Ruff Ryders had the hardest artists at the time but Swizz Beats sounded like comin’ from a Fisher-price toykeyboard what worked for some clubsongs but it lacks quality to stand the test of time
Russell Adams he's a funny guy in person as well. My crew produced all of the demo tracks that was used to shop them. they all have a funny sense of humor to a certain degree but yes he is the funniest of all 3.
LOL! I was 20 as well in 2000. The music from the 90s past 2000 was ridiculous! There were so many genres, SO many artists in every genre. I had that massive huge CD booklet and needed another one after burning CDs came out LOL! Not gonna lie though...we did not realize how great things were!!! 😬
@@Pluty80 Lol thanks man. I grew up in Boston and mannnnnn I remember having like three radio stations for just hip hop, one for gangster rap, one for alternative, rock, heavy metal...the list went on and on. I feel like all music is the same thing now. 🙄
I was 11 yrs old when this dropped, such a great era to grow up to the music back then, & i literally remember everything, Ruff Ryders Eve DMX Xzibit Snoop Eminem Dr Dre etc were killing it back then. Then the early 2000 came with a bang too with Ja rule dam list goes on, Some hits just wont die ever never. Salut.
it's because of trends and mainstream attention. i remember when soulja boy popped up with that annoying dance and music style of his and for some reason people really liked him and then suddenly i noticed every new artist started doing the same stuff (my opinion and i could be wrong so dont attack me). and even guys like 50 cent, r kelly, snoop and the rest of the guys and girls from 1998-2005 had to completely change their styles in order to remain relevant. nowadays is more about the HD videos and hot girls (i am not complaining about that bit but its the truth) and some catchy phrases or words (no flex zone or "a week ago") instead of the quality or purpose of the song :/
I'll never forget being 11 yrs old listening to this, the memories i had being Southern California raised in Glendale, 99' 00'was the best years to me. 88' baby whooop!
No the hell it wasn't. That shit was super wack by the 2000s but lame New York couldn't let it go. If Timbs are hot now it's only because they retro since 1995 was 20 years ago.
Kevin Hsu I have love for all Hip Hop but I also have a lot of hate for the lazy crap that NY was putting out around 2000. It got shoved down our throats at the time. I never understood why until I watched the PBS Frontline "Merchants of Cool" and realized that the video channel tastemakers never left New Jersey.
Timbo is the man, he always does something through his personality in the vids he's in to make you love his beats even more. Like in this one, whistling with his beat in the beginning. In the Petey Pablo vid, Raise Up, moving his eyes/looking around the room at the end of the vid with Petey Pablo etc etc
Do men really know what a real ride or die chick is not a rhyde or die chick. That chick that's down for whatever got your back loyal faithful. Loving you no matter what people say. That chick that's with you when you didn't have nothing. Stayed there through it all. The lies, the abuse, the cheating you name it ... now that's a ride or die. Yes now we realize we were so young and so dumb and it was grace and mercy that saved us.
