when “the boy is mine” dropped in 98,
with brandy and monica belting out their soulful rivalry,
it was more than just a song.
it was a cultural moment.
the ultimate for young millennials.
i still remember Mum surprising me with the maxi single.

unforgettable.

I’ll also never forget her apartment flooding just as Brandy was hosting MTV for the weekend,
promoting her new album and “I Still Know What You Did Last Summer.”

chaotic….
but what a year.
brandy and monica’s sophmore albums still hold a special place in my heart.

ariana grande is trying to capture that magic in her “yes, and?” era,
but nothing’s landing quite right.
even her duet with mariah failed to make waves but only a cute splash.
she tried re-doing “the boy is mine”,
but not like the OG,
but adding brandy and monica to the remix…

so i’m watching monica’s “soul story” on vh-1 with mi.
between brandy and her,
even tho i have mad love for brandy because she got me through,
i loved monica’s swagg.
plus she stayed with sexy wolves in her videos.
even tho out of the 90s vixens,
aaliyah and mya got most my love.
i love a vixen who can dance.
thats another story.
well my favorite album from monica is “the boy is mine”.
ironically so is my favorite video as well…
