Shades - Tell Me

[thiinamaree]

LOL!! I remember they called this the Gold Diggers anthem.

[CandyGirl069]

@thiinamaree My dad couldn't stand this song because he thought the same thing and he thought the second girl was the biggest gold digger because she ended up marrying Ray Allen but she was messing with him even when they were in college.

[Jaay1000s]

GOT IT! LL COOL J feat. TOTAL LOUNGIN but I call it "Who Do You Love" LOL

[Jaay1000s]

Like I feel hella dumb for not know the answer to my question cause it's on the tip of my tongue everytime I listen to it. EFFFFF!

[Jaay1000s]

Noone understands how juiced (excited geek'd) I was when I found this song NO ONE lol

But who recently sample this song? or Did they sample I don't know but listening to it now I know I've heard it somewhere else before but I can't put my finger on it. :(

[3BuckHead]

@Jaay1000s I've been looking for this song forever too. I havent heard this song since it was out in the 90's. So glad God made a way for me to find this song.

[CoreyKellySings]

This used to be my song!

[PriincessNx]

tuneeeee this is a tune man i dont care u have to rock side to side to this one , tellllllllllll meeeeeeee. who ever disliked the video has no taste !!

[michelle79970204]

I personally knew Monique, she was my hairdresser! She's awesome, not sure where she went though, miss her. :)

[thakaivahas52]

hahahahaa remembers when I was a little girl, singing with with my friends in Elementary school .... crack up, but definetly pioneering girl groups long before Destinys Child hit the scene. Fo sho!!

[FTLsFINEST]

Everybody remembers this...LOL

[CalledSista]

to this day this is still a banger!!

[Queenofcydonia2]

Look at those female Gaubauds shorts!!

[shinningsun30]

Me and my best friend used to blast this song at 14!!! I mean we would in my room with the radio all the up!!! I miss the 90's

[UniqueMonique513]

If Destinys Child was to get back together.. THEY WOULDNT HAVE NOTHING ON Shades. Although they do sound simular..Nothin on them cus Shades were EPIC..

[PriincessNx]

@UniqueMonique513 Yh uve got a point there , for slow jams and to kill it shades rocked it. Destinys child are good but more 2000's but yeh shades run this.

[medee22]

omg i use to like this song!!!! i miss the good ol' r and b music : (

[lilbitsish]

Tell me your name ,what car do you drive, how much money do you make, this was my jam back in 96' and still love it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[FLCL7]

this must be a sample to a song! man, this is gonna bug me all day

[Ktheblackdiamond]

@FLCL7 Bernard Wright - Who Do You Love

[FLCL7]

@Ktheblackdiamond it does sound like it, but I found another one, but the words are different, LL Cool J - Loungin'

[MrBiasJoe]

@FLCL7 I know. Lounging was a little popular than this song though. Kudos to them for trying. They had a hit.....I didnt :)

[ThoroughbredDiva]

Awwww shit! Ya'll gon make me pull out my cassette tapes! DIS MY SHIIIIT!!!!

[LuLemusu]

Dayam these girls were so fine back then!! Nothing beats 90s music!!

[leedo12]

the 70's 80's and late 90's was were all the Rnb anf hip hop, new jack swing, soul/funk was at its best. it all rubbish now. Mowtown laid the foundations in the beggining to all this ol skool flava.

[SweetMissJaye]

When I was a kid I used to love this song lol Imagine my surprise when I took a look at this video as an adult and saw my boss was one of the members of Shades? Now I know why she is so bitter and unhappy. She should be happy being a part of this one hit wonder. So many people still love the song.

[NineDuece]

@SweetMissJaye i bet your boss is the one sitting behind the driver.lol actually they have another hit "seranade" it was song that i used to commincate my thoughts to women with when i was only 14 hah

[SweetMissJaye]

@NineDuece She's the one in the front seat with the driver lol

[mbproject21]

@SweetMissJaye LOL for real?? Not everybody makes it. It's a shame too because their album is quite good.

[SweetMissJaye]

@mbproject21 I don't remember their album that much but I think my cousin had the cassette tape lol. I still can't believe it when I watch this video

[CandyGirl069]

@SweetMissJaye Wow. Has anyone approached her about her time in the group?

[GMan6254048]

@SweetMissJaye Your boss is a beautiful woman, and I hope she knows that. It would be sad if she's bitter and unhappy today. She pursued her dream, was part of an excellent singing group, and made a significant impact on the music scene -- one that is still being felt today. Please tell her "thank you" from me.

[Thablukoolaidsmile]

remake the Song Who Do You Love-  Bernard Wright

[bfly1]

The Spanish girl wasn't playing cause she did end up marrying a baller Ray Allen lol. I love this song this is the original gold digger anthem.

[MissJaynet]

wooow they do remind me of Destinys Child

[franisorciere]

one of my favorites!!

[machoman1016]

@mysr i don't think the girl's chubby she might have been 16 or 17 and she show some skin in the part where there wearing black

[lowflo1]

This song brings back so many memories for me - clubbing days! x

[babyluv24]

Destiny's Child stole their steez straight lookalikes. I wish Shades made it farther.

[mysr]

I use to feel sorry for the chubby girl..this video always cut her out or put her in the far back. She didnt wear the same sexy clothes the other three girls wore and no small solo..AND THEN I Serenade came out and HELLO!! LOL..She even has her own solo part in the song and she has a great voice AND lost a few pounds.. I still love this song though.

[YoungDreezee]

I never heard this song or seen these chicks. but they are hot. I wish I did see them though back in the day. Are they from the west coast?

[tjh607]

The "original" original Destiny's Child lol



[anjelheaven]

@tjh607 lmfao I know, right? 

[chemfinger]

i so want to go back to the 90's.

[yellomello27]

@chemfinger so do i :-(

[DrizzyBlog]

i wonder where they at now lol

[nortyb13]

OLD SCHOOL AS

[SPIRITofLOVE76]

This was the jam

[MrZangetsu468]

this was on Nick Alexander's volume IV swing 2 cd, one of the best mix cds ever

[MaryBlue21]

damn this was my s@#$!!!!!!!



[UniqueMonique513]

I used to get this song mixed up with the song total made "Who Do You Love"...Throwback for sure

[that23hoe]

i need a time machine!!!!!! i wanna go backkkkkk

[Musicis1zt]

@giggle628000000 You mean LL Cool J's record "Loungin" featuring Total. Both LL and Shade use the same sample ("Who Do You Love?" by Bernard Wright) but L's came out in '96 and theirs came out in '97.

[BricktownBubba]

@Musicis1zt LL and Shades both sampled this from Bernard Wright's" Who do you love" which came out in 1985.

[giggles628000000]

why does this sound like a ripoff of totals who do you love? dont know which came first but they sound like the same melody

[kmcl11]

@giggles628000000 same producer i guess

[MZDIMPOLS923]

Wow I remeber this ish!!!!

[theb0ss4eva]

wow this takes me back, used to lover this song, reminds me of the summers when all the r n b tunes were great

[YoBebeMama]

those were my girls back in the day!!

[d22money007]

i gurls wuz still dis honest lol..... those days are over

[flipgood89]

at least these hoes honest....most broads will front like they love you, when they have ulterior motives. And if you gunna pop that kind of shit, at least be sexy and these hoes on point. Shades was a pretty mediocre group, tho

[slick1hit]

Damn there sexy,see this is what i like,woman can dress sexy without showing to much,i like it when they leave it to my imagination lol

[marcellin20]

damn...girl groups were the shit those days

[spiritualbliss85]

this sounds like ll cool j's lounging with total... never heard of these girls but i like this song...

[Sunni4lyf]

dont want no bum i dont blame em

[birdie28a]

AHHHH this was the shxx back in 1996 I remember clear as day driving to Florida on vacation and jamming all the way down their blasting this song!!!

[DE712]

Does it really matter you stupid girls?

[gemini3081]

lmao!!! how did I forget this!! LOL

[MzDonshea]

@gemini3081 I KNOW RIGHT!!!!

[TheMegagirl2000]

I never heard of them! The song sounds like LLcoolJ's lounging.

[ABGUTTASTAR]

this ab universal djs classic

[chelsealjones]

well.. at least they were straight up with it. lol

[toothfairy30]

I know its a great piece of 90's nostalgia for us and those growing up in that era, but plain and simple, this group was shit. Just being completely honest, they were there to sell sexy, and thats what they did. But that is all. Lets not make the mistake of thinking, that they were among some of the greats to come out of the 90's!!!!

[changs2006]

i remember as a kid, this was the first time i seen butterfly doors lol

[Eseercam]

These girls were Destiny's Child before there was a Destiny's Child LOL!

[bestever2682]

i could only remember the chorus!!!! i had 2 google the chorus to find it!

[shalza11]

daamm! this song brings bak old feelings.

[ItsAzzIzz]

of course it sounds like "Laungin" cuz both song took sample and cover "Who do you love" by Bernard Wright...

[blkcoverboy]

this song always rode out! eyyyyyyyyyyy luv it!

[jazzyc22]

Sounds too much like Loungin

[MSBOLEGGEDMA8]

@jazzyc22 YEAH I KNOW RIGHT BUT THIS CAME OUT WAY B4 LOUGIN

[beurreberry1990]

That was before or after " Lougin " ?

[chakazulu87]

@beurreberry1990 As a I specifically remember BOTH songs in the summer of 96 cause the beat was hot to me. lol 

[Bookman]

@beurreberry1990 around the same time

[micljnes]

@beurreberry1990 Definately after, and there are several more tracks that use that sample. Peace

[PhoenixIceable]

What happened to Shades ?

[iamdeidah]

Juice tv is NEW ZEALAND

[brianb9532]

i think one of them is ray allen's wife

[Bizmark2007]

lol at this being the blueprint for destiny's child

[trple5]

This was Destiny's child before Destiny's child!!! Bitch look just like Beyonce,Kelly ect....

[mrzneshamiller]

I used to loooooove this song!

[dannyboimadonna]

sounds so much like adina howard sick tune n sick album

bring bk these dayz man

[CalledSista]

this song gives me that feel good 90's feeling...music does not make you feel this good no more!!

[Luv4DEA]

Shades and LL Cool J got the sample from Bernard Wright's "Who Do You Love" Check it out!

[bassman490]

i'm Proud of my niece (Monique) she is the prettiest one!!

[cherubicnerd]

@bassman490 that's cute! which woman is she?

[bassman490]

@cherubicnerd She's the shortest one (Ha Ha) :-)

[knmlover]

Shannon Walker Williams, the tiny, cute Puerto Rican-looking one, married basketball player Ray Allen. She snagged her a rich dude lol!

[swiley82]

@knmlover ray is a ct native, she may be also. That may have helped. The girls went to Eastern Connecticut State University.

[knmlover]

@swiley82 Oh ok

[kimboo03]

Isn't this LL Coo J's beat for Loungin remix???

[KSennyBaby]

Oh my at 1:55 ... lol ...

[imPR3TTYBLacK]

@KSennyBaby okkkk. OH MY DAMN is the correct way.

[ListenToLeon]

Pretty chicks, but yeah, this song is definitely the Golddigger Anthem!

[TheNotoriousjr]

ce fut l'époque où la musique rnb était créatif.

on peut le voir sur cette chanson. Que la musique de cette époque revienne

[babylovefais]

love this song so freaking much

[snowsbeau]

Golddigga's unite! I love Bernard Wright's song. The fact that Shades high jacked it like this is hilarious!!! See one of these girls and RUN!!!!

[bfly1]

@snowsbeau There did not jack his song like 4 other people sampled his song too. Its called sampling.

[reymisterio56]

They sampled: Bernard Wright - Who Do You Love great song

[cupid0927]

Love it !!!! :)

[SoulBrothaD]

spitflowz man, good looking on that shit! i'm a 90's head and this joint brings joy to me, man! i never thought i would sound like an old fart, but i miss those days! damn it feels like i played this song in the club just a week ago LOL

[Ms79Precious]

Both songs came out the Spring/Summer of 1996... Heavy rotation on "The Box"

[atrienneyates78]

love it!!!! I had this single and wore it out!!!

[LoseMyFocus]

Blatant copy of LL Cool J ft Total "loungin" remix.(check out the chorus and beat)

[Leviathan123456]

@LoseMyFocus yeah but this song was released years before da loungin track. its the other way round buddy.

[LoseMyFocus]

@Leviathan123456 actually Loungin came out in 96 and this was 97 u can check on amazon. #thanks

[nalumali]

@LoseMyFocus actually it would be a blatantcopy of Berard Wright's Who Do You Love lol

[Ahdree23]

where the hell are these chicks?

[yshoulducare76]

@Levianthan123456.....U are so right! Could not have said it better, my friend!!!!

[rimkakarimful]

damn... it's so good ............j'adore

[lulanda1000]

this shiz be better than d-child! S'HOT!

[gbreppin]

i love these bitches! ; )

[lowflo1]

What ever happened to these girls? Love this song! x

[rayrzy]

@lowflo1 WE BACK JUST PUT UP OUR TWTTER PAGE @SHADESFANPAGE

[swiley82]

Destiny's Child took a bit of their theme from Shades, people don't realize this.

[DigitallyPink]

@swiley82 I remember when this song came out, then Destiny's Child and I thought they were the same group but just changed their name...I totally agree with you

[joesolese]

Great version a lot better than LL and Total. Bernard Wright was definitely the originator. Hear that Bernard plays every Monday night at some lounge in Dallas.

[MarkEC64]

This was a good year for music after spilling over from the Awesome 80's

[Doll23608]

lol i ran my grandmas phone bill up $200 ordering this song on "the box" when i was like 6 LOL

[longasiambreathin]

throwback for real i loved this song but i've never known who sang it ,i thought 'total' sang it to tell da truth but hay fuck it who cares love this song sameway it brings back alot of childhood memories it's all good.

[cimism610]

Now this is bull a yard full of it fresh with steam comin off it

[MySkiesAreBlue24]

whao! this is so old!!!

[MsPrettySmile26]

Dang, I forgot about this song.

[Leviathan123456]

the orginal golddiggers anthem!!

[MySkiesAreBlue24]

@Leviathan123456 lol! they were out before destinys child right?

[changs2006]

@Leviathan123456 LOLLL!! so true

[wblk]

This song is a BIG rip off of Bernard Wright-Who Do You Love. I wonder if they were sued.

[joesolese]

@wblk Fo sure. He was a great singer-song writer, and producer. The video is cool cause he's rolling with his girl all over the damn place. I

[gbreppin]

i always liked da puerto rican one the most...even tho they all look good...but the one with the short hair is hot too

[alliehazelangel]

Wow Throwback for real... I remember this song I was really young though, and I never seen the video until now. I didn't even know who sung it but I liked it. Still do

[SoSeductive1981]

I thought I was imaging things that this song ever existed. I was a freshman in high school when this song came out. Ten years later and this song still sounds good.

[kaycee0122]

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS SONG!

[brown550]

i have this album if you want a copy hit me up with your email address and i'll give you the link

[Oceeea2ne]

i loveeeeee

[aprettlovely61]

they are not still around... I wonder what happened to them

[MyJunior1975]

@aprettlovely61 One of the girls (the one behind the steering wheel) was best known as the girl that got knocked out by Michelle Rodriguez in the movie "Girlfight", LMFAO!!

[bossyken10]

OMG! I was a young girl when this song came out...i still love this song.

[sammy69831]

this sounds like LL cool js "lounging"

[JSITY07]

they are not latina! Mo'nique, Danielle and shannon are Cape Verdean and i believe Tiffany is African American! Mo'nique is my cousin love you auntie moe!! and i agree they had much more talent than the original destiny's child, but like the say "timing" and "promotion" has a lot to do with making or breaking a career!

[cancergirl7783]

@JSITY07

well they gave us a hit that will last forever!!!!!

[ratedr404]

1996. What a good year in R&B and Hip Hop.

[rayrzy]

@ratedr404 WE BACK JUST PUT UP OUR TWTTER PAGE @SHADESFANPAGE

[Eseercam]

@ratedr404 I agree 100%

[mixmaster676]

anybody remember shades? jammin!

[f99kiss]

@mixmaster676 I remember them!! while it was playing on the radio back in the day my pops would say to AVOID women like that!!!

[SexxyChynaD]

and i used to sing along to dis as a kid and now im listening to da lyrics WTF my mama shouldve slapped me in da mouth for singin dis song SMH OMG my mama a gold digger!!!

[Kirwina]

ok yes, it is a gold digger anthem, yes I would admit that but what a wonderful hit, a nice throwback. I wouldnt want a man who isnt working and is a dead beat waste of time anyway. I work for my own money and he should too.

[cdub153340]

The second singer is Ray Allen's wifey.

[SexxyChynaD]

@cdub153340 WHAT> o ya it damn sure is guess dat chick got her wish lol

[cnote4461]

I liked these chicks....were they all Latina, or Black and Latina???

[rimkdu86]

Chason is removed before this version ll cool j or after? Are these the original?

[creedog617]

love this beat from bernard wright who do u love....nice little song

[thicka22]

@sweetuth99 you not lieing they need, to stop this shit I am tired of women trying get men money, they need to make there own money. This is not a message you send to the young generation.

[snasc1]

@thicka22 bullshit a real man will take care of their lady..you better teach your girls to be with a guy that can support them and im not saying that girls shouldnt get their own but a partnership is 50/50 why would you teach your girls to be with a guy who cant meet their standards dang let a man be a man and treat a lady like a lady dont make her wear the pants..doesnt mean she not independant but he needs to be the backbone

[thicka22]

@snasc1 you are going off subject I talking about being a gold diggers, not real woman and real man relationship. I do agree with you anout the 50/50 in relationship.

[777melba]

I like the group but they were gold diggers im not mad so much you want to be with me take me out and we go half on dinner etc but dam the bs didnt stay around only because money isnt everything! smh

[changs2006]

lol i remember this and when they was on soul train. didnt they sample this from LL ft Total - Loungin?

[gbreppin]

i listen to this song everyday in the morning,,,to motivate me to get this money at work...cuz the kind of girls i like, they Not gold diggerz...but they aint fuckin wit no broke niggaz

[JimmyMarverick]

I miss those days!

[gbreppin]

gold diggin hoes,... cant live with them, cant live without them ,,,smh
