[robertoalmazansales]

[msblossomgrow]

this is an anthem not a gold digging song... im sure most who feel that way are men that are bums and dont want anything out of life and try to leech off women instead of being a provider ... these jokers need to get it together.. how u trynna lay up with a woman and then not try to build WITH her or at least offer the lady help with something.. like c'mon .. thats just uncouth and disgusting.. step ya cookies up fellas

[foxcbling]

How does she saying she doesn't want a man who hasn't a job? Quite frankly i agree with her, a man should be able to provide. From the olden days it was there duty... u lazy ass stanky men tlkin bout gold digger song

[SupaAmi]

[19ccj65]

[MultiMAGICDAN]

SHES PUTTING MONEY BEFORE LOVE? AND BESIDES AINT IT THE GIRLS THATS THE GOLD DIGGERS NOT THE GUYS HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[jrmetmoi]

Bill collectors at mah door.....just tell them 'I'm not home'!......

[qwandiddy]

One of the best early New Jack Swing's Joint!!!!

[cityswan]

Like the words or not, this song keep us on the dance floor. This was the song!!! I love her. A great voice gone from us too soon. Wonderful memories from this sun. Thank you Gwen for memories.

[autismpete]

This MAY be a golddigging song, but hey, at least sistas back then had SOME type of standard! At least back then, sistas wasn't layin up and procreating with bummy, busted-ass niggas with SWAG like they doin now.

I personally think a lot of our sistas need to set SOME type of standard for themselves. I hope and pray when my daughter gets of age, she wont let a dude enter her unless she either married or he got SOMETHING going for himself!

[jrmetmoi]

@autismpete Totally agree with you lady!

[autismpete]

@jrmetmoi i'm a guy lmfao!!

[jrmetmoi]

@autismpete who cares?

[blodachia]

fuck this gold diggin bitch,the only thing she can do is get a job and stay out of my face.and black women wonder why we hate them.

[qwandiddy]

@blodachia Real Talk, I'm black and I'm married with an Puerto Rican/ Mexican woman.

[qwandiddy]

@blodachia Plus this is why General Black People relationships barely survives after 2 years. 

[Djcole10]

has to be the best gold digger video in the world. i know she does not want a looser.

but no romance without finance. come on thats gold digger. love the song.

[jimmyxanax]

Benchmark house classic.enjoy.

[19ccj65]

RuPaul should have made the queens "lip sync for their life" to this song.

[illmatic826]

EDDIE MURPHY RAW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Damolisher]

"Murphy marries bush bitch." And PS- any slag who AGREES with the message in this song, get your own fuckin' job and your own money. I work for ME, motherfucker.

[NIKWITHHERFINEASS]

Tell 'em girl!

[trvwatson]

sexy big woman

[40mbooh]

R.I.P. Gwen Guthrie.. your music is still da SHAT..

[HousbinPharteen1]

Who produced this video, Ayn Rand???

[Junior42409]

Good bless this women honestly, she has left a legacy.x

[BeautyBdy]

Tell 'em, Gwen! We're independent - but if the man's gonna be in your life, he's got to come correct. R.I.P. Gwen Guthrie...

[MaterialGirlMad1989]

I love this song Gwen Guthrie is great what a diva what a voice what a talent what a song x x

[dealerovski82]

Thumbs up if Eddie Murphy Raw is the only reason you are checking out this video..

[natty871]

@dealerovski82 thumps up hahaha

[qwandiddy]

WOMEN ARE GOOD AT SPENDING THEIR OWN MONEY, EVEN TEENAGE GIRLS KNOWS HOW TO SPEND MONEY ON IMPORTANT THINGS THAN OLDER MEN. 80% OF MEN PERIOD SPENDING THEIR OWN MONEY ON STRIPPERS AND DRUGS.

[qwandiddy]

Paying bills by welfare money is the most embarrasing and saddist thing ever.

[TheErica71]

who want a broke ass woman or man.... Hell not me!!!

[RidingOn30s]

she wrong for them dancers tho the song sounds ok

[Zanyzo22]

Fab 80's tune. You can't beat these good old tunes. Jeremy kyle folk shud take note of this song! Show is full of broke ass fools with one tooth lol

[govtprotester]

fuck her diert this is and will always be the best ever dancefloor filler

[RFSA88]

MOVES!!! AT 2.28 GUY!

[smashingtimemod]

People gets the wrong message from this song, same as Destiny's Child "Bills,Bills,Bills' ,Both songs are saying they pay their own way,their looking for a man who has a job and his own money so they don't have to carry his bumming broke ass!

[jrmetmoi]

@smashingtimemod Exactly

[76discodolly]

@smashingtimemod

I know that s right!!!!

[angelabrandy]

@smashingtimemod Obiviously Gwen cant "pay her own way" b/c she says in the song, "bill collectors knocking at my door." LOL.. I do jam to this song tho. LOL

[Nceron]

@smashingtimemod ...with all due respect. I don't hear that. I've loved this song since the 80's. But.."Boy nothing in life is free...That's why Im askin you what can you do for me?" .....thats a gold digging Anthem! Love it but come on lets get real! LOLOL.

[Nceron]

@smashingtimemod but I agree with that logic....if you dont have your something of your own You cant be with me!!!!! I've worked too hard for some loser to mooch off of me.

[qwandiddy]

@smashingtimemod Agree, but I really like this one (The Beat/ old school) better than Destiny Child joint you mentioned.

[bubblegum8ish]

great song to dance to but, dont take the lyrics to seriously. most of us females pay our own bills.

[northofhome28]

i like how she started the song talking about all her bills. I know brothers are glad she came out with a song to get her bills paid. I like the song but I work and pay my own bills. I don't want someone paying my bills unless we are married. Which I am. My husband is my partner not my caretaker, daddy, or sponsor.

[thecwexperience]

Ain't nothing but the truth!

[Lentsushka]

This song is just so good...

[deathbret]

no romance without finance.....

[DjJeffRush]

Could start by droppin' a few.

[MsFIRSTLADY35]

I THAT'S RIGHT GWEN!!!!!!! SAY IT AGAIN!

[cpos13]

hahaaa this was my favorite song on the a&f playlist! im gonna miss it lol

[caramelistic]

I have got to find this on iTunes

[FinalJusticeMovement]

Thanks, Pete. But this has nothing to do with ME, burned or not. This has to do with men being (and ALLOWING themselves to be treated like financial doormats at the cue of musical and media influences such as this. I caught on her message early on, and thought it was deplorable. You see those highest rated comments up there? Just goes o show how many women LOVE being hookers. Thorne and Pat and the 30 other women (or manginas) love the idea of love as a prostitution exchange --FJ

[MizzDemanding]

@WillShakespeare2007

You hate this shit music you were forced to listen to so much that you went on youtube to look for it? Don't take it so serious man, you sound so frustrated!

[WillShakespeare2007]

@MizzDemanding Yes I looked for it to leave a comment. Isn't that self evident in the fact that there is a comment here? Do you like spending your time pointing out the blatantly obvious?

[whitesongs73]

@WillShakespeare2007

what about the rent

[whitesongs73]

@MizzDemanding

who pay the rent?

[WILKINSONMCMAJ]

RENTS TO DAM HIGH,LOL

[whitesongs73]

@WILKINSONMCMAJ

Word!

[WILKINSONMCMAJ]

no romance with out finances, I tell my hubby that, after 18yrs together and he gets it

[embojitsu]

@MultiMAGICDAN Bollox.

[embojitsu]

@MultiMAGICDAN You can't spell, you write like a teenager and you use the hideous "lol" in conversation. So once again, I say - bollox.

[embojitsu]

@MultiMAGICDAN It's "you're", not "your". Tard.

[embojitsu]

@MultiMAGICDAN Nope - just the other people who can't spell, like you. Suck it up.

[embojitsu]

@MultiMAGICDAN Because five year olds can write better flames than you. It's so boring teaching twats like you a lesson about flaming - all you can do is hurl baseless insults at people who disagree with you, and you can't even write them properly. It's so predictable and dull. You're a boring little You Tube bully who gets their kicks giving pointless orders to people for a reaction. So once again - bollox. This didn't quite work out like you thought, did it? Fool.

[MultiMAGICDAN]

@embojitsu if im such a waste of time, why waste 5 mins of your time on a idiot like me, its clear im touching a nerve, im not even bothering to ready what your wrote, its all aload of bullshit about me anyway....... ciao lol

[embojitsu]

@MultiMAGICDAN "im not even bothering to ready what you wrote, it's all aload of bullshit"....fabulous grammar! It's too hilarious not to wind you up about how much of a complete clusterfuck you are! Seriously! Might take you five minutes to type, takes me five seconds. Keep commenting! It's truly hilarious for all the wrong reasons!

[MultiMAGICDAN]

@embojitsu im not even bothering reading it, your just wasting your time :-)

[embojitsu]

@MultiMAGICDAN Again - "you're", not "your"! Keep replying - I couldn't give less of a fuck if you're reading or not. Keep it up.

[MultiMAGICDAN]

@embojitsu your touchy lol im hitting a nerve... loooooool

[embojitsu]

@MultiMAGICDAN No; I find your particular brand of idiocy oddly enjoyable; the simple fact that you're doing what I ask you to do is in itself hilarious. You can't stop, can you? You insist of having the last word; I just find that amusing, for some bizarre reason.

[embojitsu]

@MultiMAGICDAN Again - bollox.

[v74Bvdmp]

@WILKINSONMCMAJ maybe he goes out kerb crawling!

[Discovios]

True Tune!

[marcopolo691971]

this is a class tune.

[baggers02]

Back in the 80's I saw her at a club in Dunstable Beds - I was with my partner at the time who was pregnant with my daughter, Gwen said - what you're pregnant, a few weeks to go no way then she rubbed my partners bump!! So that's my daughters claim to fame!!! lol!! RIP Gwen! Missed!

[legalgirl2003]

i never ever knew who made this song... WOW big girls RULE!! this reminds me of when black box disrespected the big girl in Everybody? correct me if i am wrong..

[myrtis1102]

Women would never have to sing songs like this if you STEPPED UP and became the HEAD and NOT THE TAIL!!!!!!

[myrtis1102]

It might sound wrong, but there are BIBLICAL principles here!! It should have never been a woman trying to play MOMMY AND DADDY on her own!!!!!! WAKE UP MEN!!! Stop thinking this is just about money, it means step up and be the man GOD called you to be!!!!!!

[FinalJusticeMovement]

Prostitution is ANTI-BIBLICAL,

you estrogenic moron!

--The Final Justice

[MrMbell2]

@myrtis1102 I am a man and your right. The bible says that if a man does not work he shouldn't eat. Which is why I'll always have a good job but my wife has to be has to be able to work too. Their are still housewives out there but I dont want one, because I know to cook and keep a house clean. Coming from a single mother, she made me learn how to do things for myself. If I didn't know I probably would want to get married for mainly domestic reasons. I want a 50/50 relationship at all times.

[Gnat57]

I FEEL YA, SHE IS ROCKING THIS SONG

[PatsBooks]

Nothing in life is free. Why would a woman waste her time on a male, not a man who can't do anything for her. My daddy schooled me earlier. You don't need no man who ain't bout nothin.'

[meterman432110]

this song set the stage for gold digging RIP GWEN

[FinalJusticeMovement]

More like "Rot In hell, Gwen".

--The Final Justice

[ILLSLAPAHO]

ya'll can say what you want but isnt what these chics doing now adays the same shit she talking about..ya'll want a nigga to give ya'll money and shit.a nigga cant even get free pussy no mo..ya'll hos got ya hands out and shit...lolololol

[kasibante]

this big bitch is lucky she came out in the 80s. if she made a mistake and came out now, it would have been fodder for all manner of disses. first, she's overweight, so imagine how the lyrics would have been twisted regarding the issue of money. no romance without finance.....to feed her overweight- ugly ass

[UMustHaveMe]

@kasibante She would have a hard time coming out now, since she's dead.

[myrtis1102]

@kasibante YOU ARE AN IGNORANT ASS, HAVE SOME RESPECT FOR THE DEAD, SHE DIED OF CANCER YOU ASS!!!! You are just mad that you could never be the diva she was, YOU ASS!!

[kasibante]

@myrtis1102

you are damn right i would never want to be a diva....i am a dude! i was reacting to the song by applying the modern perspective; that women no longer expect to just get a man with money. they are also required to go out and get their own. they have equal rights too, so they should also go out and make thier own paper! and you have got to be in denial about the singer's size! u know she would be dissed about it, especially singing about money! btw, i respect the dead!

[Mj4Eternity58]

R.I.P.miss Guthrie

[RMCKIE]

great to hear this fantastic song again.

[bobvar]

I did not know she passed and this was the jam back in the day. I still laugh when I hear this and think of Eddie Murphy -Raw.

[johnpk01]

Bass...............Line.......­...............

[chrisEDmac]

come on gilrs! what ever happened to EMANCIPATION? you don't need a man to pay your rent anymore ...

[loveaffair79]

"Bill colecters at my door what can you do for me" "Heyyyyy"

[baserunner316]

this is why when affirmative action benefits WHITE WOMEN more than any other group, they get hired and promoted first and it's next to impossible for them to be fired that they have the cast iron balls to get behind this shit is EXACTLY why guys need to stick with porn and strip clubs.

[abernam]

Eddie! What have you done for me lately?

[PETEYBLACK]

@abernam

BAHAHAH first thing that came to my mind. IN that African bush woman accent. HAHAH that. and I WANT HALF! And if you have love, and become family. FAMILY. Who cares who supports what? Or who? What if your man becomes disabled? What if your woman loses her mind and becomes mentally unstable. TIL DEATH DO US PART. Divorce killed these kids out there. No father, sometimes no mother, or both. Look at the violence? Look at the state of music? Til Death, unless you are being beaten.

[whitesongs73]

@PETEYBLACK

Just the rent

[qwandiddy]

This is one of my favorite 1986 RnB joints. I just LOVE the lyrics of this song with the beat. But this is putting men with no J.O.B in bad name lol!

[FamousBirthdays]

lots of memories have just come flooded back after listening to this, like why did the person NOT return my Gwen Gutherie record when I borrowed it to him!!!

[GadgetVision]

this videoclip contains social subliminal messages. this is a good way to manipulate masses :) money is a principle

[radiodj1520]

I Love This Gwen Guthrie 1986 Music Video, "Ain't Nothin' Goin' On But The Rent," Which Was The #1 R&B Hit In America.

[DaveWollenberg]

@radiodj1520 Also hit #42 pop in Billboard. God bless! RIP, Gwen.

[go2class]

17 year olds had rolls royces during the crack era..

[drocdroc1]

i need paper... D.ROC....FROM PHILLY...

[shonsdelicious]

This is an ol' skool version of bills, bills, bills; when music sounded good.

[FinalJusticeMovement]

Indeed, it is, Shon.

And neither one of those songs helped

women to get their situation any better.

They only incited more hatred against men...forever.

--The Final Justice

[shonsdelicious]

@FinalJusticeMovement

I agree, the only solution to that is INDEPENDENCE. It says a lot for a person.

[FinalJusticeMovement]

More to the point, just treat people with respect.

--The Final Justice

[mylife425]

Nothin' from nothin' leaves nothin' you gotta to have somethin' if you wanna be with me.....this song is the truth!

[PopCulture20]

@mylife425 you better pay the rent mylife425!!! lol

[XgreenjacketX]

peoples club, prade st, london w1 - nuff said x

[rightknowledgeman]

romance without finance is a nuisance.

[PopCulture20]

@rightknowledgeman you better pay the rent rightknowledgeman!!! lol

[ThePetalbluelite]

The only song lyrics i remembered after first listen, and i still remember them after all these years!

[nextpleasemate]

[chance3473]

this was n still is real talk............

[limitededition44]

einfach genial

[BermudaEntrepreneur]

Oh, I got a job and LOTS of money too. I'm rich. $

The only thing is, my parents put my assets in a trust fund AND told me to get a prenuptial agreement BEFORE I marry and have children. The question is, does that make me anymore or anyless attractive? I'm still the same loving and loyal guy though.

[hellohelluvagal]

I'm from New Zealand and this song went to number one here in 1986/87, making me proud to be a kiwi. This song is a classic - especially the lyrics. Excellent!

[kmhow]

god blessed gwen guthrie its hard to believe she been gone for more then 10 years rip gwen this became athe new woman`s anthem after i will surive

[gravity5]

[airstrip101]

Killer hook!

[mulder2400]

TOTALLY FUCKING GAY VIDEO, good song though. LOL

[mulder2400]

TOTALLY FUCKING GAY VIDEO, good song though. LOL

[johnmcgrath6827a]

super song from the 80's, always thought this should of been much bigger than it was, it was ahead of its time, great track, great post thanks,

[UTubeAngelique]

Excellent.

True 80's jam - we girls loved this back in the day and it sounded so sweet on them old blues speakers! Yes man!
