OMG I miss the 90s..and I was born in 89 lol. The 90s were the best decade, weren't they? In so many countries, it seems. I remember the sense of hope and optimism in music art movies...Also, she was such a beauty, and wow being so business savvy at 21...awesome.
Many people tend to feel that their first two decades were the best ... it's a certain nostalgia one has as they get older ... you call it the good old days . The older you get the more you will find yourself looking back on the good old days .
Funny the white girl asking why the young black girl is trying to create generational wealth for her family. Dana understood how important her success was for her family.
Yeah that interviewer couldn't seem to grasp the concept of a business as an investment ... at least she came across that way . How could you go wrong with a video store back then when everybody was renting videos ... and it's not as as problematic as the food industry can sometimes be .
I also think I might remember that chick from MTV and she looks like she is China Kantner... and her two parents were actually very famous rock stars from the band The Jefferson Airplane . So if that is her she grew up fairly privileged in the San Francisco area . Pretty sure that's her at one point she had short hair like that .
I remembered when she lived there, she use to go to Pathmark late at night in her green tracker, plus she use to play basketball underneath the turnpike. D-Nice use to come to the Crab house all the time, very shy cool dude at that time. 90's was the best time growing up in JC.
facts, pathmark was always the late night go to spot after leaving TJ's party spot on communipaw. Especially for us who lived in Lafayette Projects. I also remember when we used to give d-nice a pass on Jackson ave on the hill before they named it martin luther king blvd, on the strength of Heather B. It messed with my braincells when she started rapping because anybody who knows her knows she was a quiet girl in the hood.
@K Deloris How bout you and me we're in this together Let's pray for a miracle to go back in good times!!!! By the way were you a 90s kid or teenager???
@@leahmilton I'll bet you the answer is yes ... it seems the older people get the more they tend to be nostalgic of the times they were growing up unless they came from a really horrible existence .
I don't like that interviewer. Seemed like she was in such disbelief that a black woman is owning property and stores and making bank. She was asking questions like she was in doubt and encouraging Queen Latifah to say how hard it is. She wasn't even excited to interview the Queen. Just so bland and monotone the whole time.
Yeah but weird that the interviewer acted like she didn't grasp the concept of owning a business as an investment ... I don't know but that's how she came across .
Shoutout to La, this bought back hella memories. I remember when she snatched up that video store. I remember when dixon mills was a abandoned pencil factory before they turned it into condos. My brother had one of them condos in her building. We crossed paths a few times. Once in east orange at my boy house where she kept her ladies first vw jetta while she would be on tour. I was shocked when she was nothing like that afrocentric character, those that know, know. A success story that was in the making.
I knew Queen Latifah was born in Newark but had no idea she used to live in Jersey City too. This is crazy being that I've been a JC resident for over 20 years now. Seeing a bit of the Dixon Mills apartments is wild to me. Also, it's nice to see someone being eloquent and soft spoken but having some swagger at the same time all at the tender age of 21.
man im from here and never knew about no damn video store..i live on the hill so go downtown was rare..now lakim shabazz..apache rip...and chill rob..we saw all the time
It’s seems like Newark got all the hip hop shine in NJ save for Poor Righteous comin out of Trenton and Naughty by Nature from East Orange. Double X Posse was from JC I think tho.
That is very cool. Didn't know she lived in Dixon Mills. When I moved to JC in 2004, the spot that was her video store was a pretty decent liquor store.
I love all dogs go to heaven but it's a tragic that the father of the little girl who voiced penny took his own daughter's life the music and the movie was dedicated to that little girl Judith Eva barsi R.I.P💞
Who say you cant go home!!!dont go home when you die.lol go home more often, dont let nowbody tell you home is garbage, every place have bad and good places, go home or go home to visit.either way, who say you cant go home
lol shhhhhhhhh, we know she wasnt born n bred a chilltown warrior. I remember when Treach tried to claim it too, till he got checked on it on jackson, then chilltown in his raps turned to Naw I was saying...... illtown. He later began reppin east orange where he was actually from.
@@TheManFromJerz201 bruh my comment started with Shhhhhh because I was responding to "glyndanelson3772" comment when he said the vid was all lies. Which was the same as me saying let her live, shhhhhh

She’s a natural beauty
You are as well
Always been❤

I was born in 88. Yes, the 90's was the best decade of all time.

I miss the 90s and I was born In 91 😂😂
The Queen hasn't changed a bit! I will always love this genuine and beautiful woman.
I loved her then and I love her now !
Queen Latifah, MTV, and video rental stores is peak 90s for me. Lol.

An American Tail ! She’s such an inspiration. All love all the way from Jersey City ❤️. She’s so inspiring .

I was thinking the same thing
That's Tabitha Sorenson who interviewed 2 pac And Mariah and others but she always seemed cringy and mean when she did Interviews
@@DeniseLopez-gt9wg Yes she is terrible.
Happy Birthday Dana Owens/Queen Latifah you mean the world to me!!
And she looks the EXACT same so crazy
Beautiful to see her 30 years ago.
Queen Latifah is beautiful 😍 I love the throwback 90s videos.
wow, this was interview was real down to earth. This was before she was real famous, and a house hold name. What a nugget this was!!
Yeah but weird that the interviewer acted like she didn't grasp the concept of owning a business as an investment ... I don't know but that's how she came across .
That’s jersey all day!!
3 years before I was born there. About 7 before she came to my home in JC to record with my father. Lots of respect for Queen Latifah.
Really? What she recorded with your father?
Wow! So cool! I was born in 95 so I have mad nostalgia for the 90s
I love Queen L. (her Ziggy Marley shirt too)🙂
This is memories all day. I lived around the corner. It was a big deal that Queen La lived around the way.
did you get movies from that Video store?
@ I ain’t have no damn money I was a broke teenager! Lmao
@@ladimu1 did you ever meet her?
I loved her, I love her and my Love for her voice & persona is unlimited ! Fantastic music backgrounded there!

How has she not changed a bit? 😭💘
I love you Queen Latifah

When she acts in certain movies they tell her to lower her voice and to sound less ghetto
WOW. That's My Hood

(Seeing Stuff Like This😃
Makes Me Feel Appreciative
4 Being A Jersey Native)
The Queen, I love me some Queen Latifa! I used to always eat at this Spanish restaurant the food was amazing. I wish they were still open.
Jersey city,NJ FOREVER
Whatever became of that video store what is it now?

VHS Cassettes are so 90s and early 2000s🙂
Love her
I remember seeing this
Queen.
Love this
I remember when she use to come to the court to ball , by ferris high under the turn pike .
Damn these are the times I miss so much. Just the simple times…
that barcode was high speed back then lol
The interviewer asked some of the dumbest questions?
Right I thought I was the only one who felt that... she was actin like she can't have a business
I was so over her. Another of those white interviewers were like that back then
❤❤❤❤
That is very cool. Didn't know she lived in Dixon Mills. When I moved to JC in 2004, the spot that was her video store was a pretty decent liquor store.
Haha yea been to that liquor store. Nice Asians owned
I love all dogs go to heaven but it's a tragic that the father of the little girl who voiced penny took his own daughter's life the music and the movie was dedicated to that little girl Judith Eva barsi R.I.P💞
I was born in jersey city I don't blame for buying a house there I miss my home town
Who say you cant go home!!!dont go home when you die.lol go home more often, dont let nowbody tell you home is garbage, every place have bad and good places, go home or go home to visit.either way, who say you cant go home
What operates in that former video store now?
This white lady is flirting with Queen Latifah 😂
loxymandles She definitely wanted some U-N-I-T-Y with the Queen. 😁😁😁
@@nr30199 😂😂😂😂😂😂... Dude 🤣
omg that's exactly what I was thinking 🤣
😂😂
"this white lady". That's fucking Tabitha Soren one of the first MTV Vjs.
This video is so dated 😂and I never realized how young and successful Queen Latifah was. She started early.
2 years before I was born 10 years before 9/11😲
4:18 Ground Zero
Jc all the way
MTF King Latifah
Lies 2000000. Stop with the lies dam
