"Reminisce" is a song by American recording artist Mary J. Blige from her debut album, What's the 411?. The song was co-written by Kenny Greene and Dave "Jam" Hall, the song's producer. The song contains a sample of "Stop, Look, Listen" by American rapper MC Lyte. It peaked at number fifty-seven on the Billboard Hot 100 and number six on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. A more uptempo and hip hop-inspired remix of the song, featuring duo Pete Rock & CL Smooth, later appeared on Blige's 1993 remix album of the same name.[1]

Background

"Reminisce" is a new jack swing song inspired by 1970s soul music.[2][3] The Observer noted that the song "hinted at the loss and melancholy behind much of hip hop's aggression".[4]
