  • @mrchrisk36 couldn't agree more! This was just groups doing it, nothing like it left, all auto tune voices

    

  • I LOVE THIS!!!

  • Remember when Portrait was on Family Matters??? #CLASSIC...

  • I miss this song Iam glad I found it, it brings back memories!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • See this is how it should be done. Nice beat, no cursing, making a point, and that is it. Today's music doesn't know how to convey with the extreme edge.

  • MAN THIS WUS MY JAM BACK IN THE DAY MAN THEM DUDES WENT HARD ON THIS SONG

  • MIZZ THE DAYZ....COME CHECK MY WALL

  • this is the jam. omg kive the 90s

  • One of the greatest 90s tunes, period! I used to jam to this back in the very early 90s, rockin the rayon shirts, steel toe boots & all dat. I was in 8th or 9th grade, and no this dont make me feel old, I feel young again when I bump this track! You wont get R&B with this much flavor and soul these days, if you want it back, stop buying all that bunk shit, bring this back!

  • Comment removed

  • The 90's when music was music

  • WoW, i havent heard this since 3rd grade

  • Y'all hear this!? You actuially want to...what's that word...oh yeah, DANCE to this! The crap today isn't even worthy of a freakin' finger snap!

  • This was one of my favorite jams back in the day! Old school jams/rap, will always out do the atrocity that has taken over in music today!

  • This was one of my favorite jams back then! I declare, old school jams and rap, will always out do the atrocity that has taken over in music nowadays!

  • OOOOOHHHHHH SHIT!!!! THIS WAS MY JAMMMM! I FORGOT ALL ABOUT THIS! Yes sir I will run this back SEVERAL, several times!

  • Man i dare young artists nowadays to jam like this

  • @dapluva1 they cnt cuz they on whack ass lil wayne an drake they dnt no nuthin bout this..... where the hell has real music gone

  • I WAS JAMMIN IN THE 90S

  • YEAH.... HERE WE GO.... GOING THROUGH THE SAME THING......

  • Why singing groups like these guys are not around today,....perhaps it is because they do not sag their pants, use profanity to express themselves and call females (especially black women) out of their names. It is time to WAKE UP and respect ourselves and our people and our music!

  • I haven't seen this video since high school.

  • CLIMB THE MOUNTAIN, WHAT MOUNTAIN?, SWIM THE SEA, WHAT SEA? SEE WHAT I MEAN? NO, IDK BUT I DON'T WANNA GET TO DEEP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • This group is awesome & not to mention they are very much still in the industry. Shout out to Phillip lead singer ... my old love from Jr. High school.Pray your doing well. Tahra

  • Hey dienqlee If u want artist with good music like Portrait then support groups like these guys. It's up to you this is the information age, most people just listen to their local radio stations and go along with what they hear. Stop with the black card and support good underground or new acts and maybe they will have a chance to blow up.

  • Youtube have "like" buttons... why not "LOVE" buttons?!

  • 4 Usher fans?

  • I was on my way 2 pick up my daughter from school today, and this song jus' all of a sudden popped in my head, great memories, the 90's was on and crackn from every aspect music, movies and the quality of life.

  • This is one GOOD group from back in the day... And their music still rock today.

  • Like if you remember from Family Matters.

  • @yungmoneyD yes, Family Matters was on when I was in high school, but [what] "Like if you remember from Family Matters?" Is that a whom as in a person, or thing or event? Don't follow your subject.

  • @yungmoneyD Yesssssssssssssss! They performed at the school dance and one of them was Waldo's cousin. Classic. R&B groups need to make a comeback.

  • @sdproducer That was a good episode, that's when Urkel didn't want Myra to know he was known as the nerd @ school.

  • great song!!! grown man shit

    different era,song still hot

    not like garbage on radio now!!!

  • @gabnic123 I love that comment bro, real talk. This some grown man shit lol........

  • PURE SOUL!!!!

  • I used to Looooooooooove this song. but the video makes no sense at all Lol!

  • I like it, keep doing what u do Micheal Saulsberry*** ( Madden Ave) Los Angeles CA in da house!!!

  • sample from micheal jackson i can't help it

  • @bigmaine1995 i heard micheal help them make some songs

  • @bigmaine1995 I thought so I have their greatest hits album and in the background it do sound like "I can't help it". They did say Michael Jackson influenced the song when I was reading Portrait history on how they got started.

  • There will never again be a Musical time like the 90's.

  • i love this song Knowing it was sampled from Michaels song thats why I gravitated to it quick

  • This sounds like it was sampled from Michael Jackson's Off The Wall Album

  • @1997wayz The sample is from "I Can't Help It" from the Off The Wall album.

  • @EinahChild I knew it came from that album.i just could not remember the name of the track.Thanks!

  • One of my favorite songs growing up. Their harmony was tight! They were quite sexy too!

  • Most of the folk on Facebook were born after this Chart Topper came out!

  • Listen closely....No autotune!..Awesome joint!

  • @Propsdue - Singers today cannot even talk without auto-tune synthesizing and forget Acappella; just forget about it.

  • I was 12 or so when this came out, tarring the dance floor up!

  • press play..listen..repeat

  • Wow..........man I haven't heard this jam in a long ass time.......Bring classics like these back for the real.......save the ol' skoo!!!!!!

  • this is music

    

  • Let me get this straight. These, cool, talented guys never really hit it big and are now long gone; as are Jodeci, Silk, Intro, the Rude Boys, Today, Guy, New Edition including Johnny Gill, even Boys to Men! They're all basically DONE musically & can't sell SHIT! But, Lil' Wayne, Eminem, 50 cent, Jay-Z, Kanye, even Snoop Dogg, are all still going strong!

    Black Folks, I know it's 'just music' but that is as good a testament to where we are as a people as anything else. WAKE UP BLACK PEOPLE!

  • @dienglee but snoop was making albums when they were out so dont put him or jay z in that same group u should be happy at least thier in the game still

  • @dienglee and classic example soul for real guy and etc etc

  • @dienglee 2 thumbs up to that. Dang! -- Truth!

  • @dienglee they died with the 90's. This was some really good times.

  • @dienglee Amen!! You are so right. I don't know what happen to the black race but it stinks. We really need to get it together. I not trying to down play us if that's what anyone is thinking who reads this but something has got to change and fast. We can't keep going like this. SMH Jesus we need you. You can come in and intervene at anytime. Have a blessed night everyone.

  • snoop came out the same time as these groups he earned his money.

  • @dienglee YOU would be correct. Just heard Heavy D died today, along with 'Smoking Joe' Fraizer. Man. All the good ones are leaving quick, fast, and in a hurry.

  • @VettyP I know. Its sad. Just means Im getting old.

  • @dienglee Yeah I think its a lil deeper than we think though!

  • Love this song!

    The piano player looks a lot like one of my ex-boyfriends. I recall thinking that when we were dating all those years ago. Cute!

  • last good dance song playing.

  • great song

  • damn what happened to them??

  • jams from the 90s are the best.

  • Great Track...I love the 90s.

  • new jack swing at its finest !

  • this is my jam

  • On 0.13, that is a great picture of that girl. That would be the type of style I want in a chick. A cultured 90's woman just like that.

  • real music like this no longer exist

  • Black men singing and havin fun.

    No guns, no mean muggin, no cursing. Didn't need 8 useless idiots on stage doin nothin but holding their genitals.

    Talented people sharing the gift of song. What a concept.

  • @brainnopain Amen to that!!!!!!! I couldn't have said it better!!!!

  • @brainnopain LMBO ..so true. It is a shame that R&B is dying.we have to put up with mainstream music.Thank goodness for You tube!!!!

  • Thats my jam!!!!!!!!! screw the four.........

  • 4 idiots hit dislike i hope your portraits are hideous clearly you don't get the big picture this is real rnb sweeties

  • The beat is from Digital Underground - "The Humpty Dance"

  • @mtaa11 No, this came out before Digital Underground!

  • Four cool assed, smooth assed, harmonizing, young, good-looking, talented brothers

  • 666 people liked this! That makes this song evil. LOL!

  • i love this song!!!!!!

  • No diss to any generation, but if you didn't grow up with the New Jack Swing, you truly missed out on good music!!!!

  • @oharmon i have to agree with you on that one. my generation believes in the crappiest music and honestly i think new jack swing should make a comeback!

  • We need to bring back the new jack swing

  • I miss those days when music was REAL music!

  • this that new jack swing at its best!

  • yeah what happen to music?

  • Four people were born in the mid 90s and were sleeping on the real ish!

  • Love it!! The women in the video has clothes on!!

    Good music from back in the day!!!

  • When music was Music, it had meaning and you could dance to it!

  • 4 People dont know a thing about that New Jack Swing

    This was my jam in college!

  • Shout out to my Uncle Eric Kirkland @ 00:46, me and lil sis went to school braggin' like hell when you and the fellas were on that episode of Family Matters...LOLOL

  • Well dayum is it just me or was Portrait one of the sexiest 90's groups of all time? Lol, I guess I didn't really notice back then but I sure notice now! Thanks for the vid!

  • im pretty sure ive played this song for like 5 days straight!!! this is definitely real r&b....mood music!! i remember when i first heard this song when i was in the 3rd grade...im 26 now and listening to it reminds me of then, no bills, no stress, no obligations!!!! just living life, enjoying the clear and beautiful sunny days!!!!

  • I love the interactions of the couples. It reminds of how couples used to actually kick it which is how my husband and I were. JUST FRIENDS and now we are going on 17 years strong. I pray that for other couples...

  • I like this song a lot but it's not real R&B. Real R&B died with the advent of the drum machine. This is simply pop music. Heavy on the synthesizer, lots of overdubbing, and drum machine rhythms. Again, it's a great song but once you take the drummer out of the drumming it loses it's soul.

  • here we go again with these dislikes! omg... no one knows real music anymore! lol

  • this still my jam... big ups cuz!

  • Man i miss this kind of music. I was in like 3rd grade when this song came out and my brother use to play this song in his car when i would ride with him. The 90's was the shit.

  • @musiclover77able Actually, I meant to say high school years lol. Few years off. Yup Stand up! Whoop Whoop! I was blasting this in the car again recently, can't get enough of this.

  • Good 90's muzik!!!

  • How many wish they could rewind this tape and be taken back in time!!! To get a glimpse of BETTER DAYS! This was the GOLDEN ERA for the late early to mid 30's and over generation! GREAT SONG! BOYCOTT THIS TRASH ON RADIO NOW!

  • Elementary school years. Talents show at school, alot of great times. lol

  • the crap they play on the radio today repeats the same wack ass hook over n over! because the art of writting a song is dead!

  • OMFG! I've been searching for this song for years!!!! That aaaah aaaah reminds me of my favorite artist Janet!

  • classic

  • This song popped back in my head today from out of nowhere so I googled it and ahh sounds soo good.

  • complete old school...

  • *Old Ladies voice* What yall know about that right dere

  • 4people dislike this????? #herewegoagain"stop sleeping on good shit" btw...i am digging the piano player.....phat..pretty hot and tempting

  • @rhahnda76 hell yes he fine, i noticed him

  • 4people dislike this????? #herewegoagain"stop sleeping on good shit"

  • EVERYTIME I LISTEN TO GOOD BLACK 90'S MUSIC LIKE THIS IT MAKES ME THINK ABOUT HOW GREAT NBA 90'S BASKETBALL WAS.....

  • everytime i hear this song, i think about family matters

  • @claudine5386 Same here, on the prom episode when Urkel aint want Myra 2 know he was the School nerd.

  • I love everything about this video - the song (of course), the comradery, the style, the fun - *sigh*. I hope this 90s style returns.

  • this was one of those tracks when u at the dance or club u had to get ur ass on that dance floor and busta bust!!!!!!!!!!one of the illest from that era!!!!!!

  • aw man this is a banga @showtime2614

  • i was born in the 90s my mama listen to this kind of feel good music why it cant be like this now

  • This is what its about!!! lets bring good music back

  • They don't make music like this anymore.

  • I miss music like this!

  • i guess 4 people don't want to go again.

  • That's Theodore "Teddy" Riley For You...Man Gotta Love His Work He's Good!!!!

  • i like this when i was young what year!

  • Does anyone know the year song came out? I remember it well, but I can remember being really young!

  • @lkrsfntc619 1993

  • @JavonteTreble Thanks!

  • I miss the New JAck Sound!! LOL!!

  • im so glad i grew up then....cause if i was a youngster today i would have no soul!

  • Man this takes me back to high school. They just don't put good black folks music to dance to on the radio anymore? All the radio cares about is putting people on the radio to bufoon themselves and be all thuggish. Rnb and hip hop is dying fast!

  • Michael Jackson - I can't help it. Both songs are the shit. Love some MJ and this jam right here.

  • Nice... been looking for this song... thanx!

  • im getting sooo misty eyed i missed these days i was in 4-5th grade!

  • classic!

  • See what I mean? NO

  • A flash back from the past!

  • This is REAL R&B.

    Why can't people make tracks like this anymore?

    Because pop radio is scared of real black music.

  • @Turmarick Absolutely agree!

  • @Turmarick music has changed as well as taste. and i think the general population has grown lazy, complacent and truly enjoy being spoon fed music that has been sampled, recycled, copped and screwed accompanied by an artist with little or no talent with the exception of grinding their pelvises to a mindless beat.

  • @chyman I seriously, seriously agree with you 100% it's disgusting. I missed this era seriously. I won't be ashamed to admit it and I'm a dude, I cry when I hear this music, I grew up listening to these artists. It reminds me of my high school years.

  • @picantesworld77 LOL. it reminds me of my elementary school years :)

  • @Turmarick An instantly recognizable classic even when it was new. Why? You could be on to something my friend...this was timeless

  • @Turmarick ...cause the younger generations aren't being raised in church. that's where the musical foundation came from. now nobody believes in anything any more. just being honest, cause i'm far from an advocate for organized religion, but truthfully the church had given Black ppl structure in many ways.

  • @Turmarick You got that right.

  • great upload selection!

  • What mountain???

  • @catolog96 swim the sea.

  • Dat song is indeed one of my favorites. It would work perfect if it was played @ a club on a Friday night right when a guy's eyin a gal... u know ya both just got eachother's attention & the conversation begins.

  • OHHHHH Snap!!!!
