Let’s face it. This will forever be a classic. If not for just the ever present underground consensus but for all who know GREAT HipHop when they hear it. ✊🏿🖤✌🏿
It wasn't that innocent you just have a short memory. You talking like it was the 1970s. We have social media and rap was declining. Not fully but it started to go down.
2000-2004 were my high school years and 2002 was the funnest. This song was one of many that was the soundtrack to my life those years. It’s unfortunate that this video only came on Rap City.
i felt this on a spiritual level 😌 2002 I was in 7th grade, 2002 hands down funnest years of my life until 2003-2004, 8th grade was even more LIT & FUN AF! the fun just amplified. I somehow always sat next to The funniest kids EVER! Id go to classes i hated in a good mood just because I knew they'd be there so i kno ima laugh my ass off all day Lol. This song, This group brings back amazing, hilarious memories. I'd do anything to go back to middle school for 1min....good times
..." I know true love is hard to find Just let it find you for real If you found love to keep it real Keep love from being tainted, being tainted And you'll be alright...."
this cut was a banger and great depiction of the music business and life in general,this cut still goes hard,slum village came with a strong message joint
When I Was Young In My Teenage Years I Never Understood This Song, But Now Since I'm On A Higher Vibration....This Song Is One Of The Realest Ever And It's Still Relevant Till This Day....No Doubt About It!!!!
I didn’t understand it so much, that after a while I thought I might of made the song up 😭😭. I finally heard it on the radio the other day and got happy because I thought about this song all the time but never knew what they was saying.
I had just started middle school when this song came out 01/02, jams like these made the tough days at school not so tough at all, music will forever give me life, early ass 2000s, I wanna go back to this era listening to slum village, flowetry, field mob, jazze phae, nappy roots, the clipse, Sean Paul, etc just everybody from that time. I miss it soooo much, oh AND we ain't have social media yet, we could work with aim just fine lol❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥💗💓💕💞💖❤️🔥
Phenomenal phenomenal AUDIOl beauty of this song.And the versus On my macintosh amplifier with my Kclips speakers.god bless good to hear from you guys again! GOD BLESS AND GODSPEED!
fuck man i never did find out the names of the models is this dope video. The models are fire, jeez. I don't a single name to look up. I recognized one of em, but she's the last one i'm looking for. The one with the tie around her neck, the one ILLA J was talking to, and the light skinned asian, are the ones I'm curious about. Dope track from a dope group. RIP DILLA DAWG AND BAATIN.

It's crazy how the early 2000's gives me an old school nostalgic feel now. The early 2000s were underrated.
Fr tho
You ain’t lying.
Agreed!The BEST music ever came out in the early 2000s💯💯💯
I agree everyone talk about the mid 90s but not enough seem to remember how dope early 2000’s was.
Yup. I'm feeling old af and sometimes I wanna kill myself bc life is so hard but music saves me 🥲
Neo Soul was such a fuckin beautiful era. I’ll never get tired of listening to this genre.
Bro soul??😳😳😳
This hip hop bruh cut the sub genre ish out. Hip hop is one BIG bag of styles.
Dwele is no soul

That wasn't a slap, more like a one-shot molly-whop.
2023 now
Old tunes can’t be denied. Timeless!
Let’s face it. This will forever be a classic. If not for just the ever present underground consensus but for all who know GREAT HipHop when they hear it. ✊🏿🖤✌🏿
reminds me of the old 106 & park and rap city days
Jerome yeah huh! :)
Jerome I was thinking the same thing
Right bro? Feel sad for the new generation 😕
And Rap City!!
These were the days🎯🎯🎯
13 years later and this track is still the reason why all the new school artists will forever struggle to match-up to SV. This is ART! RIP Dilla!
Im at 18 yrs still going
Facts!
Still Dope in 2022. 1 J Dilla
NO DOUBT!!!!!!!!!!!!
RiP DILLA
ONLY DETROIT COULD'VE NOT ONLY DROPPED A CLASSIC, BUT THOSE WHO ARE FROM HERE CAN REALLY APPRECIATE THIS SONG
Long way from Louie Ray n Icewearvizzo
Detroit has dropped many classic. I’m a native New Yorker, love to Detroit.
This was the track that introduced me to Dwele. The rest was history...
Same!!!
Kanye West introduced me to Dwele. I went back and listened to all his shii. He criminally slept on.😴🤦🏾♂️
2:11 Man I miss this era of music. Still rockin my song. RIP Dilla. Baatin
Dang..... Rest peacefully Batim... We miss you! Stellar song will never be forgotten
DWELE MADE THIS GREAT JAM EVEN GREATER 👍😍❣️
This song makes me miss BETs 106 & park. The early to mid 2000s were so innocent, no smart phones and social media. Good times!
It wasn't that innocent you just have a short memory. You talking like it was the 1970s. We have social media and rap was declining. Not fully but it started to go down.
RIP Baatin
Still hits in 2023🔥🔥🔥
Still hittin in 24
Takes me back to 8th grade, talking to my crush on the house phone, while blasting this lol..... 00's til I die.🔥🎶🎶
This is better than most of the music played on the radio nowadays.
When MTV, VH1Soul and BET played music videos. Dedicated to the 90’s and early 2000’s before this reality show craze. Congrats gents on this classic.
I remember the day Free and AJ played this video 2x back to back! The audience went crazy for it!!!
