Thanks for the update L.D. I got tired of my kids talking about how well Usher can dance. So I had to blast "Pump It Up" and "Let's get it started" on them. No one had done it before. No one has come close since. You guys truly are legendary. When "juicy" came on at the club, the dancefloor got pack. Still just as infecteous today as back then. Glad you guys are doing well.
@xchuck1x Thank you!! WE are truly BLESSED to be here and to enjoy speaking with you! Blessings to you and thank you for "schooling" your children. We all learned, even Usher, from examples like James Brown, Josephine Baker, Tina Turner etc. So yes Let them see where dance came from...LOL! ~Sweet L.D.
I AM SO HAPPY I CAME ACROSS THIS VIDEO. ITS GOOD TO SEE YOU AND HEAR THATS ALL OF YOU ARE DOING WELL. I AM STILL A HUGE HUGE FAN... PLEASE COME BACK!!!!!!!!
I LOVE 357 and miss them...we need more female dope energy in Hip Hop and they lead the way with dancing and rhyming. I'm glad to hear they're doing well and healthy, happy and still wanting to perform! I'm from the west coast and they were the truth! Much love!
@MrAlex3132003 Why do you think that is saaaad? I am well aware of where I come from and so is Hammer. My work, committment attitude etc. speak for themselves. I explain what the video is for and Hammer had nothing to do with it. So before you judge do your research. ~Sweet L.D.!
@mr_e_manish I love Oakland 357 ... Juicy gotcha crazy is mth theme song for a company I started. I can't wait for you to put out new music. I love yall
Sweet, u look so beautiful, this is Mario from the studio back in the day with James in the Vallejo, I just saw T's wed'n vid, glad to see u all are still blessed, Love ya, Mario

You guys were the ISH! you guys not only had good dance music but had the talent as well! No one could keep up. You guys were the BEST dancers for M.C. Hammer and showed it on the Lets get it started video. But Juicy and get loose...you guys out did yourselves. Many good memories of both of those songs from oaktown. Actually got to see you guys in concert in Sacramento Arco Arena...I dont dare say how long ago..but it was a great to see you guys in your element! 3-5-7!!
@dino0207 Awww thank you so much! I am glad we held up to our name during the concert in Sacramento!! too close to home to not make it do what it do!!! LOL LOL LOL! Thank you so much for stoppin' by and sharing your memory with me and your compliments! I sincerely appreciate it!! You have put a smile on our faces...Peace and Blessings to you! You can join us on the official 357 fan page on facebook. Hope to chat with you there! Suhayla Sabir aka Sweet L.D.!

wowwwwwwwwwww its SWEET L.D. girl i loved you from back wen i wuz a little kid me and my friends would act like yall wen i wuz in the sandbox back in the day LOL! its great to see u again
The people who say you look the same are wrong. You actually look better to me. Polished, poised and articulate. Yeah, getting better with time. Congrats to your husband.
I was 13 or 14 when I saw your vidoes and you have changed my life since then. I was a chubby jock, that played soccer but when i saw you girls in that red/white jumpsuit spandex , and " let's get it started" i knew that hard work would get you a banging body. and you guys are ICONS NOT LEGENDS. Well I've shaped up since then " as you can see" but you have touched my life! Thank you very much thank you.
Hi, Ms. Suhayla, it's good to know that you are both in good health and very happy living your lives. Out of all of the female groups in the 90's, you ladies have stood the test of time as the most memorable. I remember when we 1st heard of Oaktown3.5.7. , we were all teens/ cheerleaders, we would be outside practicing the routines to "JGC" and other videos, we were 16 &we had fun dancing to them all then. we hope you reunite just once and show these females how it's really done~~ One Love!
i have wondered for years what were you two up to...did you two ever get married ... ....were you two still in the music business ...were you both alive well and happy
because you two touched a lot of people with your talent.....and this is from a guy
thats in JIMI HENDRIX, KISS,LED ZEPPELIN,and bands like that i was never much into rap but you two were something on another level altogether
@madjimi Hey There! You do have a different musical taste! I am still happy you had an ear for 357 LOL!! You compliment is really appreciated and so genuine! Thanks for stoppin by and sharing your thoughts!! Hugs and Prayers to you madjimi!!! Sweet L.D.
There truly is no tiring of watching you and Tabatha videos whether dancing with Hammer or doing your own. You both are legendary and just showed so much class in your dance and performances. I do not keep up with all the awards and compliments from other artists but I know that you two should be in some hall of fame (video or dance) somewhere for inspiring others. Please convince Tabatha to come together in some type of show so people can just see you both together again.
@iam6ft4mn I am humbled, and grateful! I will do what I can and GOD Willing we will be recognized. I believe tho' that we are and will continue to be as long as those like you remember us! Thank you! Peace and Blessings~Sweet L.D. aka Suhayla Sabir
Sweet LD, can you make a video giving us the history of Oaktown 357, like how you all met Hammer to the breakup of the group? And can you post videos of Oaktowns live performances?
@able76 Hi There able76! I can post more videos with that information. I am working on setting that up now. However some of that information/story has been shared on the Oaktown's 357 fan page on facebook. As far as the live performances, I am stuck...I have requested videos from the photogrpaher and he hasn't responded. I am also looking into archive information. So be patient with me. Thank you so much for your interest! Peace and Blessings~Suhayla Sabir aka Sweet L.D,
You and Tabitha are still beautiful!!! Im glad you're thinking about reuniting. Call up Hammer & Ace with the rest of the original crew, and lets get it started!!!
@able76 Hey YoU!! Know that we are grateful to you! just for sendin' a shout out! Join us on the Oaktown's 357 facebook page! Lookin' for ya! Have a blessed day~Sweet L.D.!
I would just like to sweet l.d.,You are one of my many favorite female m.c.'s in the hip hop game.For me the late 80's & early 90's was great time me when hip hop was fun.I think some of the pioneers need show the younger players how to do things and be respectful.
@hoodiemoney24 Ooh Wow, I didn't see this comment! Thank you! I am blessed, I hope to be able to do a show in the future! Would love to have you there!
OMG! I miss you guys... me and my cousins had a dance routine to almost all of your songs. We would record your videos off, "The Juke Box" and learn them step-by-step. I just saw MC Hammer's, "They put me in the Mix", video and it bought back so many child hood memories. I remember being 8 years old wanting my hair cut like Terrible T so baddddd...they don't make good music nor dance videos like you guys did anymore :(
@thehoneydripper09 Wow! Thank you so much! We had a great time choreographing our dances, lots of work! So I am excited when I hear people like you say you learned them! Step-by-Step...wow, talk about dedication! You GO!! Thank you so much for sharing! Hugs and Prayers! Sweet L.D. aka Suhayla Sabir
I USED TO LOVE YOU LADIES, I DRESSED AND DANCED AND WAS GLUED TO THE TV EVERY TIME YOU CAME ON. THOSE WERE SOME FUN YEARS, GLAD TO SEE YOU ARE DOING FINE AND YOU HAVENT AGED A BIT. STAY SWEET, LD AND BEST WISHES TO YOU AND TERRIBLE T!
@cozie4 Thank you so much for the prayers and the wonderful memories!! We have truly been blessed and really appreciate all the love the fans have been showing. It has really been a blessing and a surprise!
OMG!!!!!!!! I love 357! You ladies help define hip hop for me growing up and I still blast your album, Wild N Loose, in my car today! Thank you for giving us great music. 3-5-7..GET LOOSE!
@suhaylas Hahaha no problem! Did you watch BET's My Mic Sound's Nice: The Truth About Women and Hip Hop? They did a brief touch on 357, but not enough in my opinion.
Used to love watching you dance, LD! You were definitely smooth with yours (the other sistas were nice but you know there's always going to be a favorite. haha And that was you.). Y'all definitely did your thing, Pump It Up and "Juicy" are two of my all-time favorite videos.
@illadvised50 Awww you are so sweet!! Thank you! You know the funny thing is I loved the way Tab (Terrible T) danced! I always felt like I had to dance like her. So this is wonderful to hear!!! Hugs and Prayers!
OMGGGGG!!!! THEE BESTTTTTT!!!!!!!! PLEASE COME BACK!!!!!! You ladies have NO competition except for yourselves!!!!!! Ya'll need to come back and finish taking over the world!!!!!!! Many Blessings!!!!!!! :.)
@BarbieBillionaire Wow I didn't see this the other day!!! LOL Taking over the world??? That is WAY BIG!!! You may have to share this thought with Terrible T and Lil P...you can find all of us on facebook on the Oaktown's 357 page...I am sure they would love to see your enthusiasm!!! Thanks so much for stopping by! Peace and Prayers~Sweet L.D.aka Suhayla Sabir!
No other females in the rap game could out dance you girls! NO ONE! Oaktown 357 is behind some of my fondest childhood memories. All the kids in my old neighborhood would get together and make routines or have dance contests off your songs.
@Codycole80 Aww I miss dancing like that. I am so happy and honored to be part of your childhood memories. Check us out on facebook on our fan page Oaktown's 357. We would love to have you join us... and tell a friend! Sweet L.D. aka Suhayla Sabir! Have a great day!
OMG OMG OMG LOOK AT SWEET LD OVER 20YEARS LATER LOL WOW SHE LOOK GOOD!!!!! "IF YOU THINK YOU CAN MOVE THEN TURN IT UP" ~"JUICY GOTCHA KRAZY" ETC......YOU AND TERRIBLE T WERE THE BEST DANCERS IN THE WORLD!!!!! AND THOSE HAIRDOS WERE LIKE......WOW!!!! YOU GUYS NEED TO COME BACK COS NOONE IN THE INDUSTRY BROUGHT IT LIKE HOW OAKTOWN 357 DID....LEGENDS
Yeah plus I had alot of energy too. Oaktowns 357 is still my all time favorite female rap group. I supported yall in a major way and made sure to bump the music each and everytime.
@iliketheway Thank you Thank you Thank you! I will be sure to pass this message on to Tabatha and Lil'P. They will be happy to know you enjoyed us...GOD Bless!!!
You look great and you are absolutely correct when you refer to the feelings that people have for the work you guys did. Its just a great feeling I get watching the incredible groundbreaking style you guys brought out.
Thank you. You were really a part of something special that will last forever, and I hope you do find another creative way to present it to the fans again, whether it be through a movie or documentary, etc.
@kevinwhite Thank you so much! I am not sure that you all really understand how much all this means to me, and Tabatha and Lil'P. I have reconnected with both of them and they are doing well. I (Sweet L.D.) hope and pray that if it is GOD's will that we will be able to reunite and grace the stage again. I would love that. In the meantime, be sure to show your love on the Oaktwon's 357 page on facebook. I set up one, it has the pic of the second album on it. Please join us.
@musiclover77able Hi There! Yes it is me! I figure the least I can do after all these years is say "hey"! Thanks for the comment and compliment! Keep in touch!
Wow, you just commented on my video where I did a lil tribute to all of my favorite ladies of rap. First let me say, it's SO NICE to see that you are doing well! I loved Oaktown's 357! You ladies were the business! Thank you for saving my vid as a favorite. I am subscribing now to your channel but from my original channel: Xp3erynce. Stay blessed!
WOW AM SHOCKed I DIDNT think that u reply thats wz up.. .. well peace and blessing to and your family... maybe and a couple of the artist from back in the day can do a tour.. like u l'trimm .jj fad.. boss. lady of rage yo-yo.. subway .. just to name a few .. well hit me back i hv a couple ideas for ya..
@DJJJINSTL ~oh yeah? What ideas do you have for us? LOL. It would be nice if we were able to be a part of that kind of concert...hook it up. I am sure Tab would be interested. I have even spoken to Lil'P and she would be down. Peace and Blessings to you and yours and thank you for the prayers! GOD Bless!
Thank YOU Sweet L.D. for the update, and very glad to see you're doing well today! Beautiful, great, and classy move to drop a little update video like this and weigh in with your appreciation when people drop you comments - that is truly touching. "Yeah yeah yeah" still rings fresh in my mind some 20 years later! Thank you and stay beautiful!
@Bus3204 HI There!! It is because of people like you that I am grateful what I have to say matters. I am thankful, really, to all of the fans, and even those that didn't like 357 for helping me to appreciate more what I was a part of...GOD Bless you and your family! Peace and Blessings!
@suhaylas - Thanks for the great reply! You mention in this video how you are constantly pleasantly surprised to find such an outpouring of positive feedback after 20 years, and I can testify that it goes both way! I'm pleasantly surprised to find that the gorgeous fly looking girl riding shotgun in the Convertible in the "Yeah Yeah Yeah" video has one truly beautiful heart! NOW SING! LOL! May you continue to find your blessings as you've done already!
Oh my Gosh! is it really you. Thank you so much for the entertainment you provided. You girls were awesome and it was such a pleasure being entertained by you. please my sister be well and i hope your family is blessed. i am really emotional right now. u just dont know how much i idolized you ladies.
I was about 16 when Juicy Gotha Crazy came out and remember having the biggest crush on both Sweet LD and Terrible T. Glad to see/hear they are doing well. I hope to see more updates, not just on these two but more of the rap acts that were hot when I was a teenager. Brings back great memories.
@mommyluvsherboyz ~ Hi There!!! I can't say that I will. I don't actually have any rare footage that I know how to download. I have some video from the tours and such but I actually don't know how to download it. If I can get some guidance in doing that I would love to share it with you all. Thanks for asking that is a great idea... Peace and blessings!

@DiggumSmack77 no worries, i understand..."age" has a way of happening to us...live a little longer and you will understand what I mean! LOLOLOL Enjoy, and you are more than welcome. Have a great day!
@DiggumSmack77 Hi! The information of the artist of the music is listed at the end of the video...LOL, now I say all that cause I don't know the title and the funny thing is my son produced the music and told me the name of it. Due to "age" the title escapes me! I am so sorry...LOL...look him up! He would love that!
I'm so happy u and tabitha are doing good and to no u in Tx,I hope to run across if u every in Houston,just to say I learn how to dance because of u,plus do u no what happen to Lil P,i remember on the 1st album "Wild and Loose",it was Lil P who was 3,u were 5 and Tabitha was 6,then on the next two album it was just u and Tabitha
Hi There! I am so glad you have wonderful memories of us!!! I am getting more excited every time I get to read a comment like yours. I didn't realize folk really liked our group. But GOD is good and I am grateful for knowing it now. Lil P left early on, but she was 3, Tab was 5 and I was 7. I guess because I was the oldest of the 3 of us. You take care and GOD bless. Stay in touch! Sweet L.D. aka Suhayla Sabir

i have wondered for years what were you two up to...did you two ever get married ... ....were you two still in the music business ...were you both alive well and happy
because you two touched a lot of people with your talent.....and this is from a guy
thats in JIMI HENDRIX, KISS,LED ZEPPELIN,and bands like that i was never much into rap but you two were something on another level altogether

There truly is no tiring of watching you and Tabatha videos whether dancing with Hammer or doing your own. You both are legendary and just showed so much class in your dance and performances. I do not keep up with all the awards and compliments from other artists but I know that you two should be in some hall of fame (video or dance) somewhere for inspiring others. Please convince Tabatha to come together in some type of show so people can just see you both together again.

Sweet LD, can you make a video giving us the history of Oaktown 357, like how you all met Hammer to the breakup of the group? And can you post videos of Oaktowns live performances?
able76 1 year ago
@able76 Hi There able76! I can post more videos with that information. I am working on setting that up now. However some of that information/story has been shared on the Oaktown's 357 fan page on facebook. As far as the live performances, I am stuck...I have requested videos from the photogrpaher and he hasn't responded. I am also looking into archive information. So be patient with me. Thank you so much for your interest! Peace and Blessings~Suhayla Sabir aka Sweet L.D,

I would just like to sweet l.d.,You are one of my many favorite female m.c.'s in the hip hop game.For me the late 80's & early 90's was great time me when hip hop was fun.I think some of the pioneers need show the younger players how to do things and be respectful.

OMG! I miss you guys... me and my cousins had a dance routine to almost all of your songs. We would record your videos off, "The Juke Box" and learn them step-by-step. I just saw MC Hammer's, "They put me in the Mix", video and it bought back so many child hood memories. I remember being 8 years old wanting my hair cut like Terrible T so baddddd...they don't make good music nor dance videos like you guys did anymore :(

Used to love watching you dance, LD! You were definitely smooth with yours (the other sistas were nice but you know there's always going to be a favorite. haha And that was you.). Y'all definitely did your thing, Pump It Up and "Juicy" are two of my all-time favorite videos.
Nice to see that life is treating you well.

No other females in the rap game could out dance you girls! NO ONE! Oaktown 357 is behind some of my fondest childhood memories. All the kids in my old neighborhood would get together and make routines or have dance contests off your songs.
Those were good times!

You look great and you are absolutely correct when you refer to the feelings that people have for the work you guys did. Its just a great feeling I get watching the incredible groundbreaking style you guys brought out.
Thank you. You were really a part of something special that will last forever, and I hope you do find another creative way to present it to the fans again, whether it be through a movie or documentary, etc.

@kevinwhite Thank you so much! I am not sure that you all really understand how much all this means to me, and Tabatha and Lil'P. I have reconnected with both of them and they are doing well. I (Sweet L.D.) hope and pray that if it is GOD's will that we will be able to reunite and grace the stage again. I would love that. In the meantime, be sure to show your love on the Oaktwon's 357 page on facebook. I set up one, it has the pic of the second album on it. Please join us.

@suhaylas - Thanks for the great reply! You mention in this video how you are constantly pleasantly surprised to find such an outpouring of positive feedback after 20 years, and I can testify that it goes both way! I'm pleasantly surprised to find that the gorgeous fly looking girl riding shotgun in the Convertible in the "Yeah Yeah Yeah" video has one truly beautiful heart! NOW SING! LOL! May you continue to find your blessings as you've done already!

Hi There! I am so glad you have wonderful memories of us!!! I am getting more excited every time I get to read a comment like yours. I didn't realize folk really liked our group. But GOD is good and I am grateful for knowing it now. Lil P left early on, but she was 3, Tab was 5 and I was 7. I guess because I was the oldest of the 3 of us. You take care and GOD bless.
