Throwback! "Like This N Like That" by Monica feat. Malik




So the last time I posted a throwback jam, it was Brandy's "Brokenhearted" featuring Wanye of Boyz II Men. So this time around it's going to be her peer, Monica. Up until about 5 years ago, these girls had been competing neck and neck since like '95.

"Like The N Like That" is from Monica's first album, very appropriately titled, Miss Thang. It's kind of hard to believe that Monica was only 15 or 16 in this video! Girl was tooooo grown! If someone told me that she made this video this year, I could believe it. It's almost as if she caught up to her age. I think the haircut made her look older but you can tell by the subject matter on her first CD that she was mature. Even if you really peep the lyrics to "Like This N Like That" she was spitting some real ish! Adult ish! lol And we can't forget about "Don't Take It Personal", "Why I Love You So Much", and "Before You Walk Out My Life". Thinking about these songs gives me goosebumps! For all the females, do you all remember that Monica ALWAYS had fooooine leading dudes in all her videos?! Especially the one in "Before You Walk Out My Life". um um um These songs are just great, timeless pieces and did I mention the girl was only like 15?! I feel like Mase, "she was not 15!" (for those of you who have Mase's first CD you know what I am referring to lol) I miss the days when record labels had the funds to allow artists to release more than one or two videos from their CDs. Nowadays you gotta get gangsta like Kanye and make ya own videos. Holla back if you know what happened to Flava Flav opps I mean Malik (the guy rapping). They came out with this song and we never seen him since. Hope you all enjoy!!!
