Precisely! I'm 34 years old but in all honesty it truly wasn't that long ago but because the music industry's always changing a lot of younger people don't seem to appreciate how solid a lot of these old classics really are. First song that came out over 20 years ago this still sounds very fresh and just gives you the impression that guys like LL Cool were wise to stay relevant in the game

50 wrote soooo many fire song hooks......people normally never believe it when i tell them 50 wrote the hook on songs you wouldn't think 50 would be able....... Staying with the 50, Em & Dr. Dre writing credits..........Dr. Dre had album after the Chronic, named "2001", which "forget about Dre" is prolly one most well known song off it, BUT.......Dr. Dre has a song with just him on the 2001 album called "The Watcher", The Watcher is now a WestCoast legendary anthem........in which Marshall Mathews aka Eminem wrote the whole dang song, not parts of.......all of it.......if you dig deep enough you'll see both Dre and Emimem are listed as the writers but its came out that Em wrote all of it........

I think I'm just a little too young to appreciate what he has done for the rap industry. But, by looking back it does help me see that our favorite rappers wouldn't be anything without the OG's.
Cus this album was the begining of his downfall as a pure lyrical rapper and went full pop alot of people who grew up with radio started giving up on ll with this album personally this the last good album from ll for me and definition killed his legacy but i know alot of old heads who hate anything from ten to present

This song was released on December 14, 2002, as the second single from LL Cool J's 9th studio album, 10 (2002). It also appears on the soundtrack to the 2003 film Deliver Us from Eva, in which LL Cool J stars alongside Gabrielle Union. Singer Tweet was originally slated to provide vocals but Amerie was eventually chosen instead. On the August 12, 2022 edition of The Breakfast Club, 50 Cent revealed that he ghostwritten LL’s verses on the song. "Paradise" embodies portions of Keni Burke's 1982 song "Risin' to the Top", penned by Burke, Allan Felder, and Norma Jean Wright.
And LL then made clear that he wrote his own verses, but 50 wrote the hook/chorus sung by Amerie. LLs verses don't sound like they were written by 50 as well so I believe him when he says he wrote them himself.
❤ LL Cool J ❤ I definitely love this song ❤ I have so many favorite songs from LL Cool J that I enjoy listening to watch all of his videos ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I always loved this beat man, so classy and breezy. Sounds like you're out on the ocean or on an island relaxing. Man this makes me nostalgic for the early 2000's so much. I miss that era.
He sampled the song from Keni Burke the single is called Rising to the top. Him, the Mary Jane girls, and mary j blige they have my favorite samples from this masterpiece

It's crazy that 50 cent wrote this, 50s hooks always been catchy as fuck
It was Actually written by Several people, not just 50Cent. Amerie was one of them....
SoulKidVids
also the loop is a classic loop. 50 actually said they almost didnt want to release the song because the loop had been used so much before.
SoulKidVids i think he meant 50 wrote LL's verses. which is true

So much LIFE and COLOR and SOUL in this Video. Takes me to Paradise. The 90s & Early 2000s was the Golden/Silver Age when the Realm were touched by the Heavens(God) when ^Atlantis was here and when Life felt like you were in another Dimension like Heaven on Earth. Now we live in the Dark Age aka Last Days. They don't make Songs or Videos like this anymore....
The bass is on this track is everything. OMG!
I was waiting for someone to mention that! So awesome
YES...it’s fabulous.
You got good ears 👂🏿
LL Is as humble as can be. Straight down to earth !!!
I bet he is
Was this sarcastic? The man is vain as hell.
@@FreeFlow__he is humble. My mom met him a few times, she said he one of the nicest celebs she ever met and she seen alot
@@Meko_tahnah FACTS my husband know him in real life…. He is DEFINITELY humble and the way this man can show out in front of a camera you would think right!? 😂 but nah truly a humble soul
Bout as humble as crackhead stuck in church in a 4 hour seminar , on the 1st of the month.
This is a fantastic tune written by 50 for LL Cool J ❤❤
He wrote the chorus only
You saw that short too lol@@tonysuarez4445
Troll
He wrote the hook. Stoppit. 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
@@pandroidigitalStupid 50's hater haha
One of my favorite LL songs. He always shows love to the sista’s! “First I’ll get ya mind right, then I might drape ya”! Spitting straight game! Much love.
Check out his Going back to Cali video !

KING WB 😉
Hhahaha
😂😂😂😂😂😂you aint by yourself cuz
King wb i was thinking the same thing lol
LL ageless lol
I think I'm just a little too young to appreciate what he has done for the rap industry. But, by looking back it does help me see that our favorite rappers wouldn't be anything without the OG's.
I'm trying to understand how somebody could dislike this video..it's pure perfection.💯💯💯👑✨✨✨
I can hate the part where Gabrielle is barefoot and LL is wearing socks and sandals!🤦♀️🤷♀️🙆♀️
That’s why they are called haters ❗️
Cus this album was the begining of his downfall as a pure lyrical rapper and went full pop alot of people who grew up with radio started giving up on ll with this album personally this the last good album from ll for me and definition killed his legacy but i know alot of old heads who hate anything from ten to present
@@sangstergeneral3750 how they hating because they don't like a song y'all weird
It's called having a opinion
This song hits so good! Brings me back to when times were amazing
2020 sucks I'm ready to go back to these days
Amerie + Gabrielle Union = Paradise
"Paradise is very nice". LMAO.
Konstantinoff74 my favorite ladies
Konstantinoff74 and she looks like she's in heaven in this video. #dead
Scherra Rolaine dados
natural black women gotta love them..
Gabby ATE for this whole video! I miss this era of music. 🔥😍
God was speakin through LL cool J! 3rd verse holds Madddd wisdom. Vibration is the "key" Keynote to paradise.. Love is the frequency - let's ride it to freedom 💓
when b.e.t was good. 2002. no social media had to actually interact with people.
RIGHT
Yes! I miss those days.

Amerie has such a beautiful voice
“Hey girl, awwwww gurl! “ 😂 that’s my part 😂
LL really was the king of sampling older songs! x'D But he did them well tho! Think he deserves more recognition even today
Brensturrr for Sure
Golden Era 💫
Whos still listening in 2019?
This song was released on December 14, 2002, as the second single from LL Cool J's 9th studio album, 10 (2002). It also appears on the soundtrack to the 2003 film Deliver Us from Eva, in which LL Cool J stars alongside Gabrielle Union. Singer Tweet was originally slated to provide vocals but Amerie was eventually chosen instead. On the August 12, 2022 edition of The Breakfast Club, 50 Cent revealed that he ghostwritten LL’s verses on the song. "Paradise" embodies portions of Keni Burke's 1982 song "Risin' to the Top", penned by Burke, Allan Felder, and Norma Jean Wright.
Great insight
Right, I didn't even know none of that's crazy. Well, I did know about the movie Didn't know the rest though
Bruh, stop it… you copied this straight from Wikipedia. Y’all r*tarded 😂
And LL then made clear that he wrote his own verses, but 50 wrote the hook/chorus sung by Amerie. LLs verses don't sound like they were written by 50 as well so I believe him when he says he wrote them himself.
50 cent wrote amerie chorus.
LL wrote his lyrics.
❤ LL Cool J ❤ I definitely love this song ❤ I have so many favorite songs from LL Cool J that I enjoy listening to watch all of his videos ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Amazing vocals on the Hook. The sonics of this song is just fire!
50 cent did write this song for him
50 cent wrote the song
Mary J should have done the vocals
@@blackzali8061Really? Wow I didn’t know 50 cent wrote it for him
LL said 50 wrote just the hook he didn’t have anything to do with his rhymes
I always loved this beat man, so classy and breezy. Sounds like you're out on the ocean or on an island relaxing. Man this makes me nostalgic for the early 2000's so much. I miss that era.
That beat alone is the shit!
He sampled the song from Keni Burke the single is called Rising to the top. Him, the Mary Jane girls, and mary j blige they have my favorite samples from this masterpiece
Back then when music had style.
Style in clothing, great lyrics and no beats that made your ears bleed.
There was wack music to there always is

LL has soooo many bangers, and a dope, extensive song catalog! Amerie's singing the hook and Gabrielle Union's visual sexiness makes this video a legendary Hip Hop & R&B collabo.
All the brown skin glistening in this video is making me feel warm 🥰
Listen🍫🍫🍫
Yaaass🙂

BEAUTIFUL, LET US FINALLY SHINE
