Virginia reminds me of where I’m from. I’m from Texas. We have similarities. We’re both southern states that have our own sound, our own world and we make music for ourselves. We don’t need NY, LA or Atlanta to get signed. We do it ourselves.
news flash nigga Virginia, ain't no southern state i don't care how country ass fuck some of those niggas are ( North East State B ) you probably need to take a Geography refresher
There’s something in the water, VA. Missy Elliot, Pharrell, Pusha, Trey songz etc all still look the same. In some cases even better. VA has the cheat code on looking young for life
OMG at 11 timbaland said “must be something in the water” and years later Pharrell creates the Spmething in the water music festival in va beach 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
Grew up in Baltimore but every summer I went up to VA beach to visit my grandma who lived in Norfolk. It makes me smile seeing some things that aren't there anymore in this video
I moved from Massachusetts, to Henrico, then Richmond. I love this state soooooo much! I hope to live here for the rest of my life 🙏🏾☺️💕 (I’m today yrs old finding Trey Songz is from Petersburg)!
My homestate VA, VA stand up represent, we have a lot of good hip hop artist that come from the 804 & surrounding areas, i'm glad this popped up in my recommended section, people be sleeping on our state.
@@1KingCoop crazy thing, VA produced more than just Timbaland and the Neptunes. Nottz, Danja, Bink, Missy Elliott, the best entertainer in the world right now in Chris brown, Trey Songz. And people totally forget about Lex Luger and the fact he is from VA! He is the absolute reason trap music has taken off the way that it has in the last decade. Music literally owe VA a big thanks!
@@VAbulldog82 Exactly!!! And that's what people don't know, Chris Brown from Tappahannock & Trey's from Petersburg & Lex is from Suffolk, which is like a few hours away from where i am, and those dudes been putting in work in the music scene.
To see the land that Williams farm rec sits before it was built again was wonderful. I remember all of that use to be an empty field before they built Diamond springs & rebuilt newtown. Pharrell really made a difference.
Cause we’ve never had an artist to blow on a national level. Much love to Skillz and he’s made his niche writing but VA will always be about the beats until something changes
Agreed. I debate this ALL the time. History puts us in the South. But born and bred in the 757, we're a nice combination of both. For me, the true South start just below us in NC 🤣🤣
I started to slide thru that day and show em what Suffolk was really on💯. Shout out to the Lumbajaxx, Undatakers,FMS,DoD , Wu Syndicate and the Hoffla Boyz. Salute💯 #757
Skillz should have a bigger segment! He was the first rapper that I seen that brought other industry people VA to f with us!!! RIP to my uncle Wah Wah Watson! He is another one unsung!!!!!
I live in Va. I was wondering if they were going to mention Chris Brown. His spot was during the credits at the end. The Seven Cities(Hampton Roads) is a place I will always come back to. It's a gem that most of the world doesn't know about. Va has the Chesapeake Bay, DelMarVa, Blue ridge Mountains, Oceanfront, and clusters of metropolises from Dc to Norfolk, which is already close to connecting to the giant metropolis to our north.
I'm right here!!!! I am Hampton born and raised. No matter what others say about Virginia It may be a little dull but for the most part I love it just for being so underrated and I will rep it until I leave this earth.
I was stationed in ft Lee "Petersburg" VA... it was a HUGE MALL I can't remember what the name of it was but I can verify what dude was saying about that gang culture..... Then dudes was DEEP!!!!
That dude skills is wellin. The first rapper to put VA on the map was Lady Of Rage. When got signed by Death row records she always repped VA in her song even on her cover album
Did this randomly pop up on anyone else's recommended in 2021?
Yes lol I'm like wtf
Yea lol....its weird I live here and don't recognize any of this shit lol
Yes
I’m glad it did...Love seeing my 7 cities!!!!

I miss VA. I loved it there. Different energy there. #757
Man I loved living in Va Beach especially during the summer on the strip.
No cap
It was more 757 than 804 on this episode..... Petersburg got some shine due to Trey Songz..... but there was no scope on Richmond...... IJS
Shit got dark when timb started talking about how depressed he got. Didn’t expect that
Well Aaliyah was brought up so that was to be expected.
I’m sure he knows things that we don’t know also…..

How far hell was D'angelo not on here, he was a grammy artist, and they barely grazed over Richmond with mad skillz.
TRUE
Cause we’ve never had an artist to blow on a national level. Much love to Skillz and he’s made his niche writing but VA will always be about the beats until something changes
They probably couldn’t get D’angelo, he might not wanted to have been on camera at this point after he gained all that weight
@@kevindube7096 yeah he got caught up, but imagine him on a Tim, Pharrell, or teddy produced album
