Monie was the second female rapper to be nominated for a MTV Video Music Award for this video in 1991. Neneh Cherry was the first for the best new artist for Buffalo Stance in 1989. Monie love however was the first female to be nominated in the rap video category. She, neneh, and other females during late 80 and 90s are ground breaking.

Riaz Amod I agree! Music today doesn’t compare with the music back in the day!Music today is garbage! I was born in 1992 and I wish music was still like this! Unfortunately, it isn’t! Our generation don’t know what real music is! On top of that some of our generation think this music is wake or lack understanding that this is how music suppose to be! The truth is the reason why our music went to the left because the original person who own B.E.T gave it to the Jews!😞 I don’t know why our people give everything away of the things we create! That clearly shows we don’t value ourselves as a people, and feel that we need other races to do the job for us, or get permission from them or be appreciated by them instead of appreciating ourselves ! They expose it on the show call the boondocks and the name of that show is; B.E.T had a meeting; it’s on KZfaq! It gets more deeper, we use to own a lot of stuff and our people built America; look up the black Wall Street in Tulsa Oklahoma!

This is the "Cool as" remix of the song which was on the b-side of the original version. It sampled Sister Sledge's "He's the Greatest Dancer" long before Will Smith did on "Jiggy With It". It's the version they played on the radio back in the 90's. I too had the cassette single and wore this version out. It's still poppin' even after all these years. I just watched her story on Unsung on TV One and they played the original version. But I remembered this video for the remix with the neon colors and fun animation.
