#Ashanti #JaRule #Remastered
Ashanti was the biggest and the baddest female artist at this point of time IDGAF
Crazy how big Ja Rule was at this time too lol say what you will about him but he gave us some timeless hits
Princess of rap ❤
1 Alicia keys 😅 2 Eve 3 Ashanti 4 Christina Milian
Amerie was giving her some good competition though
@@D_2387Ja is trash.
The new generation will never understand how iconic this song is.
I'm literally 13 years old and I listen to this song.
True
@@maegirl7554 nice taste!!!🎀
I know right
@@maegirl7554 she doesn't mean our generation, she means the NEW generation, the alpha generation that goes from the 2012 to the present, i think you're from 2007 or 2008 so you're from the generation z, is not talking about you lol
Damn, back then R&B had substance.
Imagine a world where Baby Phat, Rocawear, Fubu, and NBA headbands/Jerseys can all live together in peace and Harmony. That’s the early 2000s for you.
I’m 30 years old and this song takes me back to 2002 when life was all about playing outside and playing PlayStation 2. Man what a time to be a kid 😊 miss those days.
Yep now all the kids are all glued to their phones or iPads - how sad is that. I’m glad I didn’t grow up with mobile phones! And enjoyed playing outside
And also watching Dragonball Z on Toonami
Omg almost made me cry for real
Same
Yo! This! THIS!! Yes Indeed!
I swear you couldn’t escape Ja Rule & Ashanti in 2002 man, they were EVERYWHERE
Ha Ha Ha 😂😂😂😂😂
Good One
I listened to them alot back then!!! Miss those days 😔
They were the Beyonce and Jay-Z of the early 2000's
YES!!!! They had so many hits. Glad to know she rose above the Murder Inc. drama.
Merry each other
JA Rule & Ashanti = Best Combo!
22yrs already??? Mama and papa I'm soooo sorry for calling you OLD!!!
😂😂😂😂😂
Right?!
if only these new generations realize how Ashanti was huge back then.
I remember she won 8 billboard awards in one night and popping consecutive # 1 hits.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks today's music blows chunks!! I graduated h.s. the year this came out, how I long for those days.
RONY HITALIA achi
like i as born in 1999 and I do agree that some of the music back then was good and some wasn't ad that hasn't changed some music is good and some isnt
Yeah that's what she was saying at a concert of hers I just went to the other day. But what sucks is they had to give some of those tickets away. I felt bad for her
RONY HITALIA wow, is u so good the last nice.😉
I MISS THESE DAY'S SO MUCH I FEEL LIKE FUCKING CRYING ...the music nowadays just doesnt compare.
ikr
I remember getting this album as a 6th B-day present! Good times.
Come on Ashanti make a comeback !
Mikey V hell yeah!
I feel you! I did cry on a few songs. Life was good, music was good etc etc
This takes me back to the 2000s

When class in women was still a thing
There are still classy women. Not all women are ratchet.
If you search this song by yourself you have a great musical taste ☺️✨
Playing this at my wedding! ❤
@@2jcward perfect , congratulations 🎉
Damn. Not a smart phone in site. Beautiful.
Lmao smart phone in the 2000s? Come on now
@@lafoo5023 are you stupid? He is saying its beautiful that there isnt a smartphone in site. Saying things were better in the 2000s. Get it genius?? Theres always somebody who tries to act like theyre smarter than everybody but then in turn say something that makes them more stupid than everybody lmao i bet your parents are proud👌
Or trashy tattoos
You old people annoying.
@@kaylad4486 old?! Who said I'm old! Kids like you are even more annoying and don't have a damn clue what life was like without them! Much better let me tell you sunshine ;)
Those dance moves 😍 No twerking in sight!
Good old days 😫
Yes, classy
Shut up!
Word
Everything is so incredibly sexualized nowadays. Good to see some class.
This song immediately puts me in a good mood. It’s one of those songs that makes me wanna smile while singing along.
Exactly. I totally agree with you today. And this song is 2 decades old or close to it. Stay safe
@@user-mk3uu6br2p you as well

Hi!!! The best year ever!❤
This song never gets old ❤

The early 2000's was like The 90's 2.0
+Illuminati TRUTH TRUTH TRUTH ... The 90's to the early 2000's was just a time to cherish musically
+Ron Shady you mean 2006 when soulja boy came out
+Illuminati
They always say it takes 4-5 years to really transition into a new decade....the early 2000's still had a lot of 90's "residue" on it.
Things started going downhill in '06
+Ron Shady no ... After 06, 07 when soulja boy came out
+Illuminati I only like 90's, and 20's songs but the 21's suck ass with justin bieber kid, Taylor swift and shit they are rubbish at singing.
Now that 2000s nostalgia is big, Ashanti's musical legacy grew in stock.
😂😂
It was gonna grow regardless.

this video screams early 2000s, from the casual clothes to the neighborhood vibe! I remember where i was working when i had this cd. Ashanti was one of the few singers that I kinda idolized. i remember the cd booklet with the different looks and writing. Loved!
I wish Ashanti was as big as Beyonce today.
I like how the girls dressed simple and didnt have to try as hard as they do now
Right?! There's so much color and personality yet it's cute and just worn perfectly by everyone!
It's how society expects women to be now but i personally prefer the relaxed and laid back vibe
Yeah, this was when they could keep their clothes on and still get hella people watching if they had talent.
Damn straight.... 😁😁😁😁 she beautiful like the words
so true. The 90s and early 00s were such a similar time. cargo pants and crop tops or jeans and a cute and talent. Lots of talent.
Man o man !! Can I go back to these times , no social media, no high tech iPhones , no worries in life lol
THANK YOU! Finally, somebody agrees
yupp
+Jackie V YESS! I'do do almost anything to go back to this time. I crave it and miss it so bad. I don't care about the fact that we'd have no Facebook, Twitter, UA-cam or any of the current technologies today. I just want to go back to that time. I miss it so fucking much. You don't even know.
+MissNayNay SAME!
Word!
37 and damn I feel old ASF I was in 9th grade when this cut dropped❤
37 is not old hell 47 not old
Ashanti stayed with that little 2step
Who’s watching this in quarantine?
This is real music, we were blessed to listern this master Pierce

Proof that shaking your ass to come up doesn’t make you great. It’s what you deliver through your music. Love Ashanti ❤️
Absolutely correct 💯
And natural bodies were ok...unlike now where most got work done and they all look similar ....
all day. this is real "content"
I mean, doesn’t mean she wasn’t fkn Irv Gotti to get to the top tho… lol but she’s still a early 2000’s legend 🔥

Yah
90s and early 00s were the best era of music tbh. miss those days!!
I agree
Yes,of course especially for R&B music :-)
50's and 60's for sure
i miss those days as a kid
no lie
There was a time there was no social networks , life was simple and lyrics meant something real ❤
There was social networks but it was something interactive like creating those MySpace pages and putting all background colors stuff and the music you like, hi5, messenger but nothing like today social media it's dangerous
Life was beautiful before social media
Ashanti sister is genius 🎉❤❤
Good old days. I miss music like this.
Same here, they need to bring that early 2000s feel back again.
Nesha Britwood dancehall is better music now
The early 2000's are the 8th wonder of this world. Pure facts.
The 2000's was a golden era

Ashanti seriously one of the best vocalists Ever and such a lovely aura and personality and stunningly beautiful

Ashanti and Aaliyah were 2 of the most beautiful caramel-skinned, Nubian goddesses I've ever laid my eyes on.😍😍😍
He'll yeah
So was Beyonce that ebony skin tone with a naturally glowing look
Don't forget Brandy and Monica :)

Love all their outfits at 3:19 ❤
ill forever be grateful for growing up in the early 2000s
This Video makes me think of Happy times. The 90s & Early 2000s was the Golden/Silver age when the realms were touched by the Heavens(God). And when Music Videos had LIFE and COLOR and SOUL to them. The Nostalgia gives you that Vibe where Life felt like you were in Another Dimension back then like Heaven on Earth. Reminds me of waking up in the morning in the Summertime and how everyone would be outside, and when the Air was FRESH and PURE. Seemed like the Sun always Shined those days. People were more Real and knew how to come together and Live and Kick it. Good times...
couldn't have said it better. gooood times...
This; i wish i could give this 1000 more +1's. Man those were the days.
SoulKidVids You just took a nigga back Family! Word!

@@brandondetroitfanmichaels4325 Still love and listen to Murder Inc. It was the simple music and definately feel good music!!! Ja rocked J Lo, Ashanti etc. 50 acted like the both couldn't exist but grew up in same neighborhood. Ja was rapping with DMX, now that's realer than real!!! RIP My DOG, Legend, and GOAT!
Real talk
Hearing these songs bring back good memories when life wasn’t so stressful. These songs make me never settle because it boost my ego and confidence
Everything was about boosting your confidence, and uplifting back then… now it’s all about trying to flex on the next person, or make everything a competition… it’s very perplexing how the human mind works. I remember feeling like no matter where I went I always still felt like I was in the comfort of my own home, and even strangers felt like family. Everything, and everyone was full of life, and now It’s like everything is the complete opposite. The light, and sun rays literally don’t even shine, or glisten off your skin like they used to. The sky’s aren’t as blue as they once were, and the clouds don’t look the same anymore. Everyone is dead inside, and the genuine smiles aren’t the norm like they were 20+ years ago. Nothing is colorful as it once was, and it almost seems like there’s a grey tint over everything now even on the bright, and sunny days. Peoples sense of humor isn’t even the same, and have become heartless. Also it’s much deeper than social media ruining everything. Someone may read this, and think I’m being cynical, or pessimistic, but I never once said I dwell on these things, can’t find joy in the present moment, stay stuck in the past, or not thankful to be alive still. Things could always be worse, but I know what I’m saying is the truth, and God knows it.
This is still one of my favorite songs! It will never get old I’m still listening to this and it’s 2023!
I have always been a huge fan of Ashanti since a child, she’s very pretty and talented. Her, TLC, and Aaliyah were my favorites
Same here! It's like a breath of fresh air listening to this song and watching this music video too
Lol at Irvs face at the end😅😂
CiAEL
Vous êtes d'accord avec mes copines
Are they?Your pretty too 😉. I'm was young too.Sooo young that I still had my virginity😂😂I was scared it😂😂
I'm a 25 year old man and listen to this stuff still... don't even care if it's a girl song or not I'll always love these classics, makes me happy as shit listening to it. Fuck trap music and what things have become, I'll always be living in the past as far as hip hop/rap/rnb goes.
Jesse Holiday I'm the same age and agree, but I enjoy some trap music :x Also Ashanti fine af now
+Jesse Holiday - I'm a 26 yr old and love this song and her voice. Ashanti and JaRule made Murder Inc amazing. Str8 memories.
+chownful Ashanti was always fine AF :-)
2023, ONE OF ASHANTI'S BEST SONGS EVERRRR!! LOVE IT
Damn the nostalgia, 106&Park classic
the Younger Generation would not Understand the Vibe that these type of music had also the early 2000s brought unless you were growing up in that Generation.
Exactly it was amazing no Instagram little to no cell phones. We had the best of everything if you ask me 😊
@@najeewilliams3320 you had them Nokia 32.10 and Nokia 33.10 yes you are Immensely right very well spoken you had none of this social media crap and people had better communication skills unlike now.
@@najeewilliams3320 very well spoken 100% Agree in what you said.
Back when we would have to buy the album to listen to our favourites.
Right!
+babowman3 When we had to get off our asses & go to the store to get the CDs!!!
Napster came out early 2000's so downloading was popular already by then.
True audiophiles still buy CD's as the sound quality of MP3 does not compare to CD.
+Daniel Zha it's also nice to have it in your hand. it's like a memory in a way
+Daniel Zha True audiophiles buy LPs better sound than any CD.
I remember these days 😍🥰❤️🤩
Greetings ashanti y ja rule 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🫠🫠🫠🫠🥰🥰🥰👌👌👌👆👆👈👈👉🤘🤘🤟🤟🫶👽👽👽
ashanti and ja rule best duo
I love Ashanti and ja rule
Hell yea
Nah that would be Aaliyah and Timberland. Ashanti and Rule we're great together though, don't get me wrong.
So truuuu

Man this era was so beautiful like everything about it is just one of a kind , not to mention murder inc and G unit had the game on lock
She is a favorite of mine! 😘You got GREAT taste in music
Lorenzo Franco I know fifty and ja had beef , but it was way more entertaining than soulja boy vs chief keef like they brought out good music during that era which is what lead to my comment
Lorenzo Franco well a couple lol
Lorenzo Franco R.U.L.E. came out after the beef subsided and was a solid album imo.
sperrotta91 yhh my uncle use to jam that back in the day
Man if I would of known that this Era would be the best I would of cherish every moment good days
Had such a crush on ashanti back in the day. Saw her perform in 2019 and she STILL got it!
I'm so glad she's doing great her and nelly back together!!!
Damn I feel old watching this (26 now)! Me and my sister was both jamming to this song back in '02 and I'm a guy! This summer...hell all the summer's of the early 2000s had amazing and feel good music. They call the era when the Disney movies such as The Lion King, Aladdin, Milan etc, the Disney Renaissance because all those movies were just great. I truly feel from 2000-2005 this was Hip Hop/RnB Music Renaissance. You just felt something good in the air when music during that time came on the radio, and it was a time before true digital downloading and we all had our CD/Album collections. This was a time when we was watching 106 & Park Top Ten Live w. AJ & Free, MTV Jams, TRL, etc. Just a great time for music in general!!! Miss those days!
100% agree.
+MysticMan_07 AGREE.. i was 12 in '02 now (26).. around that time there was some feel good R and B/ hip hop songs.. i had a blast in the summers of the early 2000's , i remember when shaggy came out with 'It Wasn't Me' in '02.. everybody at my middle school was on that..
+Jaey Paschal so true u said it all right there thats what up 👍💢
MysticMan_07 that what up baby girl boo boo
I have many great memories from this Era as a kid, all thanks to 60's-2000's music, I'm 20 yrs old.
Who remembers Ashanti always being on MTV when MTV was MTV ? lol I miss those days. 😭
ikr
Musik
What's MTV? Is that the music channel where they constantly play one music video called "Mute"?????
kenterminatedbygoogle please go play in traffic and get the fuck off my post.
kenterminatedbygoogle don't speak to your mother like that
Ashanti came and got famous after Aaliyah but the worlds most talented record lady of year 2000 and that era was Queen and Angel Aaliyah. Aaliayas music was so advanced that even you listen to her tracks today, it sounds like a new song. God took best singers so early, Bob Marley, 2Pac, Aaliyah and Michael J. Later came Beyonce, Rihanna JLO, Keisha Cole, etc.
I miss tf out of this time in my life. I’m reliving it now she and Nelly are back together ❤❤❤❤❤
if you were of age, this was such a great time.
what was it like?? I thought my teenage years would be like this. NOPE
man I used have biggest crush in Ashanti, dam I was like in the second grade, Now Im 24 holy shit times have changed, I prefer music from back then tho anytime
I still got a crush on her lol
Shiiit even I got a crush on her and I'm a straight white female lmao.
+Proteinhead92 I still have a crush on Ashanti and I'm gay now, she can get it.
+Proteinhead92 Haha exactly the same here! Back then as a young teenager I was checking all her clips just bcs of her.. now being 24, i am like nahhh i rather have cristina milian for example haha
same here bro im 24 too and had the biggest crush on this bish lol
Every time I hear this song, I click back to summer 2002 memories when visiting family in Alabama and thinking back to all the CD stores we hit up like F.Y.E., Circuit City and especially my favorite Sam Goody. I'll never forget they would play this religiously on one R&B radio station down there and they would always play "Happy" back-to-back with "Foolish" or a new "Hit of the Day" like Truth Hurts' "Addictive". What a time to be a kid during all this glorious music being put out. Wish I could go back 😢
I remember circuit city places though yep omg such lovely memories
2024....MY ALL TIME FAVORITE ASHANTI SONG....EVER!!LOVE THE VIBE. 🔥🔥🦋💛🌟👍🙏😎
Is it possible to die from nostalgia
.
SUPERCRASH Luckily NO. 😄
yes.
I just did but was resurrected by this song along the way
Yes i am about to
She is so pretty. I always thought she was pretty. And an amazing singer with a beautiful voice and great style.
Great video! Great concept, especially having the party with the kids at the ending part. It’s just a heartwarming video!
Im so Proud to have Ashanti 👑❤Represent my Hometown Glen Cove NY!Shes still relevant to this day!🙌
Everything about this song is so dope. From production to her flow to the hook is the definition of dopeness.
That's because the beat is sampled from an old song, almost note for note. But you are dang right about that singing flow being on point.
Yeah this track is one of those moments in time that you knew this was a perfect record and the artist was perfect. Song doesnt have one flaw imo. And for some reason even ja talking at the beginning setting up the moment is amazing too cause it was at a time when he or she couldnt miss. Beautiful record.
@@mtdubdachamp6917 Amen Bro. Damn I wanna go Bacc😢
Ahhh summertime in the early 2000's those were the days. Back in my old neighborhood in the all the kids would be out playing and everyone's parents knew each other, the neighborhood was safe , the older kids looked out for the younger kids. I remember playing outside until it got dark and going inside and stuffing my face until i passed out and waking up and doing it all over again. Man being a kid was fun lol
So in love with it ❤. R&B 2000s sound like paradise tho 💎
This track makes me happy and nostalgic😢😂🎉❤
Back when being a fully clothed woman was attractive..
This reminds me of the good days
Reminds me of going to the skatepark with my mates on a summer's evening. Great times, life was so simple 😊
I remember this first coming out when I was in elementary. She felt like a breath of fresh air. Super pretty, can dress, not too over the top plus she has side burns like me. I def felt represented
Beautiful video the children enjoying 🔥💯❤️
I will say this about murda Inc...they had those summer jams from 2000-2002..
Exactly! 🌻
50 WHY YOU DO MURDA INC LIKE THAT
Olivia ain't shit, we took 2000-2002 for granted big time
Steven Scummy 1998 to 2004 yea we took for granted i feel u
Yo Momma Cookin
True, but even till 2005, lets not forget Ashanti and Lloyd were charting very well and Ja had some hits too. After 2006, not sure where they went
That overlapping lyrics is DOPE AF!! Nobody writes a song like ASHANTI the woman literally has her own style.
I'm 47 yrs old and still listening to this song, it still hits straight to the heart still finding the one who can vibe with me and give me the kind of love I deserve, The Old kinda Love..
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 one thing I loved about ashanti is that she knows how to dress lol that's just us Libra Women 😘♎️🧡🔥🌹
