not them bringing in meelah to sing queens under the table. they played

...and to contribute more than you did while in the group.

nah, that wasn't a part of me thought. she might be a higher level vocalist but that doesn't mean the total girl should be downplayed imo.

[klappa.]

I'm not convinced adding Meelah would have been good for Total either. Vocally it would have elevated them yes, but 90s girl groups were special cause they each had a strong aesthetic too.

Meelah didn't give that hood/ghetto fab look or have the NY edge to her personality.

this, but also i don't like the idea of meelah in total vocally either. her voice brings a different vibe that i don't feel like meshed with total's sound/vibe. meelah sings down but we ain't need all on trippin or can't you see vccx

[klappa.]

So I think I figured out the time line.

Pootie Tangin ( ) came out in 2001, without Meelah. Meelah was working with Faith at the time - she's in the video edit of G Dep's "Everyday" - also released  in 2001. I think the plan was for Meelah to sign to Faith's production company but while they were figuring that out Total were having their issues and they offered Meelah a spot since she was already "around" BadBoy and could lead a girl group.

Yeah that sounds about right.

Then Irish and Misha swallowed their pride and put their ego to the side after things didn't work out with the new member and nobody was checking for 702 without Meelah.

And at the same time, Total couldn't get their shit together for whatever reason, so whatever album they was working on got shelf, leaving the door open for Puff to find/search another girl group enters Dream, 4 white girls from California that were young and marketable to pop audiences.

! Even though I don't think Total would have ever had the Pop success Dream did, it's annoying to learn they actually had more music but their egos ruined it :/

he loves u not had me in a chokehold, ngl. it's a perfect pop record. they actually had a few cuts.

ccxv at all

I don't think this we would have worked.Her voice is too distinct and the sound of 702.

[Vonc2002]

Wait Pam's tone and meelah's voice wouldn't blend perfectly? Yall saying any ol thing
I can hear them SOUNDING amazing  together.  I could see the image thing before the sound. I bet the sound was 
Furthermore,  we literally have Pam telling us in the video that the records they created were heat but alright

I can actually hear Meelah's voice on the second verse of Trippin.

you know wh

if she didn't do too much, i could actually hear that too now that i simmer on it

Since both 702 and Total are now missing members it wouldn't be too late for them to band together now
add Shamari and Brandi from Blaque too and do another "Encore" show on BET

Because Total definitely needs a lead singer. I saw them a couple years ago and

I agree with the Meelah timeline and outside of G Dep's Everyday she was in Faith's You Gets No Love video too.

I always thought Meelah was positioning herself as a solo artist b/c of the Faith relationship and her being featured on Missy's Take Away. But I can't hear her with the rest of the Total (Kima and Keisha). I wish we had a demo or something to reference.

Also, I had no clue Total was supposed to drop a new project in '01 b/c I thought they disbanded after Kima, Keisha and Pam album and that's why Diddy originally ventured into signing Dream

[klappa.]

shamari belongs on tv but i truly don't care what anyone says, blaque got another album in them
