And for people to say that the video is ghetto and she needs to back to the old days….HELLO!!!! Monica is just hood. She has been hood for a VERY long time. She used to date C-Murder and hang with No-Limit. Mia-X is her best friend so get you story straight people. Monica ain’t new to this, she true to this. LOL

^^^needs to go back i mean..Sorry

@ 76 - She sure is a thugged out pro. Anybody who think Monica is a shy little thang that’s just now hanging with roughnecks don’t know shit about her.

Hate to bring it up but….Here we go with all them tattoos. Guess they don’t say anything about her, huh?

it was ok she cant dacne though

@ real2real,

so u saying anyone with “all them tattoos” is ghetto?

The video is great, the song should grow on me. Monica could do better, though.

@78 & 76 WE KNOW THAT MONICA HAS BEEN THUGGED OUT FOR A MINUTE. WE KNOW THAT SHE DATED C-MURDER, I PERSONALLY KNOW THAT SHE DATED A WELL-KNOW DOPE BOY IN ZONE-3 ATL THAT COMMITTED SUICIDE (JARVIS) WHICH SHE HAD A LITTLE GIRL BY IN 96″ OR 97″. WE THINK SHE IS TOO SUCCESSFUL FOR THIS THUGGED OUT SHIT. THAT’S ALL! YOU ARE WHAT YOU ARE!

Bring back old Monica. Being ghetto is just not believeable on her

MONICA LOOKS LIKE A BAG OF BONES SHE NEED TO EAT A MEAL A.S.A.P

I still do not like that song

@ #46 God bless you and your family.

I loved Monica’s old music i.e street symphony. that was hot.

This song just bit Grillz off for its beat.

I liked it. I like Monica since she debuted @ age 15 anyway.

I thought the video would make me like the song. I rather have the old monica. She has been in the game for 10yrs and it seems she still trying to find out how to fit in. I am still going to support and buy the album when it comes out in hopes to see some growth in her and her music. I’ll just wait for the second single.

I’ve always loved monica but I’m not feeling this song. It’s way beneath her. The snap music was cute for cherish, but monica’s been in the game for a minute. She’s to talented and established to be jumping on trends. This song woul’ve been hot like a year ago, but know it’s just played out. I hope the rest of her album is better…because she has one of those classic voices that never go out of style. I still play her first CD

BTW whoever mentioned how hot Brandy’s last CD was…I second that! That had to be one of the most slept on CD’s of all time. You can play it from beginning to end. I hope her next album is just as hot or even better.

the song is str8, the beat is hot, the dancing wuz good, but imma need monica to go tak dance lessons cuz homegirl cant dance. LOL

I found those A t-shirts if anyone cares to know. http://www.bluleaf.com

Booooring!! I’ve always liked Monica but she’s gonna have to come harder than that with the ladies dropping albums this quarter. She needs to step it up!

i remember the ole monica…just one of em days…she still in the game…you gotta give her props for that

but she aint doing much with the pink outfit…like a little girl trying on mommy’s clothes

lol @caff i completely agree wit you all the music today is the same, and i hate that everyones dyin their hair blond its not cute she looks a million times better with dark hair and so does beyonce and everyone else

Just in case you missed what I was saying, I am saying that some people are saying how the “new” monica is ghetto, i.e. the posts below:

#59 said “Stop lying this video and the new Monica is a HOT mess.”
#56 said “She is acting so ghetto and the video is ghetto.” and “I don’t like this Monica. Bring back the talented Monica.”
#31 sid “Hot ass mess too ghetto for my taste no class” and “Ghetto Ghetto Ghetto Ghetto you can take them out the ghetto but you cant take the ghetto out of them”

You contradicting yourself. 1st you say she too successful for this “thugged out $hit”. Then you say but “you are what you are” (which is true).

Monica is being herself. Get wit it or leave it. That’s all u gotta do.

I like monica even though i question some of her choices in men. I dont know what to say bout Rocko he cool i guess. I liked the video even doe franchise need to commit mass suicide! Caff did you know Lupe cant even skate for real! He a good rapper doe!

This video has the same thing going on as the soldier video.

Monica deserves better than some soldier video left overs.

the video was good. it was definately what i expected from monica, attitude. i liked it.

especially all these dances is all these videos i cant stand, its like if you make up your own dance hav wack rappers on it you’ll hav a huge hit, i nearly shot myself when i saw their was another dance, THE CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP DANCE. omg what is music comin to!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

nice song…dumb video

ohhhh yeah..monica is not thugged out but of course i forgot putting a doorag on your babies head in an Easter picture is thugged out…sorry!

Song and video..unimpressive. She looked good though. She ain’t got enough body for all those tats. What happened to her, she was so talented.
I like the special effects..that was it.

I like Monica but I do not like the song or the video. I found them both to be quite boring and no originality. Also, I am tired of this finger popping and the same type of dances we see from every ATL artist. No offense to ATL artist but the shit is getting played.

Am I the only one who thinks that Monica is a hood rat?

so she’s proud of her tats now and not trying to hide them with random pieces of cloth, good job.

OKAY BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO….WAS IT JUST ME OR DID THAT LOOK LIKE THE FUCKING SOLDIER VIDEO…WACK…AND SHE SHOULD HAVE KEPT HER HEAIR BLACK…CAUSE SHE LOOKS DISGUSTING WIT THAT BLOND HAIR….ANYWHO, DONT LIKE THE SONG OR THE VIBE OF IT, NOTHING ORIGINAL,….TEAM BEYONCE ALL DAY!!!!!

I am kinda disappointed in this video. It was okay, but Monica has done SO much better than that. And is it me or has she lost TOO MUCH DAMN WEIGHT?! Monica use to have some meat on her bones and breasts. Now she doesn’t have either!!!

That girl has a voice on her and there’s nothing wrong with tattoos but gotdamn!!!!! Her boney ass does not need all of those tatts!!!!!!!!! That looks slack!

I know what Monica has no body gotdamn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She needs a sandwich!

Monica has no figure. I wonder if her ass looks like kimora’s? However, the girl has a bad as style.

Them dudes is horrible, I like the old monica more.
Enough with this snap music.

wack…

lol at Monica saying that Ray Kay has this awsome treatment for her video.. yeah monica.. making it look like soldier.. real great concept!!!..boooo

i miss tha old monica coz dis lookz like bull shit to me…

#28 Thank you you saved me the time. I turned it off after 10 seconds.
If you’re going to do snap music (and that’s a debate right there) at least make it SNAPPY!!!!!
And Monica…this is beneath you know. I know you from the ATL do something with Outkast!!!

Co-signs with #37.

(#58) Now that I think of it, all of Keyshia Cole’s songs sound like they could of been sung by Monica. “I Changed My Mind”, “Love” and “I Just Want it to be Over”. But Monica can sing circles around KC though, best believe. Her voice is pleasant, lol ‘Before you walk out my life’…WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT?! Angel of Mine. First Night. And what about that song she did for the Space Jam soundtrack? ‘For you I will’. It seems that music altogether has been sinking into an abyss. And dont even get me started with the music videos, lol

M E RENEGADE, what is your point? So what she’s been out longer and she’s on her fourth [album]? What signifcance does that hold, besides the fact that its a rare attribute that *some* artists choose to not overexpose themselves by coming out with an album every year? Alica Keys knows. Usher did too (until he decided to come out with that horrid movie. It was way too early for the public to see him again. After Confessions you gotta have a loooooong break).

I straight LOATHE that video and song, so it will probably sell MILLIONS! JD trying to market that snap shit everywhere. I can’t imagine anybody over 16 liking that shit. I like Monica better as a sassy R&B chick.

it was alright i thought it could have been better but that’s what you get out of monica!….

she is toooooooooooooooooo damn skinny she do not look good at all what happen to the baby making her gain weight i do not like that damn cheap ass video nor her make-up or hair it’s a remake of the soldier video by destiny childs

0LD M0NICa..THASS WHASSUP…THIS CURRENT M0NICA…NEXT! STILL L0VE HER AN’ ALL’ BUT I AGREE WETHER SHE BEEN H00D THA WH0LE TIME 0R W/E, D0N’T MATTER. THA C0NVERSI0N SHE MADE IN HER IMAGE AS WE SEE HER N0W FR0M H0W SHE ACTED PRI0R TO THIS AIN’T H0T.

I wish Monica was singin’ about something, she has such a powerful voice. Instead she singin’ about nothing…

foxy3800 said: @ real2real, so u saying anyone with “all them tattoos” is ghetto?

Well, from my previous posts you will see that I am not a fan of the tat. No, it does not MAKE you ghetto. But I personally ain’t feeling it, especially if it’s visible on a woman. Some things should be hidden.

Ever see a chick with a tat on her neck? Be honest and tell me what’s the first thing you think of her (Keyshia Cole for example). You right off the bat know she’s from the hood. Visible tats scream “look at me” and I just associate it with the hood, which could be ghetto. But no, I’m not saying that only ghetto chicks get tats becuase I know rich people got tats too. I’m sayin that I hate to see a beautiful sista cover her body with that type of “art”. What that shit gonna look like when she’s 60, 70, or even 80? YUCK!

@real2real,

Yes I agree with you. For a female to have big tatts or alot of tatts is very unattractive. But you are right, that does not make them ghetto. Because I know I have seen alot of “other people” who have tatts all over as well but that doesn’t mean they are ghetto. But I do agree that it’s not attravive for females.

Oh well Monica is gonna be Monica, You can love it or hate it. I see a split on this one, me myself i love Monica to def and if she wants to step out her comfort zone so be it. Go Mo youll get my support no matter.

i hate when people say that franchise boys killed hip-hop, that is sooooo stupid…..look at music today,damn near everybody in hip hop killed it, and still are!! let that shit go….

monica song and video suck….BORING and she looks like Mary J

WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Y IS MONICA SO DAM SKINNY

108,At a point Monica hid her tattos cause she didn’t want nobody to see what it was she was hiding.She showing them now cause everybody else is doing the same thing now and thats “whats hot”.Music is so repetive these days I don’t know if I’m just listening to part 12 or 15s because of this snap!And whatever you all say Monica is not ghetto,she would of acted ghetto when she came out.You don’t see Brandy acting ghetto because everybody else does it.She being herself.I understand change,but lets be real here.

Monica, we know you the shyt, but girl… you gotta eat. I dont know what go on behind the scenes but it seems like in the music and acting industry, weight is a HUGE factor. its unfortunate because sum of these females dont see how sick they look. just my opinion.

the video and song is alright. good to see her back tho. all this snap music makes me think of the snapple commercial LOL i dunno. getting kind of tried of it…

HI EVERYONE!WELCOME BACK MONICA. IN THE VIDEO THAT GURL THAT WAS DANCIN I KNOW SHE WAS TIRED. DO YA THANG MONICA

sorry yall but i hafta speak da truth about this video and monica first of all she suck in dis one to dam skinny hair is raggety and dat dam baby y tell me y did she have a doo rag on dat 1yr olds head on national tv (106 access granted go and start all over again monica and im not a hater she all ways checkn folk she need to check hur self on dis one 4 sho lolololololololo

ray kays videos always look like his depiction of urban hip hop lifestyle. Its so stereotypical. A bunch of u kno whos standing around doing nothing. Also the song sounds like they ripped off Brooke Valentines D Girl beat. But no one noticed cuz shes not that big yet. What up H- Town!!!

Monica did tha damnt thang in this video the dancing is off the hook glad to see my girl back out on her grind. Much Love To Ya Monica all we need now is Brandy back and its over

lmao At # 15 my husband said the same thing..Welcome back Monica i’m soooooooo tired of the same old faces trying to run the music world…. there is room for all

I love this hit by Monica. The beat goes hard. I like the ATL flava in this jam. Monica did right by bringing out a snap song first, cause we are in this snap era right now, anything else wouldn’t be right. She did her thang, and she have the dancers doing their thang. All props to Monica. I think this song is going to hit the charts high, Franchise Boyz did, Lil Jon did, and Cherish did. Big up to snap music.

monica looks really skinny in this video and when it ends she puts that look on her face and keeps nodding it to the side,eww i just wanna knock her damn head off when she does that.then on top of that her boney ass legs cant dance.her legs look like toothpicks with skinny jeans on,discusting,the songs fine but the video isnt all that

i think every time the beat drops is cool but she could do better

AMAZING!

amazing.

DFB went crazy wit diz song expesialy Pimpin and Parlae and Monica to they made this song sound like da shit i mean the beatz r dub tha words are rhyme wat else do u expect 4rm DFB they like da shit
