Same. Always loved this song. I always say this was the last "Classic" Ja & Shanti song of that era when murder inc were in their prime early 00s 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I was 13 going on 14 when this dropped. 8th Grade bop for me 😊😎✌️
As far as I remembered, Ja Rule was the first singing male rapper.. He was not afraid to take a risk and look it made him even more famous and paved the way for Drake and J. Cole etc
+dulleLoooL Can you read bitch? He never said Ja Rule was more famous than Drake or J Cole. (Ja Rule was huge af back then though so its debatable) he said Ja Rule paved the way for them.
im sorry if I've offended some people with my comment, thats just how i feel and everyone is entitled to their own opinions. But homie I've listened to hip hop for a damn long time now, and i know that Ja Rule was huge back then, but dont tell me he paved the way for people such as J.cole, he did it all by himself which is even more impressive. Dollar and a dream homie, peace out!
Ja rule dissed Eminem and Dr Dre on the same song that he dissed 50 cent on and most importantly he mentioned Hallie jade Eminem's daughter on that song
I know im a late bloomer. I lived in an era where mumble rappers rappin’ but this, the 90’s to 00’s rnb and rap are my kind of jam and they aint even comparable
@@PeridotPistachio honestly the most I can probably say is make smart decisions while your young cuz they may bite or not bite yo azz later in the future
Just heard this today after so many years it was 630 am cruising solo still dark out and god this song really brought me back to some of the best days of my life I'm so grateful for those times and I would do anything to just go back..... "Picture me rollN"
I remember when I was a teenager, going to school and feeling so cool listening to this song and other ones from those two fellas! 😁😁😁 Kiss from France!!!
I just listened to that song right before I clicked on this.Man its like it brings a tear to my eye because what happened to music like this? its not there anymore.Hopefully someone will come along and restore both rap and r&b back to to its glory days.Until then I guess we'll have to wait.If I don't don't do something by then lol
girl your stare, those eyes i ''love it when you look at me baby'' your lips, your smile i ''love it when you kiss me baby'' ahahaaha! i miss these songs!
Just thought I'd comment and remind you to enjoy this song again today! 8 years later, I bet you're missing these songs and times more now than ever. Stay safe and healthy in this covid world!
May 1;2016 Mesmerized. Ashanti was and still is fire. M.I. was untouchable. making hits like Feds PRINT MONEY THEY HAD THE GAME ON LOCK. She drops a Indy Album 2morrow support it I heard its another Winner from such a talented Artists. Peace
The shit today is all the same, same annoying voice, same stupid stutter rapping or whatever it’s called and the same boring beat, shit like this back in the day was all different and legit
I was listening to this song regularly as a kid and I didn’t even know what the lyrics were about, it just “sounded good” to me.. good old childhood innocence as an extra, I listened to this while playing Neopets 😂
Yeah I still listen to this shit haha, it reminds me of times at parties drinking with this song blasting and its just still good listening to it, gives good vibes. Who's in hahaha
Best part of RUclips you're pretty much anonymous. Best place to vent. I spent over ten years of my life incarcerated. Before that, i was 15, I met my first love... This song man.. She reached out to me 14years down the road. She didn't know what happened to me because I got lost in the shuffle of the foster care system then went to juvie for 2 years graduated to prison... I repressed so many things in my life but once we spoke to each other through messenger it opened the flood gates. She's engaged and became a nurse. Im happy for her all the same. I'm with a good woman but ever since last night she contacted me. My world's been upside down. I look in the mirror amd just feel regret at wasting my life! For what? The homies... Im just glad she made something of herself. My life is nothing but regrets, it's a dark place in my mind
I love this song ja rule and ashanti are perfect even with there contrasting voices. This song reminds me of how i felt about a girl one point in my life
Music is the closest thing to a time machine we will ever have...
and youtube
Takes me wayyy back
Preach fam
I concur!
Well video games, movies, and pictures are pretty close to a time machine too
I was 12 years old when this song came out. I’m now 31. This song was everything to me while I was growing up. I really miss these times.
I'm 33. I switch to metal because Rap, Rnb, hip hop music is not as good as before :(
me to bro
This album was the first I bought without my parents knowing 😂
Oh my days.. we be growing. 🙈🙈
Same. Always loved this song.
I always say this was the last "Classic" Ja & Shanti song of that era when murder inc were in their prime early 00s 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Alot of memories as a youngin cross my mind when I listen to this song anybody in 2020 still listening to this classic ?
👍👍🎉🎉🔥🔥
🙋♂️
Yep yep!
este wey how can we not come back to this !
meeee on a Sunday night! =)
I love that this sounds like a really romantic song but most of the lyrics are Ja Rule saying he’s trying to bang
❤❤❤
Exactly. The,way. You. Like it, right?
Girls,like. That. At. Least. He's. Being. A. Gentleman.... Somewhat. Lol
@@billydiggs8602 damn right just the way I like it haha
Lol gotta go with nature if the mixture there
Thats what all his songs are about damn near. 😂
Ja Rule's voice is so Iconic lol. I remember when big ass shirts, big pants and airforces were trending
cookie monster from the hood
+KuyaLadyThief lol don't forget them head bands and wristbands lol
+TheChronicRhythm Fuck nigga, gtfoh with that hating shit.
Sasha Sarronen No ones hating lmao. I listen to Ja rule often.
stompin in my urrforce wunz
ashanti's voice is mesmerizing
Ashanti was always the best part of Ja Rules hits....
Kevin Nolan Jarule is a legend!!!! Making hit songs after hit songs rather it was with Ashanti or not!!!! He made her!!! Don't you forget it
The rest of her is too
Together they are mesmerizing and they make each other the best that they are
@countrygirl countrymusiclover same here girl!!! Lol I bet a lot of women would go lez for Ashanti
I've always heard this song played my aunt back when i was kid and I'm loving it until now. RnB's in 90's are so vibin'. 2020 anyone ? xx
Lol listening to it right now 16 August 2020 Sunday vibes ♥️♥️
2019 and still bumping like things never got old

Donna Summers More famous than j cole? HA! the only reason he got "Famous" is because everyone dissed hes ass!
agreee 💯💖
+dulleLoooL Can you read bitch?
He never said Ja Rule was more famous than Drake or J Cole. (Ja Rule was huge af back then though so its debatable)
he said Ja Rule paved the way for them.

One of the greatest of all time, I use to listen this in my teens.. I'm 30 now.. old school rules
there's nothing like that nostalgic feeling
dude old school rap are the best!
@countrygirl countrymusiclover Fuck diddy..he ain't even a rapper
@countrygirl countrymusiclover he's still a rapper so this is classified as rap/r&b
countrygirl countrymusiclover Puff daddy is a producer
Hjo
rap? R&B
I think Ja Rule has an amazing voice! I don't think he ever got the credit he deserved! I'm still listening in 2020! Hell yeah!
Ja rule dissed Eminem and Dr Dre on the same song that he dissed 50 cent on and most importantly he mentioned Hallie jade Eminem's daughter on that song
This is a solid tune. Say what you will about Ja Rule he knew how to make a Thugs Need Love Too track.
I wish this was the music now a days. Nothing beats the old music.
I never get tired of this song

+Karman Steward Yeh, I dont care what the rest say, ja-rule was the truth back in the day. His tunes bring back great memories.
Holla!
u got that right!! sweet song
Ja rule is really really good live. He sounds exactly the same.
I love his live shows. Can't wait till he comes back to NC :)

Which is great I have heard from everyone personally and professionally that Mariah Carey SUCKS at live shows. She just doesn't sound good.
I can't believe that this was 17 years ago. I was just 19. Time flies...
Seems like it was just yesterday don't it
Actually it was 18 years, it came out in 2002.

Rule was the shiiid back in the days
This song takes me back to 1st grade. Coach was playing this in P. E.
If I were a PE teacher Id fear for my life if I played this song! Your teacher gave no fucks
+AfroPK yeah it actually came on the radio so it was clean
Well, it was the 2000s so the teachers wouldn't give a damn if something like this played
@@colinmiller8824 actually, a lot of them would
Yeah, now with the SJWs and shit.
My favorite part is when JA says " you know you're right and I'm the type to pull up to your bumper, get your number" 👂🏿❤️💯🙏🏿👑
Latrice Jackson Babyyy, and I can only help but wonderrr
Latrice Jackson I like when he says u be my down ass with ur round ass
As a huge Eminem and 50 Cent fan I don’t fw Ja Rule but I have to say some of his songs like this one are timeless

ronas here, it’s time to sit back and enjoy some old school 🍺
damn ja I miss these days when I was young dancing to this with young shorty
Been banging since 02'. I was 11 back then. I remember replaying this song on The Last Temptation album.
I’m so glad I grew up with this music childhood memories right here
I slowed the song down to 75%. Ja rule sounds like he is in pain like he really loves her. The raspy voice ja has workes in this regard
This song is ahead of it's time lol. Anyone could get down to this in 2018.
2016 Good Music is timeless....
2019 ??
Kelvin Silva hell yea kuz

The Classic Style beat and of course the classic chorus reminds me of the original style that we all love
It's 2014 & I'm still listening to this song :P
Girl its 2019 and people still listening.
Child, its 2020 and we still be listening to this 😎
The days right before hiphop/rap went downhill.
If only you knew back then just how bad it would get. I'm sure the genre isn't finished devolving either
The shit today is all the same, same annoying voice, same stupid stutter rapping or whatever it’s called and the same boring beat, shit like this back in the day was all different and legit
Factual SMH lol
Long dong John preach!!! All you hear now is sex f*cking hoes bla bla it's not the same
