I remember the interlude on the CD.. When Keisha (whose married to Omar Epps) was having a "Happy Moment" and the guy was banging on the bathroom door..
This was before Bad Boy took over. Before Faith Evans. Up to this point Biggie had just dropped two singles. Juicy. And Big Poppa. But man this is when that crew said WE HERE!
3:03 unpopular opinion: Diddy’s ad libs are hype as hell. It’s just the fact that he’s so untalented compared to all the other artists that people find it annoying
I know Diddy had the fire adlibs and even a couple fire verses written for him. People just hate, but they were not complaining back in the day. He’s certainly talented in marketing and knowing what the culture wanted. He was never really taking himself seriously as an artist, he lost his biggest artist and was forced to find a way to still be successful.
This song was and is still🔥🔥🔥! I always loved to see Diddy's dancing and talking in the background. Diddy is definitely a talented man. His business practice's are questionable, but he really helped in the success of his talent.
Bad Boy era was fireeee !! Total, Mase, 112, Carl Thomas, Faith Evans, BIG ! React to Mase - What you Want AND, Of course ! Nasty Girl - BIG, Diddy, Nelly, Jagged Edge !!! OMG this song
For as popular as Total was in the 90's hip hop/ rnb community, they had trouble finding mainstream solo chart success. They had some top 20 hits on the hot 100, but their only solo song to crack the top 10 was "trippin" at #7. Their guest and featured appearances is where they had the most success. "Loungin" with LL Cool J got to #3 and "Hypnotize" with Biggie got to #1. The dominant 90's consumers were mostly made up of generations that were exposed to previous decades of vocally powerful female groups. Groups like the Supremes, the Vandellas, Labelle, the Ronettes, the Emotions and The Pointer Sisters (to name a few) were the standards that Total didn't live up to. Total was the only well known 90's rnb group that wasn't bringing strong vocals to their singles. I believe that affected their mass appeal. Where TLC was the perfect blend of style and substance, Total was all the style without the substance. Today's music scene is far more vocally forgiving. Total would've had a better career if they came out today. While I love their style and the creative perspective that they brought to music, I still believe, that by the late eighties /90's generation not taking musicians like Madonna and other popular musicians to task for producing less than stellar vocals, we opened up the pandora's box that led to horrors of today's popular music. Check out "90's girl" by the group Blackgirl. It's one of those catchy songs that makes you forget the gender specific lyrics. I remember one time singing this in the shower thinking I was home alone. I came out to find my step-dad in the hallway. We made eye contact briefly then awkwardly passed each other. You'll understand if you ever listen to this song. Also, the group Divine. Their debut single "lately" shattered all expectations and shot to the top of the charts. Most people don't know the group, but they know the song. The group For Real was the opposite of Divine. They had critical acclaims, award nominations, movie music work, Brian McKnight! Their singles "you don't wanna miss" and "you don't know nothing" got a lot of airplay on BET and the rnb/hip hop parts of MTV. Despite all the backing and their immense talent, they didn't take off. Not on the hot 100 or even on the rnb charts. They had a song on the Waiting to exhale soundtrack called "love will be waiting at home." The decision not to release it as a single was a career defining moment as it was almost assured to be a hit. It's a hauntingly beautiful ballad that tugs at all the right emotions. It's one of those songs you get lost in and let it take you to a place of total tranquility.
This is why 90's hip hop is missed so much. Look at the background of what was coming out then. Mobb Deep. Mary J My Life, The Roots, 2Pac Me Against The World. It was crazy!
One of the best songs ever made .. such a classic .. legendary song bro! Ole girl from Total .. Pam .. absolutely murdered this track .. obviously BIG as well!
It’s ok to scream n holla when BIG n Total step out. I played this at least 30 times a day when it dropped. This is f’kn ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥 I feel so blessed to have been apart of this era of music. I miss the feeling that songs used to give you.
Yessss!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥 they played this like crazy in BROOKLYN when it drooped. React to more Total "Kissing You remix" "Sitting Home" "No One Else remix" "What About Us"
One of the best female r&b groups of all times in my opinion. They didn’t get to make a lot of albums and singles but the ones they did make are all classics in one way or another.🔥🔥🔥
@@cityboyyayarea4742 Total will always be my favorite group...no question. But if I was just looking for powerhouse vocals, I think Xscape tops the list. Especially those sangin' ass Scott sisters!
@@cityboyyayarea4742 Hard to decide. Total had that swag and honestly that's what draw me to them. SWV was dope, but kinda all about Coko for the most part. With Xscape though, everybody ALWAYS got they chance to shine and I loved that. If I HAD to choose only one group to listen to though, it'd be Total.
This song was first released as apart of the New Jersey Drive soundtrack. If you can find those two cds, please listen to them. Those records had me in a chokehold.
This song is my jam I really love total on this she ate this entire thing. legit not joking this is my favorite song from the 2000's I am a Gen Z so yeah fire song 🔥
I know Biggie’s whole verse on this song by heart gotta watch him perform this with Total Live it’s a whole different vibe when he yelling those bars crazy this is why he’s my favorite rapper of all time only 2nd to Eminem you hear dat man flow boi untouchable and Jack was vibin’ too I can tell you felt Biggie’s bars in yo soul lol😆👊🏽🐐👑🔥💯#KingOfNY
I’ve been waiting on this!🔥 This was back when everybody had serious bass or “beat” in their trunk. That whole summer you could always hear somebody bumping this a mile away! #bestoftimes
1 of my fav's ever...u knew it immediately J, in the pocket n all...we all did also...ride too it, let ur lady friend hear it..you'll both appreciate it..1. d.c.
This song is a classic.
This song will forever hit.
CLASSIC!!!!!
I remember the interlude on the CD.. When Keisha (whose married to Omar Epps) was having a "Happy Moment" and the guy was banging on the bathroom door..
This is Total’s debut single. When this single popped off it POPPED OFF! A new era began with this shit right here.
Facts!!!
Yup!
I still have their CD
@@hpierce21 same
The era where women can have swag like men and still be sexy at the same damn time❤
Well said!
FAAAACCCTTTSSS
Yess. That era could never be repeated, It was so authentic. Its a mess right now.
If you don't know ....lol
Ok?! I was 15 when this came out and remember thinking " they are so cool AND fine!" The same vibe Aaliyah gave....sexy, yet cool.
"I seen it when he kissed him at the wake, made his body shake" -BIG
Loungin- LL Cool J ft Total is a must
Yes... yes, it is... 😂
Good call!
Now that was my jam
IT SURE THE FUCK IS lol. There was a time in my life where I couldn't even start my day UNTIL I heard Loungin' at least twice.
Who do you luuuuv are youuu fooor sure.? At the gym on the stairmaster.
The girl who sang first is Omar Epps wife
I'm SOOO glad I grew up in the 90s 🥰
Yea me too!!
Amen to that
Same
Now you gotta do 112 ft Biggie - only you.
Only you remix
This was before Bad Boy took over. Before Faith Evans. Up to this point Biggie had just dropped two singles. Juicy. And Big Poppa. But man this is when that crew said WE HERE!
Back when you recorded song off the radio for your voicemail! And Diddy bop was a must!
I was waiting for jack to hit the diddy bop! 😁
💯💯💯 I MISS THEM DAYS!!! I was 15 in 95’ and I would go back to them days in a heartbeat💯💯💯
@@hairchick9069 Diddy kids can't Diddy bop lol 😆
@@666blackcarbon9 oh for sure no questions!
Haha! I used to do that! I had my own phone line when I was in high school you couldn't tell me nothing 😄😄
Been my song since 5th grade
Jack : "this song better be fire"
Song : got your fire proof suit on? 😅
They don't make music like this anymore.
lol you think
Bruh by allowing Biggie to open it up he just made 'Total' look like the afterthought!
They took the beat from the James Brown classic The Big Payback and made this hit.
Where would 90s hip hop be without sampling the greats!
Big comes in so HARD.....u couldn't Even get past the opening part 💀 it's so good
When Jack said “this shit’s crazy!” I was cheesing hella hard thinking ‘he didn’t even get to the hook yet...’ 😁😁😂😂😂
I felt the same way when this first came out. Classic!! There will never be another Biggie Smalls. Legend!!
FINALLY!! As soon as that beat drops & Biggie starts flowing....🔥🔥🔥🔥
Kome on!!!💥💥💥💥
This flow from Biggie was just a walk in the studio freestyle from the top of his head
The era of Puffy dancing in all of his artists video's! LOL
todays rap will NEVER touch what we had in the 90s and 2000s..
100%
For real glad I was born in 91...
@@bonginkosigumede5389 ture
You mean 80’s and 90’s
"Can't You See" is signature Bad Boy flavor! I played this song OUT in high school!!!!! ❤
One the most 90s song ever, LOVE! This is still fire as hell
Maaaaan 💚
“BIGGIE”🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
“95’ RIDICULOUS!”
YAYYYY!! Total has been one of my fav groups and this song is amazing nostalgic for us 80’s babies growing up in the 90’s! 😜🔥🔥🔥🔥🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
I swear!! '83 baby here!! the 90s were insane!!!
Diddy was a game changer. He was able to merge swag, hip hop, and R & B perfectly.
Exactly 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 only you remix is another hit example
Loungin- LL Cool J ft Total
Please do this song
Yes!
Very much needed
Big song!
Yes! and Hey Lover ft. Boyz II Men
My rap lines is like land mines - one step kaboom 💥 black suits fill the room. “ BRUH…….
This was THE song. I remember playing this loud in the car with my friends on the way to the club. Those times were beyond fun! 🔥🔥🔥
This was/is my jam. Fav rapper, Total KILLS it, and all to my man James Brown’s beat. It’s impossible to go harder on a R&B track.
3:03 unpopular opinion: Diddy’s ad libs are hype as hell. It’s just the fact that he’s so untalented compared to all the other artists that people find it annoying
I have ALWAYS loved Puffs ad libs!!! All because Suge Knight’s b*tch a$$ made that 1 comment, people ran with it... #NotMe!!!
Suge was the only one not doing it. Jermaine, Timbaland, Pharrell was all doing it so clearly Suge didn't know what he was talking about.
I know Diddy had the fire adlibs and even a couple fire verses written for him. People just hate, but they were not complaining back in the day. He’s certainly talented in marketing and knowing what the culture wanted. He was never really taking himself seriously as an artist, he lost his biggest artist and was forced to find a way to still be successful.
@@reggiebrown9508 Plus Suge wasn't a producer/record man...that's the one up Puff had on a Suge
you can't go any deeper into hip hop than this song
This song was and is still🔥🔥🔥! I always loved to see Diddy's dancing and talking in the background. Diddy is definitely a talented man. His business practice's are questionable, but he really helped in the success of his talent.
The beat is a sample of “big payback” by James Brown.
90s please come back 😢
Bad Boy era was fireeee !! Total, Mase, 112, Carl Thomas, Faith Evans, BIG !
React to Mase - What you Want
AND, Of course ! Nasty Girl - BIG, Diddy, Nelly, Jagged Edge !!! OMG this song
This song ALWAYS puts me in a great mood
they're sampling James Brown's The Payback
This dude is my new favorite reaction channel because he respects the era of real music
Please react to Total: No one else (P Diddy remix) ft DaBrat, Lil Kim & Foxy Brown.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
When foxy took that first verse....she ate and left no crumbs!
Yes!!!😄
This song came out on in '95 and it's still FIREEEEE!!!! One of the best years in hip hop.
You know when Jack makes the stank face he's FEELIN' it!!!!!!
You can’t help but to dance and move to this. I see you Jack Reacts.
Dude I didn’t know you reacted to Total. Wow you know your 90s music. Love you bro.

Bro 90s rap was everything I glad I was around in that era...
You won't get this type of music today youngin. This is what we called..a jam
Yes this song is legendary idc idc. This record is timeless. Everybody did their thing on this record.
"You just don't know what you do to me."
Say what???!
This is why 90's hip hop is missed so much. Look at the background of what was coming out then. Mobb Deep. Mary J My Life, The Roots, 2Pac Me Against The World. It was crazy!

Just found you channel, subscribed. Total definitely one of my favorite groups, this was my era. Love your reaction!
Bad Boy was a power house back then. Everybody in that label was on their A game. They had that grown up vibe. I miss this era.
This song has that New York vibe!
Finally!!!! So glad you did this song. I still rock out to it whenever I hear it.

A track off the 90s movie soundtrack New Jersey Drive. 1995
This song was _so huge_ when it first came out! Dope asf. ❤️❤️❤️
Jack can dance 😎
I remember my reaction 1995 when I first listen this song . I was shocked!!! After 20 seconds I was dancing around. I was 18 years old...
Lol! Pam doesn't have an effect on her vocals. That's naturally all her her. Her voice was very unique
Notorious B.I.G feat Jagged Edge Diddy ...Nasty Girl
And Nelly ! 😱
That Hypnotize comparison was perfect. It’s like Biggie was already in mid verse at bar one.
Next - “Too Close”
One of the best R&B club songs of 1998
One of the best female r&b groups of all times in my opinion. They didn’t get to make a lot of albums and singles but the ones they did make are all classics in one way or another.🔥🔥🔥
