THERE WERE SEVERAL FEMALE GROUPS OF THE 90'S WHO SCORED HITS, BUT NONE OF THEM WERE LIKE TOTAL. WHILE TLC WERE THE FEMALES ANSWER TO BELL BIV DEVOE (REMEMBER THEM? OH HOW I LIVED ME SOME MICHAEL BIVINS!), TOTAL WERE THE 'HOOD'S ANSWER TO THE SUPREMES. WELL MAYBE NOT, THEY WERE FLY ASS HELL! THEY NEEDED TO BE BECAUSE THE TRIO COULDN'T SING A LICK BUT THEY DIDN'T NEED TO. THEY WERE AHEAD OF THEIR TIME IN BOTH FASHION AND GENDER BENDING. THEY ALSO HAD SOME THOROUGH AS TUNES INCLUDING THIS TOP 10 R&B HIT. WITH A SAMPLE BY KRS ONE'S SOUTH BRONX, THIS TUNE WAS THE HOTTEST R&B RECORD OF 1996 AND HELPED THEIR DEBUT ALBUM GO PLATINUM. UNFORTUNATELY, LIKE ALL OF BAD BOY GROUPS, THEY WOULD DISBAND AFTER THEIR SOPHOMORE ALBUM. TOO BAD BECAUSE THESE GIRLS WERE THE TRUTH. EVEN WITH LIMITED VOCAL ABILITIES, THEY WERE THE TOTAL PACKAGE.
