Great post Feminista Jones.
Appreciated this walk down memory lane.
Around the time my wife and I started dating, Mariah and ODB’s collab came out and this was our song for for parties and just warm weather chillin’. That song still resonates for us all these years later.
Reading this list and looking at all them pics took us back…I can still remember that feelin’ Sherri & I both had when we first saw her video for it and they were skating on that pier and then the group dance shot with all the fellas and it connected— them baggy jeans, Timbs, braids and corn rows dancing along side Mariah and the Hummer…that’s prob one of my fav memories from the mid-90’s time period of Mariah Carey.
At the time, Mariah had the “Good Girl” clout, but then she took and used that clout to uplift a genre that was often portrayed as anything but “good”.
How she exercised that clout meant a helluva lot to me then, and we’ll never forget her for that. Looking back, I think she gave us a lot to emulate in how we do what we do today.
Thanks again for the article, well done and much appreciated.
#Respect.
