I'm on a bus right now heading to my aunt's funeral in North Carolina, as a kid every summer she gave me so much happiness , I remember listening to the radio and she busted spinning my shirt like a helicopter to this song , this song will forever replay that memory Peace to everybody out there and May God bless you and your family
Petey Pablo went so hard! Man i miss this era of Hip Hop so much. Listen to the lyrics. Not selfish and stupid. Hes celebrating his hometown and talking about what everyone went through to be here.
IM FROM NC... AND I WHEN I TELL YOUUUUU THIS SHIT HAD THE PARTIES GOING CRAZY BACK IN THE EARLY 2000s .... EVERYBODY IN THE CLUB OR PARTY SWINGING THEY SHIRTS AROUND 🙌🏾🙌🏾🤣🤟🏾🤣🤣
Ya if ur talking about the democratic national convention I'm so glad the Democratic party did so much for North Carolina...and is doing so much going into the winter for all the people suffering from the hurricane.
Not true at all. There is an insane amount of good, passionate music of late. Turn off the top 40 fm station, do some searching, and it's easily found.
If you are from and/or have lived in NC for a long time, it becomes a primal instinct to just go fucking ape-shit when this gets played. The energy is ten-fold.
Stay in the north. THERE ARE WAY TOO MANY PEOPLE MOVING TO NORTH CAROLINA WHO ARE FROM THE NORTH. NOBODY IN THE SOUTH LIKES NORTHERNERS THEY ALL NEED TO STAY IN THE NORTH
When I look around today, you don't see this kind of pride anymore. Brings tears to my eyes to see the love shown in this song and video for a whole state. Not many today know what it means to raise up and understand "us, us, us". #unity
Facts it’s gone ..dats how I be when I look at juvenile old videos his videos captured the soul an face expressions on the people …mfs just making music today with no soul in it pointing guns n jewelry an bbl models ..these videos related to the people
I'm from sf bay area but I got family in fayetville ive been there in the summer one year. I'll never forget that heat. Always got love for N.C. shout out
I just saw Petey Pablo perform at a concert tonight in Raleigh. It was awesome to be able to experience this song live, as someone that always heard and loved it when it first came out years ago. Never thought that would happen. I'm already from NC, but I think I'm certified now. 😆
I was on active duty and deployed when this dropped. Anyone from North or South Carolina kept this on repeat in the gym along with Lil Jon and the Eastside Boyz. What a time to be alive.....lol
I was in Chad with a boyfriend who worked with the Department of State and whenever we went to the bar the Marines had they were always playing this and Lil Jon. So fun♥️
This that good music that even if you're not from North Carolina still have you singing along making you feel like you from there and live there your whole life!
Everytime I drive through North Carolina on my way to Florida each winter this song plays in my head. I can imagine living there. Song would be playing in my head for 20 years now.
Honestly, this what put North Carolina rappers on the map because nobody didn't know about North Carolina until he came out with this song. I'm a NC boy for life repping Winston-Salem all day and when this song came out everybody thought they were from North Carolina
Petey man look here kin folk , I know we didn't know each other at Polk ,, I got there about 2 ,3 weeks before u went Dropped that Raise up man on WEST YARD THEY PLAYED THAT Joint 3 times ,,, hole yard had helicopters out ...

True story: One time, when I was in high school (2001-2005) Petey just happened to be at a local, family-owned snow-cone stand that was in close proximity to my school right after school let out for the day. He was so cool with all of the teenagers (about twenty of them) that wanted his signature and he's really humble. I wasn't there, but it was a big deal the next day at school!

I'm not really a hip hop fan, also I don't even live in America, I'm from Australia. In 2003, my best friend who's heavily into hip hop played me the Diary Of A Sinner First Entry album and this song stood out for me after I heard it a few times and I quickly grew to really like this song a great deal, I heard the album more times in 2004 and started to really like it. Last night my mother was talking about a plane trip she went on from Washington to North Carolina once when she was visiting the USA, immediately the chorus to this song started going around in my head like crazy. I love this song.
***** I've not had any real experiences with African American people to speak of, but I don't agree with your comment. There are good and bad people in every walk of life, in every country, in every race and of every faith and religion, so making a blanket statement like that isn't really fair.
If you love this song, I guarantee there's a great amount of hip-hop that you would dig! This type of rap is pretty dated, but it's fun to look back at. A lot old school you would dig, and even new stuff
@@theothesirany time you hear that intro to a song you know it's going to be a hit record the same way with Biggie Smalls "to all the ladies in the place with style and grace" or "it was all a dream I used to read word up magazines"
As much as we argue over music, we realize that taste is subjective, and we can all live with the understanding that we all enjoy different artists. However, taste is different than music itself. In taste, there is no right or wrong because it's about what you enjoy, and no one can change that. But at the same time, people are entitled to their opinion.
Been on a huge old school music binge on youtube lately...depressed there is barely and good music these days. So many great songs from this era and before...
+KANE HELLZ And in 2001 we were doing the same thing. The cream always rises to the top over time. A survivorship bias type of thing -- there was a lot of bad music back in 2001 and 1994 too, we've just forgotten about it.
Fa real...I turn 30 next month. I miss the old days. Spring break at South Padre Island with snoop dogg and girls gone wild. The good old days when bitches would take their tops off for beads and a shirt...now you’ll get your ass sued and thrown in jail. Fuck the metoo movement.
Being from FL born and raised I heard this song back in fourth grade and swore up and down I was from NC because of this song you couldn’t tell me otherwise

If you love this song, I guarantee there's a great amount of hip-hop that you would dig! This type of rap is pretty dated, but it's fun to look back at. A lot old school you would dig, and even new stuff
All of us was from North Carolina when this song came out. bahaha 😂
I am from Rob. Co... came here on the vibe from the riots going on right now in Charlotte
every. sinlge. one of us.
Anybody here from the DNC.. man i missed how electric this song was when it dropped .. From NYC REPPING NC LOL
Present from the DNC! Lol
Dude right before the roll called us I was saying they have to run this one
Trump train cause kamala been ran through
Yep
Love this song. No music comes close to this era
Had a goldfish names Pablo, he was semi-dead so we we flushed him down the water closet and he kept on swimming like finding Nemo! ;)
Crazy how your memory can just instantly remember songs…. That flow into the first verse is legendary and you can’t forget it once you heat it
All you gotta hear is "Who am I???"
True 🐬
In this my friend is why musicians rest with the Gods
@@theothesirFACTS
@@theothesirany time you hear that intro to a song you know it's going to be a hit record the same way with Biggie Smalls "to all the ladies in the place with style and grace" or "it was all a dream I used to read word up magazines"
I’m surprised Baby and JCole didn’t make anything with this beat
Pablo was a legend, surprised this song isn't referenced more within NC hip hop culture
Cole would kill this beat
@spudsMcNz Am I wrong tho? Cole undeniably is this generation's NC rapper, dude has talent
Na people can’t do a beat that already a hit sorry look at sweetie tried remake freak a leak terrible leave a classic alone
As much as we argue over music, we realize that taste is subjective, and we can all live with the understanding that we all enjoy different artists. However, taste is different than music itself. In taste, there is no right or wrong because it's about what you enjoy, and no one can change that. But at the same time, people are entitled to their opinion.
Wish you could have performed at the DNC.
this when everybody in each state was from north Carolina 😂😂😂
ikr 😂
Here from Lumberton Rob. Co... came through because of the riots in Charlotte right now...
I'm from SC so I would always replace North with South!! 😂😂😂

+ Donnie Kane
Atlanta baby... check out my videos and see those playlists. Lumberton NC
Been on a huge old school music binge on youtube lately...depressed there is barely and good music these days. So many great songs from this era and before...
KANE HELLZ Its nostalgia. Its a real bitch.
+KANE HELLZ And in 2001 we were doing the same thing. The cream always rises to the top over time. A survivorship bias type of thing -- there was a lot of bad music back in 2001 and 1994 too, we've just forgotten about it.
there is good music you just have to find it
+KANE HELLZ agreed Use to binge listen to my Petey Pablo Album...Love it.
KANE HELLZ it's good music in every era. Funny thing is that this was once considered garbage hip hop.
Man I was in like 4th grade...probably 8 years old when this came out. I'm pushing 31 now and still love it
You and me both homie! Used to watch this video on MTV in the morning before school
When people think NC doesn't have a song... oh honey we do though!
Absolute BANGER of a track, I can’t think of North Carolina without hearing this…
Every time I drive through North Carolina I think of this song!
Turnt up before turnt up was a thing....
North Carolinaaaa!!
This song wuz a monster when it came out & it's still a banger.. DC went krazy cuz errybody up here got folks in NC
Yep, this was a hell of a introduction for Petey Pablo
Time when hard core Rappers had clean cut videos that had meaning but the joint was still hard...And gritty
Iiiiiii don't know about clean cut. Whole lot bombs dropping. I guess the video was clean until that one broad took her shirt off.
When Petey hit the "who am iiiiiii..." part and he fell back and his boys caught him and pushed him back up, you knew it was on, lol!
Play this at ANY party in NC. You wont be sorry.
LEROY we play this in Cali and it be Lit Lol
LEROY North Carolina
As a resident of Fayetteville, I can concur lmao
poop spear i know i'm late but hell yeah that party would be lit! Lol

Oct 2024. Needed it for these trying times. Raise Up NC.
Yes.. graduated in 99 and my family has been in central NC for 300 years. If you lived through this time, you realize how epic this song was
Wtf i‘m old i here this stuff when i was 13😊now i‘m 31 😱
Shoot I’m 30 and this brings back memories.
I'm there with ya. I'm 30
We got the good music growing up
Fa real...I turn 30 next month. I miss the old days. Spring break at South Padre Island with snoop dogg and girls gone wild. The good old days when bitches would take their tops off for beads and a shirt...now you’ll get your ass sued and thrown in jail. Fuck the metoo movement.
AnnY Ann yes they played this at our middle school dance lol
Being from FL born and raised I heard this song back in fourth grade and swore up and down I was from NC because of this song you couldn’t tell me otherwise
I'm going to North Carolina tomorrow I'm bumping this at the airport
