This was Mary’s second single from her debut album in 1992. This song has been credited with the distinction of transitioning away from New Jack Swing and ushering in Hip Hop Soul and Mary has been known since then as The Queen of Hip Hop Soul P.S. There is a remix featuring Biggie
Neishawn Johnson Aaliyah’s my favorite artist & person of all time so of course I agree with you!! I’m biased with Aaliyah so i had to just say Mary & Mariah 😂
Mary is a master at riding the beat and making it punch harder. This was her debut song. She was a breathe of fresh air. Old school Soul mixed with hip hop. She became royalty very quickly.
I was ten when this came out my sister and I wore this cassette out. Mary is the queen 👑 of R&B her Catalog is undeniable, keep up this journey of great music the 90’s was definitely the golden age of music 🎶
Mary Is The QUEEN of HIP HOP R&B/SOUL.... She’s the reason why we heard R&B records with Hip Hop influence over the year and currently. She invented that genre and shes a Legend!
Mary is know as the Queen of Hip Hop Soul. The majority of her music has samples or elements of older Hip Hop songs. This song contains a sample of the Audio 2 "Top Billin" (the drum track). This song was Mary's breakthrough from her first album "What's the 411."... 1992
Mary and puffy started each other careers when he produced her 1st album he was an intern and he gave her the name queen of hip hop soul, this is her 1st single from her 1st album
Mary invented HIP-HOP/SOUL. Hip-hop/soul is a merge between hard hip-hop beats with soulful vocals and inflections. It's basically what we have now in R&B today. The merge of both genres together. Mary J., Jodeci, SWV, TLC, etc. were the cultivators of that and it started around the New Jack Swing era. Puff was also responsible for bringing this sound and image to mainstream music.
The queen of hip hop and soul. This was her debut. And yes, if I remember correctly she’s from Yonkers, New York. There’s a remix of this song with Biggie.
Her song "Sweet Thing" is one of my favorite songs. It's one of them classic timeless songs.. I think you'd love it. Thank you for taking me down memory lane once again 🙂
This was her one of her first music videos and song in the beginning of her career.Before Mary j did her solo projects she was a back up singer for Father MC check out his music video I would do anything for you Mary j is one of the background singers that stood out
I'm so glad you did this version. By far the better version....there is a live performance where G&B rips it. Shame he never blew up. This era is aiight but I miss the 90s!!!!
This was Mary's first single, everyone wanted that 911 album!....I remember I was in middle school at the time, the baseball caps w/the cut out top, for the poytail! lol ...This Dope!💜
@@sweetangelplus No problem. Puff played a major part in Mary's career in developing her at Uptown, he probably had a lot of say on the concept for this video, the wardrobe etc...
The Queen of Hip Hop Soul This song is from her "What's the 411?" album. She released the same album with every song remixed with features. Songs with Craig Mack, B.I.G and a lot of famous dj's did production on it. All the slow sings were remixed to have hip hop or up tempo beats. You should react to her BET life time achieve award performance where she performs her greatest hits
This is from one of her first albums "What's the 411?" That whole album was fire-check it out. Songs like "You Remind Me" and others were all fire, as well.
Hey buddy. I started watching your channel last month, and I'm hooked. I appreciate your love for the classic music. Keep it up!!! Btw, Mary is known as the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul. Just fyi. Lol
The Hip-hop feel comes from the beat. Which sampled a classic Hip-hop song Audio 2 'Top Billin'. And that album was basically Mary singing over Hip-hop inspired R&B.
Drums are samples from Audio Two - Top Billin. Kenny Greene won songwriter of the year for this album, should do some of his group Intro - Let Me Be The One, Come Inside, Don't Leave Me, etc
After this song came out she was crowned 'The Queen of Hip-Hop Soul' and noone has come close to snatching that crown from her... Other suggestions: - Mary J - Be Happy (video, my alltime fav) - Mary J - Everything *also, if you havent already, cd you do Joe Cocker - Little Help From My Friends (audio, the vids are not as clear sounding)
I got 3 chains on top brother nice, moves brother, feeling the groove, is it me or is this song almost modern blues, like the ballads part. Great stuff brother let the negativity fuel your fire. You got this brother.
Yup, this was early Mary bc it was her debut album. There were different producers, but Diddy was the main one. Check out "Sweet Thing" and "You Remind Me" from the same album, Jack! 😎✌🏽
Hey Jack.This is Mary's first song,this song is what put her on the map.And yes she's from New York.Please react to her cd breakthrough it's awesome,and she's rapping on this one
