After his passing I came looking for exactly this. RIP, Mr. Madden. What we want? The rock in the palm of our hands. What we got…:we got John Madden. You the goat.
I’m 28 years old and don’t even play video games anymore unless it’s the occasional game of this game at a buddies house. Watching this just took me back.
normally on any other introduction to a game i would always press x to hurry up and get to the game...but with this intro me and my older brother would always let this on play....memories
I aint see this since it came out and i Remember the words i was 9 then im 28 now wow im impressed .... I just found out today that this was ludicrous too no wonder it was a hit.
I been playing madden since early 90's , so many memories with friends and family and from the movie Little Giants man what a classic I was excited watch that with my son once he started playing peewee football . that voice was 1 of a kind and will never be duplicated . RIP John Madden
Right. Only half of em got dementia these days. If you round up most of em aren't like mentally deficient. I got hit in the head a lot and I can still read my kidses Dr. Seuss books. They read stuff for college but I got all these books now my favorite is cat n a half he a fool doe 😂
Brings back memories from Fourth Grade Elementary School. I remember Uncle Darryl, Jamaal, and Munchie had this on PS1 Console Early December 1999 the Last Year of the Century, and the Millennium, and the 90's decade.
Imagine the backlash if an intro like this came out in 2020 Concussion causing hits Helmets flying off "Put on a skirt if you come on the field and don't want to get hurt!" Game would get cancelled before release like it's NBA Live or something
Everything about this intro is just perfect. The fact it resonated with me at such a young age that I remember it word for word 20+ years later says alot. This is such a huge piece of my childhood.
As I a kid I did not realize this was Luda. I just know when my cousin first got this game and we popped it in this intro had us hype! "It's things on this field that you just can't change, EA sports in the game." And yet sooo much has changed. It's very few hits in this intro that WOULDN'T be a flag and a fine. Smh

It’s been 22 years and I still know it word for word.
Same
Facts me too lol
Facts!! Greatest intro of all time to any madden game!
Yup me too
My first rap song 🎵 not even kidding. I use to go back and listen to it all the time.
I used to sit at the main menu for a good 10 minutes just to hear this introduction more than once
Me too lol. I used to love that randy moss clip
Fckn same
Big Facts
Nothing like seeing it for the first time after opening the case.

After his passing I came looking for exactly this. RIP, Mr. Madden. What we want? The rock in the palm of our hands. What we got…:we got John Madden. You the goat.
The best intro ever. Nothing will ever beat this. Luda was on his way up and madden was still respected
2019... this still stands as one of the best intros to any sport game...
Facts🔥 they can put this song on the new madden and it still be fire
This is the best intro of them all
NBA 2K3s wasn't a slouch 💯😂
Kap
The best Madden intro I've ever seen.
Juan Avina it’s a tie between this one and the 2001 intro. That one was awesome.
It's Ludacris best work lol
Xzibit 2001.
You are more than correct. Nothing will ever beat this
Best intro hands down unknown Lundacris.
Remember this as a kid, didn't realize I was listening to Ludacris lol
That is until you look @ the game credits and see him and Jermaine Dupri in the music category 😂😩😭🎯💯
Neither did I.. I just realized it listening to it just now.. My mind is blown!
Most of these hits are illegal now
I see maybe 2 or 3 out of the whole video that are illegal hits. The rest are hard nose straight in your face clean hits
Erik Watson cuz they walk on the field and don't wanna get hurt lol
You mean all
JBHtown1646 no he’s right you can’t put your wait on the quarterback anymore
"You betta go harder then hard rougher than rough KABLAAAAOWW..."
Put up your guard get ready to rush
Always loved how that played on the loudspeakers in the game before the kickoff 💯
This was the MOST HYPE theme ever for MADDEN and i never skipped it ! 2021 lookin back on 2000 ! haha
“There’s things on this field that you just can’t change”
NFL Commissioner: O really??
Goodell killed real football in the NFL.
I’m 28 years old and don’t even play video games anymore unless it’s the occasional game of this game at a buddies house. Watching this just took me back.
Haven’t heard this into in like 15 years and still know every lyric! Hahaha
Me too
News just broke of John madden and I instantly had to come listen to this !! RIP
RIP to a legend John Madden 🙏
Roughing the passer, unnecessary roughness, helmet to helmet, leading with helmet, driving the QB to the ground. Man all these new penalties suck.
Roughing the passer ain't new the rest are tho
This was the most memorable intro of the Madden series ever. I havent heard it in years probably decades and I still remembered it word for word
The greatest intro to any game ever! I was 16 when this game came out and the intro still gives me chicken skin to this day!
I was 15 ❤ I was all Madden mode fun times
Best intro for video game EVER!!! 23 years later still GOATED!!
That had no business being that hard. I've been on a nostalgia rabbit hole for hours looking at old madden content
This is my first time seeing this madden intro..that ending 😧

LUDA WITH THE BEST INTRO EVER IN MADDEN!!
My very first Madden game I ever played. RIP John Madden
Eagles were pretty bad in this one but I still got Mcnabb where he needed to be to win the Super Bowl in franchise mode!
I aint see this since it came out and i Remember the words i was 9 then im 28 now wow im impressed .... I just found out today that this was ludicrous too no wonder it was a hit.
It's funny I was 9 when this dropped too and I'm 27 and I had this on PlayStation too and I also knew the words 😂
Same I always used to play it when i was 9, i'm 29 now. Good memories @@dsavagemusic5241
I don't know how I didn't catch the fact that's it's LUDA!!! And it's got some solid bars!
I was only 10. got this game on the Christmas of 99. I'm 30 now.
I been playing madden since early 90's , so many memories with friends and family and from the movie Little Giants man what a classic I was excited watch that with my son once he started playing peewee football . that voice was 1 of a kind and will never be duplicated . RIP John Madden
True. Madden is a legend
2020 and I'm still here . The best !!!!
Look at those hits,no babies at that time
Right. Only half of em got dementia these days. If you round up most of em aren't like mentally deficient. I got hit in the head a lot and I can still read my kidses Dr. Seuss books. They read stuff for college but I got all these books now my favorite is cat n a half he a fool doe 😂
@@clintkarklus5523 lmao sounds like those hitz nocked sum since in two ya
Wow remember rapping this in elementary school before me and the guys used to play football wow such good memories!
Brings back memories from Fourth Grade Elementary School. I remember Uncle Darryl, Jamaal, and Munchie had this on PS1 Console Early December 1999 the Last Year of the Century, and the Millennium, and the 90's decade.
I swear, with the new millennium looming, 1999 was NOT going down without a fight!
@@Joe_Parmesan Without a Fight is RIGHT.
Best Intro ever!
RIP to a legend 12/28/2021
RIP John Madden
Imagine the backlash if an intro like this came out in 2020
Concussion causing hits
Helmets flying off
"Put on a skirt if you come on the field and don't want to get hurt!"
Game would get cancelled before release like it's NBA Live or something
This should be on every madden game
Came here after hearing about John Madden. RIP.
Wow....all of these hits would have been a penalty and ejection in todays game...... Sickest intro ever and i still know all the words lmao
And this was before anyone knew who Ludacris was... legendary!!
This into never got skipped.💯
I see 10 helmet to helmets...7 roughing the passers.. 4 horse collars off one 1:30min intro
Ludacris snapped on this
NOSTALGIA
R.I.P. thanks for the memories
Bring back so many memories! Luda smoked that Flow
Never skipped the intro
The first Madden I've ever played it was on PC.
Foolish Demon pc was back in the day
This was my first Madden as well... Had it on PS1
This was one of the best PC games I got ever and one of the best gifts ever given to me. Miss Ya Dad, no worries, Broncos still rocking
16 years later
Dewayne White lol. By the way like the last name white that's mine
Lol you never know
That’s ludacris rapping 💪🏾💪🏾
Walk down memory lane.
I just showed my 6month old son this and I know it word for word still!!
Memories.....Elementary memories in mid to late '00. Favorite Madden ever!
Man you never lied what an epic time
My first Madden game. 🌹 Man those were better times.
It will never be a sports intro harder than this. I would watch this intro a million times just to get ready for my 10 and under football game.
I can't say it would top this, but, I love NBA Live 03's intro. Fab killed it!
Just Bruise And Beaten All Black And Blue And Its Been Like That Since Madden 92........Ludacris Madden
All these players in this intro were just fined for hits and celebrations from 1999😳
God i feel old. Remember this like it was yesterday.
This still gets my vote for tops. Good to see many agree.
Ahhhhh ! the memories 💪🎯🔥😀
Epic
Playin this for you best madden intro John R.I.P
R.I.P. John Madden 😲🙏🏾
One of the greatest video game intros ever. LONGLIVEJOHNMADDEN
R.I.P. John Madden
Flags on everyone of those hits nowadays
Times have changed 😂 i remember this so well. I remember 2001's even more
New Millennium, New Friends, New Century, New Villains, New Faces, Newborn Babies of the First Decade (2000's) era.
Rip Madden they don't make intros to games like this anymore 🔥🔥🔥🔥 highlights go crazy
Greatest Video Game Intro EVER🔥💯💯💯
Crazy 2023 still know this word for word nothing still haven’t top its
RIP JOHN MADDEN
Classic intro still have thus game
in 2006-8 there was a stick figure video with this song in it. RIP best video of all time
Everything about this intro is just perfect. The fact it resonated with me at such a young age that I remember it word for word 20+ years later says alot. This is such a huge piece of my childhood.
If Goodell saw this intro he'd suspend every player 80 games for unnecessary roughness
RIP Mr Madden
Aww man 20 years ago I had this on cpu lol I remember it like it was yesterday
This intro still goes hard!
By far the best entrance to any sports game ❤
R.I.P John Madden
2022 and I’m still here #RIPMADDEN
I had to come back to this after John Maddens death 😔 HE WILL LIVE FOREVER
The best Madden intro right here!
No doubt! Prime Luda was a beast!
RIP JOHN MADDEN!
Best game intro ever. Fight night is a close second. I downloaded this on mp3 that day.
RIP Madden. Had to watch the best madden intro ever
RIP MADDEN… arguably the best one ever !
This intro stands alone forever
Luda rocked it!
Hardy Nickerson at the end is the most underrated linebacker! Dude is always closing out hits! Check out NFL Xtreme 2 intro!
This came out before Luda was mainstream
RIP MADDEN
Just dropped a tear
RIP legend! 🙏 🕊
why is this the first time ive heard this
Rip John madden
Greatest intro to a sports game flat out
Ludacris did what he had to do in this intro 🔥🔥🔥🔥
As I a kid I did not realize this was Luda. I just know when my cousin first got this game and we popped it in this intro had us hype! "It's things on this field that you just can't change, EA sports in the game." And yet sooo much has changed. It's very few hits in this intro that WOULDN'T be a flag and a fine. Smh
They gotta bring this back for Madden 23 wouldn't skip it if I could , don't remember if I could or not 😂
Tied with GT3 as my favorite intros!!!
Best theme song ever.
