    This is a classic…. You can tell how much west coast was influencing JD.. You could put Snoop right there in that video…. This was the DR DRE era right here…. This was the set up for the great 2nd album “OFF THE HOOK” JD’s greatest work….

    OFF THE HOOK STAYS IN MY CHANGER!!

    KEEP BRINGING THEM CLASSICS…..where that silk x leather video at?

  18. My apologies – This has nothing to do with the topic – JD, 92.3 Now FM in NY (http://923now.com) just spun your Put Your !@#$% Hands Up song at about 2:30 pm East Coast time. Just thought you would like to know.

  19. All i have to say is so so def lol. i love old skool music Jermaine is great at what he does love oyur work..

  20. Damn, I love classics, I love ’80,’90 this is history 🙂

  21. Ohhh that was the shit, i haven’t heard that in YEARS and i knew every lyric as soon as i heard the beat! That was great to hear it again and it takes you back! I used to dress like them too, the baggy guy clothes and jerseys. Now i look back and say, what was so sexy about that, i was hiding my curves…..oh the days!
    JD i like this “Classic Vault” videos or music from SOSODEF Past….come back to this idea like once a week, that be nice!

  22. Classic. This is why I still fuck with you to this day. You should keep up So So Def Classic Tuesday as a reminder of all that you have done. Damn, I miss the 90’s.

  23. ay 4 real that track is a killer. soooo smooth.
    keep on posting tracks like that. really luv the old so so def vibe. damn the good old times.

  24. OMG, I swear I just watched this like a few days ago. Y’all know what this is…. SO SO DEF!

    @ the_truth, me too…. I even miss the wardrobe. Surprisingly.

  25. YOU must have been reading my mind.I was listning to this at work today on my ipod.

  26. This was my issh. I was an Xscape fan…understanding, love on my mind, Tonite, living in vain..Everybody had a distinct voice and everybody got some shine.

  27. aw yeah!!!!!!!!!! memories. i miss music like this.

  28. oh hell yeah, J.D. we can have a Fat Ass So So Def Classic Tuesday Everyday. This shit sounds good.
    I gotta replay this one. Take me Back…. L.o.L. Show U right…. I just kicked off my shoes and enjoying this ride…………

  29. i will love this song forever…but i swear they were lookin ROUGH. I was so happy when Off da hook came out! lol

  30. LOL I was just looking at this video last week. I showed my Mom b/c she couldn’t remember who Tiny was, and she saw you in the video and she was like “Is that Jermaine Dupri?” You looked hella young (not that you look old now) 😉
    I was like 7 when this came out and I remember saying your part “This is for the ni**a’s, strickly for the ni**a’s” not knowing what in the world I was saying, needless to say that got shut down real quick when my family heard me singing that part. Music needs to go back to this. This is real music. I honestly don’t even listen to the radio right now b/c the music now dissapoints the hell out of me. I miss the New Jack Swing days. I’m only 22 but I listen to the jazz, and oldies station only now due to this whack a** music out today. There is only a handful of good artist still out there now. Some of these female singers, especially alot of these groups (well there isn’t really many R &B female groups anymore) should take some pointers from Xscape. Hell even Mokenstef’s one hit “He’s Mine” can go toe to toe w/ alot of this weak stuff out today (that was my jam by the way).
    I’m gone jump off my soap box, but I really think the music industry needs a jolt from somebody. Somebody needs to bring good music back. I refuse to put my money into sorry artists. I have Michael, Janet, and a few others on heavy rotation, b/c I feel like that is the good stuff.
    OK I’m done… had to get that out 🙂

    Oh 1 more thing. Xscape did NOT get the recognition that they deserved. All of them could sing their butts off.

  31. DEFINITELY A CLASSIC!!!!!!!!!!! SO SO DEF WAS BRING OUT HITS…XSCAPE IS STILL MY GROUP THO.

  32. Yeah this was a great album…love their version of “Is my Living in Vain.” And I like the video for “I Got Love on my Mind.” This is a throwback…LOL…JD you sure have come up in the world. What’s next week’s Da Brat?

  33. Classic!!!

  34. I absolutely still love this song. It’s still on my ipod. I love old school R & B. S O S O D E F !

  35. Everytime I hear this song, it reminds me of a little bad butt boy that was in my classroom. He would sing the song, and kick the other children. LOL!

  36. Dang my perfect reunion show would be…Xscape…Swv..Jodeci…New Edition….Envogue..Naughty By Nature..BBD

  37. You gotta have at least 2 kids to know about this!

  38. I FREAKING LOVE XSCAPE WHEN THEY CAME OUT. THE JUST KICKING TRACK WAS MY ALL TIME FAVORITE FROM THEM BECAUSE I REMEMBER MY COUSIN WOULD BLAST THAT SHIT ON HIS CAR, AND HE WOULD MAKE THE CAR BOUNCE UP AND DOWN, YOU KNOW THEM CHEAPASS CARS, WHAT THEM CARS CALL? WELL I AIN’T TOO BIG ON CARS, I DON’T EVEN FUCKING DRIVE LOL. BUT I LOVE ALL OF THEIR SONG, I THINK I STILL HAVE THEIR HUMMIN COMIN CHA 1993 TAPE CASSETTEE WHICH THE MAGNETIC TAPE WIRE GOT TAPE TOGETHER BECAUSE THE TAPE PLAYER ATE UP THE MAGNETIC WIRERS THAT I HAVE TO PULL THE WIRER APART JUST TO UNDETANGLE THE SHIT IF YOU KNOW WHAT THE FUCK I’M SAYING. LOL!

    I ACTUALLY TOOK THE CHORUS TO THE JUST KICKING SONG JUST TO SING THE 3RD VERSE FROM MY HOMEGIRLS TRACK. HER NAME IS LIL. LEZAY. THE SONG IS CALLED PLAY THAT O, IT FEATURES ME AND MY OTHER HOMEGIRL YOSHI. YOU CAN CHECK THE TRACK OUT OWN MY MYSPACE, IT’S SLAMMING. http://www.myspace.com/nakitabenjamin THE SONG IS JUST FOR FUN, DON’T SEW ME!! LOL!

  39. OH YEAH I CAN’T FORGET TO MENTION THE TOMBOY STYLE BACK THAN. FOR SOME REASON MOST OF THE GIRL GROUPS IN THE 90’S DRESS LIKE GUYS, I ALSO DRESS LIKE THIS WHEN I WAS A KID, WHICH I STILL DO BECAUSE I’M USE TO WARING BAGGY JEANS, SMALL T, HOOD SHIRTS, HOOD JACKETS, AND LEATHER BOOTS. WHEN AALIYAH CAME OUT BACK IN 93 AT THE AGE 13 OR 15, SHE WAS LIKING HELLA SEXY WITH MANS CLOTHES AND TLC ALSO, BUT XSCAPE WITH BAGGY CLOTHES, NOT SO MUCH. Y?N VEE WAS SEXY WIT IT TOO. THE 90’S WAS THE GOOD OLD DAYS, I MISS THE MUSIC, THE SYTLE, THE NEW JACK SWING, THE HAT TO THE BACK, THE EVERYTHING, SHIT…

  40. OH YEAH! DO ANYBODY KNOW THAT TINY AND KANDI GOT OWN REALITY SHOW THIS YEAR? ONE IS CALLED THE REAL HOUSEWIVES THAT KANDI IS ON, AND THE OTHER ONE CALLED TINY AND TOYA THAT TINY IS ON. WHATEVER HAPPEN TO LATOCHA SCOTT? THEY ALL WENT SOLO BACK IN 98, BUT ALL OF THE SUDDEN, THEY VANISH OUT OF THE SPOTLIGHT FOR A LONGASS TIME.

  41. Ohhh snap, I have so many great memories of Xscape. They are still one of my favorite groups to this day! When I was in high school, they did an autograph signing at Spike Lee’s store, which was right near across the street. Years later I got the opportunity to attend their listening party. A label rep that used to visit the record store that I worked in at the time gave me an invite. It was a small and intimate event. I went alone and Kandi was soooo nice to me. I went up to her to say hi and congrats and she told me to call her Nicole. We chatted for a bit and the next thing you know, she took me around and introduced me to the other members. Tameka had just had a baby, so I saw newborn and Tameka’s mom:) LaTasha (sp?) wasn’t there though, she wasn’t feeling well or something. And Tiny was a sweetheart. Da Brat was there and Kriss Kross and alot of other folks. Linque was there too, one of my fave female rappers. If my memory serves me right, Xscape performed that night too, a few joints from the new album 🙂 Ahhh good times.

  42. I have all of Xscape cds bumpin’ in the iPod. My All Time SO SO DEF Favorite is Mariah Carey’s “Always Be My Baby” (Remix with DaBrat & Xscape). This is my sh!t 4 Eva !!!!

  43. You know what reminds me of Xscape that Jermaine also produce and was sign to So So Def, click here, and you will see who it is.

  44. Today’s music is missing the true essence of R&B. Voice synthesizers are for cats that can’t sing, waterdown beats. 70’s 80’s and 90’s R&B music is gonna last forever, them songs are history and no one forgets history but this new shit that runs on tv, radio, movies, and etc. it will remain shit on a babbies ass till someone cleans it with their bare hands. Songs these days are passing fast, song after song and no one remember`s them anymore and one more thing in every song these days its the same shit, actually its nuthin new just bullshit. I haven’t bought an album since 2002, since 2002, music is’nt the same nomore. Music video’s were the same since 98, all you see in music videos now days are bunch of video models dancing infront of a green screan, dancing at a club, or dancing at a beach party in the summer time. I barely don’t watch music video’s nomore. Back in the 80’s and 90’s, it was cool to watch music video’s because it was amazing to watch artistic, amazing artist do their thing without having to have video models over shine the artist. Today’s music is shit that belongs in my ass whole!

    Music today HAVE NO HEART or NO SOUL, Bring back groups like JoDeCi, Drew Hill, Total, Xscape, SWV please!!! THEIR AINT NO GIRL GROUPS OR GUY GROUPS NOW DAYS THAT I CAN SAY ARE THE SHIT, IT’S ALL BUBBLE GUM POP. 90’S R&B GROUPS WERE CLASSIE AND CONSIDER SEXY IN THE DICTIONARY.

    90’s music had a big impact in my life. I remember the house parties, the bump in grinding dance moves, and ect. What happen to Baby making music? Today’s sex songs are dancable, what the fuck is that!? Why music today can’t sound like Az Yet – Last Night, Tevin Campbell – shhh, Jon B – Pretty Girl, Rome – Do you like this, Johnny Gill – Lets get the mood right, Babyface – Never keeping Secrets, Keith Sweat – Nobody, Xscape – Do you want to, and many more of them baby making music.

    Do producers now days makes good melady hocks to a song? NOPE! I also notice that today’s artist can’t harmonize right, the chorus to every song be weak.

    They don’t make songs like this anymore, Usher is barely hangin and Neyo is ok. but Chris Brown is pop and the rest of these n*ggaz is wack.! SORRY, THAT’S THE FUCKING TRUTH! I’M NOT GONNA SUPPORT ANYBODIE’S ALBUMS IF THE MUSIC ISN’T SOUNDING RIGHT, OR IF THE ARTIST ISN’T THE SHIT! ABOUT DIANDRA, SHE’S OK, SHE MIGHT BE THE SHIT, WHO KNOWS. BUT JOHNTA, HE’S GONNA BE A NO HIT WONDER BECAUSE OF THAT MAKING LOVE TO JESUS BULL SHIT! THAT SONG IS GONNA FUCK UP HIS CAREER SERIOUSLY. I’M AFFENDED BY IT, YOU DEGRADING JESUS CRIST. YOU ALSO USING HIS NAME IN VAIN. PEOPLE WHO ARE RELIGIOUS WOULD HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE SONG.

  45. Oh yeah, and one more thing I forgot to include…… LYRICS NOW DAYS SUCK! THE QUALITY SUCKS, AND THE BEATS ARE WEAK!

  46. when i was a little girl i use to sing the shit out of this song
