You gotta think of all the albums that dropped in 96. That was pretty stacked for ladies R&B. I’m not saying she’s got overshadowed. But it was a stacked year.
It’s time we 4k 5k HD ALL of Mona Lisa’s Music Videos and stage performances. Clearer definition would be greatly appreciated. She’s deserves her flowers 🌺
Mona Lisa was competing against Brandy, Monica and Aaliyah at that time...so we know how that went. I loved her album then I played her stuff all the time. A real talent
90's R&B was very influenced by 70's music. This makes since because the teens of the 90's would have heard nothing but 70's music from there parents. That being said 90's R&B singers used heavy rap beats for there production creating there own style.
She was soo talented, somebody please find her and get her to do an episode of Unsung on TV One 😫, I really want to know more about her life and what happened to her .
Ahhhhhhh....1996, such a beautiful time to be young and living in N.Y. (even though it was Giuliani Time)- pre 9/11 and before the influx of nouveau riche cornballs invaded the city. This song had a special significance to me due to both the Lox and Mona being from Yonkers, which incidentally, is my hometown as well- and I was acquainted with both. Good memories and good times!
Yo who remember when they played these songs on regular tv back in the day on the channel called..."The Box"? I used to record it on my VCR, rewinding it playing songs like these over and over like I was in the music video lol
1000 thumbs up... I had plenty of vhs with recorded videos, Apollo shows, TV shows, e' thing, ricki lake.. I didn't fk wit that Jerry springer sht tho... I knew those weirdos he had on there was propaganda.. fast forward to what we have on social media/ cyberspace
Yeah R&B and rap aren’t blending anymore. Even some of the R&B singers are becoming more rap focused. They should bring back the balance of rappers & R&B singers. It goes together so well…they have segregated themselves.
I still dance the way Mona is dancing at the 3:24 mark. Call me old if you want too. Nothing like dancing with a dude you like face to face smiling and laughing.
This sound is like that good seasoning on some soul food at grandmas house back in the day. Dang I miss this era of R&B and hip hop. Thanks for blessing my speakers. Music is ageless and I will always stick to this version of sound of choice over the “post 2010” error.....oops I mean era of music.
geez. this is still one of my favorite Jadakiss verse. Let me rephrase that statement. Every Kiss verse is my favorite. But, I love this verse. He crushed it
Ayyyyye yow.....oh my gosh man how much I can't get over this particular golden era y'all feel me right lol Lord knows this was it......good good times

Facts
"Since the Mona video you been tracking me down" that's how I discovered this song😂
Facts we had swag back in theses days ….
This is one of my favorite songs of all time and I’m from Texas.
Ima lox fan and I didn’t know bout this
Her whole debut (11-20-79) was just as dope. She could realllllllly sing! And she proved live every time. This industry didn’t honor her skill.
You gotta think of all the albums that dropped in 96. That was pretty stacked for ladies R&B. I’m not saying she’s got overshadowed. But it was a stacked year.
She probably didn’t sell out or go through the rituals.
It’s time we 4k 5k HD ALL of Mona Lisa’s Music Videos and stage performances. Clearer definition would be greatly appreciated. She’s deserves her flowers 🌺
@@domnel3981EXACTLY 💯. If it was about talent she would have been as big as Brandy.

Felisha Mizell I can't even tell you when was the last time I heard this on the radio?

Word.
Facts
Man if I could go back I’d be gone, no questions asked.
Real talk I miss these times so much the music was different the girls where different
That one run she had before Jadakiss verse sent chills up my spine. She could really sing and was fine too.
This just makes me miss the 90s even more!! R&B was everything!! I remember this on BET jamzone 97'. Mona Lisa is so underrated!
Totally agree, her vocals were incredible here, you hear the soul n power in her voice...shoot I'm bout to listen while I'm here
Christian Clarke Yes I loved me some Mona Lisa! She is gifted. Hope she comes back out soon!
the song she did for don't be a fool while drinking ur juice in the hood soundtrack is awsome too

100% facts
YOU HAD TO HAVE B.E.T. TO SEE THIS VIDEO....90'S ERA FOREVER...BEST ERA HANDS DOWN
I miss music like this. When music actually stood for something. She's sooo beautiful & underrated.
My Mona Lisa she never sold her soul like the others the whole album and it’s because of the lost Boyz I got this album this one’s a gem .
Yo who remember when they played these songs on regular tv back in the day on the channel called..."The Box"? I used to record it on my VCR, rewinding it playing songs like these over and over like I was in the music video lol
I remember!
1000 thumbs up...

I didn't fk wit that Jerry springer sht tho...
I knew those weirdos he had on there was propaganda.. fast forward to what we have on social media/ cyberspace
I miss this era when hip hop and R&B songs had their own sound. Everything today sounds the same.
I LITERALLY LOVED MONA LISA,!!!!!!!! INCREDIBLE ARTIST, VOICE AND STYLE. FINALLY REAL RAP AND RNB TO MY EARS!!!!
Big factz 💯 these kids will never know bout this type of music
This is the sound and type of music rap and r n b wise we are missing in today's era with these younger kids. Facts

Yeah R&B and rap aren’t blending anymore. Even some of the R&B singers are becoming more rap focused. They should bring back the balance of rappers & R&B singers. It goes together so well…they have segregated themselves.
Damn I miss the 90s!

Is this the same girl who sang " can't be wasting my time"???
Live Reality yes..she did and I loved that song!

Damn this just make me feel good, My youth my teen years, THE 90’s was the shit. Teen party’s, Skating, on the block , memories on to of memories 💯
Still listening in 2023 ❤
Man I'm so glad I was a teen at this time,best era ever!!!
I wished they woulda played this during the lox ladies medley at the versus battle last month
I was saying the same thing during the battle when Dip Set said Lox don't have girl joints. I immediately said play that Mona Lisa joint 🔥
I still dance the way Mona is dancing at the 3:24 mark. Call me old if you want too. Nothing like dancing with a dude you like face to face smiling and laughing.
Zsa Bronxite agree !!!!!
Zsa Bronxite those were the days
Zsa Bronxite that’s the auntie dance lol
yesssss
90’’s r&b/hiphop 😌😌
August 2021 I'm still rocking with The Lox! 🔥 🔥 🔥Dipset didn't have a chance Lol 🤣🤣😆
Damn I miss the 90s best yrs ever
I miss the 90's so much! OMG! I used to sing this song all the time and tried to style my hair like that too 😂😂
When this first dropped you knew it was something special....one of those songs that carried instant nostalgia 🔥🔥🔥
80s & 90s is new school to me. Especially since the music industry has died a slow death since 2000.
This sound is like that good seasoning on some soul food at grandmas house back in the day. Dang I miss this era of R&B and hip hop. Thanks for blessing my speakers. Music is ageless and I will always stick to this version of sound of choice over the “post 2010” error.....oops I mean era of music.
This song is 🔥🔥🔥. It just screams the 90s. I miss those days!!!
I guess when hiphop reached its peak in late 90s and early 2000s it had no where to go but down.
1996! Remember hearing this on a mixtape (yeah, an actual mixtape cassette, not a CD). This song was and still is FIRE!
It was on a DJ Clue mixtape. I still have the tape somewhere in my mom's garage
"Honeys in Harrisburg wanna serve me grapes. Because they see me in Dauphin County with Wilkes-Barre PA plates." Jadakiss is my man!
The Lox was spitting 🔥 for many many decades now, sheesh
Bring music like this back please.
A Stevie J production
Great One oh wow Stevie J produced this 👍🏾
Appetite 4 Chic He’s in the video. Lol
OMG this took me Back I was like 16 when this came out I forgot all about this song 🤍
Mona ❤ The Lox all of them are from Yonkers. This is really giving me life, I miss the 90s.
dayum, I remember Mona Lisa's whole album was banana's, straight fire, wish I could I get my hands on it for my collection....
Fam it's a hard find if see it grab two...
IRON5 You can by her album on Amazon
Try Fildo app on Android i got mine from Tidal my G
Love the album so much. I listen to it all the time.
I was fortunate because my mom had / has the CD. I burned into onto my iTunes library and kept on my ipod and itunes collection since. ^_^
geez. this is still one of my favorite Jadakiss verse. Let me rephrase that statement. Every Kiss verse is my favorite. But, I love this verse. He crushed it
Stevie J Produced this joint!!
90's music the best-known of all time I remember this jam by Mona Lisa
Jadakiss is the Charles Barkley of the rap game
im confused, how so?
This comment didn't age well after what he did to Dipset in the verzus battle lol
@@remylebeau1787 his big ol bowling ball head
First off big ups to Stevie J and the Lox. I still love this song. I miss you Mona come back girl.❤️❤️❤️❤️
Teenage years in the 90's great music plus I had a crush on Mona when I was younger
Her album was classic! Don't know why she was one and done 😥
Maybe the answer to that question is in the intro of the song « uptown 1st lady ». I’m writing from December 2023…
This was my joint back in the day... the lox verse was definitely on point
Stevie J was killing these tracks
"16 or not I dream about romancing you" is wild 😂
first time i ever saw the lox was in this video back in 96 lol
We had so much fun back then, these kids don't do nothing now
"How can it be? Why don't you see? Cause you boy should know you’re part of me. Your heart to me, no one can take your place"
Classic rhymes from Jadakiss at the end. I had to go on ebay to get the single of this song with this version of this song eight years ago.
Man this bumped at the house parties when i was 14...Henney, phillies blunts, and Red Dog.
Shit was crazy wish i had a time machine...word.
Hitmen Stevie J definitely deserves his flowers for real he is a dope legendary producer 💯
Drinking a yahoo wit a young chick is crazy 😂sheek was buggin lol
This is my favorite 90's track when i was in 10th grade and still play this song now i show missed the 90's.
