I hate so bad, that they broke up. They actually open the door for lesbians in music tbh. Everyone thought Pam and Keisha was dating. But they wasn't but they chemistry was so nice to watch. I take Total over any other group
@@DJ--ALLDAY I get where your coming from. However, not everyone understands contracts. Many people just want to famous, and dont think about the legality issues that come with the entertainment business. In other words, Diddy took advantage of these sistas.
I Grew up with Jakima (Kima) in NJ We're FB friends and her and her family are doing well 💜 She just earned her degree in the medical field 👏 💙 ❤ P-Funk 🤘🏾
I met Keisha at a movie premiere featuring Omar Epps. Even though the movie starred him, I was more excited to meet her! 🤗 she was so beautiful and super nice. I gave her her flowers by telling her how much I loved her and the group back in the days!
Puffy even hated on Missy Elliot. He has either destroyed or attempted to destroy people's business. A hot mess!!! Im happy that these sistas are each doing well. God, knows how to work it out. Amen!
Did he though? Maybe jealousy at the time or not wanting to be outshined. The music was starting to shift, Diddy was trying to find his way trying to follow up "No way out.". He lost his magic touch around that time period when Missy was getting experimental. So maybe he really didn't get it at the time.
The industry is no joke. Pam came by my radio show LIU Brooklyn campus around 2002 ,2003 and shared she had to work at White Castles to make ends meet. Apparently she had no writers or publishing to hold her down when fame starts to dwindle out. She gave a great interview, talk about a lot of real shit. I wish her the best.
That moment I first heard CAN'T YOU SEE really gave me goosebumps. All of their voices together was something special. Pam is a living breathing VIBE💪👍
I really love how eloquent Total speak (of each other or of others) in interviews. They’re never caddy or disrespectful. The world could use more of that. Hopefully they’ll give us some more good music when they’re ready.
@@justmimi9527 I know right ..But there was one girl group that came out in the 90's that group was called Vybe ..they had a hit song called "Warm summer daze' " ..one of the girls kinda sound like Tboz .check it out if you haven't heard it.
Kima so soft spoken and always kinda gave me aaliyah vibes, Pam always gave tom boy swag but she was sexy with a unique sound like t boz and keisha look like Beyoncé sister from another mother she’s stunning and has a great voice, I wish we could’ve had longer with total than we did cause they had it but diddy screwed them as usual, shame smh
Diddy is what happened to all the artists/bands he signed. I can't name one artist he had that didn't either die, had only 2 or 3 great albums before disappearing from the music industry (Faith, Lil Kim, Mase, Total, 112), or was a one album wonder (Day 26, Danity Kane, Diddy Dirty Money).
@@sierrajean6524 yeah I know and so does Faith but they not like how they were in the 90s/early 00s. You have to really scramble to find their new stuff which is a shame because their new stuff is good too.
You right about what Diddy did but all of them wasn't the only ones he did it to the Lox dream and New Edition biggie too if you know the story behind that
Still listening to both CDs on the regular and remembering how I shocked my white friends on the school bus playing them the "spanking" interlude. ha ha ha haha
Loved Total!!! They were one of my favorite groups in the 90's!!!! They each had a different type of swag and voices were smooth as hell n very different which made them even better!!! Damn I miss the 90's!!! Music was fire back then!!
I'm going to tell you why the group didn't last because two members of the group were in a relationship! Diddy confirmed it on making da band!! It's all everybody talked about in the 90s
crave ..... there's nothing else to say other than my favorite song they made.... soooo smooth. perfection. no one could do a better job tryin to remake it or sample it
Puff was low key jealous of Missy talent
Because he knew she could do everything without him hence the teaching of Devante Swing of Jodeci. He hated on them too
Right
She was stealing his dates and turning em out 😂
I believe so too....Missy was ahead of her time. Her creativity was and still the bomb....nothing was ever good enough for that demon.
Jealous true enough because he definitely has no talent
Total was one of my favorite groups of the 90's. Jamming!!!!
yes Gawd
Yassssss! I was 10 years old when their debut album came out in '96. I listened to that tape more than any album in my entire life!
Yes💯
@@richardthurmondjr1569 Yes 💯 I Use to Jam to That Everytime it Comes on the Radio. and Plus I Just Watch The Video Two Week Ago.

I gotta say Pam’s hair stayed laid! I was all for it.
Keisha's did too .
Really all of their hair stayed laid.
I had that cut the good old days
@@teetee740 oh man you were fly then.
@@teetee740 did you have a nose ring too?.
I still bump Total till this day. They have hits and I truly believe it they go on tour they can sell out venues!
Yes, most definitely
They cann get my dollaz!
They would have to get away from Diddy
Me too
If You Want Me is on rotation everyday
Who still playing Kissing You in 2020!?
All the time...I sing it to my husband frequently.
Especially the Oh, Honey remix
That and the remix
I do Lol❤
That is my song
I loved total! Pam just had that unique voice. They definately made a huge dent in the music industry. Never to be forgotten.
They were the hot girl group for me. Always be a Total Fan.
Ditto. Total, Xscape, and TLC for me!
ALWAYS!
Big mistake rocking with Diddy
@@wadehanks4120 how? He's been very helpful and influential to the artists who really work hard for it.
@@thablackkat9905 because his artists always claim he never paid them fairly.
All of Diddy acts are broke and find the lord at some point.. meanwhile he sitting on a billion..
Diddy is the devil
@@sexychocolateable I believe it... can't be a coincidence at this point..
Right after working with Diddy no one really have anything good to say
@@startaylor8860 except MGK. But I suspect bc he's white but who knows 🤷🏽♀️
I know it makes you wonder what actually happened at that damn label. Non of them are normal nowadays
Pams voice is just beautiful, she’s the Tboz of the group
DAM, PUFFY "ROBBED" ALL OF HIS ARTIST!😈
💡 It's not a ROBBERY if you agree 📄 to let the THIEF ROB YOU

@@AuthorLHollingsworth which is why they should’ve done their research. They were grown women not teenagers too old to let someone mess them up.
We been telling everyone that Puffy Is Poison since 2005.
Where did she say the label robbed them? Thought I heard her say the group internally had issues..I might be wrong..
Pam was the essential factor. Without her the group is blah
Pam was the "cool' of the group!
@Erykah Kane In what way she’s not the prettiest or the best singer 😂😂
Yeah but Keisha was the prettiest
Total and En Vogue were my favorites growing up💕
Every time somebody sign with Diddy he do them wrong 💯
Well he learned from the best (Clive Davis)
@@ParentalDiscretionIsAdvised 💯
@@ParentalDiscretionIsAdvised I learned from the best I learned from you.

Wow Thank you for that update. Love you sis
So you grew up with her sister too? Vita. Murda inc rapper.
Kissing u is all I been thinking of 🎶🎶🎶
Yaaassss! Honey if my man doesn't come back from the dead just to kiss me, I don't want him! 😂😂😂😂
"Ooh yea. I wanna kiss you."
That was my shit
Still a banger 🔥🔥
Kissing you is so good .🙂
I loved that they had 3 different types of femininity
That’s a great way to look at it!
They remind me heavily of the girls from Set It Off
I met Keisha at a movie premiere featuring Omar Epps. Even though the movie starred him, I was more excited to meet her! 🤗 she was so beautiful and super nice. I gave her her flowers by telling her how much I loved her and the group back in the days!
Keisha is gorgeous!
Isn't she I'm obsessed with her short haircut
She gave her life to the Lord! Freakin' wonderful! There's nothing better!
Amen
it takes that sometimes

@DeAundré Alderman now I don't like Puff but he had a point about the 2nd album cuz it was trash
Puffy Is A Bitch
Right!! My mouth fell to the floor!!! Missy is far from wack!!! I cant wait til karma hits Puffy. He has gotten away with so much!!
Missy Gave Them Hits🎤🎤🎵🎵🎶🎶Puff Should've Hired Missy And Timberland As Total Main Producers
I swear can’t we keep groups , I just need folks to sang, and Kissin you will never Die😘😘😘💯❤️❤️❤️ Love this Group💯
Total is the most underrated girl group! Still bang their music today.
FUN FACT: Kima is the big sister to rapper Vita, who rapped with Ja Rule.
OOOOUUUU I NEW I NEEEW IT !!! I KEPT SAYN THAT. THEY LOOK MAD ALIKE !!!💪💯
Holy shit!!!!!!! I didn't know this
Yep, I went to high school with Vita
I didn't know why i kept rewinding looking at her they look alike too
yup
Do You Think About Us (Rafael Sadiq remix) still goes hard to this day.
I still listen to Total till this day...So many classics!

One of my favorite girl groups behind TLC
There is no reason sonically that the album “Kima, Keisha, and Pam” didn’t go platinum! That album was a banger and still is.
Yes Im listening to it now
I still play this album
Pam is a great spirit. We’ve been friends for almost 5 years and she’s is a god send. Kima was very underrated as an artist but her solo music is good
Puff doesn't look after his artists!

Agree
HE LEARNED FROM THA INDUSTRY !!!!
And it's finally catching up with him
Great job on the mini doc! I thought Total was always a beautiful group of African American women that styles was amazing and young girls can look at.

Diddy always up in somebody studio telling somebody they whack when in actuality he is the whack one......
This video talked about everything they did! But what really happened to them is what I wanted to know!!
I with you on tht. I wud love to hear their story.
Right ! Cuz is some sh*t ! Me thinking pam was gay but she got married to a Man😂
Puffy and the Music Business💔
Pam and kiesha were fuckin and kiesha dropped pam for omar epps!
Total was the SHIT back in the 90's!! The song feat DaBrat was and still to this day is pure fire!!
“I don’t need no one else but you!”
i just learned of that one-year ago
My Girls, Man Total just had that Umph factor and some jamming hits!👊🏾🤎🤗🤗
We need an "Unsung" on Total
When Pam says " when I'm with my friends I tryna think of way to leave them behind just to get back to you" that's straight facts ‼️
Kima so soft spoken and always kinda gave me aaliyah vibes, Pam always gave tom boy swag but she was sexy with a unique sound like t boz and keisha look like Beyoncé sister from another mother she’s stunning and has a great voice, I wish we could’ve had longer with total than we did cause they had it but diddy screwed them as usual, shame smh
Nailed it perfectly
Thats crazy how female acts of the 90s somewhat embodied aspects of one another whilst and being known for what they bringing to the table!
Lol...
Diddy is what happened to all the artists/bands he signed. I can't name one artist he had that didn't either die, had only 2 or 3 great albums before disappearing from the music industry (Faith, Lil Kim, Mase, Total, 112), or was a one album wonder (Day 26, Danity Kane, Diddy Dirty Money).
#Truth
112 still makes music maybe not under Diddy, I saw them in concert in 2018.
New Edition was on his label also.That album flopped.
@@sierrajean6524 yeah I know and so does Faith but they not like how they were in the 90s/early 00s. You have to really scramble to find their new stuff which is a shame because their new stuff is good too.
You right about what Diddy did but all of them wasn't the only ones he did it to the Lox dream and New Edition biggie too if you know the story behind that
I love their songs "tell me what you want" & "Kissing You"
I still play their music to this day. I saw them, Faith Evans, and Dru Hill in concert years ago, and it was one of the best shows I've ever been to.
Diddy has alotta nerve talking to Missy like that.. wtf 😒
Pam was tooo fine... I loved this group...
stevie wonder could see pam as fine she would have had him hollering gotdam
@EI84 Ashlee That's because Keisha was the prettiest!
But Pam stool out it was something about her when they walk around sing 🎤 my eyes 👀 stayed her. It was her vibe her style
@@chynadoll77cyn59 true chyna doll i must agree
I swear Pam was the coolest!!!
Puff stole their money 💰 too
The fans deserve a total reunion album and tour !!!!!
I just saw them in concert in Inglewood California last night they were still really good
So freaking happy to see a video about Total!!!!! I always wondered what happened to them. I love dancing to their songs back then.
STILL LISTENING TO THEIR SONGS. TIMELESS!! CLASSIC!!!!
Kissing you will always be my favorite by them
Danity Kane, Dream, New Edition, 112...
Curse of Puffy.
No offense but B2K never was with bad boy and you forgot about 112
Don't you mean 112 B5 and Day 26
@@jv4409 My mistake, they only did a song with him.
Why do you say New Edition? They worked with him on a few songs but mostly worked with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis.
@@jonest1395 Puff Daddy signed them to his label, but they didn't like the direction he wanted them to take.
Yo, this is my favorite 90's R&B female group..I still love them and their music... they are super dope!! Thank you for this!!
This is an excellent and detailed review. You have taken me back to my youth. X from London UK 🇬🇧
This group will never be forgotten 90s shit.🔥🗽🤗
"Trippin'" is my 🎶...on my playlist right to this very day...
Still listening to both CDs on the regular and remembering how I shocked my white friends on the school bus playing them the "spanking" interlude. ha ha ha haha
I still play Trippin' WEEKLY. I still love Total!
Pam always been the most beautiful one in the group, I love my chocolate sistas
She was just cool and had fierce hair cuts....loved that about her.
I hear You
Oh, Pam had a unique sex appeal.
@Michael Fennell Nope Keisha the finest, then Kima, and Pam last she not ugly but she not the finest either.
1985? 'Kissing you' still my FAV!
Loved total back in day my group I missed the 90s.
Me too
I loved Pam. She was my fav. Her energy is everything!
Loved Total!!! They were one of my favorite groups in the 90's!!!! They each had a different type of swag and voices were smooth as hell n very different which made them even better!!! Damn I miss the 90's!!! Music was fire back then!!
Suge was telling the truth🤣💓
Never liked his ways but he speaking all facts that night.
This was good. They were so amazing!💖
Thank you for the video the update was so appreciated and I miss them as a group 😣😖😫
I was so in love with Pam🤦🏽♀️😍😍😍😍 I still listen to them on the regular!!!!
TOTAL NEEDS TO STOP PLAYING WITH US AND COME OUT WITH SOME MUSIC.
Not gonna lie, i didnt think Pam was cute at first. But then i realized she was gorgeous
I felt he same and realize just now that she was gorgeous. I honestly think i had colorism when i was younger
she kinda favors Fantasia (simlar sound and look)
@@mbrady3979 yep
This is my favorite girl group from the nineties. You have a new subscriber I love the nineties🥰
Total had them club bangers and repped Bad Boy. Definitely one of the best groups to ever do it!!! And that 2nd album was 🔥🔥
When they broke up I couldn't believe I didn't want to accept it they were one of my favorite groups. Trippin is my favorite song. Great commentary 👍👍
Loved Total.....Pam was always my favorite.
All Bad Boy artist got played smh🤦🏾
Sadly
Maybe not though
I have never seen a successful artists on bad boys
@@nicoleharrington9086 meanwhile Puff damn near a billionaire smh
Not Faith.
I asking that question everyday !!! Pam my fav ...that voice ... pam is like into fitness now flawless body....i loved them .....
got hooked from the intro , please keep these coming ❤️

She was good! Her collaboration with MC Late "it's yours" was a crazy hit!
Yup
Thank you! so much
always wanted to know, what happened to my fav Group TOTAL. LOVE #TOTAL
I love this video. They are my favorite Bad Boy group!
A Total-SWV collaboration should be done with Missy Elliot as the exclusive producer.
Intro on point🔥 editing on point🔥
Thank you! 💙
Pam dark and lovely self was too cool. I loved her style
Trippin my fav💕 And who knew Kema and Vita(Murder Inc) are sisters? Because I didn't until a few mths ago👌🏿
One of many fav group. Still 🔥🔥🔥🔥still 🎧 in 2020 & beyond. Shout out to Total. Would love for them to come out with another album.👍
Be Safe Everyone🌎😷
Pam naturally takes the stage and we all know that’s a problem for puff be a he wants to be, ALL IN YOUR VIDEOS…
Love their albums. Absolute 90s vibes
Pam was left off of “Juicy” which probably explains why you only hear her voice on “Hypnotize”
@Nineties Central you totally forgot no one else Remix featuring Lil Kim Foxy Brown and Da Brat
Still have they music on my iPhone pro til this day ❤️👸🏽 love them always!
