  • This is early 2000s Pop/R&b/Hip Hop music at its best! Magnificent duo Ashanti and Ja Rule perform two of their hits, with assistance from Vita & Charli Baltimore to close things out.
    *Not monetized. Just an appreciator and sharer of great music and timeless LIVE performances.

      Nothing beats the 2000 fashion was hood,sexy, it just flowed and damn right im 34 still dress like this durags baggy sweats ,fitted cap timbz and forces headbands for life.

Watch Memphis interview on breakfast club he literally is speechless on how Jay always find a way and is always bless to be at the right time right place to do the right move. He almost seem scared lol he literally said you guys have no idea I know this man since a child this man walk with angels. We have never seen a successful artist in all facet of industries not just music.
