵🎶
Because of this 📷 I now know what happened to them. Never knew they had other 🎯 singles. The "industry" never gave a F--K about promoting them. I guess it was best for them to not continue on making more 🎵. Who know what could happen to them if they stayed for another 5-10 years! Glad that they ventured off doing other projects.
I love “He’s Mine” and “Sex in the Rain”. Amazing songs! We need to hear this missing album.
An underrated group of the 90s along with Brownstone.
It's a shame that they didn't get more hits. Smh
Can we do a video about how puffy buy then destroy artist that signs with him careers
Yes, Please!
Please do a video on imajin and all 4 one
I STILL Bump dat album...on C.D.
Neva knew They were backup dancers til awhile Ago.
2:55 Delusional Side Chick Anthem of '95!!!!
Can you do one for Drama they were signed to Gerald Levert label.
I just found and bought their debut CD a few months ago at a Bookoff store also the Phat Beach soundtrack.
I loved this group. young girl singing my butt off about this adult situation 😊. never knew their group name was created from their name. creative dope name. Unsung where are you.
I know me too 😅
@@camilliaharris9156 Girl, my Dad would be in the car looking at my through the mirror as I sang every word. Now older, I assume he was thinking... Don't be one of those girls and settle for that mess. Lol
Thank you so much for this!
I was born in the 80's and have literally never heard of these ladies until now. Lol.
Whaaaaat?!!
You probaby heard the song before you just didnt know who they were because they play the hell out of this song on the Radio back in 1995.
Or you must didnt watch B.E.T
All i know i was 15 when it came out.
All of them was truly talented
I love the album Azz Izz. I think it’s severely underrated.
He's mine # 1 hit. They should be on Tvone unsung
Can we get a Tinashe one??
Ig therealmokenstef....I don't think nobody else is using yall name🤣🤣🤣
Thanks loved this
Kenya is very beautiful🥰
Yes she is very beautiful.
You is too 💯
I use to love this song I feel so old lol
