Her verse on that Brandy "I wanna be down" remix was crazy 🔥🔥.
I been mackin daddy from the corner of my eye! Yeah 🔥🔥
Ayyyyeee “he was born 20 years ago just a pimp toes, everyday new clothes...”🤣🤣🤣!!!
STILL...
Classic
💯
She still iconic to me. Money doesnt change her contribution to the culture.
Idk if most white females try this hard to be white.
The voice,eyes,lips,hair...
Right
King 51 stfu those are her natural eyes and hair with extensions added!ww are rocking braids now sooo hair is hair stfu
Absolutely
Destiny Long
Exactly you couldn't have said it any better.
I saw Yo-Yo in concert last year. She opened for Eric B. & Rakim. She was on-point. Skills, delivery and energy. Underrated for sure.
Right before the Eric B. & Rakim tour...I peeped her at Queens Of Hip Hop in ATL with Lyte, Remy, Rage, Mia X., Eve, Rah Digga, Trina, Monie, and Nikki D. YoYo still got it!
Caught that show at Tabernacle 🙌🏽
@@johnnierock1090 that was in ATL? Damn i missed that
@@MyDbzfan9000 yes March 2018. Very far and few the ladies get together like that. It was a good show.
@@johnnierock1090 ah i wish i would have made it! All legendary and hardcore female rappers!, i did get to see DJ Quik, Too $hort, Juvenile,Scarface, 8ball & MJG, Pastor Troy and Bun B , 2 weeks ago here in Augusta which was amazing itself!
"A lot of people like to keep you in the dark because they don't want you to see YOUR worth"
When Real Rappers
Had Something To Rap About Yessssssss YO-YO
🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿💯💯💯💯💜💜
I always liked her! She's real!
They also rapped about crap back in the day .
U made me want a Hershey bar
So true
Exactly!!!!
when she stated " this industry will have you lying to yourself " THAT'S DEEP AND VERY TRUE. you have to know you before and after #facts
Not just the industry, it happens in the real world
@@stacyr4768 Exactly
@@stacyr4768 .
yet in this particular case and this video we are referring to is the industry side of the world 😐😅 it's obvious this happens in the real world but the industry is a whole different story, another level . Hollywood will have you fucked up and then some , IF YOU ALLOW IT . unfortunately alot of people see $$ and all $$ signs aren't good #facts. we see this everyday and this has been going on for decades yet there are only a handful of artist , actors and so fourth that know how to manage / deal with this part of the world
True story, I ran into YoYo at SFO Airport this past November. YoYo was so down to earth and friendly, and she even took a selfie with me!
The Bonnie and Clyde theme is still one of the hardest tracks ever.
Ever
Yesss!
Facts!!!!!
💯💯
HELL YEAH
She’s still famous to me ... #DontTryToPlayHerOut
NayDay hahaha
Facts I'm 21 an even I know yoyo a legend
@@dominicmorris8797 😂
NayDay me too
Dum hashtag thing
She was everything on Martin- KEY LO LO!
YAAASSSSS!!😂😂😂 I REMEMBER WATCHING HER ON MARTIN TOO AND LISTENING TO HER ON THE RADIO!!😂😂SMH I'M DONE.
Tommy called her Kalouha
YAAAASSSSSSSS! She & Shanehneh held it down with that rap song..."You want some & you just can't get none!"😀😁😂😂😂
That's her? Her voice sounds different
@@stacyr4768 not really
50 next year. Her, Latifah and Lyte. Ain't aged a day...
David Richardson They are phenomenal
Black don’t crack till waaaaaaay later 🤣
She'll be 50 in 2021.
the fuk, are you watching this on a 3" screen? you dont see that D level makeup job they did on her? she looks like the mother of someone from the Jersey shore cast.
Bottom line,,, learn how to tell family and friends,, NO!!!
Right, they will take all your shit if you let them, then the crazy part if you tell them NO they call you selfish.😒
@@luvburden5743 So very much true.
You are definitely right about that part; about telling them no.
P- 81. U know that's so hard man.
That's the problem i had.. but it learned me tho..the hard way😞
Honestly I can't even say she blew the bag, the bag blew her. She wasn't out buying Ferraris and million dollar homes. She was helping family and her career just didnt earn her the money it could have. Much love to Yoyo!
db60615 😂 😂“ The bag blew her”
@@demetra544 😂😂😂 real talk tho!
U need to remember they were really kids at the time...😔
she may not be saying everything she blew money on, there may be some drug involved and other bullshit
True
Everybody stream Yo-yo music on Spotify or Apple Music...let’s get her some of that money she deserves back.
Doing it now!!!
How do you know she gets money from it?
@@acquadi2077 They get a fraction of a cent per song, that would never work.
You gotta actually go buy her albums or just give her 15 bucks, they don’t make money off of streams
J P according to sources they do actually make money from stream that’s licensed to the artist..the label makes the money first then the artist ...so if I streamed her first album the whole album she may receive 4 bucks and change her label at the time will take the first cut..then she may get a check in the mail for 57 cents from streaming.
Black pearl precious lil girl.
I have always liked YoYo.
Hell yeah. I sholl miss the old skool!
Life Lesson: Famous doesn’t always mean you’re rich!
When female rappers kept it classy💯
What about Lil Kim?...
@@Creatvambition lol times change but lil kim is dope af 💯 if you listen to common's I used to love h.e.r u will understand how the female rapper's evolved
Not all of them kept it classy back then🙅🏽♀️
Who knew of Yo-Yo before key low low✋
me lol
🙌🏾
I wonder where she went tho.
🤔
Ms Independent, I did
True Facts : Yo-Yo was featured on the original Dear Mama track from 2Pac featured in the o.g sampled chorus line.
Ice Cube is a genius he picked a down to earth good hearted talented beautiful lady
So true. She use to live next to me by Pico Blvd and La Cienega.
There's something special about California girls.....peace and blessings...
That's wssp
🙌🏽🙌🏽 I’m a California native now living in DC. I agree!
I agree🏁💯 california born n raised...LA baby!!
Love how real she is, so honest. We need to see more of this, not just one side of getting rich.
I meet Sis at Platinum Club on Venture Blvd ...she so freaking real very pretty and humble...Thanks for sharing
She's stunning in-person. I also met her, but it was like 10 years ago at an old school hip-hop show. I got the same impression. Very humble, beautiful energy.
Goldengurl10, so are you. Wow
Had the pleasure of meeting this wonderful human being and her spirit is genuine and refreshing...I will always love her.
How blessed are you
She seems like a beautiful soul.
They dont make FEMALE MCs /WOMEN like THAT ANYMORE
Nope you'll got Cardi B & Nicki Minaj corny asses old song rap all day for me👀💣👌
GO on NOW to Spotify lookup Rhapsody she's a pretty cool female MC a real one from North Carolina.
She needs a great contract she owns her master from from beginning to the end and her publishing 100 percent and send her across the world 24 hohour security and invest her money franchise and counseling and yogo
Cuban Doll is today's YoYo
They sure don't, they have made women feel they need to be naked an slutty
Beautiful Black Queen, of the 90s rap....much respect.
Yo yo the green eyes are still poppn.#100% Real
Much respect ✊🏽 moving a struggling family from Chicago to California 👊🏽
Yeah I wonder what the family doing now?
T- Tolbert
That was a heart to heart move.
Good looking out.
I cant forget Black Pearl, my little chocolate drop was 4 when it came out. It was a beautiful song.
dionne That’s was the first song that came to my head
Black Pearl Precious little girl Let Me lift you up where you belong you been in the back ground much to long
Big bubb from the rnb group TODAY featured on Black Pearl
THANK YOU!!!!!
Thank you for interviewing Yo-Yo. I havent seen her in a long time. And she looks the SAME. Beautiful.
#Blackdontcrack
I'm so glad I grew up before and during hip hop....saw it all play out. YoYo!!!!!
Prettiest eyes In the industry next to Michele
Dave H don’t she remind you of Michel’le. They could pass as sister imo
Yep
FAAACTZ💯💯💯

Rene Zambrana ooooowwwweeee how did I skip her? Now that’s the Queen heartbreaker

jack ramirez it’s “you’re” not your, genius
Tommy: Wait what are you talking about Kalhua!?
Sheneneh & Bonquisha: Ohhhhhhhh!!!
Keylolo: Kalhua! My name is Keylolo! You got it! K-E-Y Lo-Lo, don't forget it baldy
Yo Yo is a great person. My daughter's attended her summer program. She is very hands on and down to earth, she even calls her parents and takes care of her own business personally. She is a great woman and role model. We love you auntie Yo Yo and appreciate you girl.
I always got this vibe that Yo-yo is just genuinely good people. West Coast Hip Hop Legend. What up Rage?
Kirby Augustine she is I’ve meet her in person through her daughter some how her daughter dated this guy that was from my hometown called Texarkana and it was a shocker. I can honestly say both yo-yo and her daughter are humble and nice people I know exactly from experience 💯
Antonio Cortez That’s a great story. She just exudes positive energy. Thanks for sharing.
"Make Way for the Motherlode" is a classic!
bowieonsoultrain gotta check it out
I love me some Yo-Yo... We the same age (born same year)... She's still Beautiful, Super Talented, loved her music and she exude such positive energy
YOU MAY HAVE BLOWN A COUPLE OF THOUSANDS BUT YOU DIDN'T LET THAT STOP YOU,YOU CAME RIGHT BACK WITH A POSITIVE OUTLOOK ON LIFE TO DO BIGGER AND GREATER THINGS,THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR STORY AND BRINGING SOME HOPE,,,STILL GORGEOUS AS ALL GET OUT,😍😍😍
Chill with the caps lmao
@@user-jn8ix3tb1i WASSUP,IMA CAP KINDA SISTA,,,😛😛😛
I don't consider this "blowing a bag". She was taking care of herself, her family and others. 🙂
She didn't have to help family
@Daron M. yes family assume she had money so started to mooch off of her.
I remember she was very young. Now she knows the meaning.
It is blowing the bag when you think you can support all them broke negroes forever and your very finite funds are depleted. She wasn't sitting on $20M or even $1M.
Yes, she was helping friends, family, and others, but how did they help her when she got evicted?? Ungrateful vultures are everywhere. I hope she learned. MC Hammer 2.0.
Lmao the title outta pocket, pun intended. 🤣
Daqka Garane what’s the pun
Lol when u have no money your pockets are empty, and the title says she’s broke. Sooo...
@@Deqaaa oh duh lol
Daqka Garane So disrespectful lol
😂😂😂
I love hearing old school stories of fame & making it! Times were so different back then, it was earned & not instant fame.
MyStylelight yeah, me too. That’s why I like UnSung.
Bronze Goddess she has always been beautiful
Insane Monk she is ok..don't gas it cuz she is a older black woman
Keith Williams keep that to yourself LAME you probably into dudes anyway
She kept it real!
Great advice🙏🏾
Outside of Salt n Pepa she was one of the female artist I liked. She was "hood cute" without coming off lesbo. I loved her chemistry with Ice Cube, she was the kinda chick that fit his look, attitude, and WHO loved them as a couple (so I say....lol) I LOVED the unity between her and other female artist especially Latifah the UNITY track was my shiiiiiiii. I'm so happy she talked about taking on more than she can stand trying to help somebody. I needed to hear that. She's still gorgeous, I need to see her in concert.
SUPER PRETTY OMG I STILL WANT TO PLAY WITH THAT YO YO LOVE YOU😘😘😘😘😘😘😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
KEY LO LO IM COOKED 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Angie B - Similarly, SALT N PEPA is my all-time favorite female rappers, but I also loved Yo-Yo, Monie Love, and BOSS. Not that I did not like other female rappers, I just like those mentioned, especially Salt N Pepa much more.
Why don’t you also ask the millions of Asians, Indians, and people of LATIN descent (ala Sammy Sosa) who have been known to bleach their skin, genius?? One more fun fact, Black IS so beautiful that you have white women (heard of the Kardashian’s??) trying to darken their skin, plump up their lips, sculpt their bodies, dress like, and wear African braided styles JUST like black women...weirdos like you need to educate yourselves before such an unintelligent statement. Yeah, I said it too. Lol.
@@sonicvasquez4673 Black IS so Beautiful that "others" including other brain washed people of color have been trying to convince US that we aren't. We are the most copied people on this Earth. So many other Races want to be like us but don't want to be us. Everyone is so use to stealing our shit and trying to make it their own. Sad thing is I actually hope you are White. If you're not, smh you're just like them.
YO-YO is so underrated!! Loved her music back in the day.
"I was the Sugar Honey Iced Tea."
That was clever LOL
That's a very old statement.
My great grandma used to say that, where have you been?
Shit it's new to me
This was a great video for financial literacy month !!
She still performs, keep going yoyo
I remember one time I begged my mom for weeks to put braids in my hair like Yo Yo she eventually gave in
Yes girl, I remember Keylolo. YoYo has always been beautiful.
She’s soo gorgeous. I remember her and Tupac used to date. They were soo cute together ♥️
Meech Icewood Yeah
Never knew this
YESSS I TELL YOU BLACK DON’T CRACK... SHE LOOKS AMAZING 🤟🏽🤟🏽🤗
It don’t crack but she’s look scary af
@@GreaZZZYDRAWS That part! Sumthin looks off.. Hmmm
@@GreaZZZYDRAWS It's the makeup an lipstick..
Locs The goat Is that her eye color?
Looks Amazing?????
Really?
Wow!
I guess I gotta take a trip to the optometrist.
All I see is a Felicia.
Damn how old is she?! She look the same from the early 90's.
Got all her albums. Including Ebony. You better Ask Somebody is her best ish. Followed by the Motherlode album. Black Pearl was good too.
Wow you know a lot about yo-yo but what about how pretty your eyes are your gorgeous
Diane V True fan
The actual factual, Woman of the 90s!. YO-YO THAT'S FOR THE REALITY OF THE MUSIC INDUSTRY
She got a big g juicy ass.
Still love YoYo. She has so much flavor!
"you want sooooome but you can't get noooone" 😂
I remember seeing Her regularly at a laundromat here in L.A. on Pico Blvd in 2003-4. The look of embarrassment on Her face when She was recognized by Fans was painful to witness. Glad that She survived & is still going strong. 💖
She is absolutely beautiful
Before Lil Kim and Nicki Minaj
No before nicki minaj lil Kim was in the 90s to
Dee Slizzle lil kim was after 93 Yo-yo was before 93
But they both we. Were still before! Nickys time
@@deeslizzle3885 yoyo came out before Lil Kim.
Factz
Those are her Real Eyes tooo!! No contacts 😍😍🔥🔥🔥
How amazing, Martin Lawrence paid it forward. You’re talent was amazing and you’re experience needs to be shared and you should actively school those in the music industry who are young. Much love.
Lovely Rebel Martin was hiring everybody on Martin. A lot of ppl he hired went on to have super successful careers. Tichina Arnold, Kenya Moore, tisha campbell
I had no idea that she’s the ambassador of the black college expo WOWWW
She's still beautiful ❤️
Yup saw her in person n she has a glow about her that I've only seen a few people in life
she didnt really blow the bag...she still been working and not homeless
Yes she did blow it...shes not in denial...u shouldnt be.
Ya I don’t think she ever really got a bag
Yes honey, I’m still playing her music. Shout out to all of us 40 +l
I had a crush on Yo-Yo sum fierce when I was 14.

So so proud of this woman.... her growth is so evident and she is so humble and still beautiful. Mad kudos Yo Yo....😊
She is so beautiful to me. Wow😍
I disagree. 😁
@@joshnippleton3449 Hair and eyes are ok to me 🤣😂😂😂
Josh Nippleton
Lmao ...Well Tea Nicole did say "to me"so that's her opinion...Now me personally I didn't care 4 the color of her lipstick WAYYY 2 much make up...We might not recognize her without the weave & make up... Natural is beautiful 2 me #myopinion
Well she did say to her, but at 1st glance I thought that was one of those white females on Dr Phil that over tan and over bleach.
Josh Nippleton well you’re white so your opinion of black beauty doesn’t really matter she is just too big but she is pretty
Yo-Yo is still kickin n in full effect, God bless her she’s awesome 😃
Loved this! Ahhh thanks Auntie Yo! Beautiful as always. Shout out to the brown women with hazel-green eyes. 😊
I use to love some Yo Yo. People gain financial literacy
This was a good episode, I'm hooked. 💰
Fav Martin scene. Kilolo how much crowd participation do we need?🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤

LMAO!
I was just listening to Yo-Yao’s first song this past Monday and now here’s an updated video from here. She’s such a beautiful and inspiring woman. God Bless her.
I like how her voice transitions from soft to slightly louder and how she pulls you in by storytelling. Lovely person.
That’s my best friend
She was raw
She's an ICON 😍 love Yo-Yo 💛✨ She is keeping it so 💯 here, she helped others and struggled. Most would never admit to their struggles.
YO YO A LIVING LEGEND!!!🏆😎✌
She was and still is so beautiful to me. I think that she was a strong black woman that really drew me into her.
Saw her in Berkeley, Ca with Whodini, and they all looked and sound very good. And yes she is still thicker than melted cheese on pizza.
I went to that show it was for lil d
I love her! She's so real & genuine! Always been a fan! And we share the same last name. She's a Whitaker!! 😘😍😘
Gorgeous. YoYo, Latifah, & Lyte are so beautiful.....very talented.
Blessing to you my queen and may God restore everything that was ever taken from you during your music career.
