@ianjerome6502

@vincentpaternoster7842

We didn’t realize how good we had it being teens in the 2000s. Great time for music. When hard rappers collaborated with R&B artists for the hooks

@TysonLambert

@rugerrell308

Mannnn I miss these days swear whenever I get to drinkin I play all these classics need a time machine I was 18 when this dropped had it as my ringtone for my lil shawty at the time

@diamond53919

Omg yes! Best music is from the 2000s! Today’s music sucks.

@cherrelleroberts2629

That part

@xEle360x

lowkey rappers singing they own hooks kinda screwed the game up for the ACTUAL R&B singers. Thats why you dont have many proper R&B artist popping anymore
