His beats always had gravitas. Made u feel something. Especially near the end when he changes the bass drum and other instruments and it really makes u hype.
A lot of outsiders dont realize Manny Fresh come from one of the most dangerous wards in New Orleans(7th ward Downtown) . He rarely mentioned it in his songs,people always bring up the uptown,Magnolia and the Calliope but Manny was in the same area around that St. Bernard Project. That 7thward Downtown Innovation from Manny Fresh built cash money.
Wtf r u talking about?? There is nothing street about this it's all fake mainstream garbage. U want real street, listen to Woodie or anyone else from Northern California
Straight up, Wayne's lines are so good and he was justa rookie and didn't have any recognition for his lyrics and beats. I fucking love Lil Weezy! He's untouchable and sooo unique and nobody can compare to him AT ALL. Represent nigga!
Here for the 25th year anniversary. This was the first Lil Wayne song I ever heard and liked. If you from New Orleans you knew about this version of Lil Wayne.
I forgot what the show was called but it was on bet I would always turn that bih on when I would get home from school I got so mad when they stopped playing that show
I remember this song well when it dropped. This song is what propelled him into his career; and still should be considered his best. This was a good era for him. I appreciate his artistry and his personality. Do your thing Wayne. Man’s been through a lot.
Cash Money definitely took over the rap game from late 1998-2000 with so many classic bangers and albums. Wayne even at young age has been a star and dope lyricist. Hot Boy Wayne era was very memorable.
@nullvid I was talking about the old Cash Money that had Juvie, B.G., Wayne, Turk, Mannie, Birdman and Slim. From the mid 2000s to early 2010s, CMR was huge.
@blackjesus6433 It wasn't just X who had the game on lock at the time because Jigga, Eminem, Cash Money, Mos Def, Dr. Dre and Nas also had the rap game on lock.
2024 Can't believe it's been 25 Years Since this Classic Song, Video, and Album. "Tha Block is Hot" is an Underrated Cash Money 💎💎 besides "400 Degreez" and "tha Carter" and I love both Albums. "Tha Block is Hot" Lil Wayne Freshman Solo Album and it went Platinum, and he was just 16 years old!!! The Video Signifies the Late 90's New Orleans (Pre-Hurricane Katrina). Dope Times. Too Bad Turk wasn't in the Video. So Glad I Grew up this Era. P.S. We need a Hotboyz Reunion now that everybody Free 😅💯
This song is when I knew Wayne was gonna be a star. We saw him as a little boy back then. Juvenile was the star. This one hit hard and people were still trying to keep him in a young boy spot.
I never looked at Wayne as a kid rapper like Bow Wow or Romeo for some reason. Damn near all of the Hot Boyz were teens when this dropped except Juvenile.
Yeah Wayne... This is how many mindless pieces of human trash love to listen to the false talents and fake music that comes out of a fake persons gold encrusted mouth. #BanTheGhetto
I'm glad my Favorite rapper showing y'all he was that guy and still is.This for the youngstas.He was dropping fire and not cursing.Those bleeps are it was certain things you couldn't say on the radio back then 😁😂
Never was a fan of Wayne’s music but to watch his rise from being a third string member of the Hot Boys to becoming one of the biggest artists on the planet is nothing short of amazing.
I remember the Tuesday this album came out my dad took me in his work truck 20 mins to our best buy. And that Wednesday morning on the bus to school was so dope. Mannnnnnm the memories. Thank you lil wayne.
I be watching Wayne concerts I be hating he never perform none of his old school cash money hits , he would perform fireman or go dj but but all that came after hot boys
@@bigserg400 im pretty sure theres contract issues with that, especially since a lotta songs got BG on em, and Juve. and wasnt there beef between Baby and Wayne a few years back? i dont really keep up with the hip hop world nearly as much as i did in the late 90s early 2Ks. mainly just listen to the music now
@@9gsJota bro i know for a fact no grown man kisses his father on lips. And manny fresh had a interview about how birdman was gay and into all of them thats why he left
When _No Limit_ fell off during this time, this is where everyone ended up. This is always gon be my jam. You know what? You are all right w/ me, Wayne. You've carried the genre for years.
Wayne style and schemes have changed so much you can tell the difference between writing Wayne and non writing Wayne. Wayne was always my favorite HotBoy back in the day. BG Turk and Juvy did their thang… but Wayne was my guy back then… I had no idea he’d grow into the monster he’d become tho… crazy to think about.
Wayne deserve all his flowers 💐 while he still here this dude been irreverent for so many fucking years he is one of the greatest that ever did definitely coming from the south
I like to say I have been following Lil Wayne music since he been 16 years old this is the first song when they came out the block is Hot producer juvenile Big tymers 2024 music make me happy 🎉

Mannie Fresh killing beats again. Like always. He needs to be in the HOF of DJs.
His beats always had gravitas. Made u feel something. Especially near the end when he changes the bass drum and other instruments and it really makes u hype.
Yes i cosign that
Manny gets slept on. Dude made legendary bangers.
Mannie fresh Beats by da pound Organized Noize DJ Paul Juicy J Jermaine Dupri best producers from the south imo 🤷🏿♂️
Legendary, new generations soy… Tha Block is Soy
this man Wayne has rapped in four different decades now.. Actually insane
God loves yall
@@jay9inetvvno, Wayne loves us
True but he was the weakest in the group until they broke up. Jay-Z has rapped in 4 different decades too

Lil Wayne’s FLow On This Track Was Just FLawLess!!🔥🔥🦍✨💯
Hell ya
indeed
Block is hot 🥵
Music was way better back then
This boy rapped the whole song!! Straight bars!
I loved it when Juvie and BG spit on the hook!🔥🔥🔥
Mannie Fresh's production is just as important as the rappers that gave rise to the cash money era.
I only like the chorus and the beats I'm more of a Mannie fresh fan than a Lil Wayne fan

One of the rawest, realist, and most street inspired Raps ever. Incredible.
Ditto
Wtf r u talking about?? There is nothing street about this it's all fake mainstream garbage. U want real street, listen to Woodie or anyone else from Northern California
He looks no where today what he looked like back then!
One the streetest inspired most ever!!!!! dial up internet days i remember faxing this shit to my homies this shit so real!!!
Straight up, Wayne's lines are so good and he was justa rookie and didn't have any recognition for his lyrics and beats. I fucking love Lil Weezy! He's untouchable and sooo unique and nobody can compare to him AT ALL. Represent nigga!
2024 lil Wayne is still GOAT jamming to Lil Wayne since I was 14 I'm 42
Im 39 same boat man..even those juvie was the best at the time...u always knew wayne was gonna be the best out of the bunch
His cadence in this SONG is incredible!
Back when Lil Wayne was Lil..
Mannie blessed wayne with one the most fire beats. Fit Wayne so perfectly.
I miss this Wayne ... 😮 this will never get old ...
Can't believe it's been 25 Years already.
Time Flying 🕊️🕊️
Got old for me after about a minute!! 😆

Here in 2024!!! Classic! Wayne is tha 🐐
Here for the 25th year anniversary. This was the first Lil Wayne song I ever heard and liked. If you from New Orleans you knew about this version of Lil Wayne.
Wayne was so fuccin Colddddd 🥶🥶🥶 🔥🔥 straight beast
The first single of the off The Block Is Hot album. That was the start of his music legacy.
Only real 90 babies know all the words to this song 🔥🔥
Yea and NOT young boy version!
I used to bump dis in middle school back in the dayz
Fax📠
Early as 91 babies. God bless older brothers
Don't forget about us 80s babies who were at that perfect age to really understand how legit this shit was and know about that hustling life
Wayne is the best rapper ever
This man’s Star Power at a young age and lyricism was crazy!
you are clrealy a dickrider. His early work was FAR from lyrical 🤣🤣 rapping and bragging about how much money you have and shit is not lyrical
The youngest out the click, but his confidence was obvious he was born to be a star
Reason you have a young boy
Wayne always had it
he did double, trip, and and quap rhyme schemes. u so right. dude made his point early
Who was a fan of Lil Wayne when we used to only watch music videos on the TV before TH-cam existed?
Me!
Rap City!
Bro that shit was the best every track you loved had a video to watch with it mtv2 was fire
I forgot what the show was called but it was on bet I would always turn that bih on when I would get home from school I got so mad when they stopped playing that show

It's been debated wether it was BG, Turk or Lil Wayne who came up with Bling Bling as well
is that news? Wayne been saying tha. t N.O. rappers been saying a lot of things that are main stream now
Nah redman used it this same year.
@@Dan.Tebasco As much as I'm a hardcore Wayne fan, it was either BG or Turk who came up "bling" I wanna say it was Turk

This shit still bangs, RIP to the neighborhoods feeling this today 🙏🏿
I love the way they were ALL IN EACH OTHER'S VIDEOS.
Really been goin in as a young gent 🫡👑👑👑👑🫡🆑
B.G. And Juvenile killed the hook too lol.
Man I use to love some juvi... Especially "400 degrees" man I wore that shit out lol that shit was the best album to come out I still jam that shit!
Too true bro! Legendary hook
No he did
I'm going to tell you I love you with the great that's my boy and Lil Wayne

Dave Reacts nah the kids listening they mumble shit
Much love and respect for Wayne we are almost the same age and I remember when this dropped on the streets . Everyone was banging this In the hood 💯

@nullvid I was talking about the old Cash Money that had Juvie, B.G., Wayne, Turk, Mannie, Birdman and Slim. From the mid 2000s to early 2010s, CMR was huge.
Nah, the rap game belonged to DMX during that time. 🙏🏾
@blackjesus6433 It wasn't just X who had the game on lock at the time because Jigga, Eminem, Cash Money, Mos Def, Dr. Dre and Nas also had the rap game on lock.
@blackjesus6433 are you suggesting DMX is better than wayne lmao, dude had mannie fresh as a producer
bro!!! The nostalgia this video gives me is unreal!! STILL!!! To this day this is one of Wayne's BEST joints!!! WHEW!!!!!!! REAL HIP HOP!!!!!
All their voices unique I🤎it 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤷♀️
