I always feel like it was wasted talent. Lil Mama had the ingredients to be big. But it goes to show you. One false move can cost you everything in life. No matter how well you built yourself up. Just felt like Jay could have played along with it and then pulled her to the side and scolded her. I don't know
What makes me sad about Lil Mama is that she was (is) actually talented as f**k… Can actually rap, dance… it was crazy how everyone was banging on the table singing “what you know bout me” when she came out… I remember when she released that A Milli freestyle. She had one of the better A Milli freestyles of that..
Hated that song. Jay actually copied Nas again. Nas already made a song with Alicia Keys called New York State of Mind with Rakim. Jay has always copied people's wave. Just like Drake.
@@MackTatum I wouldn’t say him because his peak was high. Hammer had a Saturday morning cartoon! He had a harder fall off, because his height was so high
Her music has to do that and it just doesn't... She can sing good asf low key. I wish she'd just stay consistent and hot so that we can have more to talk about than that moment
@PancakeDiaries facts... I was in high school when lip gloss came out, and tbh that dumb ass song was a straight bop. I'm not a fan per say but I never thought she was "wack".
@@StanleyMalbroughRoninHD I never thought she was nice like that but I just checked those tracks that this video said she dropped... She cooked everything but the views reflect the public disinterest. Damn, artist need to just do it for the love sometimes. The career part makes it a job and those are no fun
💯, should've let her shine, shocked more ppl from the NYC werent on stage with them. Could've been like she's next up, put her and a couple of other younger cats on the remix. Jay was too big not to reach back and bring that lil girl and others up who was obviously a fan with them. What happens to respect for having guts to be bold. In the 80 or 90s that would've gotten someone on or in a better position, 2010s was bad business, such a cornball era. Let that would've been RunDMc or somebody back in the day with a female R n B artist they wouldn't have canceled or let this young artist career stall, dude was in a position to put her in a position, and he dropped the ball. Wonder why the NYCers say NYC music is trash because ppl in NYC weren't helping them get on like that, it's a shame. Oh well what can you do.
Never liked her music. it sounded corny af. But that Jay Z and Alicia Keys bs really did it for me. OMFG the audacity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just imagine if 50 Cent did that to Hov when 50 had the How To Rob song out. 50 wouldve been finished before he started. It was pathetic af
With all the weird, creepy, and evil stuff powerful people in the industry get up to, there is no reason Lil Mama should have been canceled for something so petty.
She can try to justify it how she wants but that stage crash was super disrespectful and inconsiderate. Its not even the point that it was Jay Z and Alicia Keys (though that obviously doesn't help), its the fact that those sets take hours and hours of rehearsal, preparation, choreography, back up singers and all the behind the scenes work from the people who aren't even seen to make the sets go as best as possible. Only for Lil Mama of all people to come along and just inject herself in during the live performance without a care in the world or a thought to her fellow performing artists time and effort put into their craft.
They should've embraced her and schooled her on the game instead of treating her & destruction of her career. Jay & Alicia, you shall reap what you sow. Trust it
She earned her humbling in that moment. And even after the repercussions, she still didn't seem to accept that what she did was wrong. That said, everyone deserves second chances. And knowing what I know now; it could've been the protection she needed to keep her away from being invited to Diddy parties. She was definitely on her way to really crossong over at that point.
NEVER liked that New York song either...and I roll my eyes to the back of my head when people sing that song to rep NYC....I rather hear Frank Sinatra or Ja Rule NY tribute songs...
I am so sick and tired of these Lil Mama videos...Over a "stage crash''? MEANWHILE 'UGLY RED" just crashed the stage and started twerking during a country performance and it got glorified...the main reason why Lil Mama got so much disrespect is because similar to what u stated in the beginning of your video, she was moreso for the 80's and 90's era where her style of music was more accepted..she refused to glorify sex and adult content in her music and that didnt fit ''the agenda''...Lil wayne was supposed to be her mentor, but ther sent him Nicki Minaj to help invalidate her instead...The stage crash was just a RED HERRING...
Now in Lil Mama defense we didn’t know she was only 18/19, and it was SOOOOOO much other shit that happened at that VMAs so for social media to highlight it like it was the only thing that happened is crazy and most of if not all of us are guilty for making jokes about it but damn if we had context that she was that young I don’t think we would have cuz it’s alot of nut shit 2016 XXL Freshman list(and beyond) at 18/19
So uh yeah, yeezy dropped one of the best albums of his entire discography after losing his mother. Let that sink in! 3rd growth stunt should've definitely been the breakfast club interview, nail in the coffin if you will 🤣🤣🤣
Even to this day, i felt she shouldn't had done it. In life, you have to know the right time to do things. She misread her time. Lil Mama had simething special. But at the same time, Jay could have givem her a break. Man, that guy is a narcissist for real. Like couldn't just pull her to the side after it all and school her on game? Just feel like there was so much talent wasted here.
Lil Mama made that performance imo! It would’ve been forgotten if she didn’t jump on stage. Some artists have done way worse and still have a platform and relevancy. She made a mistake, got clowned, and now people should move on
I hope she has moved on from that ideology. Gender and sexuality is so much more complex than the confines we try to box it in. It’s 2024! Time to leave that dead energy at the door.
Kanye kept releasing 🔥 music... Lil Mama already took too long to drop her debut album after releasing Lip Gloss, No Music, and they school bus song... Then a long break with the Jay incident... She wasn't punished by the fans or media as much as by her own self. She's not a fire rapper to me but her music is digestible. Sausage was a dope record and caught steam but her the drama attached that killed that buzz. I wish she'd sing instead of rap; I love her singing voice
Agreed. I remember that night. That was insane. He hijacked it. At least Lil Mama just went on the stage and kicked it. Kanye grabbed the mic from.her and said what he said
She’s actually aged gracefully into the acting world. Remember she played left eye in the TLC movie, that movie with lance gross and I think another movie she was in I liked.
She’s a true triple threat I’m glad she was able to showcase it,after the VMA awards incident I’m definitely a fan of her work,she’s resilient plus persevered over so much,especially losing her mother while trying to breakout as a star, the light may have dimmed but she’s not fading away anytime soon….. 2006 you had LIL MAMA,YUNG B,TEYANA TAYLOR storming the rap and hip hop scene in NY… That summer of 06-07 is classic behind LIP GLOSS,CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP, BOY YOU AND ME….
I actually had high hopes for Lil Mama in highschool. But that VMA really put a nail in the ⚰ for her music career; though she did a great job playing Left Eye in that TLC movie for VH1.
The punishment never fit the crime. I never understood why she received that much hate. To be labeled for the rest of your life for one mistake that wasn’t that serious…😒
The Lil Mama incident happened on the same night in which Kanye West interrupted Taylor Swift's award acceptance speech. I wouldn't be surprised if she was inspired by what Ye did that night. As an artist herself, she should understand that music artists do a lot of rehearsing in preparation for their performances. They do not prepare for people coming on stage for no reason.
I saw that MTV show I really thought she was a surprised guest going on the stage rap or song or dance or something. I later realize she wasn't supposed to go. I wonder why security let her go up there without stopping her. That tell me if she can do it that means anyone can go up the stage
Lil Mama is from the era where artist have one or a couple songs takeoff. Then they fall off the face of the earth. I can't remember the last time I heard a lil mama song
What could Lil Mama career had been if not for the stage crash?
Please do one on Arrested Development
She was also a stellar dancer. Sky was the limit.
Do you think that really ruined her career tho or was she just mid?
She was weak to mid at best
Ironically we remember her music career more for the stage invasion and CTG interview than any of her actual endeavours
Can we get one on South Central Cartel
lil mama is STUNNING...quite the job she did playing left eye also..
Yeah JC should’ve mentioned that
She had to be buzzed out of her mind to jump on stage like that😂😅
Man put aside that MTV Awards show, she could dance, rap, sing, act, and she's beautiful. She should've blown up bigger than she did.
and can actually sing as well.
I always feel like it was wasted talent. Lil Mama had the ingredients to be big. But it goes to show you. One false move can cost you everything in life. No matter how well you built yourself up. Just felt like Jay could have played along with it and then pulled her to the side and scolded her. I don't know
She made their lackluster performance more memorable ❤
Gotta do Charli Baltimore next
HELL YEAH! THIS IS THE ONE
Na more of plies Jim Jones maino Gwen Stefani meek mill
Marky mark Phil knights son Tyga young money cash money
Beenie segal eve lil Kim foxy brown maybe aliyah bobby brown tony yayo Olivia Vybz Kartel
Yes all of them
What makes me sad about Lil Mama is that she was (is) actually talented as f**k…
Can actually rap, dance… it was crazy how everyone was banging on the table singing “what you know bout me” when she came out…
I remember when she released that A Milli freestyle. She had one of the better A Milli freestyles of that..
Lil Mama is another definition of STUNTED GROWTH.
I'm with you on hating that "New York State Of Mind" song.
Hated that song. Jay actually copied Nas again. Nas already made a song with Alicia Keys called New York State of Mind with Rakim. Jay has always copied people's wave. Just like Drake.
NEVER liked it either..
@TheDumontShow This is why I have always said that Nas stans have a tendency to be dishonest about certain things.
Lil Mama should be poster child for this page because her career is the epitome of Stunted Growth
Nahh I still say that M.C. Hammer is.
@@MackTatum I wouldn’t say him because his peak was high. Hammer had a Saturday morning cartoon! He had a harder fall off, because his height was so high
Definitely understand that when losing a loved one, you lose focus but I don't fault the label cause putting the album off would lose the momentum
When she hopped up there I was "cringing" before I knew of that word!😂
You never heard of the word cringe before that? Lol
The look on Beyonce's face as Lil Mama tried to drag her onto the stage with her.
Crazy this performance crash is talk about more than her career.
Talk more even more than Kanye West crashing Taylor Swift speech 😂
And that happened the same fucking night!!!
I wish people would let her out of the shadow of that mistake.
I feel the same way
Her music has to do that and it just doesn't... She can sing good asf low key. I wish she'd just stay consistent and hot so that we can have more to talk about than that moment

No one really cares, but the internet
StuntedGrowthMusic, This made me laugh so much! Thanks for sharing!
Lil Mama bounced back with acting. She did her thing as Left Eye in Crazy, Sexy, Cool The TLC Story. You should do Ms. Jade next.
Can you do Sole’ please?
It’s weak how they did her but no one will admit it. Str8 bs
💯, should've let her shine, shocked more ppl from the NYC werent on stage with them. Could've been like she's next up, put her and a couple of other younger cats on the remix.

😂
Girl/boy bye.
Jay and Alicia Are Corny Anyway….
That stage crash was crazy. And Beyonce tried to stop her.
SMG Latoya Williams or Doggy Angels 🙏🏿!
You should do R&B singer “Rome” next that dude dropped one classic album and a smash song “I belong to you” then just disappeared
Losing your mom will stunt any growth and sometimes you don't want to continue that rout.
Never liked her music. it sounded corny af. But that Jay Z and Alicia Keys bs really did it for me. OMFG the audacity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just imagine if 50 Cent did that to Hov when 50 had the How To Rob song out. 50 wouldve been finished before he started. It was pathetic af
She's a better actor than a rapper.
I totally agree! The true story movie she did about the stripper and the movie where she was scamming the welfare system was actually pretty good!
@@starlettawilliams93that was tammi roman..she played in love kills
Little mama cool she ain't did nothing to nobody what's the difference between her n sexy red?
Depressing, just plain depressing
With all the weird, creepy, and evil stuff powerful people in the industry get up to, there is no reason Lil Mama should have been canceled for something so petty.
She crossed Jay-Z who is apart of/friends with the elite. He can influence any artists' careers to be cancelled
Can you do 90s RnB group Hi Five? they have an interesting story
tony Thompson departure was one of that stunted growth
The breakfast club crew definitely was stunted growth cause how they mocking taunting and destroying her image and look out to the public
Also, can you please do videos on Mya, Azealia Banks, Alicia Keys, Brian McKnight, Boyz II Men and Will Smith
Her stage crash aside, TBC didn’t have to be ass*holes to her like they were. It really wasn’t that funny. 😑
Lil Mama is a better actress than being a rapper. She played Left Eye in the TLC movie.
She can try to justify it how she wants but that stage crash was super disrespectful and inconsiderate. Its not even the point that it was Jay Z and Alicia Keys (though that obviously doesn't help), its the fact that those sets take hours and hours of rehearsal, preparation, choreography, back up singers and all the behind the scenes work from the people who aren't even seen to make the sets go as best as possible.

They should've embraced her and schooled her on the game instead of treating her & destruction of her career. Jay & Alicia, you shall reap what you sow. Trust it
She can pass to be Lil Bow Wow’s sister. They look like they are related!
She had soooooo many amazing acting roles on BET and BET HER ...Like sooooo many
And yet 50 cent crashed a Jay Z ti and Kanye set. No backlash at all
Because HE'S huge himself!...he's their equal. Her hopping up there is like "dude from down the block" hopping up there😂
He was apart of it
it's 50, lol...
He was part of the show dude
CAN YOU PLEASE DO EL-P FROM RUN THE JEWELS FORMER GROUP "COMPANY FLOW", PLEASE!!!!????!!!???!
What Was Lil.Mamma Thinking😌...He'll,Even Beyonce'💃Tried to Stop Her.😞

And knowing what I know now; it could've been the protection she needed to keep her away from being invited to Diddy parties. She was definitely on her way to really crossong over at that point.
As someone who personally knows this young lady. Til this day she is arrogant and delusional. These are facts 💯

In 2024, lil mama and the stage crash would’ve been received differently because Alicia would have to say she “supports women”
Jay and Alicia should’ve embraced her, she from NY
So uh yeah, yeezy dropped one of the best albums of his entire discography after losing his mother. Let that sink in! 3rd growth stunt should've definitely been the breakfast club interview, nail in the coffin if you will 🤣🤣🤣
9:50 false.. RCA had ASAP i believe.. that coulda helped her to get a rocky feature

Wow. I really wish things turned out better for her. Even I was rocking with the song lip gloss 😂
She would have bn bigger dan all dis female rappers if not for dat mistake
Lil Mama made that performance imo! It would’ve been forgotten if she didn’t jump on stage. Some artists have done way worse and still have a platform and relevancy. She made a mistake, got clowned, and now people should move on
Also, she killed one of her biggest support groups, which was the gay community
How? I'm unfamiliar with it.
@@ElmoKnowsWhereYouLive5150 she went on rant about the gay/trans community
Right, the dookie dippers, gender twisters cain't take a critique. @ciag1988
@ciag1988 I just looked it up, found a video about it. Thanks.
I hope she has moved on from that ideology. Gender and sexuality is so much more complex than the confines we try to box it in. It’s 2024! Time to leave that dead energy at the door.
This person never had anything to begin with. What was stunted? Never had any growth
Jz and Alicia keys was wrong for how they did lil mama
Tbh the only reason anyone remembers that performance is because of lil mama
Been asking for thsi for years.....
You gotta talk about Jennifer lopez
Stage crash gang
Les be honest all little mama did was walk on stage other than that she was lit one mistake. Jay Z and Alicia Keys lololololo what an era .
What happened to the single Des'ree?
Ak'sent stunted growth
Who cares if she got on stage. It wasn't that serious
stunted tf outta her growth
Do one on Sun N.Y. or Anthony Hamilton
Can we get a Pastor Troy video?
Yes she was wrong but the punishment don't fit the crime if you wanna be real what kanye did to Tayler that night was worse
