  • Mista's music video for their first single, "Blackberry Molasses." Bobby Valentino singing lead. Very deep song for a group their age. One of my all-time favorites. Enjoy the video!

    According to Outlawz (Tupac's groups) - this was Pac's favorite song during the last month of his life. They said he played this song several times a day leading up to his death in Sept 1996. RIP 2Pac.

      Wow that's interesting to know I was just starting to get into rap music I actually was listening to my very first Tupac session my friend had the whole album so I laid on the bed and listen to it while waiting for her to get dressed while my mom was at the hospital and during me waiting my mom passed away right in the middle of dear Mama when he said if you can make it through the night there's a prior day I just sat up I knew something was wrong... Come to find out we got to the hospital about an hour later she had just passed away and I know I looked right at the clock and when they told me the time my heart sank

    This brings back memories take me back the summer of '96 elementary school days when rap and r&b was still good when 2pac and biggie was still living. I think video came out 2 months before 2pac passing i remember it came out in the summer of '96 I'm glad i grow up in the '90s memories for ever.
