♥️ Absolutely agree and @3:14 the MJ choreography was legitimately remastered perfectly in the tradition of the real Michael Jackson. These guys had their stuff together. It's clear to see why they were so popular and successful in the music business.👍😎👌
I'm a grown ass man but the musical parodies (Bobby Brown, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Milli Vanilli, and etc.) had me giggling like a little boy, which is what I was when this video came out in 1990.
Check out the original "Mama Africa" written, produced and performed by Hakim on RUclips. Akon had a international hit because Hakim recorded Akon in his home studio and coached him to sing the song exactly like he did.
Man, that Rhythm Nation re-creation at 0:01 to 0:07 was crazy funny. Back in the 1989-1990 period, everybody was trying to get that Janet Jackson finger countdown thing down pat.
Classic video! The Boys paid homage to so many artists/video concepts from the 80s in this one. I love it! Thought of it after watching "Faith." RIP George Michael.
***** Father time doesnt wait for any of us. I was 24 at this time. funny you mention that because one of my sisters little friend danced with me to this song when she was 14 and just told me everytime she hears this song she remembers that moment because she had a crush on me. SMH.... time is flying. I am 48 now. how old are u? 37 or 38 correct?
There's an extended version of this video as well and believe it or not, it's even funnier. Love that as young as they were, they had a great sense of humor.
2:39-2:47 was my favorite part of the dancing routine. This is so cute. I wasn’t hip to them as a child but I am now after their unsung. They were hella charismatic
I absolutely loved these guys!!! I never realized that they were only a few years younger than me. I was born in ‘75. So they came out when I was in high school. My brother and I played their music nonstop. Now I can share them with my son. I miss R&B from the 90’s😭
OMG I missed those days so much and wonderful song's and music like this, we didn't realize how good we had it back then, with superstars boy band's like the Boys, they were such a great era in my life, forever a fan and love you guys.
Where are The Boys now? HUGE talent, and watching this video just brought so many memories! The video itself is such a hilarious riot! The takeoffs on George Michael, Bobby Brown, and most hilariously Madonna have me cracking up all over again!
Khiry now lives in the states, while Hakim, Bilal & Taj live in Africa. Hak still does music, Khiry went into film. I'm not sure about what careers the younger are into.
Still pumping this joint December 29, 2015 and beyond. Shout Out to Suns of Light F.K.A (Formerly Known As) The Boys. Khiry, Hakim, Tajh, and Bilal Abdulsamad. Carson, Ca Finest. Hak Productions.
I love all of this stuff!!! The music, the whole song, the lyrics, the voices, the video, the dances, the references of Janet and Michael Jackson😍. I just fell in love with these guys. I love you The Boys!!🤍 (especially with Khiry bc in this video he is the same age as me. He is so handsome here)
Back when kids were kids. These kids today are grown and fas as hell. My cousins and I almost danced a hole into the floor with our little step. I like this version, but the 12'' version had a lot more bump.
Actually they was fast back then… the dancing distracted you from seeing that it was ok for them young boys to be chasing around that older woman .. but if the role was flipped ….
See back in those happier years of entertainment. We also dance to our favorite artists, and that alone kelp us in shape. I told my kids, that living in those days where the best ever. We had better music influences, and we representated ourselves way better then my childrens has today.
Every Right On magazine, etc...They were in-me&my best friend brought to get their posters faithfully!!!...5,6,7th grade lunch breaks at The School for Creative and Performing Arts(Cincinnati)...Couldn't wait to sit and talk about The Boys!1988-1991...Memories:)
I found this thread on Lipstick Alley from this April that had one of Hakeem's Facebook posts saying "Just got off the conference call with the producers of UnSung". How cool is that?!
SMH I swear I miss this type of early swagged late 80's Early 90's vibe F'real💯cos The Boys(rather young men)was really the FIRST to do a smoove ass parody video & I jus LOVVVE them SOOOO much cos they were & stl are Soooo Damn talented & their choreography was Off Da Chain like No otha, Sirrrsly OMG puuuure Fiiiire!!💪🏽🙋🏽♂️💙🙋🏽💙🙋🏽♂️💙🙋🏽💙🎶🎙🎶💯❤️🔥❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
I'll never get tired of this song. It's still so much fun, and the video just enhances what a fun time it was. The Boys look like they had a blast making this video!
I still love this group, I was 6 in 1988 when I first discovered the Boys. I had a crush on all of them. I wish I was 12 in the late 80s so I could purchase records.
I remember my sweet grandmother bought me their vhs behind the scenes tape Crazy at kmart and I watched that thing like crazy!!!! I was obsessed with them well with Hakeem at least!😀
Y'all were one of my favourite R&B groups back in this era. Not just as a kid act, but the entire music scene. Thank you for what you did at that time. Hope you all are doing well and God bless.
I was 14 when this hit, I didn't think it was possible to laugh & dance real hard at the same time til I 1st saw this vid 20 yrs ago. Still makes me dance & laugh hard at the same time, I miss this whole era so much.
unsung is doing a story on them, can't wait to see it! I forgot all about them! I use to love them, If I told how long it has been since I have heard this song it will tell my age! lol Wow, good times in my life growing up, songs and memory!
The Boys, Hi-Five, ABC, Kris Kross, Perfect Gentlemen, Special Generation, Troop, etc. oh man the '90s were LIT!
@Patrick Thomas Ayyyeee!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Sure was 💃🏽
No LIES TOLD
I forgot about perfect gentleman
Perfect gentlemen... girl you took it back!
Still loving them at 52yrs old.❤
Yep me too. Same age😊
49 here!!!!
@@ajsassy788 I know right!
Never knew how funny this video was until now. Crazy.
Crazy how they were so young and they did all of this by themselves it shows how talented they are at such a young age
♥️ Absolutely agree and @3:14 the MJ choreography was legitimately remastered perfectly in the tradition of the real Michael Jackson. These guys had their stuff together. It's clear to see why they were so popular and successful in the music business.👍😎👌
@@J.Croonerall of them were also on moonwalker as well
@@swayvacious1 ♥️Cool I didn't know that. I wish I could go back to these days and get a direct message from The Boyz.👍😎👌
@@J.Crooner you can probably find them today, I think they’re all psychologist now
@@swayvacious1 Cool that's great to know they are doing well in a professional setting making a living the right way.👍😎👌
bring this era back!
Boyz keeps their music going hard all the time
Janet, Madonna, Bobby, George, millivanilli, MJ etc amazing video!!
The Milli Vanilli part was my favorite so funny I love this video
I'm a grown ass man but the musical parodies (Bobby Brown, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Milli Vanilli, and etc.) had me giggling like a little boy, which is what I was when this video came out in 1990.
BEVERLY HILLS COP, MIAMI VICE George Michael too lol when he was eating the chicken
BEVERLY HILLS COP, MIAMI VICE Aww😍
I was 7 at the time!
And the Janet Jackson "Rhythm Nation" parody too.
George Micheal on the juke box.
New Jack Swing era was a fun time.
This cut still bumps, the boys had some cuts and harmony, respect
This video was ahead of its time.
It was their idea too
Exactly..were catching up now...lol
I was thinking the same thing. And they produced that song themselves, I’m watching them on unsung
The Tag Team for real 💯
Wayy ahead!
When you realize Hakeem wrote and produced This ...It slaps HARDER!!!!
Check out the original "Mama Africa" written, produced and performed by Hakim on RUclips. Akon had a international hit because Hakim recorded Akon in his home studio and coached him to sing the song exactly like he did.
Yes, he was a PHENOMENAL young talent.
What!! ,we was in love with them.
I miss the late 80's and the early 90's.
That's true
New Jack Swing era...I miss it too!
Who don't miss da 80's music i know i do
I miss it too 😆😫🤦🏾♂️😔
I miss the late 90s early 2000s. But I still enjoy music in the 2010s til now
Their swagg was so grown tho!! Talented!!
+Tina Tate I know right.
Tina Tate Looking like little classy swagilicious men at that age! 😊
It’s amazing seeing this in 2021 and we let them young boys chase after that older woman .. as if that’s ok … but hey lol

White Mexican here from a small town in AZ who never had MTV. Born rocker, secret RNB boy!!
Dope video
I'm listening in 2021😉
They tapped into their inner, "In Living Color", as far as the musical parodies. Dope video, they definitely killed it.
More like weird al
The parodies were so good
@@tmalone2530I agree 😂💯
and bobby brown 😂
Man, that Rhythm Nation re-creation at 0:01 to 0:07 was crazy funny. Back in the 1989-1990 period, everybody was trying to get that Janet Jackson finger countdown thing down pat.
And bobby brown part
Classic video! The Boys paid homage to so many artists/video concepts from the 80s in this one. I love it! Thought of it after watching "Faith." RIP George Michael.
Mildred Haslett rip
They were mocking them, not paying homage
Me too.❤
I wouldn’t say mocking; more of a parody.
RIP Michael Jackson
The influence of Bobby brown is crazyy 🔥🔥
Wow I was 15 when this came out....Where did the time go...I used to watch this on "The Box"
The Box! I miss those days.
How old are you now bro?
Kelvin Thomas 39 Kelvin!
***** Father time doesnt wait for any of us. I was 24 at this time. funny you mention that because one of my sisters little friend danced with me to this song when she was 14 and just told me everytime she hears this song she remembers that moment because she had a crush on me. SMH.... time is flying. I am 48 now. how old are u? 37 or 38 correct?
***** Oh ok... well I finally see your photo now here. You grew up to be a beautiful woman. Very beautiful. Where u from?
There's an extended version of this video as well and believe it or not, it's even funnier. Love that as young as they were, they had a great sense of humor.
Yes they really did Janet Jackson .

Won't be nothing like it no more!! Real music!!

Wow! I'm 35 years old and I must say I miss the early 90's
I'm now 50 years old and I love this as much as I did in the 80s
I'm right there with you, bro!
That Janet Jackson part at the beginning always was funny as shit to me 😂😂😂😂
I've gotten old and I'm sitting here talking about that's a cute Lil chocolate girl
The spoofs on all the videos..lol...I remember this song too
They always find a way to get men in women's clothing under the guise of artistic expression lies... Like it's a ritual or something.
Wat he said
😂
One of the best group in the 80s
They are a 90s group... this is 1990.
I love this song. I remember dancing in front of the tv, doing the choreography, just being a kid. Lol
Haha same here :)
OMG I missed those days so much and wonderful song's and music like this, we didn't realize how good we had it back then, with superstars boy band's like the Boys, they were such a great era in my life, forever a fan and love you guys.
Their music still holds up very well especially in this day in age 😊👍🎤
0:39 The way Hakeem slid into the 1st verse with so much swag he was so suave with it. I was crazy about these dudes 😂
And he LITERALLY "takes it to the bridge" 😂😂
They're underage
RIGHT! I loved it! 😂😂
My FAVORITE part
I'm your 100th like I feel special😊
😂😂😂😂
"Slow down baby I got pains in my chest." Lol 🤣😂🤣...so stinkin Cute!!! ❤️..aww the 80s...
Love em, I was such a huge fan of The Boys back then, Khiry was my ❤.
Was in obsessed in the 90s with these boys ☺️
My room used to be filled with Right on Posters of them
Where are The Boys now? HUGE talent, and watching this video just brought so many memories! The video itself is such a hilarious riot! The takeoffs on George Michael, Bobby Brown, and most hilariously Madonna have me cracking up all over again!
Khiry now lives in the states, while Hakim, Bilal & Taj live in Africa. Hak still does music, Khiry went into film. I'm not sure about what careers the younger are into.
They are still together and are now known as the Suns of Light.
Update: Only Hakim still lives in Africa, Khiry, Tahj & Bilal all have moved back to the States some time ago.
They’re all living a spiritual life and doing well. Watch ‘where are they now’ on the RUclips platform
Still listening in 2023 came back after 5 years
I miss music like that.
They went Troop, Bobby, George, Janet, Madonna, Today, they went everywhere. But Troop and Today are their feel!
"A Different World" season 5 episode 13 brought me here.
Crazy B/RM VIDEOS watching it now haha had to find the song
Crazy B/RM VIDEOS

Back when kids were kids. These kids today are grown and fas as hell. My cousins and I almost danced a hole into the floor with our little step. I like this version, but the 12'' version had a lot more bump.
I know right, yes they are. The teen females look way older then me dressing half naked and singing about sex.
Yes!
Actually they was fast back then… the dancing distracted you from seeing that it was ok for them young boys to be chasing around that older woman .. but if the role was flipped ….

The New Jack Swing In The 90's Changed The Music Game . The Boys, This was The Song Me & My Homies Song During My School's Talent Shows
