We lost James Mtume in 2022 but we still have this classic jam to remember him by you can't even listen to Biggie without hearing Juicy Fruit behind his lyrics
It's Pronounced M-Too-May Queen lol this had 1983 on fire 🔥 💯💯 James Mtume (R.I.P) Formed The Group and That's Tawatha Agee on Lead Vocals she's from Luther Vandross Camp Of infamous background Singers that included Lisa Fischer and many others
The Greatest Music Ever Created Earth!! This is another reason why I fail so deeply in love with the music my older relatives played and what was being played on WGCI, WBMX, WVON and other black radio stations in Chicago! I had their greatest Hits! Another one of those all-time great R&B/Souls songs and groups!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
If it wasn't for the original artist/ old schoolers, the today's artists would be bankrupt and out of business. But generic copycats do serve a purpose...They keep the old school music alive. Thanks to ALL the music scavengers.
P.S., and I bet you that the original artists, or their surviving family NEVER received a dime of the residuals that was made off the original artist's music. (Maybe a few). Now we are going back to 1979 to 'Rapper's Dee Lite' by Grand Master Flash and Curtis Blow....Receipts please.
You definitely picked one of my favorites with this one... Mtume was hot back then... Listening to this, and being on the production side of music now, I hear so many lil ear candies in this song....wow....Great review!!
Respect and RIP to James Mtume (January 3, 1946 - January 9, 2022). Founder of Mtume, musician, songwriter, record producer, activist, and radio personality. If you get a chance, please review another of James Mtume's compositions, 'The Closer I Get To You' by Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway. #respect
Ashley, you probably don't know that this song started a fashion trend of women wearing elastic shorts with the word JUICY written across the back. Fifteen years later, those same women were wearing the same stretched out shorts. However, you could see the J or the Y. Those letters were now on the side. The back read U I C.
It’s hard to believe that this baby girl only just hearing this for the first time. I feel old now. I must be old enough to be her pops. I was 13 when it first came out 😢
I remember as a little girl, I was walking down the hallway in my house, and I was singing this song, and I said I’ll be your lollipop You can lick me everywhere, and before I finish the word everywhere, my auntie was tearing my lips up smacking me all in my mouth asking me what the hell you singing? Lol
I was pregnant when this song was out and sang that part and my Mom, who was was NOT comfortable talking about seks, said "maybe if you would've listened to her, you wouldn't be in your condition." 😮😂🤣😊💛
"King Osirus" ("You")->Can Be My Loli Pop,! 'You Can Lick Me Everywhere? ->(Your) My Sugar Thang! -> My Chocolate Star? ->(Candy Rain Coming Down) 'ooh Baby, ->I Like It In The Morning. (YES)
The Genius of the LEGENDARY Iconic Mr James Mtume 💯
MTUME---You, Me and He
YES!
Yesssssss 🔥🔥🔥🔥
That was my jam! Doesn’t get enough credit

To think that Luther was also once backup. Some backups are better than the leads. 😅
Lead vocalist is the great Tawatha Agee. 👍👍😊😊
Another fine example of why older people say todays music sucks
Well said...
There is no comparison..
I was a junior in High school 1983 bumping this in my low rider 77 Monte Carlo.
Yes,this was the jam! They have another one called, ‘Sugar Free’ great reaction as always!😅
Nope, not Mtume.

People confuse Mtume with another duo, Juicy, who sang "Sugar Free." Juicy is a group, "Juicy Fruit" is a song by Mtume.
Yeah. That is an important distinction that needs to be made.
🤗
1983
Brings so many memories Good times
This was the Jam!!

🧡 Yes, as a pre-teen I thought they were actually talking about the gum. That was my favorite gum, LOL
Same. Had no clue what I was singing lol
Lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
...songwriting is *definitely* a delicately nuanced skill.
Yep, Grown Folk Music great reaction.
This was a HIT back when it came out. I LOVED this song and everyone went on the dance floor when it played in the club. :)
Another 80's banger that has withheld the test of time- Actually pronounced "em-tu-may"
Your reactions.give me life😂

👍
WELL said - on so many levels!

U good about saying us old folks are nasty...it has rubbed off on you too...Leave the lollipop reference alone😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😆
Your reaction hit it on the head. This is a wonderful song.
I was living in Manhattan when this was released.
That's a beautiful combination, Ashley.
I was 11 and in the 6th grade when this dropped. This and Between The Sheets album by the Isley Brothers came out at the same time.
The extended version has a great instrumental in the beginning!
You tell that to your husband if you want! Don’t be surprised when he gets excited and snatches your soul lol
Classic…. Sampled by the late great B.I.G. Checkout “U, Me & He” another classic
You definitely picked one of my favorites with this one... Mtume was hot back then... Listening to this, and being on the production side of music now, I hear so many lil ear candies in this song....wow....Great review!!
You gotta react to more Mtume! Also, I love the S.O.S Band. Very similar vibe
Great song, great reaction!
I swear almost every song you react to is on one if my Playlists. Check out Sugar-free by Juicy, a group produced by Mtume.
"YUH ALSO NEED TO LISTEN TO "WOULD YOU LIKE" BY THEM ASWELL 🎵🎶🎵🎵🎵🎵🎶🎵
I was 21 when this classic came out. My nephew who is 16 yrs younger than me heard the original after being a big Biggie fan. He loved it💖💖💖💖💖
This is a classic.
Classic.... both the original and when Biggie sampled it.. fire

Just want to say it’s a joy watching you
Marvin Sease - Candy Licker
This is a cut! Teddy riley also produced a record with the sample for wrecks n effect 2 years before Biggie version.
Tawatha Agee is very underated.
I don't think it was a better year in my life than 1983. Well, maybe 1984.
Ashley, you probably don't know that this song started a fashion trend of women wearing elastic shorts with the word JUICY written across the back.

It’s hard to believe that this baby girl only just hearing this for the first time. I feel old now. I must be old enough to be her pops. I was 13 when it first came out 😢
I didn't appreciate this song back in the day. The vocals are so juicy. I miss this music.
I remember as a little girl, I was walking down the hallway in my house, and I was singing this song, and I said I’ll be your lollipop You can lick me everywhere, and before I finish the word everywhere, my auntie was tearing my lips up smacking me all in my mouth asking me what the hell you singing?

You, me and he. U got to hear that song by them.
This hit hard when I was a newlywed! 😉 #ATimeWasHad #GoodMusic #WhatUpDoe
Please listen to Chante Moore I'm What You Need and Teddy Pendergrass Close the Day
My grandma had this 45. I stole it.😂😂
Good reaction! ✌️😎
😂😂😂😂😂you got the best reactions
I remember when this first came out i believe i was in Jr High
This is a classic but I prefer "You, Me, and He" by them
Girl, this is the original and has been sampled, plenty.
My parents told me as an adult this was my Jam as a child
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
