In 2008 we had the choice of 50 Cent or Kanye. Everyone knew what the choice meant. A choice that would define everything that followed by killing gangster rap or whatever the fuck Meek Mill is. We chose Kanye.
The year was 2001. Fresh outta high school and into the workforce. The Neptunes were eating these tracks up. We had no idea Aaliyah was gonna leave this world and that 9/11 was gonna change the world as we knew it. Man. Simpler times.
I was reading through all the comments, and it made me wish I was in my teens or 20’s when this came out. I was only 3 years old when it did. Time truly flies, cause I’m now 23 & I love the Neptunes and that early 2000’s sound so much!! I wish I was old enough to enjoy it as they were releasing
Fab is one of the most down to earth person I've met as a celebrity... he's very kind and respectful. I personally met and spoke with him in Providence back in 2001. He even took a pic with me and signed the cd. I'll always support this musician ❤🎉
All these years later and I STILL love this song! The Neptunes have never made a bad, beat and Fab delivers the bars always. Thanks for posting these videos. Without UPROXX these videos would be lost forever, which would be sad.
I still remember pharell telling fab that he needs to flow like vanilla ice , ice Ice baby, on this song. Fab was like hell no. Pharell made him do it and he was right. That flow is bonkers on this beat
Listen here I graduated HS 2003 and the 90s and early 2000s was on a level these kids couldnt imagine. You had to been there to embrace the hook and nostalgia.
@@NorthPhilly-zr7xc Shit crazy but a blessing to see how the world has changed from that time period. Fab still looks good for his age I like that joint he did for the Chicago Bulls anthem for the 90s. That video is great it just lets you know it doesn't matter the era he just knows how to adapt.
@@traviscarter1023 yeah but I think the world would be a better place if we had more videos of people breaking dancing instead of twerking of lyrical rappers than mumbling, I miss this era humanity and people was much better connected then
@@NorthPhilly-zr7xc Big facts bra shit so dame backwards bra. The way they are doing it so corny . Like frfr they got black rapper mumbling and the white rapper being lyrical no cap. Like frfr we as people losing our swagger with music it being snatched away other cultures of people. Black people don't realize every body trying to be us. So yeah you right if we went back to hip hop and the culture the world would be better. You got to much wired energy right now.
2024 and this is still a banger
Oversized fitteds, durags, baggy gear. Miss the 90s and early 00s.

@Power106Fan Timbaland production on aaliyah music Hella fire 🔥
So many bangers
Omg i knew the pattern was familiar, had no idea Neptunes did the track.
And alot of their songs sounded the same.
Timbaland and akon biggest producers of that time
One the greatest hip hop jams of all time.
Here after watching Nore and Bleek talk about how this sounds like “Ice Ice Baby”
I'm here because I noticed one of his videos is 14 yrs old.. and this song is 23 yrs old.. 🎉🎉 still the shit.. BROOKLYN

Had to hear for myself! 😂
Just saw the TicTok 🤦🏾♂️
Man that’s the same reason I came 😂😂😂😂
This young kids will never understand 🔥
I'm good with that. Let me just sit in my rocking chair and blast while I fondly remember my years in the hood.
This was that heat when I was a senior in high school I'm 40 now man how times have changed but I'm glad I can say through it all I'm still here

@ShawnDon 97 The album "Ghetto Fabolous" did
They aligned his album with the 9/11 ritual. You wouldn’t believe who all was in Manhattan the night before the “attacks”.

@brandon lewis 😂💯
I never forget!!!!! #GoodDay
Ghetto Fabolous is a masterpiece, change my mind!
My favorite album of all time, so many bangers
We were Harlem shaking and pop locking the mess out of this song back then. What a time🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
It's ALL ABOUT the little girl in pink doing the true Harlem Shake in her barrettes. 💕 #culture #thetruehiphop #2000sera
Right....
I miss lil kids doing the Harlem shake in 2000’s videos lol
Then she cold with it 🤦♀️
REAL TALK!!!!💯💯💯
Yes!
He modernized the 80s flow id like to see this done again
Jammed this song recently! That beginning beep before the beat fully drops! This is such a classic! A Neptune's Monster Production!
The Neptunes are insane🔥💯💪🏾
Chipped tooth Fab was dope.
From Neptune’s to Timbaland both Og’z in the Game!! Fab soo underrated..
wdym ?
Pharrell said this was the vanilla ice flow. Now I can’t stop hearing it 😂🤣🤣
Nore said it...
Q-Storm I went back to make sure and it Pharrell definitely said it. Not more.
Just put a corny ass 90s beat on it and there you go
Yep the Nore interview got me here.😂😂
Sammmmmme 😂
This back when raps was flamboyant, stylish, and fun. These days, rap is about sex, depression, and drug abuse.
Amen to that. Rap ain't saying anything today
Flamboyent?? What
Preach brutha, preach!!!
In 2008 we had the choice of 50 Cent or Kanye. Everyone knew what the choice meant. A choice that would define everything that followed by killing gangster rap or whatever the fuck Meek Mill is.
We chose Kanye.
F*ckin dead on
I miss the fashion from these times. The jerseys were fire
Throwback era lol Mitchell & Ness
#2024 Y'all know the 90's and infancy of 2000's will NEVER LOSE, EVER!!! This beat and lyrics millenniums before it's time, Jawn 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👑

Facts Everybody Were Follow That Wave I’m Still Doing This
Can't forget Cam but you right tho. Nelly had a few of them joints too
Big Boi from Outkast did it first...
@@biglex42 that’s a fact
One of the best hip hop beats of all time
Happy 21st anniversary to Fabolous' debut album Ghetto Fabolous!!
This is so New York. I love it.
Kings Pharrell and Fabolous, Timbaland good old school song 👑🎶🇬🇫🆙🍀👑🎶✨
This beat still sounds futuristic. It was head of it time. The beat destroyed most music they have out.
2:53 he went off with that head nod.
That jam back then in early 2000s.
The year was 2001. Fresh outta high school and into the workforce. The Neptunes were eating these tracks up. We had no idea Aaliyah was gonna leave this world and that 9/11 was gonna change the world as we knew it. Man. Simpler times.
I woke up with this song in my head randomly 🤣‼️
Me too just popped in my head !
@@monicamcgavran1316 😘
I swear lol 😘
Me too
Yes me too
THE NEPTUNES
The part where the phone went off with the beat is iconic
Don’t matter the car, style or the fit. Breaking necks with dis one ☝️
2023 and still playin' this heat!!!!!
As much as I'm open to some of the new hip hop that's out, I'ma always miss the 2000's. 2000's, 90's and 80's.
I can't get with this new hip hop the trap sound and mumble raps are horrible to me
The new stuff is garbage. 90's had the best jawns !!!!!
Early 2000. When Hip Hop still had some life . This album was dope
The final part of this song is better than the starting
Timbaland did the second track (Right Now & Later On) A lot of his work is unique and tends to have aged really well.
I was reading through all the comments, and it made me wish I was in my teens or 20’s when this came out. I was only 3 years old when it did. Time truly flies, cause I’m now 23 & I love the Neptunes and that early 2000’s sound so much!! I wish I was old enough to enjoy it as they were releasing
Brooklyn 2001...Damn you made me feel old, I was 20 back then. That entire era was fire we just wanted to make money and have fun.
It’s crazy how this was originally going to be NFSU’s theme song and not Get Low
Neptune’s is ridiculous 🤯
This Neptunes beat was ahead of its time
I was a lil youngin in middle school hopping the train when this shit dropped!!! 2002
That’s the Harlem shake. I love that little girl so much. She was my dance inspo!
I was 20 going on 21 when this dropped, tearing up clubs all over NYC with my peoples!
That must’ve been so fun ❤️
