Yes Bobbito I knew it was him from the jump. I’m too much of a Wire addict.

I love the song. I like the video, but I do feel that she could have put just a little bit more into it. But all in all, Monica’s album is hot, and I advise everyone to take a good listen to it! She did her thang!

I’m not a big fan of the song, nor the video. However I love Monica’s voice. She’s one of the few in the industry that can carry a note well without have it digitally remastered. I expected more from her in this video.

This is for #40 read this MONICA IS BORDERLINE ANOREXIC SHE IN MY OPINION IS TOO SKINNY,there is a difference with slimness and just plain BONY. I happen to be a slim woman but I have hips and ass so there is a difference. I agree with your comment #49 thank you!

I love that song! I wish J Records would step they game up on the promotion!

I don’t know why everybody trippin about her being small so what it’s nothing new. In the industry her size is considered perfect. Her weight don’t have anything to do with her talent only the real can identify with her music.

You’re funny PrettyGirl86, b/c I thought the same thing. That this video is stealing from other ones. When I saw her laying on the floor trying to look sexy I thought of kelis’ video for Bossy, I knew there were other videos and you reminded me of Gwen Stefani’s video and someone else said Ashanti. Then when I saw her hair curly I thought of Letoya’s, She Don’t video. I like many of the posters used to love Monica’s sound but I just can’t get into her right now. This song is okay but it’s not the “sanging” Monica that I’m used to with the strong ballads.

THE VIDEO IS HOTTT AND MONICA IS A PETITE GIRL BUT STILL SEXY(EVERYBODY DONT WANNA SEE NO FLAB HANGING OFF) SHE JUST THE RIGHT SIZE.
MONICA SHOWCASE HER VOCALS AND DID THE SONG JUSTICE.
TO PEOPLE THAT TALKING ABOUT HER LYRICS, EVERYTHING A SINGER SINGS ABOUT DONT HAVE TO BE SERIOUS, I BET YOUR FAV SINGER HAS SOME LYRICS TOO THAT ARE QUESTIONABLE????????????????????
ALMOST EVERY SINGER HAS SHOWN SOME SKIN(BEE,ASHANTI,BRANDY,TAMIA,MYA,JANET,CIARA,ETC,ETC,ETC,AND SHOULD I GO ON) MONICA DID IT YES, BUT SHE DID IT CLASSY NOT TRASHY SWEETIES THERES A DIFFERENCE
MONICA THE VIDEO IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL AND YOUR A REAL SANGER………………………….PERIOD,
YOUR GORGEOUS AND KEEP DOING YOU, GO MO STAND TALL GIRL.

htown,agree.i miss the old monica,i think she had to step up her game because of these non singing chicks today.oh well thats my opinion.i like the song though even though I’m trying to understand the gucci shoes part.

Yeah…… the song is okay and the video is okay… but thats about it.

#80 - Brandi… it ain’t nothing on that record to promote. J records ain’t stupid. Monica was to drop this mess.

Monica’s music career is dead. Just face the facts that the girl is 10 minutes late on everything. Please lets not talk about her weight again.

I don’t think Monica looks bad cause she so skinny…she’s pretty. of course she WOULD look betta with some more curves..but oh well, not a bad look Monica! and she can SING.

the video is nice and ghetto (minus the gucci shoes) lol.

eew that tatto on her leg threw it off though fa real

I GUESS MONICA CAN’T HANDLE BEING AN INDIVIDUAL ANYMORE SHE HAS TO BE A FOLLOWER!!! A SLUT AT THAT….BEYONCE, ASANTI, AMERIE, SHOULD I GO ON……..NASTY PUT SOME CLOTHES ON! ALL THE RESPECT I DID HAVE FOR MONICA IS GONE, AND YOU HAVE A WHITE JESUS ON YOUR (SAD AND CONFUSED) ARM AND ROLLING AROUND LIKE A TRASHY WHORE, YOURE A BLACK WOMAN AND A MOTHER WHAT AN EXAMPLE….SO DISAPPOINTED, I USED TO LOVE HER FOR THE OPPOSITE REASON THAT I DISLIKE HER NOW, SHE DIDNT NEED TO STOOP SO LOW–BEYONCE IS GETTING TO THE BEST OF THEM!

I don’t like the song at all… but the video is kina cute. Monica looks FABULOUS! She is absolutely gorgeous with the darker hair… makes me think of the old school Monica.

Damn, can Monica get a break?? This is first time she’s ever showed so much skin and she didn’t look nasty either. I think she looks great. Rock on Monica!

i’m not really feeling the song or video. monica can do a million times better than this.

Don’t know who that dude was in the video but D@MN he ugly. NE Way, I like this song and she looks absolutely pretty in the video. Love the hair color. Really wasn’t feeling the bed scene. I guess she is trying to be sexy for the men but Monica you skinny girl. LOL My ole man said last night while we were watching the making of the video…well actually he told me to turn the channel because he didn’t want to see Mo skinny a$$. Which I thought was rude b/c when we were watching the Hip Hop Awards he eyes were glued to the TV when the strippers were dancing on the pole during Young Jeezy performance. So Mo I dont think guys find you sexy but maybe I’m wrong. I still love ya girl! TEAM MONICA!

^^his eyes were…

HATERS! Monica finally grows up to 26, and now folk still want her to be 13 again. Get over it.

She has a 16 month old son, and is still 110. Why are we discussing her body? Would it be better if she got some breast implants?

MONICA you’re beautiful, and thanks to both you and Beyonce for changing up the game a little. If I hear one more ‘unsung’ song w/ a lot of production, video with too much dancing, w/ someone who can’t perform or doesn’t know who they are yetI’m going to lose my mind.

I love Monica’s new CD. Matter of fact, “A Dozen Roses” and “Why Her” are my favorite cuts.

However, I am not feeling the video - too blahhhhhh.
I HATE her hair. Shit, you rockin Gucci shoes but can’t find a style and or color that suits you?
Out of all them fabulous salons/stylists in the ATL??

IMO she tries WAY to hard to be sexy, it’s sickening.
Real sex appeal does not require a lot of effort.
Looks like a few too many people told her that she has a pretty (or sexy) smile. You can tell that compliment went to her head. Watch the vid again and check out how she smiles at the camera.

Them some big ass chompers, Monica.

I think monica is so damn pretty and her album has nothing but great songs all the way through I didn’t skip not one song. Plus to all the haters stop bitin monica please and so what if she did things on her video that others did on theirs it happens all the time. Oh and to anyone who thinks her body is nasty it’s not don’t hate cause you ain’t trim and slim. No offense I love big girls!!

i think monica is doing her thing.. she’s acting sexy cuz she feels sexy with the new love in her life and a beautiful child… u know good love in your life can make u feel like that! plus now she’s a grown woman… i would be worried if it was one of these lil young fast behind girls rollin’ around naked as u know they do.

she’s always been skinny but she working with what she has… any woman at anysize she play up what she feels are her best attributes. otherwise we’d be in here talking about how uncomfortable she looks in her own skin… i prefer not to have a lot of tatoo’s but i respect that she got her no matter what the industry told her what was “proper” for a young woman to do. she’s just being herself. i really like that song and the video was cool.

oh yeah i love chocolatey men!!!!!

erbody give it up for sexual chocolate!!!!!

DAT IS MY SONG….She looks extremly Beautiful..GO MONICA! “Raw” should be the next cut…*Mel*

You Hater’s NEED TO CUT IT OUT…Monica is doing her thing…It doesn’t matter what size she is…The song is Hot…so is her album…I think Most people dig the song if they can relate to it…& I can…What she’S basically sayin is her GUY is like an acessary..I can dig it…Keep doing ya thing MO!

Hatin is a FULL time Job… Get on it!
DO YA THING MO!

serious can someone answer me:

what is ‘butter on my strip’?

what monica got marlo up in it. i just got hooked on tv show ‘the wire’. i know its been around how long? well i was pregnant when it first came out and i was not trying to hear that at that time. i was very itchy at that time. if yall know what i mean — to all the mothers out there including monica i applaud! it ain’t easy! nice video monica! she’s back!

This song is beneath Monica. She can do better than that.

Man, I hate saying this but Monica singles so far is beneath her
Monica is a very taleted woman who is trying too hard to be sexy when she don’t need to
I know sex sells but Monica’s voice will sell CD’s not being half naked in her video
Very disappointed in her singles and videos
I miss Monica’s old vibe like “Before you walk out of my life” days

where are the haters?

^^^ I consign with you. I didn’t read your post
Thanks Tianna for posting the video

#101. She says
“Butter on my shrimp/ I’m Gladys you the Pip
I keep my hair flipped/
The way you like to see me strip

I haven’t watched the wire since befire Idris was taken off, so I didn’t know who that guy was. But that last shot of him was UGLY, he was channeling AKON, ashy lips and all.

Anyways, Monica is SO pretty! It is obvious she has become a woman now.

I like this song IN SPITE OF MYSELF - the melody, the Mayfield sample, great. I have a problem with the comparison to Gucci shoes, and tight jeans? But that is who Monica is today. There isn’t a lot of substance anymore. Yet she still has an undeniable touch she adds that makes the most contrary things likeable.

I agree and completely understand most people when they say they preferred the old Monica - Even 14 year-old Monica. First off, that was NO average 14-year-old. I’m 27, a year older than she is now, and I have been a fan since age 15, when she dropped. Songs like, ‘Before You Walk Out of My Life’, and Just One of Dem Days, still apply to my 27-year-old self. Even the ‘Boy is Mine’ album had more substance and meaning. ‘Angel of Mine’, Take Him Back, the song with Outkast - ‘Gone Be Fine’. She was only 18 then. But those were some real songs, that any woman could listen to, relate with and appreciate.

Monica just wants to only show her ghetto side now. Which I don’t even think that’s whta she’s accomplishing. White boys from the burbs like Gold teeth hand tattoos. Those things come with the territory, but that’s not all ‘Ghetto’ is about. It’s coming form a certain way of life, a culture, that can be discouraging, progressing and succeeding in spite of it, and maintaining the earthiness and sense of self it provided you with.

I think Monica could do all these things w/o dumbing herself down the way she is doing. It’s obvious in the way she speaks, dresses and carries herself that there is more to her than what she has been presenting as of late. But, then again, while that may be true, maybe that’s all she wants…now that’s what’s GHETTO.

She giving me a whole lotta Kiesha Cole in this video,
But better, she looks GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IS THAT MARLO….Monica stay keepin’ it gangsta even in her videos….
In another note love Monica but I don’t need to see quite that much of her…

After reading all the posts, I have to add Monica IS ghetto. She was classed up by her label and I don’t mean that to say she doesn’t have any, she’s just never been the R&B princess chick you think. (That would be Ashanti or Amerie.) Monica keeps a gangsta boyfriend, and she lives a regular ATL chick life despite her celebrity. So what you are seeing is not an act, that’s really her. It’s kind of like finding out that pop princess Britney really is trailer trash. Just because folks dress you up and style you and image you, doesn’t mean that’s really YOU.
As for those who think the video and song are beneath her, I have to agree. I feel like I’ve seen MONICA herself make that video before. This is one sister who’s vocal talent is underrated, she can sing and her last album showcased her voice. This one sounds like it was put together by producers in a hurry to get it out….she’s too talented to settle for this.

this song is ridiculous! it’s not a good song, and she needs to stop that damn rapping.

I love “Marlo” from The Wire though

hahahaha
what has happened to monica?
while brandy and beyonce grew up, monica kinda went backwards.
and i think she tops beyonce’s non-lyric writing with “you remind me of my gucci shoes”. lol
who is she now? r. kelly?

I love Mo, she looks like she has not changed since Angel of Mine! She has young face or something

Monica has absolutely no form and she looks all pale in this video.

And its just a dumb song to begin with, she’s using the fact that she’s from Atlanta to try and sell records but its not working.

Can someone please tell me why the fu*k she did “Everytime the Beat Drops?” That was pretty much a signal that her career is over with.

PRETTYGIRL86 NED TO STOP HATING!

AND ANY1 ELSE WHO IS NED TO GET A LIFE!

WHEN U MAK A VIDEO AN MAK AS MUC MONEY AS MONICA THEN TRY 2 HATE!

HAVENT SHE RESPONDED A LITTLE TO MUCH??????????????

mstee2u you took the words out of my mouth. What yall saw in the video just one of them days and all that other stuff was the image that the label created for Monica. NOw she is here and just as Ghetto Fabulous as she wanna be LOL! Might as well get used to it.

BTW who is dude? He ain’t cute enough to be the starring male is he? He must be known for his character cause his looks just ain’t doing it for me. He seems to be channeling AKON into this video from a far away place lol.

I co-sign TOTALLY! I’m telling yall, this album is NOT all that! If this is the second single, why r they playing “Sideline Ho” down here like it’s going out of style! I can’t stand that song and don’t understand why they play it with the “HO” still in it. Ertime it comes on, I have to change the station cuz I don’t wanna hear it nor do I want my kids to be listening to it either. Anyway, this song is alrite but I wouldn’t buy the CD. Just not TOP quality to IMO!

I like the video…I’ve always liked Monica…cosign w/93 & 96

i dont kno if i like it or not !! it’ll grow on me !! i love monica tho !!

#42 I agree with u on that…..i knew MO was always skinny her whole life but on the BET award just something about her was looking right just don’t know what it is…….She’s don’t look anoxeric but she jus look different because in her face it’s not like u see her face looking bony and just something different……..

is she a little hood? or is it me?

Monica has always been skinny, so I don’t know why thats such a big deal to everyone. She looked really pretty, and besides the tattoos, I didn’t really see anything wrong with her body in the vid..maybe it’s because I’m thin too..Her and Letoya Luckett are pretty much shaped alike except that Letoya is bigger up top..

I LOVE THIS SONG! IM ALWAYS BLASTIN’ THIS SONG. MARLO IS SO SEXY TO ME FOR SOME ODD REASON! IM SO HAPPY HE’S IN THE VIDEO.

This is my favorite song off of TMOM and the video couldn’t be better!!! She looks ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS especially when she’s in the window of the store. I REALLY HOPE THIS IS HER COMEBACK SINGLE becuase this song takes me back to the “Why I Love You So Much” Monica days! Clear Classic!

Well one thing is for sure…That girl is sure tatted up…And who keeps tellin her to rap in her songs?

THE ONLY THING UGLY ABOUT THIS VIDEO IS THAT NIGGA THAT’S IN IT…WHO THA HELL IS HE?? TO ALL OF YOU ALL THAT’S GOT SOMETHING NEGATIVE TO SAY ABOUT MY GIRL…REALLY IT’S INSIGNIFICANT… NOBODY IN THIS WORLD IS PERFECT, NOR HAS THE PERFECT BODY, SO WHO ARE YOU TO JUDGE? MONICA IS BEAUTIFUL, TALENTED, AND HAS A VOICE THAT MOST OF THESE SO CALLED R&B CHICS WISHED THEY HAD…MONICA’S IS GOING TO BE EXACTLY WHO SHE IS….”MONICA” OH YEAH, AND ABOUT THE TATTOO THEORY, SINCE WHEN DID HAVING TATTOOS WHETHER BIG OR SMALL BECOME SO GHETTO? I’M CURIOUS ABOUT THAT..
GET BACK AT ME ON THAT PLEASE….

THIS IS MY SONG, MONICA LOOKS GREAT IN THIS VIDEO!

@130 I dont think tats are ghetto,but to have a big ass tatoo on your arm that’s not cute on a female..maybe in a more feminine place would be better.
