Holy... crap... I've been looking for this song for 25 years. I heard it once on a Detroit Radio Station in 1992... and I thought it was a figment of my imagination! AWESOME.
I love this song!!! I was in love with Tajh & Hakim. I thought the video was Dope back in the day and still is. All 4 brothers are truly talented and I'd like to say Thanks for making great music!
"The Saga Continues" has The Boys sounding like N.W.A. meets Jackson 5. (and Bugs Bunny) Sounds like The Boys were big fans of the N.W.A. album "Efil4zaggiN". If you listen to the songs "Alwayz Into Somethin" and "100 Miles & Runnin", you hear the influence here. Hak even samples the ending to the song "Findum, Fuckum, & Flee" and even samples a drum break from the Melvin Bliss song "Synthetic Substitution" like N.W.A. After this album, they moved and became The Suns Of Light in Africa.
i love the dance routine of this video. these guys r soo good. av spent the whole week/weekend watching all their vidoes; every single one of them. and i'm not done.
Somebody in the comments below mentioned that the father took them and moved to Africa because he was afraid of the direction that they were headed in and I would have been too. I was only in the first grade when this came out, but when I listen to it as both an adult and a mother, I can't believe of any parent that would have approved of this. A thirteen year old boy talking about how he wants a woman with a big booty, then having women approach these underage teen boys as if they were men? There were also references made about sex in other songs on the album. The only person I would excuse was the oldest brother who would have been nineteen because he was an adult. However, all of these other ones were age 16 and under. If the roles were reversed and they were girls singing about men with men being all over them, we would be outraged. I'm sorry, but this whole album and video looked like they were directed by a pervert.
When I saw this, my mouth was open because I was disappointed in them trying so hard to be like Jodeci. They didn't have to do that. I still liked Tahj, but I was like, "Please don't compare yourself to Devante Swing. That's not you."
Yeah, I was shock too when this video came out. I brought their album to support them, but it kind of turned me off with the bootie talk and hitting the skins. At that time, I was 15 yrs old about the same age as Tajh. I think they were trying too hard to act grown up.
I liked their last album. I had this one.. Been trying to find it again and it's close to impossible to find. Found a couple copies on amazon.. Just to have for my records..LOL old school memories!!
the whole time period had all of the talented young men jammin look at usher they call me a mack... had all of them dressing/acting older than their years. look at Usher now though just proves that it can be done with proper managemnent never mind before "my way"..
Their dad was very Afrocentric and he was adamant about them portraying the culture in a positive light. So he wasn't happy about the direction in which the label was pressuring the boys to go, so he uprooted the whole family and the boys' careers and they moved to Africa.
This is when I officially lost interest in the guys. They had to grow up, I knew that but I wasn't ready for it then. Now looking back, this was far more tamed than the shit we have crammed down our throats by BET on a daily basis.
yall havent said nothing but a word. I was mad when i heard this song. I was like WHAT like some old lady. I love the boys.. I will have to check out their new stuff. but yeah.. i second what you guys said.
See, I'm going to have to disagree. Hakim had to be 16 almost 17 when this came out. Tajh, maybe 15? (15 year old boys still like cuties with nice round booties.) They just looked young and I think people had a hard time with the visuals (the video). But the lyrics aren't really that inappropriate. They were growing up, that's what teenagers do.
You are exactly correct. The album was great, but the Boys grew up too fast for many. "hitting skins and big bootys" were a little too much for Motown.
Loved this song. Have this album. I always disliked the fact that they had grown women in this video. My mom sure did not like it either! The boys will always be my fave boy group though.
this video don't fit them at all, the label was trying to change them and they weren't feeling it at all so they left motown/mca I remember them having a tv during the summer before this album came out. I think Steve Harvey played their father
LOL>...how the heck they go from dial my heart to I'm looking for the girl with the nice round booty...LOL i remember this song but never saw the video..wasnt he still like 16 talking about im a man ...a real man...LOL
Im an idiot !!!!! I had about 4 VHS cassettes with tons of videos from 1991 - 95 In the end i deleted them because i just thought they'd always come back / be on tv. I was 12- 13 I used to pause & record only the good ones.. had some amazing tunes from B.E.T , Yo MTV raps etc some that arent on youtube and will be forgotten..
I am like the biggest fan of The Boys ;) I'm only 18 so naturally I wasn't listening to them when they were out...but what a blessing I know about them now :D
I love the beat and it's truly sad that this was their final video cause they were really good. But dang, these boys went a bit too far in trying to be edgy
This was like the beginning of the end for them. No one could really take them serious after this. Sad trap that comes with being child stars, no one really wants to see you grow up. Well, there's that, and this particular song just wasn't that good.
Not trying to be a hater or anything but their third album I didn’t really like it too much and I can understand why it probably didn’t do that great anyway it makes me wonder whoever the producers are must be crazy somebody must be a pervert song doing it with the b I’m sorry but who told him it’s OK to talk like that he’s only 13 talking about it to a young girl wtf? . glad I never sang one of the songs .
Holy... crap... I've been looking for this song for 25 years. I heard it once on a Detroit Radio Station in 1992... and I thought it was a figment of my imagination! AWESOME.
really?
This song has one of the best bridges I've ever heard.
Julian Hills agreed! Fantastic!
that baby ain't even old enough to drive the damn car never miond singing in soprano his voice hasn't changed yet. I still love this song..
I love this song!!! I was in love with Tajh & Hakim. I thought the video was Dope back in the day and still is. All 4 brothers are truly talented and I'd like to say Thanks for making great music!

Omg this was the jam. Video and song was banging and that bridge was everything. Thank you for an amazing song.
Khiry"The King" was born in 1973 Hakim was born in 1975 Tajh was born in 1976 and Bilal born in 1979. The Boys are now The Men aka Suns of Light.
Wow, I´m impressed with Tahj´s singing from 3:50 to 4:07, he´s amazing!!!
I miss these days with video soul with Donnie Simpson and Video Vibrations
I can't front, this was my jam
i love the dance routine of this video. these guys r soo good. av spent the whole week/weekend watching all their vidoes; every single one of them. and i'm not done.

Michelle Smith I love this song but it is hella inappropriate! You are right, roles reversed and it was girls, we'd be pissed!

Yo They Swag Was On Point In The 90's 😍😩 Take Us Back Plz! #Tahj #Hakim #Bilal #Khiry 💜
This was the best song "The Boys" ever made!
Yeah, I was shock too when this video came out. I brought their album to support them, but it kind of turned me off with the bootie talk and hitting the skins. At that time, I was 15 yrs old about the same age as Tajh. I think they were trying too hard to act grown up.
it was so weird when I first heard this song. I wasnt used to them singing about booty lol
I liked their last album. I had this one.. Been trying to find it again and it's close to impossible to find. Found a couple copies on amazon.. Just to have for my records..LOL old school memories!!
the whole time period had all of the talented young men jammin look at usher they call me a mack... had all of them dressing/acting older than their years. look at Usher now though just proves that it can be done with proper managemnent never mind before "my way"..
LOVED The Boys back then...still do. Watching this video I was thinking...did I have a dance routine to ALL of their songs, lol. Much love SOL!
Their dad was very Afrocentric and he was adamant about them portraying the culture in a positive light. So he wasn't happy about the direction in which the label was pressuring the boys to go, so he uprooted the whole family and the boys' careers and they moved to Africa.
Jheri Curl Jankins The Boys decided to go to Africa on their own. Their father only brought their music equipment down for them.
They had so much talent!
This is when I officially lost interest in the guys. They had to grow up, I knew that but I wasn't ready for it then. Now looking back, this was far more tamed than the shit we have crammed down our throats by BET on a daily basis.

Yes I agree some people just couldn't accept the fact that they were growing up. I liked this grown up sexier image of the boys.
I remember seeing this on VH1 Soul a few years back.
On the Soul School block?
@@eleven.29 Yep.
Although their 3rd album wasn't a commercial success, this song I believe still managed to crack the top 40 on Billboard's R&B singles charts.
This song was the jam! OMG!!!! Love it!!!!
I have been looking for this song for years !! So glad i checked youtube.
You are exactly correct. The album was great, but the Boys grew up too fast for many. "hitting skins and big bootys" were a little too much for Motown.
OMG I was in love with Hak...me and my best friend use to fight over him :-)
Loved this song. Have this album. I always disliked the fact that they had grown women in this video. My mom sure did not like it either! The boys will always be my fave boy group though.
The Hip-Hop version of Raymond Scott's "Powerhouse". DOPE!
this video don't fit them at all, the label was trying to change them and they weren't feeling it at all so they left motown/mca
I remember them having a tv during the summer before this album came out. I think Steve Harvey played their father
Ohoo yea baby boys all grawn up old school music video s rock heather pastor
the best part of the song is when tahj is singin even though i dont know what he sayin:)
I wanna rock your girl lol that run was sick lol
whats that song at the end? thats hot..
I wish these guys come back
thanks, man! i love this video! keep up the good work.
I just remembered the older brothers were in the begining of Micheal Jackson bad video
LOL>...how the heck they go from dial my heart to I'm looking for the girl with the nice round booty...LOL
i remember this song but never saw the video..wasnt he still like 16 talking about im a man ...a real man...LOL
@sugafree0107 none of them were comfortable with this, the record label made them do it. thats why they left the music industry after this album :-(
this was the last video
he still sounds the same and its still beautiful
Is that the cat from POV on the reggae flavor? I think Hakeem did some of their tracks.
Tahj got some big hands!! @ 2:09
around 91 or 92' this was the jam!
I thought The Boys left Motown.
Im an idiot !!!!!
I had about 4 VHS cassettes with tons of videos from 1991 - 95
In the end i deleted them because i just thought they'd always come back / be on tv. I was 12- 13
I used to pause & record only the good ones.. had some amazing tunes from B.E.T , Yo MTV raps etc some that arent on youtube and will be forgotten..
throwback
Take Us Back To The 90's
I am like the biggest fan of The Boys ;) I'm only 18 so naturally I wasn't listening to them when they were out...but what a blessing I know about them now :D
I love the beat and it's truly sad that this was their final video cause they were really good. But dang, these boys went a bit too far in trying to be edgy
