Wow, I didn't know her struggles, but she is a huge part of my teen life. Thank you Lisa Lisa! Can't wait to see you. Come to Austin, Texas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not the 1st ever but a significanrt one especaially for Boriqua/Puerto Rican women in Hip Hop. Lady Pink the graffitti legend, Pebbley Poo emcee who put outthe song "Flyy Guy" in 1985, The Real Roxanne, Roxanne Shante, Sha-Rock of Funky 4 + 1 More, etc. were a;; Fly Girls. Lisa Lisa was a pioneer for Hip Hop / Soul / Pop and opened the door for Electro 'Freestyle' music that TKA and La India set it off. Kicked the door open for J.Lo.
@@adrian-h3d Full Force definitely made great dance music. They were why the British topless model and singer Samantha Fox ever had hits in America beyond “Touch Me.”
“All she did was sing”? 😂 She is the voice and they would be unknown without her. Samantha Fox had several hits in the U.S. before they started working with her. Someone seems to have an issue with successful women.
@RockinDaBoombox a woman's success has been influential & indelible throughout what we know as history. trying to justify her achievements is bittersweet to revisionist sophists
The sad thing is that back in the 1980s MTV would not play the I Wonder If I Take You Home video, whereas BET played the hell out of it. If it had not been for BET's Video Soul, Lisa Lisa, Cult Jam, and Full Force would not have gotten the attention they deserved because I Wonder If I Take You Home was the ish and still is. Brings back good memories of being a pre-teen/teen back then. MTV was racist af back in the day when it first launched. I am glad to see that Lisa Lisa is still doing her thing.
@@Steverodriguez825OF COURSE, MICHAEL *KICKED THAT DOOR* *DOWN AND MOON WALKED* *RIGHT IN* AND THEY HAD AN *ICE COLD PESPI* *WAITING ON* *HIM*...🤣🤣💯😎✌🏾
@@Steverodriguez825Only because Jackson’s record label CEO threatened to boycott his artist roster from their channel if they didn’t. And Jackson really had to prove his worth to them.
That was because largely middle-class and white suburban households had cable back then and that’s where the audience and the money were. If anything, it was the audience themselves that were the real racists. MTV was just trying to run a business.
I love Lisa Lisa! 🎶 Her music shaped my childhood, and now as a DJ, it’s amazing to see people dance and sing along to her songs! 💃🕺 #LisaLisa #DJLife #Throwback
My 1st dance was to, I Wonder If I Take You Home at a wedding. My 1st concert my mom took me to was Lisa Lisa and Expose! Now at 50 y/o, I still play her while cleaning the house, washing the car and just to jam at work. Thank miss Lisa for the music of my teenage youth!
Now thats a fighter !❤️🔥❤️🔥💯🫶🏿 I remember dancing to those songs as a kid😃🎵 I can relate to making music and not earning a cent from it. Her story makes me want to try again❤
Give Lisa Lisa, the '80s star iconic some flowers🌷🌺🌹 please. She has a beautiful voice. Her music is coming out soon. Treat her with respect and honesty.
@@lichi1244eva She never had another top 10 hit after 1987. Sure she had two more in the top 40, but after 1987, it was pretty much the Billboard black singles chart where her & Cult Jam’s music made any impressions after that. White America pretty much moved on.
@@RocStarr913thank goodness we black and Latino people kept her popping for a few more years then. Lisa Lisa, Cult Jam and Full Force made their impact during that time and absolutely still deserve respect. You don't have to give it if you don't want, no one is forcing you...
@@lichi1244eva Back then, it wasn’t even called “freestyle.” But “I Wonder If I Take You Home” was definitely one of the singles that created that subgenre.
@@RocStarr913that's right, as a New Yorker, freestyle was very big back then. If I remember correctly, Hot 103 was a freestyle/dance station that's how big it had gotten here
So I was a high school jr listening to Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam headed to Gulf Shores when I should have been in school. A lot of memories listening to their music.
WE LOVE YOU GIRLLLLLL !!!!❤❤❤KEEP THE FIRE BLAZING MAMI ¿ IT'S ALL BEUNO !!!!!!!THANK YOU FOR GIVING US ALL THOSE *LEGENDARY HITS*💯👍🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

@@cvc1814 Flowers have to be earned. She only was really popular for three years.
I still listen to Lisa Lisa till this day! ❤
Much love to Lisa Lisa. She's a true treasure to the culture.
I grew up listening to LIsa Lisa. She's awesome
She would be a great talent show judge. ❤️
Older, wiser and still Lisa Lisa! ❤
Lisa Velez, thank you for being alive!!! Thank you for your music with Cult Jam!!!!
You still can't go anywhere without listening to her voice ❤
True, considering she only had a few years of hits.
@RocStarr913 And without her name and voice, Full Force wouldn’t have had those few years as well.
Lisa....Is History!!
Love me some Lisa Lisa❤!
Wow, I didn't know her struggles, but she is a huge part of my teen life. Thank you Lisa Lisa! Can't wait to see you. Come to Austin, Texas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love Lisa Lisa!!💜She was a huge part of my younger years. So happy she is healthy and singing again💜
Lisa Lisa was the first fly girl of Hip Hop.
BEFORE J- LO & ROSIE PEREZ👍🏾💯✌🏾
@@kennyboudreaux1657 Full Force definitely played a massive role in making her music popular.
Damn right
@RocStarr913 The name “Lisa”, the actual singer, certainly played a massive role in making Full Force a household name.

it's good to see these pioneers still whirring their wings amongst us
@@adrian-h3d All she did was sing. She was merely popular because Full Force made and wrote her songs.
@RocStarr913 that's true though. but i use to love their music back then

Lisa Lisa is an icon. Wow. I can’t imagine history without Lisa Lisa.
Loved her music
OMG, I loved Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam. They represented my entire teen years. She truly was a trailblazer. I loved her on the tv show Taina. ❤
Full Force is the only reason why her music was ever really good. She merely sang.
@RocStarr913 go outside, find some grass, and touch it. 🙄
Now thats a fighter !❤️🔥❤️🔥💯🫶🏿 I remember dancing to those songs as a kid😃🎵 I can relate to making music and not earning a cent from it. Her story makes me want to try again❤
The music business was always a very volatile business.
I graduated high school when she was doing her thing. Love her!
Crazy i was just thinking about them & "Let the Beat Hit'em" Saying they Should be Touring in 24'/2025!!

She Is An 80's ICON
Lisa Lisa is one of the best Queens of New Jack Swing and Hip Hop. A True Trailblazer! As a Gen-X, she's the best!
Full Force is why her music was ever popular. And their music completely went out of style by the end of the 1980’s.
Facts and she was also one of the OG ladies of freestyle. I loooooove freestyle

Wow she had a lot of hit songs
In the mainstream, not really. She had three singles in the top 10 and after 1987, white America pretty much moved on.
@@RocStarr913Let the beat hit em came out in 1991
"Take You Home" will always be one of my all time favorite B-Boy jamz!
