[@ReubenWills]

This was the Best R&B Album of 2018 hands down. It's rumoured to have Grammy buzz.

[@ikogarcia8122]

Hopefully!

[@genesisdelrey777]

As she should

[@nate8525]

I hope so!!!!

[@JT-ri9we]

Where have you heard this? I HOPE SO

[@R7v4]

Sadly the GRAMMYs love to snub Mimi

[@katylamb2714]

Please do Daydream and The Emancipation of Mimi 😍 pls pls pls

[@miclo22]

Butterfly

[@driedautumnleaf]

DAYDREAM ALBUM? YES PLS!

[@smlrrz]

She actually referenced her song “Breakdown” on the song With You which she preferred as “I’ve been loving you so long, eversince that Bone Thugs song... you ain’t gonna #breakdown you’re too strong”

[@flashnukka]

Yes, that was another all-star collab. Bone Thugs fit that song so perfectly.

[@stupid8911]

One of my FAVE Mariah tracks

[@ramonpadilha9987]

@@stupid8911 Butterfly is a masterpiece album. 🌟🌟🌟

[@jpopable]

Mimi is such a genius and genuine artist! Her Caution album is so underrated.

[@guilhermejunior7556]

I need your reaction to her album Butterfly. It's completely r&b/hip-hop with lyrics that showcases very well her writing skills.

[@danielalbertohernandezrive7131]

Yessssss please she wrote almost the the entire album

[@Solo-vh9fm]

Daniel Alberto Hernandez Rivera she wrote every song that’s not a cover bar a few collabs

[@Monteiroosvini]

Mariah is very good at vocal layers, you can listen to Daydream or Butterfly album, a lot of that and perfectly done.

[@eliasatrapado]

The Bone Thugs song she referenced was her own! She made a song with them in 1997 for her album Buttferfly! The song is called Breakdown.

[@lorenzoruiz9441]

One of her best albums and she played the strings in "Portrait". You need react to the best Mariah album, Butterfly!

[@flashnukka]

LOL she helped with the arrangement but did NOT play violin. That was Serena McKinney Goransson.

[@DA-lq7mm]

She did not play the strings 😂😂😂

[@danielalbertohernandezrive7131]

Yessssss please react to BUTTERFLY 🦋 it is amazing it is RB and hip hop

[@lorenzoruiz9441]

Mariah with Serena plays the strings, in the credits of the song appears genius.com/Mariah-carey-portrait-lyrics

[@nathan-kv9gy]

flashnukka she literally has credits for it

[@FeliciaElsa]

I really loved your review! I was also born in 1990 and as a long time fan of Mariah, even I was very impressed with that album. 28 years in the game and her catalog is still immaculate! There is absolutely no one in this current industry that has her longetivity and her ability to come out with incredible beats, insane vocal acrobatics and impeccable pengame. How does she do it? I don't know. She's just unmatched and in a league of her own.

[@joenerbangero5691]

Elsa M ditto darling! 🍷

[@adriankai2516]

Mariah is the OG of crossover with hiphop. She had fantasy remix and stuff back in the 90s

[@melodioustwin]

Her pen game is strong.

[@KeneSuperStar]

I like the way you react honestly to MC. And you looking good too keep up baby.😍

[@mikeygee16]

You should def react to her Butterfly album.

[@DRB112792]

Such a great great album and her ear is off the charts. You really oughta dig through her catalogue. I’d recommend a lot of her remixes, Butterfly, Emancipation, and Chanteuse. She has songs with Bone Thugs, it was a reference to herself, and never worked with B2K.

[@McBobaa]

I never really listened to Mariah other than some singles, but this album surprised me so much, it's so amazing!

[@katylamb2714]

Please do Daydream and The Emancipation of Mimi 😍 pls pls pls

[@alexisfrutos2307]

She produces and writes most if not all of her stuff it’s crazy! Even if she wasn’t the talented singer she is know for, she still is crazy talented.

[@giulianacr2638]

Yes dahlinggg! Her writing alone is so underappreciated. She's so gifted :')

[@cdaugherty9118]

Make sure you listen to Runway! It's the Japanese promo that was unfortunately not given to us....yet!

[@trendaddy3533]

So crazy you don’t know who blood orange ,I feel like you’d LOVE him and what he’s done. Also in with you when she says “bone thugs song” she’s referencing a song she wrote and did with bone thugs in the 90’s

[@katylamb2714]

Please do Daydream and The Emancipation of Mimi 😍 pls pls pls

[@touchmyrainbow]

this was 100% hip hop and r&b, the final track Portrait was included because that's her thing, since the late 90's her albums consist of mostly really good r&b tracks with the last track always being a powerful ballad. If you wanna react to more of her I'd recommend both butterfly and the emancipation of mimi, her 2 best albums IMO.

[@tlobrown5381]

Mariah also has a 2009 album known as Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel. Its pure hip-hop and r&b and its one of her best albums in my honest opinion.

[@codywalsh2075]

Love that album, the background vocals and harmonies are on point 😭😍

[@joenerbangero5691]

Ditto! Love the reprises and interludes. The beats were insane and the Jodeci references were just 👌🏽

[@eliasatrapado]

Also loved your reaction! I think you’d love The Emancipation of Mimi!

[@katylamb2714]

Please do Daydream and The Emancipation of Mimi 😍 pls pls pls

[@abel6147]

We definitely wanna see more Mariah reactions. By the way, there's a bonus track for this album called Runway (only released in Japan, but it's on youtube), and it's easily one of the best songs on the album.

[@stupid8911]

Right? The visuals for that song would have been awesome. I love Mimi, but hate it when she does fire tracks for only Japan! I'm like, "What do I need to do as an American to make bonus tracks come to us?!"

[@bronchitisyt4755]

@@stupid8911 well japan does respect and show heavy amounts of love to the OG's in the game

[@adityabayusachroni9213]

Mariah is Queen of Layering Vocal 😍❤️👸

[@danielcrotty8697]

Mariah is actually a big hip hop fan. Someone asked her what she listens to a while back and she said mainly hip hop.

[@eleeveeayees3425]

That's why she does not know most pop stars in this generation.

[@smlrrz]

Never been this early to your video. I hope to see more reactions of yours to her discography particularly to BUTTERFLY & DAYDREAM album 🙏🏼

[@Luke_Balbino]

I always love your Mariah reactions!!! This album is the real deal, one of my favorites!!! Btw you should definitely react to her "Butterfly" album which is the lambily's bible 👌🏼🤗

[@randomheh9385]

Please react to Butterfly and Daydream by Mariah Carey

[@nicky8nene]

Finally!! been waiting for Mariah's album review from you. Glad that you start with Caution. Love this album so much. You got a new subscribers! Keep it up, and you're cute.

[@nicky8nene]

pls do The Emancipation of Mimi and Butterfly. all time favs!

[@MrMihaelp]

8th Grade is my favorite, speaking about the beat man, it's Timbo on the production, what else could be but a complete greatness! :)

[@0ldsoul]

Butterfly, The Emancipation of MIMI, E=MC^2, and Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel are all R&B/Hip-Hop centered albums. Pretty much all of her albums after 1997 are. You should give all of those a listen! Caution is definitely one of my top 5 favorite albums from her.

[@smlrrz]

Blood Orange was actually the sound producer of the song Giving Me Life while 8th Grade was produced by Timbaland

[@deadworms]

The album is soo underrated. What's happening with people's music taste?

[@tlobrown5381]

Mariah has always been heavily hip-hop influenced especially since the mid 90s. She has plenty of R&B/Hip-Hop tracks and they are all iconic. Mariah has always been multifaceted.

[@giulianacr2638]

Thank u thank uuuu for this reaction! IMO Caution is the best album since TEOM. The collabs in Caution are brilliant, especially Timbaland's. I also like the Japanese bonus track Runway, you should listen to that one, the message is beautiful :)

[@codywalsh2075]

You need to react to Runway, the bonus song for caution.

[@mezmerized4lifejay654]

Her best reviewed album in forever. Def gotta check out Mariah's "Emancipation Of Mimi" 🔥

[@ericklualhati697]

One of her best comeback album is "Emancipation of Mimi", she had a lot of awards on that album at Billboard and Grammy's ❤️

[@VI.VIII.V]

Not too many people understand how much input she truly puts into her songs and albums. She doesnt just go into the studio and sing. She has always behind the whole creative process. From the songwriting to working with the producer/s... she is truly an embodiment of music. I loved your reaction btw

[@driedautumnleaf]

So true!

[@rrrr9783]

Please react to The Emancipation of Mimi it will NOT disappoint you

[@suzyhits]

As a longterm Mariah fan, I cried after listening to this album because even I didn't expect it to sound sooo good given just how long she's been in the game. It's so rare for older artists to sound THIS GOOD decades after their debut. What a genius!!! What a perfectionist. What a once-in-lifetime talent. And it's a wonderful thing to see that she is still in love with music.

[@danilocavalcanti7362]

Do the butterfly album!!

[@deandrake2723]

Great reaction. Best r&b album of 2018 according to critics.

[@joshuasanders7747]

Reading all these comments, I’m wondering why noone’s recommending Charmbracelet? Hello, hip-hop, urban, rnb? #justiceforcharmbracelet Also would love a glitter review.

[@vanessam.mpantig886]

Try The Emancipation of Mimi platinum edition album of mariah carey

[@matheussampaioo]

wait till you listen to the emancipation of mimi..

[@steviehollander7456]

You're a cool dude, and you getting Mariah and Banks made me subscribe. Keep getting it

[@fbasha9270]

If you love hip hop do "Butterfly" album. Mobb deep, Bone Thugs and a song she cowrote with Missy Elliott

[@LalaMontenegro1]

Mariah Carey is one of the greatest Soul/RnB/Hip-Hop singer/songwitrter of any generation. She did grew up in New York and was raised by an opera singer mother who nurtured her talents both as a vocalist and as a songwriter. She, however, just loves in general and does not limit herself to RnB/Hip-Hop having worked with from Pavarotti and her own mother in opera, Tony Bennet in Jazz/Blues to Bone Thugs in Hip-Hop, to working with rock bands like Journey and Def Leppard. One thing that sets Mariah Carey apart from other singers is how she incorporates the perfectionism of classical music, spirit of soul music and the edginess and angst of Rock and Hip-Hop.

[@milfordhalligan763]

there is an additional song to this album released in japan called "runway". i would love a reaction for that song.

[@adjj8512]

Wow! This was my request! Thank you for reacting to Mariah's Caution Album:)

[@attyjosh]

You should listen to Breakdown by Mariah Carey. I'm 100% confident you will like it.

MORE MARIAH CAREY PLEASE

[@stevekhan5922]

Please react to Mariah Carey’s 2008 album “E=MC2”.

[@septemberbabii16]

It's funny that he says he thought of her as a "hip-hop singer" when most people don't give her enough credit of being an important figure in hip hop so sir, I thank you lol

[@tyler-iy9ms]

AND DAYDREAM + BUTTERFLY

[@instasingingvids3529]

Yay!!! Glad someone new finally reacted to the Caution album.

[@callan9767]

1997s Butterfly was her first truly “urban” R&B album, a lot of critics have credited it for being a pioneering album of crossover R&B/Pop/Hip-Hop. I think you’ll also like 2005s The Emancipation Of Mimi too. I’m sure you’ll recognise the hits It’s Like That and We Belong Together from that one! It’s also one of her most upbeat albums.

[@Music-wh9bk]

Steven can you do LIBERATION by Christina Aguilera? i would love to hear your thoughts

[@areneem87]

Mariah would consider herself an R&B artist since 1997 with Butterfly. Before that she was heavily marketed as a pop ballad singer due to Tommy Mottola’s regime. Butterfly is a perfect album from start to finish, it has everything. She has many more great r&b albums but Butterfly is probably the best.

[@JMacx]

Thanks Idol Steven. Caution rocks

[@ArtbyKurtisEdwards]

Everyone is telling you do to Emancipation or Daydream. . . Na, do the last two albums before Caution. Pure album bliss though they were never that popular on the singles side.

[@harty02_02]

Yeah, Me I Am Mariah... is such a great album too!

[@ArtbyKurtisEdwards]

@@harty02_02 Me. I. Am. Mariah and Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel remind me of the 'concept albums' I loved from big rock bands like Smashing Pumpkins or Led Zepplin.

[@lindsaypeterson1934]

Really enjoyed this reaction video! I'd love to see you react to her 1997 album, Butterfly. It has her song "Breakdown" with Bone Thugs that she referenced on "With You", and it is truly just a masterpiece of an album!

[@princestory26]

You're absolutely right, Mariah LOVES hip-hop and it really shines through in pretty much all of her albums from the daydream album onwards. Heck, we even get a glimpse of it in her debut album when she "rapped" in her song "prisoner". Mariah's cadence is actually very hiphop/rap and it's super prominent in the "butterfly", "rainbow", "charmbracelet", and "the emancipation of mimi" albums.

[@SuperChiko]

This is a beautiful ablum 🌟🌟✨✨

[@reevancarey]

You need to react to Runway, the Japanese only release version of this album! You will be blown! She sampled her own song Butterfly! #masterpiece

[@memolara4089]

You need to react to Daydream, Butterfly and the Emancipation of Mimi!

[@maryamtara2934]

I like your reaction you’ll like E=Mc2 Emancipation of mimi and rainbow Are really hip hop-ish

[@bayduvegrolode4531]

Thanks for reacting! It's a masterpiece but sadly underrated.

[@OsCaRmTz14]

I just graduated from grad school and got my Masters in Music. As part of my requirements I had to publish a thesis work on a musical work. I chose Mariah’s album Butterfly since it is considered her magnus opus, I compared and contrasted all her previous albums to Butterfly and how they differed and show a less urban side of her. If you liked Caution you will definitely like Butterfly (1997) (including the remixes), The Emancipation Of Mimi(2005) and maybe every Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel (2010) as they are all very R&B/ hip hop influenced.

[@curtisjsama]

Oscar Martinez where can we read your thesis?

[@OsCaRmTz14]

Curtis once’s it fully published by the publisher I’ll post a link here!

[@champagneslurpee]

This was so great, Steven! Just discovered you being that I am a fan of Mariah Carey and stumbled upon this reaction. The Emancipation of Mimi (Deluxe Edition) is def your next stop in getting Mariah’s Hip Hop essence and it is one of her best works since Butterfly.

[@strangerthings88]

You seriously should have done her first album it makes no sense to do her last. Plus she’s been doing mostly hip hop/RnB since 97. Also yes she’s said many times she grew up loving hip/hop as much as everything else. Great reaction ❤❤

[@instasingingvids3529]

The talking on the track Giving Me Life is from the movie Trading Places there is also a Japanese extra track from this album called Runway you should react to and look at the lyrics

[@seanm8083]

you HAVE to listen to TEOM, Daydream, and Butterfly. Absolutely ICONIC albums

[@marirey5779]

This is one of the best R&B albums that has been released in a long time. It has it's own sound and vibe, which makes you want to repeat. BTW, this is classic Mariah. Dropping beats and having amazing collaborations. Her reference in "With You" : "I've been loving you so long, ever since that Bone Thugs song" is related to "Breakdown" off her Butterfly album. They are featured on it. The remix of that track is amazing. Check it out! That album is dope!

[@Izzy-sg1kg]

Listen to her bonus track runway, her bonus track for Japan !!!

[@Solo-vh9fm]

The live whistles from the Caution song are better than the studio version Also the talking from Giving Me Life isn’t Slick Rick it’s sampled from a movie (I can’t remember the name of it)

[@kaylamorano8034]

Do Mariah Carey shadiest diva moments part 1,2,3, and 4 please

[@charlesemusicofficial]

Mariah Carey is the originator of the pop and hip hop crossover. Before her pop wanted NOTHING to do with hip hop. But when Mariah released the Fantasy remix featuring ODB (old dirty bastard) Mariah Carey actually had to fight her label because they didn't want her to do it because they thought it would hinder her career but she did it and that's why in the hip hop and pop community that moment is so ICONIC. After that Mariah collabed with TONS of hip hop artist to Bone Thugs and Harmony and Jay Z to the Bad Boys to Nicki Minaj to Gucci Mane.

[@andrewgarfield9898]

My favorite on the album is The Distance!

[@alphamunerick]

You should definitely listen to "The Roof" from Mariah's Butterfly album

The Emancipation of Mimi!! You won't be disappointed.

[@tlobrown5381]

There is a bonus track from this album called Runway you should check it out one of the best songs on the album. And you should definitely listen to some of her recent albums they are spectacular.

[@Filotus]

Loved your commentary. You're smart and can appreciate this type of music and art.

[@bronchitisyt4755]

Fun fact: theres a song called "Runway" where she samples her own song "We Belong Together" and "Butterfly" which was only released in Japan for there hard dedication in supporting Mariah Carey

[@andrewgarfield9898]

This whole album was fire. No skips

[@queenbee6154]

You have a really keen ear! Great reaction, please react to Emancipation of Mimi or Daydream

[@nysongbird]

Mariah has always been influenced by r and b and hip hop. She grew up listening to it and has always loved it. It’s the kind of music she wanted to make. When she was signed to Columbia they *cough cough* Tommy wanted her to be a pop artist. He wanted her to sell records and pop sold. Mariah was very clever though because in every album you could hear her sneak some r and b in there. You can even get a small (very small) taste on Music Box. I noticed it even more on the Daydream album. I think her first true r and b crossover album was for sure Butterfly which if you haven’t already YOU MUST listen to it from start to finish and do a review video for us.

[@hausensdaydream9319]

Please do Butterfly and/or Daydream! Her two best albums...
