Steve Briggins no no I know, but I mean mainstream success. Sure he probably doesn't care because he's making money regardless if its in the public eye. But I really did like his music and artistry and he kinda fell from the scene of making his own music and not just song writing. After I saw the making of the song "Addiction" and how much musical genius the man had I was pretty excited to hear more from him, but he hasn't made music in a few years I believe
+Ty Douglas R Les created his own sound. I see a certain higher value in the music he creates. His music is true genius and aint that commercial crap, and that's why he didn't blow up. It's only intended for the real music listeners not the pop market.
I was just thinking about this song, hadn't heard it in years. Was Almost 100% positive that it was Cassie when I was hearing it in my head. Then, I went and checked this video and was like "that's her voice... but that ain't her". Confused the hell out of me. I would've been so mad if I was her.
I don't know about If she would have gotten bigger in this industry. But I know she would never got ran through it the way The way that she did she did if she would have stayed with Ryan. Or just never chose puffy at all.
@shawndon7374 I was about to say the same thing cause I was in middle school around that time and my friends and I had this on MySpace. That's how old this song is lol
@@renaissancemusicllc9804Cassie and Ryan were dating during this time. They signed to diddys label and Diddy basically stole Cassie from Ryan. He then dropped Ryan from the label soon after. It’s been said that he blackballed Ryan from the rest of industry ever since then. That’s pretty much it
I'm definitely feeling you on that comment.As a musician,the 90s rnb was so beautifully composed from the vocal arrangement with the rnb groups and music in general.This was cool,but you can't compare this to the 90s still.
Y'all don't know but this nigga has mad talent. Look it up. He plays instruments makes all his own beats writes all his own music has good education and he can sing and rap. And that's probably not all
@@woabeatz9717 Nah..Some models are just very thin no matter how much they eat. I remember I used to have a complex about how skinny I was and I used to eat everything. I didnt understand why I was so thin. I've gained weight since then but it came with age. So please don't say that, some of us are just naturally very thin and it's not always body dysmorphia.
Imagine if tik tok was released during his time he would have blown differently. However with his natural entrepernerial skills he had smashed the game but behind the scenes! Which for one makes me respect him and his achievement much more than some rappers etc
This sound will be missed, I was about 8 or 9, I'm glad to have grown up in this era, the mid-late 2000s were my early school years and an experimental edgy time. 🤙🏽
I am certainly sure someone was behind blocking this man to be superstar coz he was too good..... You could never find to this day a man that can sing in all levels produce mix and play multiple musical instruments....... Etc r Kelly and babyface
Ryan leslie should have been one of the biggest producers in the game. He plays every instrument, sings and do beats. Wtf !!! Only kanye can nearly do all that
@@shabazz360 Its the truth. He graduated from Harvard but because he didn't fit the mold of what "from struggle to riches" looks like they kept trying to block his moves. He is still one of the most talented producers of time in my opinion.
Eric Matterson Lol not everyone can be thick, fat or pleasingly plump...not offended bc everyone is untitled to an opinion but that what they look for in models for one and for two not everyone purges or starve themselves to be thin so ppl can't help it and it makes us( yes us bc I'm a twig too) feel some type of way than when we try to gain weight and so we are too big. ppl always have something to say no matter what especially about females guys dnt get body shamed as often as females. of I dnt care cool but if u do some ppl should watch what they say bc their is soooo much fat shaming and ppl protesting n against it and ppl forget that it's just as offensive to dog out skinny chicks lol we dnt all ask to be this way and we already all strive to have the "perfect" body. But she is really thin and think, the camera adds 10 pounds :/ not to say it like it's a bad thing but it is true.
This was probably the norm before. Now having more curves is more seen on tv. I think it depends of trend. Before thick ass and hips were not really a thing. But now with the women like kim k or minaj, it became more popular after 2010+.
First time hearing this song and it’s actually good! Such a shame more music of Cassie and other artists never got to be heard or came out because of Diddy or the industry getting them blackballed 🤦🏻♀️
Who is listening? 04 May 2024

Who else still bumpin to this masterpiece in 2024?
And I just remembered it so randomly like heyyyy what’s that song again? 😂😂😂
Cassie voice sounded so much better alongside Ryan’s productions. His tracks brought her smoothness to the forefront
I swear I only want a second album from her if it's just him & her... They were clearly in love.. ❤
Yes,absolutely
@@KeyWatsShe has a second album Rock A Bye Baby and it’s a classic no skips
@@ashantej7484 That was only a MIXTAPE.. 😆 🤣
If she'd stayed under his guidance, she'd be the star she wanted. But Diddy was just too huge to resist.
I'm actually pretty annoyed Ryan Leslie never blew up like he should have, he's really talented
He's a producer and song writer him , Neyo and Keri hilson been relevant way before they blew up with their own hit singles
Steve Briggins no no I know, but I mean mainstream success. Sure he probably doesn't care because he's making money regardless if its in the public eye. But I really did like his music and artistry and he kinda fell from the scene of making his own music and not just song writing. After I saw the making of the song "Addiction" and how much musical genius the man had I was pretty excited to hear more from him, but he hasn't made music in a few years I believe
Ikr. It really bothers me that he didn't blow up. He is so talented and i loved his music.
+Ty Douglas R Les created his own sound. I see a certain higher value in the music he creates. His music is true genius and aint that commercial crap, and that's why he didn't blow up. It's only intended for the real music listeners not the pop market.
I agree
Who's still bumping this in 2019? 🙋🏾♀️
2020 then
*2021*
*We made it, everyone!!* *Happy 2022*
*WELCOME 2023*
Mua
I 😜
😉
I am now! I clean on forgotten about this song and Ryan Leslie! 🙌
All day son!
He couldn’t even get Cassie for the vid. Sheesh diddy controlling af
I was just thinking about this song, hadn't heard it in years. Was Almost 100% positive that it was Cassie when I was hearing it in my head. Then, I went and checked this video and was like "that's her voice... but that ain't her". Confused the hell out of me. I would've been so mad if I was her.
Who’s banging this in 2020?
Still here 2020
All En Da Family: 7/4/20; I'm on this!! And...this is NOT the first time for this year that I'm jammin' 2 dis!!. . .8/21/21✔✔✔Still....A BANGER👏👏👏.
in 2020 yeah
Me
Right here 2020
Cassie should of never left Ryan Leslie. Their chemistry was perfect. Puff messed that up. She could of been so much bigger without Puff.
So true!!
Everything happens for a reason
PREACH!!!
Yes, She messed up😢
I don't know about If she would have gotten bigger in this industry. But I know she would never got ran through it the way The way that she did she did if she would have stayed with Ryan. Or just never chose puffy at all.
This song is almost 13 years old and still sounds brand new 🔥
Beat is ahead of its time
Real Talk 🔥🔥🔥🤞🏽
This song is from 07 so it's old enough to throw it's own sweet 16. Dang time really does fly.
Wonder why, probably something to do with mr combs! 🙄
@shawndon7374 I was about to say the same thing cause I was in middle school around that time and my friends and I had this on MySpace. That's how old this song is lol
I won’t lie. This was my ring tone on the blackberry.
Meee toooo.
Sameee
Tiny Desk brought me back 26/07/24 R-Les Nostalgia!
Diddy will pay for his crimes!! He’s the reason Ryan never blew up
I totally agree.
Couldnt agree more
For real? What's the scoop?🤔
He is good but not made for clubs. There, this is why he didn't blow up. Not some stupid conspiracy theory!
@@renaissancemusicllc9804Cassie and Ryan were dating during this time. They signed to diddys label and Diddy basically stole Cassie from Ryan. He then dropped Ryan from the label soon after. It’s been said that he blackballed Ryan from the rest of industry ever since then. That’s pretty much it
She's not even in the video...notice...that's control from the jump
Exactly!
Puffy was threatened and blackballed this man into obscurity but karma is making it right now. Ryan is an amazing composer.
So true
Very true. Also remember Ryan and Cassie were together before she left him for the “Bad Boy”!
@@SirCT oh shit i didnt know that
Probably
This song still bangs today. The production on this is crazy.
RYAN LESLIE CREATING THIS BEAT IS ONE OF THE GREATEST VIDEOS IVE EVER SEEN OF AN ARTIST.
Yesss! I've watched that video over and over... A genius at work 🙌🏾
Big facts
Ever point blank period
One of the few producers who could drop gems without sampling
Brandon Yes exceptional. This is real talent and the music industry usually smothers this kind of talent.
This sampled “can’t help it” by Michael Jackson lmao
Agreed!
@@lamaramy4477 : That song was written by the wondrous. . . . .Stevie Wonder.
@@cocoafemme47
Double irony ❤❤
Man I think this guy really loved Cassie...SMH
this guy is seriously underrated #dope
I know thats right
He's more of a ghost writer/ producer
He graduated from Harvard
Who here after the news of Cassie & Diddy?
He’s really the person Diddy wants to be & that’s it
I agree
back when blackberry phones was poppin lol
lol
damn!!!
Right 😂😭
Definitely had one!
Mally Umansky ok I had a bright red one and the cranberry red one
Drake before Drake lol
lool
lol
😂😂😂😂
Facts‼
Looool
It’s sad that Sean Combs destroyed his career because he was jealous ok his relationship with Cassie.
R Les is a beast! I agree with those that say he's underrated! He's an extremely gifted producer and musician!!!
One of the greatest.
Who’s Hear after the breakfast club interview?
👇🏼
Tow Life me 🤣
he's a genius
This man is top 5 most talented artist hip hop has ever had. His music is such a breathe of fresh air
Thats a fact but you know who had a hand in making sure he didn't get as big as he did?? Dirty Diddy
One of the best songs from the golden RnB years!
Marieta Dimitrova the Ryan Leslie is boss my favority songs
Marieta Dimitrova Gold? You must be drunk!
Golden? This wasn't made in the 90s lol
The 00's are the golden era for me personally
I'm definitely feeling you on that comment.As a musician,the 90s rnb was so beautifully composed from the vocal arrangement with the rnb groups and music in general.This was cool,but you can't compare this to the 90s still.
i wish cassie was in this video..
She would've been but she was...too .very young looking.....
It is Cassie you are too young to notice they were a cpl at the time
She’s right in ya face lol
Shawn Meade well I’m 29 n that is NOT Cassie in this video at all.
Diddy snatched her up from Ryan around this time that's prolly why she ain't in it
Ryan Leslie, Cassie and Fabolous ... 🎉 .. this is a masterpiece
fire music but they played him cuz he look like a incel 😱
Y'all don't know but this nigga has mad talent. Look it up. He plays instruments makes all his own beats writes all his own music has good education and he can sing and rap. And that's probably not all
DONT TELL ME HATING AS DIDDY DIDNT WANT CASSIE IN THIS MUSIC VIDEO, CUZ OF JEALOUSY
Correct and true
Puffy did you tell Cassie not to do the video wit Ryan
Probably 😏😤
this beat sick
June 2024 anyone?
Yup! Just watch his Forbes interview 😅
Yeeeeesssss🎉
July 2024
Diddy made sure to put a stop to his success. Did not allow Cassie to produce any records with him. SMH
That's skinny girl is jaslene from Americas next top model. I just noticed lol
I was wondering like she looks so familiar where did I seen her
Yeah her name is Jaslene
Some models are anorexic.....
@@woabeatz9717 Nah..Some models are just very thin no matter how much they eat. I remember I used to have a complex about how skinny I was and I used to eat everything. I didnt understand why I was so thin. I've gained weight since then but it came with age. So please don't say that, some of us are just naturally very thin and it's not always body dysmorphia.
What happened to this type of r&b? This was legit
Songs like this expose the industry. He was definitely blackballed and I lost respect for alot people over his situation😢
Diddy did it👁👁He was jealous of his talent and stole Cassie from him
Imagine if tik tok was released during his time he would have blown differently. However with his natural entrepernerial skills he had smashed the game but behind the scenes! Which for one makes me respect him and his achievement much more than some rappers etc
This song could still blow up on TiKToK low key. A lot of old songs do.
It only needs one person to make a video or dance to it and it's 💣 💥
if ppl used it like Kyla water, it would.
We need this music back ASAP. 2023. Today's r&b sucks
I haven't heard this in a while. I just heard this song on the radio it's definitely in my playlist now. Ryan is very talented.
Cassie should have stayed with Ryan
Going down the rabbit hole with this Diddy stuff and goddamn 😮😢
Cassies voice on this golden
Dam this a throwback definitely a classic ... Remember when this first came out in 09 still my shit
This Came Out in '08 i was 4 at that time
This sound will be missed, I was about 8 or 9, I'm glad to have grown up in this era, the mid-late 2000s were my early school years and an experimental edgy time. 🤙🏽
See Cassie the grass wasnt greener with Puff huh???
I am certainly sure someone was behind blocking this man to be superstar coz he was too good..... You could never find to this day a man that can sing in all levels produce mix and play multiple musical instruments....... Etc r Kelly and babyface
do we need to say names?
It was most likely Diddy. He took Cassie from him.
August 2024
Waiting on the day the Ryan leslie and frank ocean collaborate on something.
that would be dope
+Eduardo Lamount Do we even know where Frank Ocean is..
oh my lord would be iconic
I'm waiting on the day Ryan and Cassie collaborate on something again...
Aloep Ci Banks dead ass
I wonder if Diddy had something to do with his laptop being missing🤔
I wonder if he’s the reason she ain’t I. The video
@@Powersashaif I remember right, her and Ryan Leslie had actually broken up before shooting the video and it wasn't that agreeable a breakup
Quite possible considering Cassie is/was his artist I can see puff stealing it to prevent further songs and collabs
The really skinny girl is Jazline from "America's Next Top Model" like 2005! She was one of my faves!
Cassie should have been in this video
This song was fire
Im still addicted to this song- September 2023🎉🎉🎉
❤🎉2024🎉❤
Ryan leslie should have been one of the biggest producers in the game. He plays every instrument, sings and do beats. Wtf !!! Only kanye can nearly do all that
Not to mention he graduated from Harvard at 19
Ryan never blew up… diddy stole Cassie from him… maybe diddy sabotaged his career? He’s an evil guy
Ryan Leslie and Cassie need to get back in that studio and make more dope songs like this and songs from Cassie's debut album
Arlene Del Bull yesssssssss!!!
That will never happens because Cassie left a. Leslie for puff daddy
She’ll never, he’s the one that exposed her nudes.
Even if they don't play them on the radio, I'll be on TH-cam listening
@@djdeznyc then left Diddy for the trainer
This song brings me that nostalgic feeling....November 2019 still showing love!
Let me guess, Diddy didnt Cassie to be in this video?? 🤔 cause that aint Cassie
I missssssss these types of songs omg I wanna cry
Still Addicted to this song in 2018
Had to come back here after Ryan Leslie closed off the TinyDesk concert with this song 😂🎉❤ tried to put him in a 📦 it’s impossible !
Y'all ever see this man create this song? It's insane
One of my favorite videos to watch 💯
ryan leslie is so under rated...dude is on point...
Harvard educated and talented. The industry didn't want that marketed in underserved communities giving them hope. Nope.
You gotta be kidding me
Yup. They want hood boogers blowing stacks a d doing goofy thangs
@@shabazz360 Its the truth. He graduated from Harvard but because he didn't fit the mold of what "from struggle to riches" looks like they kept trying to block his moves. He is still one of the most talented producers of time in my opinion.
John Legend has an ivy degree
@@thedopestdavid Which institution did he attend?
This is not Cassie
So great to see people listening to this in 2019 🥰🥰🥰
This song has been on my playlist for 13 years straight. Ryan is so talent!
I hope NOW. that they taking diddy dumb ass down that maybe there is a chance is can revive his career. I always loved his sound.
she fainted cuz she hasn't eaten in days and where was cassie??
Hahaha, she's got no meat on her
st marine Lol.
st marine and? Buy her something that make her gain weight :/
Lmao
Drake looking weird in this one

Ahead of time
Ryan Leslie is a very talented man. Respect to him forever. 🙏🏾 #2019
Who is here after listening to Jaguar say Diddy destroyed this man's career and took his woman Cassie....smh
Diddy didn’t want Cassie there smh 😢
I'm mad this song doesn't have more views. it's is incredibly well done. beats lyrics hook everything
2023 and still listening to your stuff.. one of the most underrated artists ever!!
Damn Fab killed that verse
The girl in the video (1:36) needs to get addicted to food
Eric Matterson LMAO
Eric Matterson man, you ain't lying.
Eric Matterson 🤣🤣

She was one of the winners from ANTM
Haha it didn’t click till you said it
@@chantellee8805 Okay that explains it
😂🤣🤣🤣❗️
Who's here after finding out about Diddy saga. 😢
Sorry you had to be blackballed. I loved your music and still want to see more of you
If ryan leslie never loses that laptop he probably ends up being one of the biggest producers/artist for his decade
Am a tell my kids the guy in the video was Drake
😏😆🧟♂️
Straight from the Tiny Desk
After he made this song with Cassie Diddy got jealous. Since the. Ryan went under the radar
WHOS HERE 2019???
10 years later. Still a good track. 12.20.2019
2050 STILL ADDICTED TO THIS SONG
First time hearing this song and it’s actually good! Such a shame more music of Cassie and other artists never got to be heard or came out because of Diddy or the industry getting them blackballed 🤦🏻♀️
At this point ya'll need to get back in the studio and crush it. The mojo was always there ! Just do it to shit on em. Flat Out!
13 years later and this song is still the shit ❤
