@@mdot100 really? That's what you call being loyal ,when you are not jordan, be pippen..not a flunky..never just playing his position...He could of turn Dehaven....
Imperial Line don’t be mad at me this is what I heard all throughout New York! Just stating the facts, Memphis didn’t have no real hot career, he never went multi-platinum, hell no!
The Roc, (Jay Z) got all the top female (black) athletes during this time, in the video YAAAAS :-) Hov ALWAYS got Respect in the industry, even back then YAAAAS :-)
@Cedrick Carson but Kanye's sampling made those records global hits. Even though I love Swizz, the Neptunes and especially Timbaland (my favorite producer) all of their songs were only big in the hip hop world. Timberland and Pharrell didn't cross over to the mainstream world until they started working with Justin Timberlake.
Jay Z put the battery in Bleek's back...whenever they were on a track...Bleek would beast out starting with "It's Alright"...that instrumental was bangin!
Shout to all those who remember the days when it was normal for an artist to spent 1 Million Dollars on a video and selling 100,000 first week was seen as a failure on a major label 98-2004 (RIP)
Exactly, now videos cost as much as it cost to buy an iPhone because you can just shoot a video off that and post it to the internet. Also, no more first week sales, now it's all about how many streams you get. So whack, I miss being in line at the record store to buy whoever's new album.
This is classic not because of the quality of the song (sure it's an average "party-rap" song) but because at the time the ROC was running the game and they were having real fun with what they did so that connected to the fans (and they had Serena in the video lol)! Nowadays most rappers are fake, everything is calculated, even friendships/partnerships...
It was like this then, you have to think about it that it wasn't no social media back then. The only reason most of them rappers are fake now is because of social media that it has exposed everything, and everything was on a more hush hush level back then
This is still a hot song, I miss the early 00s. Miss the old BET days when they played videos most of the day. I miss how creative music videos was and when celebrities made appearances in music videos and supported each other.
Great observation. Then there was a lot of girls dancing. But with a sort of loosely woven narrative with all kinds of surreal imagery. Now it's just girls dancing. Which, I guess, is fine, too.
This Song Was New To Me Since 9/11/22 I First heard It Jay Z Is A Good Singer Too Him and Memphis Bleek Did A Very Good Job on this Awesome Cool Song Love the Cool Sound Of this Song IT Sounds so cool to make this Song Cool and likable and good to dance and get into I Love It!!! Yeah!!! Keep Hitting It with this Song yeah!!! 😆😊🙂👍🎵🎶🎶
+K-757 Makes you wonder what's in store 15-20 years from now. I don't think we'll ever see rap/hip-hop at the level it was in the 90s - early 2000s again. It was def great growing up in that time frame and along to this music, especially during the college years. But on the flip-side, that was our music. The stuff that's out now, it's this generation's music. In 20 years, they'll think the new stuff is garbage and that their music was the best. It's a cycle, but I def agree, I think the music today can't compare to what it was back then.
+Gnik4144 the kids of this generation still have the benifits of coming on here n searching for the era that made rap what it is today n truly lucky to be able to come on n search NWA n find the music that changed the face of the rap game n brought about the era of gangsta rap
+Bryan Dilworth just a shame the rappers now a days suck shit n shouldn't have deals they need to go back to there roots n rediscover the era that changed the face of the rap game just think what it might be like now without NWA we would still have people wearing parachute pants n dancing like hammer or vanilla ice, only rapper these days worth giving credit to is Eminem n he's doing a better job at a black man's music then they are proof some white boys are blacker then the blacks lol
Bleek and beans were the first two I saw with the big roc chains , dame had a small one at this time n hov had the small rocawear piece…. Yiu can tell the roc always had fun shooting theirs videos
Hot track for sure, Gets the blood pumpin' hard, no doubt. And damn, Serena, straight fire in this video. Beautiful, gorgeous, and the best to ever play tennis. Great post!
Memphis bleek was a dope rapper 🔥🔥🔥
Is so underrated he the kurupt of roc a fella lol
Memphis Bleek is so underrated. Shout out to Lisa Leslie, Teresa Weatherspoon, Serena Williams making cameos
Never again will I help people
I will never forget this video.
The Good old days when the Roc was on fire!!!
That Fuckin Beat is Banging, That video right!! I still love this shit!!
back when the roc was untouchable
perris yup !!!!

This beat is so sick
Legendary
Facts. I lose mu mind in the club when this ish bump..
The Roc, (Jay Z) got all the top female (black) athletes during this time, in the video YAAAAS :-) Hov ALWAYS got Respect in the industry, even back then YAAAAS :-)
I wish someone would bring this type of sound back..up beat and fun you can dance to
Talk to Jay z
Its gone. SAD.
This era was the start of the ending of sampled hiphop. Swizz, Timbo, Neptunes gave birth to a new Sonics in HIPHOP/ RAP.

Sampling never stop, just how they were used changed!

Who remembers the WNBA was hard as hell back in the early 2000s.
Memphis Bleek was always one of my favorite top 10 rappers I root for the under dogg
Shout to all those who remember the days when it was normal for an artist to spent 1 Million Dollars on a video and selling 100,000 first week was seen as a failure on a major label 98-2004 (RIP)
Yes indeed, nowadays I could have filmed most of these music videos they just look like they were filmed in a dark room.
When selling records meant something.
Yhey was getting finesse by videographers back then
LONG LIVE HIP Hop! Hip hop forever.

This is a 106 and park staple , feel like I'm back in high school already !!!
Man I miss these good times
And even if they don't make drops that kind, I tear the roof off like I'm Busta Rhymes - Memph Bleek is.
The good days of roc-a-fella i still have this Cd in my Collection Memphis Bleek The Understanding 2000

Joey27YT then Beyoncé put her in her video years later lol

One of my favorite tracks to work out to! This shit keeps me charged!
Hov really got Serena Williams to be in his homeboy's video. The ROC was something else, man.
mikeford Illuminati makes things happen.
Hell yea
And Lisa Leslie
Damn. How you know Memph ain't get Serena in the video himself?
Lex Luger Serena had already won her first grand slam title by the time this dropped lol. She definitely was the shit when this dropped
Man Bleek should’ve been the heir to the throne
His work ethic was not the best back then...even he admitted that!
Man do I miss those days we had a lot of fun back then
Vinny Ricks sure did. It's all gone now. R.I.P. HIP HOP. 😢😢😢
This is still a hot song, I miss the early 00s. Miss the old BET days when they played videos most of the day. I miss how creative music videos was and when celebrities made appearances in music videos and supported each other.
Bleek vs Juelz brought me back here... It's the 💎..
Good memories.... teenage years was lit 🔥 for me. Roc
I was just barely in my 20's when this song came out. Great memories back then
God yeah! This still goes hard 22 years later. This my s**t son!!!!
Back in high school you spend it watching hip hop videos on the weekends...👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽🔥🔥🔥💯💯
The beat alone is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯
🔥🔥 this stayed blasting on the road trip to Texas. 1999/2000 miss those days.
Dude said on drink champs he hated this beat lol shit is dope af
Heard this in radio a couple days and forgot how much this is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Still classic
I am dead now
A young Megan Good and a young Serena Williams and the when the Roc was poppin
He came to my high school bronx, NYC truman high school when I was in the 10th grade!!! He rapped for 2 minutes and told us to stay in school
Why he didn’t come to Columbus 😢
This song is a straight classic !!! I need not say more about it. Amazing song
Women empowerment from the Roc la familia ... I'm here 2020
Serena !!
Shawndell

Nba Street mixed With NFL Street dis shit hot... By the #ROC
This is 2000/01 and its now 2019 and Serena just played in the Wimbledon finals
BTW some of these early 2000s videos were surreal/ironic in a real entertaining way... Nowadays they're kinda all the same, less fun
Great observation. Then there was a lot of girls dancing. But with a sort of loosely woven narrative with all kinds of surreal imagery. Now it's just girls dancing. Which, I guess, is fine, too.
True!
Joey27YT yeah the best music videos are made in the early 2000s
They really were
Prashant Barua

"It's a secret society all we ask is trust" Jay been deceiving for a minute.

+NellyBelle Exactly. the Roc fam was the bomb. just like the Murder Inc. fam too. Jay and Ja were in the primes.
NellyBelle this was when roc was beginning to shine
Naw I say around 2004 is when the roc started titling. This is more of their come up year of anything.

+Robert A shut ur right my guy... But I'm working on some of that old school flavor now.. It's bout to go down
It makes me happy I lived through a great era of music. I feel bad for the kids of this generation
