One of my favorite songs of all time is Tank’s - Maybe I Deserve. I am a little late, but I just saw the video! I had the CD when it was released, but never got around to the video.

In my pre-teen years I had a binder in which I would collect my favorite magazine clippings. The prized page were filled with my favorite Word Up! interviews and photos. Dru Hill was always number one. Destiny’s Child was a frequent feature. I was a fan of their first CD. I remember watching many of the videos on BET.
