Thanks for that. The track has definitely grown on me. Would be curious to hear more Juvenile. (dad)

2025-06-29 06:44:07 +0000 UTCI know I’m late but I love binge watching your videos. So as far as understanding the song Ha from Juvenile, it’s really just about normal random topics from people that live in the projects. Some people brag and they’re lying as if you might believe them like when he said “you paid 70 for your Benz ha, that ain’t yours that’s your friends ha” it’s like calling him out. It’s really just a fun song with no meaning but it has the “bounce” music feel which is a staple in New Orleans.

2025-02-26 07:44:12 +0000 UTCHi this is my first time posting on here so I am probably not in the right area. My apologies if I am not. I would just like to request if you both could either listen and react to the group “Camp Lo” The track I am requesting that you listen to is “Luchini AKA This Is It”. They were so underrated, but I think you might enjoy their music. Some think Jay-Z stole Camp Lo’s style. I would love to hear your thoughts!

2025-02-25 13:06:47 +0000 UTCPC 55: Hello Erykah Badu ft Andre 3000 (One of my favorite rap features on any song) EDIT: If you’ve already heard ‘Hello’.. ‘I Want You Back’ by Infinity Song (sibling group signed by Jay Z)
Precious
2025-02-25 06:05:44 +0000 UTCIn response to Dad’s comment about rap features, there has definitely been criticism around rb or pop music with rap features that do not seem to add any value to the song. Nicki Minaj, Kayne West and Andre 3000 were hip hop artist that imo would always elevate a pop/rb song with their rap feature.
Precious
2025-02-25 06:01:20 +0000 UTCI think context is missing for those who don't really 'get' that song! It was the debut of Beyonce as a super sexy solo artist AND the 1st time we saw them as a confirmed couple! 2 young superstars officially off the market could have been viewed as 'bad biz' to their respective fans but they were SO HOT together that we couldn't be mad lol! I think they both garnered some crossover fans from this (judging from every male confirmed hip-hop head I knew that was all of a sudden Beyonce fans)!!

Felicia Wiggins
2025-02-25 03:56:21 +0000 UTCKendrick did a Juvenile Ha flow/sample on his song "Element" off his album "Damn." Juveniles music has aged nicely. You hear his flow and samples all the time in songs

2025-02-24 17:05:41 +0000 UTCOpen theme suggestion: Kehlani Ft Destin Conrad & CHILDOFNINES - Form of You. Beautiful song that may make dad emotional lol. I don’t think I’ve seen a Kehlani reaction yet so this would be a great introduction!

2025-02-24 04:16:42 +0000 UTCWow it’s really interesting to see the crazy in love video after not having watched it in years because I’m noticing how much it’s been reference by more modern artists. Dad might prefer Deja Vu if you guys do videos again. It’s another Jay Z collab but it has one of my favorite bridges. Funnily enough the las time I heard Grace Joes was on Beyonces 2022 Renaissance album. She’s featured on a song called Move. I also heard her on a Gorrilaz song called Charger not too long ago

2025-02-24 00:14:31 +0000 UTCSo fire! Thanks for letting me know - I still haven't sorted out their names
The FrontRoom
2025-02-23 20:28:43 +0000 UTCI totally agree (Kai)
The FrontRoom
2025-02-23 20:28:11 +0000 UTCCool Breeze ft OutKast & Goodie Mobb- Watch For The Hook. Also if you’re into Juvenile his hit song Back That Thang Up is equal parts fun, silly, and catchy lol. Videos are necessary for the visuals and full effect of those two songs I’d say
Drea Lansiquot
2025-02-23 19:49:53 +0000 UTCPlease do more videos and include En Vogue’s My Lovin’ (You’re Never Gonna Get It) & their song Giving Him Something He Can Feel, also Free Your Mind; Toni Braxton’s Another Sad Love Song & another banger of hers called Breathe Again. These videos just give you a feel for the artists’ charm as well as a feel for the times, the 90’s. Lauryn Hill-Everything is Everything was an interesting,m. Digable Planets-Rebirth of Slick( Cool Like That) was just cool vibes
Drea Lansiquot
2025-02-23 18:25:28 +0000 UTCAgreed! Think he would love Lemonade too
Emily
2025-02-23 14:37:20 +0000 UTCPC 55 suggestion: De La Soul - Pain ft. Snoop Dogg - the video is quite intesting from a social corporate political angle
JM
2025-02-23 13:42:45 +0000 UTCPops, I'm with you on your Crazy in Love analysis. It actually got the reaction I expected from you 😅 I think Deja Vu would give you what this one didn't 😉
Brittany Butler
2025-02-23 03:28:47 +0000 UTCPC 55 suggestion: Shine - Lil Wayne and Hot Boyz. Recommend the video.
Aaisha
2025-02-23 02:34:25 +0000 UTCLet me find out Kai is Beyhive!!! Crazy in love was innovative pop in 03. It’s been copied so much that it’s not a fair representation of Beyonce anymore. She actually wanted to be more Neo Soul/funk.
Nolly Thando
2025-02-23 01:59:54 +0000 UTCKai, that’s krayzie bone. I agree, this is one of the best bone thugs song and eazy e’s verse is awesome.
Gary Domingos
2025-02-23 01:04:46 +0000 UTCNot a bad idea to do a watch or listen of Bone and those iconic features (Easy, Biggie, Tupac)

2025-02-23 00:54:24 +0000 UTCI got to meet them once…although they were a lil high. 😂

Jiminy
2025-02-22 22:29:06 +0000 UTCI agree with Dad about Beyoncé. The song is cool in certain situations, but it’s almost like they were trying too hard to be spectacular. It doesn’t do it for me either. 🤷🏽♀️😂🤣
Jen M
2025-02-22 22:04:25 +0000 UTCThanks, Alona. I had heard that term before but didn’t have any idea of what it referred to. Just checked out Wikipedia’s article. Very eye opening and disconcerting. (dad)

2025-02-22 19:08:44 +0000 UTCPC55: Metric - Black Sheep They are probably the most successful indie rock band to come out of Canada. Their lead singer has a very nice and distinct voice.
Bdawg
2025-02-22 18:59:04 +0000 UTCYES!
Carla Davis
2025-02-22 18:54:32 +0000 UTCLove the reactions and discussions! Learned a lot from Kai's knowledge. Not to get too dark but the image of the champagne on the butt in Grace Jones' video possibly references the historical dehuminization of black women's bodies, most notably the South African Hottentot Venus, actual name Saartjie Baartman who was paraded and put on display around Europe because of her larger behind. They even preserved the features upon her death and left them up for display for 100 years. Instead of champagne, cartoons were drawn of her with a white baby sitting on her backside. The backlash about Kim Kardashian was probably due to the insensitivity of this type of history and exploitation of black women's bodies.
Alona L
2025-02-22 18:36:07 +0000 UTCIt’s very accusatory ha?! 🤣
Sovieski Perez
2025-02-22 18:18:06 +0000 UTCI agree, but while the more upbeat songs don't showcase his voice as much, they are just infectious! "Any Love" and "Bad Boy" are a couple of my faves.

2025-02-22 15:48:47 +0000 UTCSlave to the Rhythm was directed by Jean-Paul Goude, Jones' boyfriend at the time and features a spoken voice-over from actor Ian McShane, It mixes un used footage from some of her music videos, tv commercials they made together and concert footage. Oh and the style of music is a type of GoGo Music thats popular in DC

Robin
2025-02-22 14:27:54 +0000 UTCGlad y'all both enjoyed the video and song. I think replacing "Ha" with "Eh" might make the lyrics a bit more relatable lol.

Desertbutterfly78
2025-02-22 09:56:10 +0000 UTCAlso, I think your dad would appreciate Beyoncé’s more recent stuff—her musicality has evolved so much, and her voice has really matured. Would love to see a reaction to one of her trilogy albums: Renaissance (Dance/House), Cowboy Carter (Country), or Act III (rumored to be Rock, not out yet)
CHILO
2025-02-22 09:28:57 +0000 UTCFor next week, I recommend Jhené Aiko’s Drinking and Driving from Saint Heron. It’s a compilation album Solange put out through her label, Saint Records, featuring a bunch of alt-R&B artists she felt deserved more recognition at the time. Love the reactions 🩶
