Tag: Miss Thang

The year was 1995 when her debut album released. She was a 14 years old, Atlanta native and was a part of the younger artists crew when it came to R&B. It was Aaliyah, Brandy and of course Monica. “Miss Thang” was released in July 1995, and Monica was definitely one of the greatest voices heard at the time. With a string of hits underneath her belt, Monica to me is underrated and doesn’t get the credit she definitely deserves. Hits like “Before You Walk Out of My Life”, “Why I Love You So Much”, “The First Night”, “Just One of Them Days”, “Still Standing”, “Street Symphony”, “Angel of Mine”, and her two very biggest joints to me are “The Boy Is Mine” with Brandy and “So Gone.” Monica to me was always good and I definitely enjoyed her music but she used to be boring to me. She would just sing, she didn’t do anything else but now, today, I can listen to her for a while. Her 2003 album “After the Storm” is my favorite album of her. It was the only album I heard from beginning to end, the only Monica album I own, besides a single CD of “So Gone”, and after hearing her other albums, it was the most dopest one to me; “The Boy Is Mine” would be my second choice. The Monica we all know and see today is married with three beautiful children and she’s still singing her ass off and looks amazing too. I love seeing both hip hop and R&B legends be this person of greatness. We grew up on their music, album after album, banger and banger, and they’re still here with us while we give them all of our love and appreciation. Monica is also seems to be super down to earth and a very cool person. I would love to meet her someday. Salute to a legend. Always and forever will be the legendary Monica aka Miss Thang.
