Some peeps don't know how too react I actually listen and I'm 41 kinda gross but still look good lol.. people just need to learn listen to the first mary j and Jocedi sweetest think the best
Wanna hear a cute story about this song? When Method Man was on the road in San Francisco, he was missing his girl (who is his current wife and mother of his kids) so he flew her out to see him with the little money he had. Whilst she was sleeping, he watched her as he wrote this entire song
Such respect....the Mom is just yelling and screaming for Method Man to leave and he just respectfully leaves out. No back talk, no name calling, no mean stares. Such a gentleman. I wish we had that kind of respect from our people today. I mean, sure the Mom cursed at him but he just walked out like, "Yes ma'am" and went on about his business. Method Man is the best!
I honestly wonder if Big Pun and Biggie, if they were alive, would still make bangers like Em. From what I believe I recall, Biggie and Pac were both going to start the own record labels, but their deaths prevented it from being so.
I've watched this video 100's of 1000's of times and it never gets old. There's a universal quality encrypted into it I think. The beat, Mary, Method, the NYC streets and grimy looks just leaves a lot to think about as I grew up in it. Such a masterpiece as a whole and truly timeless!
Man, I still feel this way for my husband. All the ups and downs that we have been through to get to a state of mind that is peaceful and clear. But he will forever be, ALL I NEED! Like Dakatari said... Even in 2023, this is still a banger!
I’m 43 and this was my best friend favorite song . After all this years I’ve lost track of her and came here to remember her . Sorry for my English, it’s not my native language
ODB and MethodMAN broke the stigma behind R&B and hip-hop collabs with their partnerships with Mariah and Marry! The industry was never the same afterwards!
You almost got it Viny... It is not only about music, my friend... For many youngsters living in suburbs, this song sounds like Love, Life, sometimes even, survival...
The things a man sacrifices to keep his woman happy and maintain a great relationship is how I take this video. The fact that he's only getting her tampons (girly thang thangs) to show his appreciate for her and that he'll do anything for her, all while getting shot at and chased the entire time, is how it really feels to be a good man in the relationship. Lol even her mom don't see it, but he puts up with it anyway because it's real love, and the point is that no one else should understand their connection if it's real. It's hard to explain, but this video is the best way to show a man's perspective when they're genuinely a good man. By the time he comes back, the look on his face says it all, but when he see's his true love, it's all smiles because she was worth it.
You know what my Ex would say about that topic? 'Every man pretends he would die for his girl. But all WE want is a man whose taking out the trash when he's asked to!'

Classic!!! Came here because someone said this was the best r&b and rap Collab. I agree this was perfect. !! Mary's vocals with meth flow peanut butter and jelly the beat is the cherry on top. Every time I watch power I keep wanting them to perform this 😂 that would 🔥 if they could do it at the end like a wrap party
@@BeingAngieBee it's not the man you were chasing or chosen it's the major systematic racist system we all live in let's say you got with a good black guy he would still be held to the fire sooner or later in life these folks don't care if you a good or bad black person the top want us all gone or controlled
The thing about this track is that right up front you can feel that Old School flow hitting you. It's got that got that "from back in the day" NYC vibe running all through it. I'm all about Brooklyn -- but this joint is about the black relationships that were happening in all five boroughs. Those of us who lived in the city in the 1980s and 1990s rolled this way each and everyday. If you were out in them streets, you knew the feeling. Your goal was trying to make enough bank, survive the struggle and live another day and to find a way to get your girl and your family up outta the madness. Some of us made it out and many of us didn't. In 2023, the struggle is still real. Unfortunately for the culture, the love and trust between Black men and women just ain't there. We used to have a Love Jones for her body and her skin tone. Now, a lot of brothas are telling Black chicks to just leave them alone and sistas are telling the world that Black men ain't shit.
They NEVER used to play the full video when this came out to show the full story. Once in awhile on BET you could catch it. This was WAY before the internet
This song reminds me of how hard it was back then, drugs, jail, death but there was always a beautiful woman that would ride or die with you. They understood our suffering.💯🙏🏿
what a time. this is on permanent rotation in my house, the story line about mistaken identity, the bond between he and his girl, that grimy ass rooftop and alleyway. If you weren't around you have no idea how big this was for the culture, and their careers. this video made every woman fall in love with METH. the chemistry was good you believed it.
The line " Back when I was nothing you made a brotha feel like he was something"!!!! Then him and Mary J bobbing their heads in unison. - this was the black woman in the 90s.
Stephen Corbett I liked that black woman. Strong and powerful, a role model. Come on girlies let's get back to the positive. Leave the let's perform without barely anything on behind👍🏽🇬🇧. It has become more about our tits and ass on show, twerking like stupid, foul language, and less about our talent.
Meth bars were dope but Mary's vocals weren't anything to rave about. She sung one note the whole song. Not much was needed in vocals to sing a hook. Hell, Faith could have sung that chorus.
Luther V Lucky guy. Thankfully I was born in the early 90's and have a Hip-Hop crazed older brother which allowed a little of that magic to rub off onto me. Can't stand the new shit nowadays. Hip-Pop has taken over mainstream airwaves while Hip-Hop had to scurry away to the underground scene.
You got lucky with the older brother or you might be wearing skinny jeans like all these fucked up niggas I see every day now and mostly because of lil Wayne lol
TheChronicDocumentary DreGame THIS IS HIP HOP. Know am saying? I know times and the sound changes as it did from 80s to 90s or 90s to 2000s but in every era you could see and hear fucking hip hop. That shit today is fucking electro, pop or whatever the fuck music. I dont see hip hop anymore. Raps are wack, no flow, no content and I dont know whatelse. When I see new school artists perform, I dont see hip hop anymore. I see a bunch of fucking clowns screaming wack rhymes to a beat/instrumental that sounds like electro music so dumb people can dance off to it and all I can think of is "Is this a fucking transvestite club or...what the fuck???"
Niko G agree man. I still bump Big L too man, Capone and Noreaga, Big Pun, Noreagas solo album, Wu Tang, Onyx, MOP. DMX all that shit and there are still so many artists i have not listened to. I didnt hear all EPMD album, I didnt hear all Redman or Defsquad albums, still so much to find. I know most of the classics but I there is no way I will run out of music and say "OHH I NEED TO LISTEN TO NEW SCHOOL BULLSHIT" hell no. I dont know whos on the radio either, I know whos "hot" a little? I guess...i heard some tracks from friends and its fucking horrible. WHen I showed them Eazy E - Boyz IN Da Hood one girl said "this is awful, turn it off" and played some german swag rapper.....I was like holy fucking shit u stupid hoe ass bitch, without Eazy E ur faggot ass women pants wearing swag rapper from germany wouldnt even exist. Eazy introduced gangsta rap along with Ice T. Also...no fucking shit from today goes harder than tracks like BOYZ IN THE HOOD, that shit is timeless classic and goes hard as fuck.
Still my jam in 2024! Mary was too cool in this video! You can tell Mary was like I'm going to show up, I'm going to do what I got to do but I'm chilling today!❤❤❤
Who's blasting this in 2021!!! 🔥 Happy New year y'all Edit: Wow didn't expect all the likes and comments!!! Thank you so much ❤ Almost 2022 and still blasting 🔥🔥🔥
"back when I was nuthin, you made a brutha feel like he was something, that's why I'm with you til this day boo no frontin" - Meth is talking about his wife in that line.
I was a teenager when this song came out. Was blown away by this rythm, tried to copy the clothing style, which was impossible in Romania in the mid 90's :) Still one of my favorite songs to this day. WuTang forever!
Awesone to hear of a hiphop head from romania. I visited in 2011 and its not the type of music i expected people to like. Props to you my friend love your country btw its beautiful
Everytime I see Meth and Mary on Power, I think of this song. They were my favorite artist separately back then and when they did this...FIRE!! I am so proud of how far they've come. Get that money yall. Much love and respect🙏🏽🥰😘 STILL one of your biggest fans
"You're All That I Need, I'll Be There For You, You Keep It Real With Me, I'll Keep It Real Wit'chu"! No realer words have been spoken in Rap/Hip Hop Music!!
Spoken like a true product of the patriarchy. The only thing I don't like about 90's or any rap/hip-hop, gender degrading lyrics. It exemplifies lack of intelligence. That's coming from a female who has a WuTang tattoo. Artists should speak about females as if it were their own mother or daughter.
The crazy part about mothers like that is the push emotionally, mentally, and physically into the arms of man. They didn’t love you the correct way growing up that you go out searching for love.Whether it’s right person or not doesn’t matter. No love in home breeds finding love in the streets. Find that love that’s unconditional like God is a true luxury. No doubt. Must be safeguarded. ❤2024
I was 5 years old when this song came out in ‘95 and this song will be playing at my wedding reception whenever I get married. If you’re not from that era you won’t understand how much of a classic this song is.
I’m 18 born in ‘03 but im still bobbing my head to this classic and every other song from the 90s-2000s and always will.. it’s what I came up on and plus my mama loves her some mary! Lol. 🤣🤣
@@mzpradaa_ I'll never forget being in high-school, driving around with my mom when the first time "Let's talk about sex" came on the radio and thinking my mom would be repulsed and change the station. Instead, she blared it while bobbing her head and singing along. Ignorantly and shockingly, I said, "You know this song?!" 🤣 I didn't know whether to laugh or seek therapy for viewing my mom as an actual sexual person rather then just my mother. Grateful for my mom being open to the 90's music, especially rap/hip-hop as a Woodstock going hippie. "Crossroads" by Bone Thugs and "F the police" by NWA are 2 of her favorite songs. 😂 Having kids now, I realize how ignorant I was to thinking my parents were so innocent and niave. They were more devious and rebellious then I ever was, as a youngin', which explains why they were always assuming the worst.
the outfits of the girl. that's the trend again. crop tops and high waist denims. how I wish music is just the same as fashion - simply rotating. we need the good old music.
If you listening during the COVID 19 Quarantine of 2020, hit like to show "Mad Love" for the "illest collab of Mary and Meth... Lyrics spit REAL GULLY Black Love...#ToGetBy
U definitely aren't... I was passing through RU-vid real quick, saw....damn.... I forgot which video I saw first.... That was like 4 hours ago.... I'm passing through all 90's and ²000 joints... 4get sleep... I'll get that in church tomorrow... 😜
