Envyi is mixed making her bi-racial shes not black or white. But the one drop rule states that if you have black in you then you are technically black aka an African American.
The White Girl is trying to be down with the sistas. She's what we call a snowflake in the Hood or White Chocolate. She's doing her thang though. Reminds me of Joanna Carter and Donna Evans in Detroit on the Eastside.
It's not that she can't dance, she just dances like a white girl. thought I think she may be light skin black not white. So that might be a bad thing.
I imagine that of the two of them the white one is named Envy(i),I have no issue with this chick's dancing---'grooving',really.What I do know is this:the record,even after all these years,is JAMMING,is still massively slept on,the song is one of the first musical documentation of using the word 'shorty' as a term to address someone of romantic interest;the white chick is way too cute to believe;and some of the comments posted prove that 'haters' are still alive and well doing their thing.
I got a question for anyone who was hittin the clubs during this era... Was there a big difference between club hoppin back then compared to now?.. Was there a different vibe in the club scene back then?.. I'm just curious because this takes me back to my junior high and high school days, but i didn't turn club age until this decade. Peace.
This was an album produced by BME (lil Jon etc) and it was actually pretty good, never came out with a vol 2. it was called "the rhytem and the quad". Had some funny ass skits on there too.....
I have to remember most of ya'll weren't even born when this shyt came out because I'm reading some of these comments like
((((DAMN)))) this video came out in 1909 and motherfkers just now realizing that envi is a damn near white chick? and why is her complexion even an issue??? she just another can't sing chick that got lucky with a hot ass beat!
all african americans are mixed smh it's sad we are being reconized as being mixed when a blk man and women have a child.... wht. men and blk women had mixed babys ages ago and the african americans you see today are the result....can you say slave rape so pretty much in 500 yrs we will all be considered blk i guess
yea shes mixed.. maybe 23% black but she is def mixed.. im white and my kids father is mixed.. you can barely tell but the hair and lips.. but yea u can def see envyi got sumthin in her.. people blind.. either way it go shes beautiful and can sing
Takes me back to when i used to go to the skate center like EVERY weekend sometimes both Friday and Saturday nights haha. Man those were good times! lol
I referenced her Nicole to make a point...many people didn't know she was black; many people didn't know Mariah was black; I'm just simply trying to set the record straight that Envyi is black and I'm saying what I know...but I'm leaving it alone.
I wuz sayn my opinion and what she appeals to look like to me in the video if she is white it wouldn't matta cuz I said who cares sistah grrl can sing ! So your the one getting irrate over nuthin! Tina Marie is white and she can sing there are alot of white plp who can sing who I listen too so its nt and issue so stop making sumthin so big when its not !
oh people get a life it is a WHITE girl with a fucking good voice stop talkin shit bout light skin NO FOOL SHE IS WHITE & SO why is colour an issue cant u just appreciate that the girl can sing real good??
yo, i remember this long back. But looking at this now, i have a feeling that this is that DL song for the girls. There's like 4 guys in that whole video if you pay attention. Even though you can write that off as nothing, that's just my gut feeling on it. Cool song, though
LOL! Damn, you analyzed that. I remember thinking the same thing when I saw the video. Either way, don't matter, the song is still bumpin'. And to the other folks, voice has no color. I do understand what's being said, Susan has soul....I wonder what they're doin' now....
Ima guy doe but envyi kinda like me my daddy black n my mama white but a nigga look white lol.. I just get tired of explanin that shit but Its all good though...
No one denies great white soulful singers like Robin Thicke and Teena Marie. But this singer is black (bi-racial). I remember when they first came out. She commented about her race on BET. Same thing happened with Mariah. Everybody thought she was white (or just white). But why does it really matter anyway?
She's actually bi-racial. Her mother is white and actually French and her father is African-American. She is very light but take it from me she's black (bi-racial). Back in the day she could've passed for white like some blacks her hue did.
See I was really non discriminant back then as a child. I really didin't realize she was white until now. LOL! I remember that song like it was yesterday.
Wow!!! Yall have got to be some of the dumbest and slowest people. Yeah she's light skinned but that doesn't always mean she or anyone else is mixed or white dumasses. Hell nothing looks white about her!! NOTHING AT ALL!!!
