Bossipers, ya’ll know this was the sh*t back in the day.

Classic line: Knocking the boots actually means two boots coming together making tasteful lust. LMAO

*Don’t forget to send your video suggestions to Tips.

  • PISCES PRINCESS

    LMAO 1ST

  • Aunt Viv

    DEAD DEAD DEAD @ this classic video!!!!!

  • Candid Canuck

    RIP the main singer of the group

  • Sydney

    LOL, this is a classic, and it was actually considered “scandalous” back in the day. . .:)

    I have to think of some old school video suggestions:

    1) Pleasure Principle, Janet Jackson (one of my top videos of all time)
    2) Alright, Janet Jackson (loved the Cab Calloway theme — prefer the remix with Heavy D)
    3) Rhythm Nation, Janet Jackson (on-point choreography)
    4) A Heavy D and the Boys video — they were so cute
    5) Waterfalls, TLC (another fave)
    6) Remember the Time, Michael Jackson (love that video)
    7) Glamorous Life, Sheila E (Need I say more?)
    8) Raspberry Beret, Prince

    Hmmm, so many others to think of. . .

  • HoneyG
