This song was such a big deal in South Africa, it was shot in my hometown Durban South Africa. This was huge because Africa wasn't as inclusive as it is now in the music industry or world for that matter, so we felt so seen and included when Luda did this

Foreals, I was starting high school when this came out! And it felt like that was not too long ago, but looking at the years, it’s a long time ago. Damn.
Im so glad I grew up to real music. I was 19 years old when this song came out I feel bad for the younger generation because they missed out on real music!!!
Call me crazy but I just cried tears of happiness watching this video. So many shades of beautiful melanin. This song and video should be brought back. Ludacris is so amazing. I love all his music.
@-Steve - imagine coming all the way to watch this video praising African women and you make that comment, you're either obsessed or salty. Stop being cringe and chill out lmao 💀
Nostalgia AF. Wish I could go back in time and re-live that era when everything was simple during my early adolescent years. Timeless Luda classic track 👐
He in my top 10 for sure. Stayed on topic the whole time. Gave credit to all the ladies around the world. New rapper are so one dimensional. Great job Mr. Luda
I was 10 years old when I bought this album. I’m 28 now. Rap/Hip Hop’s peak was definitely mid 90s-mid 00s. They just don’t make albums like this anymore.
I love LUDACRIS...this song is everything. He is in my city Durban, South Africa and the models were Miss South Africa contestants. I appreciate the fact that he showed the REAL!!! NOT IGNORANT STEREOTYPES ABOUT AFRICA.👑🖤🖤🖤
@@amandaaphane9501 I came to say that actually, she was already a successful model at the time. She was at her peak actually she'd done the Sprite ad (I stand corrected on brand) but THAT ad.
Yet your watching a video with black people because how else would you come across my comment and if you were not watching the video then why are you on here? I really don't care if you believe black people are ugly; I feel we are beautiful. I'm just curious why are you on this video if you feel we are ugly because there's definitely no white people in this video. Good day.
My city Durban got a lil bit of exposure here in 2005, with Luda speaking isiZulu the regional native language for the province, it made us feel special
Back when black men use to have beautiful black woman of ALL SHADES in their music videos. This is why I only watch hiphop and r&b music videos from the 90s and early to mid 2000s and the music is better than now too . 👏👏👏👏 🍫🍫🍫🍫

back when hip-hop was in its prime
Quintillion Um no that would be the 90's
Darkest Day Hip Hop was better in the 90s, but it was more mainstream in the 00s
I can't stand for somebody to sit up there and tell me I'm old school for playing this music and that new hip-hop today is better
Clay Evans they wrong today's hip-hop don't even sound no where near this.
It was simply timeless music, this that feel good sunny vacation vibes type shit.
My goal definitely after college is to travel to Africa. I need a break from this continent.

Beat comes from wylde bunch- our lyfe which was released a year and 2 months prior. (Only knew this cuz of nba live 2005) luda just spednit up
I was 10 years old when I bought this album. I’m 28 now. Rap/Hip Hop’s peak was definitely mid 90s-mid 00s. They just don’t make albums like this anymore.
