The ladies of SWV - Cheryl “Coko” Gamble, Tamara “Taj” Johnson-George, and Leanne “Lelee” Lyons - stop by the show to discuss the origins of the group. Coko also talks about how her conservative upbringing led her to rebel by growing her nails out as long as possible.

I never imagined in a million years we would be able to see SWV 30 years later still killing it and doing shows and interviews. My very first album i ever bought as a kid was 'its about time' their debut i remember replaying 'Weak' on cassette so many times and wanting to sound like them they look incredible

[@buddhafortune6166]

Y? Wouldn’t U think they’ll have a good career still They was them chicks in the 90’s and now

[@stwaters1147]

@Buddha Fortune im from new zealand we only get to see what American broadcasters send us which is not much lol we never had nor do we still not have access to watch BET music awards or any of the black artists shows or inside scoop so thats why its such a huge deal for us. We look up to black artists as the golden standard in music in sports in comedy or acting basically everything they do is amazing

[@buddhafortune6166]

@@stwaters1147 u got google not to mention u see what they’ve done in the 90’s why wouldn’t u think they would have a career now? They wasn’t dead. Ya stay hating on SWV . They be them girls they always will be. Ya google and KZbin everything else .

[@buddhafortune6166]

@@stwaters1147 so u stereotypes? They haven’t been on black shows 😂 tf is a black show? SWV is worldwide . They had they own show on we tv. Pls elaborate what u mean by black show? Cause ya sound racist af.

[@Broadtolove]

Hey Stephanie! Apologies for dropping this here I came across your KZbin channel and I would love to know you better. I'm guessing you must be an honest person, because I always found your comments to be so nice and respectful. If it's okay with you, I'd love to be friend but if it sounds odd or embarrassing in any way please don't embarrass me by replying. Have a wonderful day, and keep sharing!

[@CinnCity78]

You would think Destiny's Child would've paid homage to these ladies and anyone else who mentored them before the fame.

[@armandoucles5346]

I saw SWV in concert 2 years ago and they were phenomenal. I'm an SWV fan for life and no disrespect to Xscape, but Xscape has way too much drama, egos and fights.

[@blind_t2]

@@Fourwindsofsuccess I’m a 90’s baby who grew up with both, and I agree with you! I mean, come on, y’all grown women, we shouldn’t be even doing this! find some resolution, leave the ego at the door and do what you do best, work with the new peeps with real talent and show the industry standard peeps how it’s done! look at SWV! they may have had some stuff, but look at em, they over here doing this with class! it breaks my heart to see when the groups we love, the good groups, seem to have a crack in the foundation.

[@codedee]

I’m loving the SWV love in this thread ❤ They deserve it. Their talent is through the roof

[@chriscurry7933]

Don’t do that because when SWV had their show, CoKo was doing the exact same thing as girl from Xscape and the other two members was having issues with her. It just CoKo got her meds for her bipolar behaviors and is happy now.
