1. Thanks to Mike and Joe for the reactions 2. Glad you all enjoyed Alicia Week 3. Thanks for the kind words 4. Hopefully now you saw the beauty in Alicia's art and dive into her discography 🥰
The Diner is the legendary Pan Pan that was on the corner of 135th and Lennox Avenue, across the street from Harlem Hospital in Manhattan. It burned down, and the space is still vacant. They sold great Soul and Chinese food. I miss it. 😢 I used to get the fish and grits and the chicken and waffles. Fun Fact -Alicia does a lot of her videos in Harlem around 135 and Columbia University -Most of her videos feature a rapper-Mos Def is in this one. She has also had Method Man and Common in her other videos
The Diner scenes were shot at Pan Pan (RIP Pan Pan) which was located in Harlem, NY (uptown Manhattan). Pan Pan burned down 20 years ago (probably not long after this video was filmed😮). The party scenes where the fight broke out and the China cabinet crashed down were inspired by the classic (and criminally underrated) film Cooley High, which if you get a chance, you should really watch.
I stayed in Harlem for a few months back in 2000, right across from Pan Pan. The food was so good. When i heard they burned own a few years later, I almost cried.
It was on my list instead of Try Sleeping With A Broken heart, however because this song is so different and shows that Alicia can do more than just RnB and had a fun video I had to include it and the boys noticed its uniqueness.
Speaking as someone born and raised in NYC, and having worked in Harlem (uptown Manhattan) for years, when Alicia mentioned "39th & Lenox" it's not literally 39th. I'm quite certain she's referring to 139th St & Lenox Ave. Most ppl from the city rarely say the whole name/number when referring any street that far uptown lol
The phone breaking up and then acting like she didn't hear which day is such a cornball move lmao - Her mother plays the lady with the short hair and glasses at the diner - Mos Def is the love interest - Her real co-producer ex-boyfriend Kerry Brothers is the guy with cornrows fighting in front of the china cabinet at the house party - The Main Ingredient's Let Me Prove My Love To You is sampled in the song - Kanye West is co-producer/writer of the song (she's the main writer, he's the main producer and iirc he suggested the phone call/talking in the song like they used to do back in the day, she then sort of freestyled it) - John Legend sings the background harmonies - Pan Pan Diner where it was shot burned down some time after in the 2000s
Over there cracking up about the hot chocolate 😂😂😂😂😂 because of this video any restaurant i went to me and my cousin always ordered " The Special " not yall scoping out his business card 😂😂😂😂
They don’t take requests from their reaction video comments. They post a video on their channel every week titled “request weeks here” (usually wednesday or thursday). When they post it go there and put your week in the comment section. You put the artist’s name then under it list the songs you want and number them. You can comment as many weeks/artists as you want but make them separate comments. If a week you post gets enough “likes” to be in the top4 then it will be voted on in the following livestream (usually saturday or sunday). If it wins the vote then they will react to your week. Good luck! I’m rooting for you! ♥️

The café shop tragically burned down months after the music video. My aunt used to work there and brought an autograph from the one and only Ms. Keys!!
One of Kanye’s best R&B productions!!
Nice pfp!

2000s Kanye was unstoppable.

Me too the days of growing up in the 80s and early 90s there
damn this sucks I was planning on going to find it when I went to New York

wow that's so interesting
🎶and I swear on my mother and father it feels like…🎶 ✨✨✨✨💖💖💖🥰
She REAAAALLY meant it 🤣
@@YourAIIure Yes! Every time I hear that part I feel it deep down in my soul. She meant *every* word. 🔥🔥🔥
Your reactions bring me so much joy during my hard days I want to thank you both. You keep me above water. ❤
Aaaawwww 🥰
I wish Unthinkable, I'm Ready would have made the list. That song takes you to places!!
Week 3
Right!❤
Yes this one and like you’ll never see me again.
I came her to comment this. Top 3 song from her for me.
It was on my list instead of Try Sleeping With A Broken heart, however because this song is so different and shows that Alicia can do more than just RnB and had a fun video I had to include it and the boys noticed its uniqueness.
Poor Alicia, this man doesn't deserve you.
Thank you Jason, several songs I didn't know by Alicia yet, it was a pleasant surprise
So true he didn't even think she existed other than the person that makes him food
@@morrenah-x7tnow she's Trying Sleeping with a Broken Heart🥲

Do you still live there
The phone breaking up and then acting like she didn't hear which day is such a cornball move lmao
- Her mother plays the lady with the short hair and glasses at the diner
- Mos Def is the love interest
- Her real co-producer ex-boyfriend Kerry Brothers is the guy with cornrows fighting in front of the china cabinet at the house party
- The Main Ingredient's Let Me Prove My Love To You is sampled in the song
- Kanye West is co-producer/writer of the song (she's the main writer, he's the main producer and iirc he suggested the phone call/talking in the song like they used to do back in the day, she then sort of freestyled it)
- John Legend sings the background harmonies
- Pan Pan Diner where it was shot burned down some time after in the 2000s
Sad that the diner burned down. 💔
Great info! Thx!
Mos Def did have the vibe in this video lol
This has to be my favorite Alicia song ever.
LOVE IT! And love the video a lot!
It might be my favorite. Dairy, unthinkable and this one are my favorites.
Her best song, imo.
Fun fact: John legend is doing the oooo backing vocals towards the end of the song.
About time...this the one i been waiting on....because I'm in love with Mos Def😊❤...also love the video...it's my favorite Alicia keys
My favorite Alicia Keys song
So happy this was #1

I loooooove this song so much. It just feels so damn good. Whew lord… 🔥🔥🔥
Jason Brown you did amazing choosing this week!!!
@@digthewarrmth Facts!
I knew it🎉🎉🎉🎉
This list had me relistening to Alicia Keys. Mos Def was looking good in this video.
That's Mos Def(Yasiin Bey) tho, i would've been acting just like her lol
That man could've already had a lady/wife. Maybe that's why he wasn't taking what she was clearly putting out. Love the song and video anyway.
Alicia Keys & Maxwell Fire We Make 🔥
Yesss🔥

@@adrian8green 👌🏾
When I saw you were doing Alecia Keys, I was hoping this song would be a part of it. 🫶🏽🎶🎵
💯🥰
Alicia's hairstyle with the pigtails are afro puffs
Maybe 39th and Lenmox was remodeled and changed due to a construction project years ago and it actually did exist when she released the song
Where are they from
She meant 139th St and Lennox, that’s Harlem NYC🔥
If I remember The woman that was on the register was Alicia keys Mom Terria Joseph
This is definitely my fave Alicia Keys song. Glad it's Number 1
That’s MosDef! Who would fall in love with him 🤗🤗🤗
I think you mean who wouldn't fall in love with him
@ yes! I didn’t notice the typo 🥹 I definitely meant wouldn’t!
So Weekly Top 5, Can you do the re-do of the reaction video of Ciara's Oh? Because the video is blocked in worldwide in Europe.
Even if they do a redo (which they don't) it will be blocked again. Your only way of seeing it is paying for their patreon and you can see it there.
@@Sameyra I thought it will never do a redo of this.
Off topic but we need a K. Michelle week

Did they find out what caused the fire
Kanye made this Song 🔥
Produced. Alicia was the main songwriter.
My favorite Alicia song
Fun fact this song was produced by Kanye West. It's one of my favourite Kanye productions. And I absolutely love that cascading piano.
