Steve Briggins no no I know, but I mean mainstream success. Sure he probably doesn't care because he's making money regardless if its in the public eye. But I really did like his music and artistry and he kinda fell from the scene of making his own music and not just song writing. After I saw the making of the song "Addiction" and how much musical genius the man had I was pretty excited to hear more from him, but he hasn't made music in a few years I believe
+Ty Douglas R Les created his own sound. I see a certain higher value in the music he creates. His music is true genius and aint that commercial crap, and that's why he didn't blow up. It's only intended for the real music listeners not the pop market.
@shawndon7374 I was about to say the same thing cause I was in middle school around that time and my friends and I had this on MySpace. That's how old this song is lol
I don't know about If she would have gotten bigger in this industry. But I know she would never got ran through it the way The way that she did she did if she would have stayed with Ryan. Or just never chose puffy at all.
I'm definitely feeling you on that comment.As a musician,the 90s rnb was so beautifully composed from the vocal arrangement with the rnb groups and music in general.This was cool,but you can't compare this to the 90s still.
Y'all don't know but this nigga has mad talent. Look it up. He plays instruments makes all his own beats writes all his own music has good education and he can sing and rap. And that's probably not all
Ryan leslie should have been one of the biggest producers in the game. He plays every instrument, sings and do beats. Wtf !!! Only kanye can nearly do all that
Imagine if tik tok was released during his time he would have blown differently. However with his natural entrepernerial skills he had smashed the game but behind the scenes! Which for one makes me respect him and his achievement much more than some rappers etc
This sound will be missed, I was about 8 or 9, I'm glad to have grown up in this era, the mid-late 2000s were my early school years and an experimental edgy time. 🤙🏽
Why was Cassie never in this video? Best production on a track of this era hands down, still on repeat 500 years later. Ryan Les man. He should have been BIG 🙌🏼
I'm a medical student and as I "speak", I'm preparing for my exams, particularly studying 'Drugs used to manage Addictions' and guess what? This song popped up in my mind while studying😅.... Today is 13 years after its release☺ A Gem❤
First time hearing this song and it’s actually good! Such a shame more music of Cassie and other artists never got to be heard or came out because of Diddy or the industry getting them blackballed 🤦🏻♀️
Who is listening? 04 May 2024
5/22/24 ☝🏾
May /22/2024 also here after the Diddy 🤷🏿♂️

I'm actually pretty annoyed Ryan Leslie never blew up like he should have, he's really talented
He's a producer and song writer him , Neyo and Keri hilson been relevant way before they blew up with their own hit singles

Ikr. It really bothers me that he didn't blow up. He is so talented and i loved his music.

I agree
Cassie voice sounded so much better alongside Ryan’s productions. His tracks brought her smoothness to the forefront
I swear I only want a second album from her if it's just him & her... They were clearly in love.. ❤
Yes,absolutely
@@KeyWatsShe has a second album Rock A Bye Baby and it’s a classic no skips
@@ashantej7484 That was only a MIXTAPE.. 😆 🤣
If she'd stayed under his guidance, she'd be the star she wanted. But Diddy was just too huge to resist.
Who else still bumpin to this masterpiece in 2024?
And I just remembered it so randomly like heyyyy what’s that song again? 😂😂😂
Tiny Desk brought me back 26/07/24 R-Les Nostalgia!
This song is almost 13 years old and still sounds brand new 🔥
Beat is ahead of its time
Real Talk 🔥🔥🔥🤞🏽
This song is from 07 so it's old enough to throw it's own sweet 16. Dang time really does fly.
Wonder why, probably something to do with mr combs! 🙄
@shawndon7374 I was about to say the same thing cause I was in middle school around that time and my friends and I had this on MySpace. That's how old this song is lol
RYAN LESLIE CREATING THIS BEAT IS ONE OF THE GREATEST VIDEOS IVE EVER SEEN OF AN ARTIST.
Yesss! I've watched that video over and over... A genius at work 🙌🏾
Big facts
Ever point blank period
Straight from the Tiny Desk
Cassie should of never left Ryan Leslie. Their chemistry was perfect. Puff messed that up. She could of been so much bigger without Puff.
So true!!
Everything happens for a reason
PREACH!!!
Yes, She messed up😢
I don't know about If she would have gotten bigger in this industry. But I know she would never got ran through it the way The way that she did she did if she would have stayed with Ryan. Or just never chose puffy at all.
One of the few producers who could drop gems without sampling
Brandon Yes exceptional. This is real talent and the music industry usually smothers this kind of talent.
This sampled “can’t help it” by Michael Jackson lmao
Agreed!
@@lamaramy4477 : That song was written by the wondrous. . . . .Stevie Wonder.
@@cocoafemme47
Double irony ❤❤
Puffy was threatened and blackballed this man into obscurity but karma is making it right now. Ryan is an amazing composer.
So true
Very true. Also remember Ryan and Cassie were together before she left him for the “Bad Boy”!
@@SirCT oh shit i didnt know that
Probably
This song still bangs today. The production on this is crazy.
Who's still bumping this in 2019? 🙋🏾♀️
2020 then
*2021*
*We made it, everyone!!* *Happy 2022*
*WELCOME 2023*
Mua
I 😜
😉
I am now! I clean on forgotten about this song and Ryan Leslie! 🙌
All day son!
Diddy will pay for his crimes!! He’s the reason Ryan never blew up
I totally agree.
Couldnt agree more
For real? What's the scoop?🤔
He is good but not made for clubs. There, this is why he didn't blow up. Not some stupid conspiracy theory!
This man is top 5 most talented artist hip hop has ever had. His music is such a breathe of fresh air
Thats a fact but you know who had a hand in making sure he didn't get as big as he did?? Dirty Diddy
I won’t lie. This was my ring tone on the blackberry.
Meee toooo.
this guy is seriously underrated #dope
I know thats right
He's more of a ghost writer/ producer
He graduated from Harvard
He’s really the person Diddy wants to be & that’s it
I agree
Who’s banging this in 2020?
Still here 2020
Timeless production.
All En Da Family: 7/4/20; I'm on this!! And...this is NOT the first time for this year that I'm jammin' 2 dis!!. . .8/21/21✔✔✔Still....A BANGER👏👏👏.
in 2020 yeah
Me
Cassies voice on this golden
One of the best songs from the golden RnB years!
Marieta Dimitrova the Ryan Leslie is boss my favority songs
Marieta Dimitrova Gold? You must be drunk!
Golden? This wasn't made in the 90s lol
The 00's are the golden era for me personally
I'm definitely feeling you on that comment.As a musician,the 90s rnb was so beautifully composed from the vocal arrangement with the rnb groups and music in general.This was cool,but you can't compare this to the 90s still.
This song has been on my playlist for 13 years straight. Ryan is so talent!
I hope NOW. that they taking diddy dumb ass down that maybe there is a chance is can revive his career. I always loved his sound.
Ryan Leslie, Cassie and Fabolous ... 🎉 .. this is a masterpiece
fire music but they played him cuz he look like a incel 😱
I haven't heard this in a while. I just heard this song on the radio it's definitely in my playlist now. Ryan is very talented.
Y'all don't know but this nigga has mad talent. Look it up. He plays instruments makes all his own beats writes all his own music has good education and he can sing and rap. And that's probably not all
R Les is a beast! I agree with those that say he's underrated! He's an extremely gifted producer and musician!!!
One of the greatest.
This album by Ryan Leslie was 🔥 the whole thing
Ahead of time
We need this music back ASAP. 2023. Today's r&b sucks
back when blackberry phones was poppin lol
lol
damn!!!
Right 😂😭
Definitely had one!
Mally Umansky ok I had a bright red one and the cranberry red one
Ryan Leslie and Cassie need to get back in that studio and make more dope songs like this and songs from Cassie's debut album
Arlene Del Bull yesssssssss!!!
That will never happens because Cassie left a. Leslie for puff daddy
She’ll never, he’s the one that exposed her nudes.
Even if they don't play them on the radio, I'll be on CZcams listening
@@djdeznyc then left Diddy for the trainer
Ryan leslie should have been one of the biggest producers in the game. He plays every instrument, sings and do beats. Wtf !!! Only kanye can nearly do all that
Not to mention he graduated from Harvard at 19
Going down the rabbit hole with this Diddy stuff and goddamn 😮😢
June 2024 anyone?
Yup! Just watch his Forbes interview 😅
Yeeeeesssss🎉
July 2024
this beat sick
Damn Fab killed that verse
She's not even in the video...notice...that's control from the jump
Exactly!
ryan leslie is so under rated...dude is on point...
Songs like this expose the industry. He was definitely blackballed and I lost respect for alot people over his situation😢
Diddy did it👁👁He was jealous of his talent and stole Cassie from him
Imagine if tik tok was released during his time he would have blown differently. However with his natural entrepernerial skills he had smashed the game but behind the scenes! Which for one makes me respect him and his achievement much more than some rappers etc
This song could still blow up on TiKToK low key. A lot of old songs do.
It only needs one person to make a video or dance to it and it's 💣 💥
if ppl used it like Kyla water, it would.
What happened to this type of r&b? This was legit
If ryan leslie never loses that laptop he probably ends up being one of the biggest producers/artist for his decade
I missssssss these types of songs omg I wanna cry
Who here after the news of Cassie & Diddy?
So great to see people listening to this in 2019 🥰🥰🥰
This song brings me that nostalgic feeling....November 2019 still showing love!
Dam this a throwback definitely a classic ... Remember when this first came out in 09 still my shit
This Came Out in '08 i was 4 at that time
This sound will be missed, I was about 8 or 9, I'm glad to have grown up in this era, the mid-late 2000s were my early school years and an experimental edgy time. 🤙🏽
The amount of times that I played this song!!! One of my favorite songs of all time.
13 years later and this song is still the shit ❤
Still Addicted to this song in 2018
Im still addicted to this song- September 2023🎉🎉🎉
❤🎉2024🎉❤
Diddy is evil, keep doing good Ryan
Was listening to this on satellite radio for the first time in years never knowing who the female was. Cassie made the song for me!
Still jamming to the whole album 2021!!!!! True talent and good music will never fade!
even jamming it in 2022!! praise
I'm here 10 years later, I love you Ryan Leslie ❤❤🥰🥰🥰
Me too
❤ForeverRrrr L❤ve Ryan❤
2008 = best year
See Cassie the grass wasnt greener with Puff huh???
i wish cassie was in this video..
She would've been but she was...too .very young looking.....
It is Cassie you are too young to notice they were a cpl at the time
She’s right in ya face lol
Shawn Meade well I’m 29 n that is NOT Cassie in this video at all.
Diddy snatched her up from Ryan around this time that's prolly why she ain't in it
Why was Cassie never in this video? Best production on a track of this era hands down, still on repeat 500 years later. Ryan Les man. He should have been BIG 🙌🏼
She left him and signed to Diddy.
I’m here after the Tiny Desk Concert! July 2024. 🎵 ❤
2023 and still listening to your stuff.. one of the most underrated artists ever!!
I'm mad this song doesn't have more views. it's is incredibly well done. beats lyrics hook everything
DONT TELL ME HATING AS DIDDY DIDNT WANT CASSIE IN THIS MUSIC VIDEO, CUZ OF JEALOUSY
Correct and true
2022!
I'm a medical student and as I "speak", I'm preparing for my exams, particularly studying 'Drugs used to manage Addictions' and guess what? This song popped up in my mind while studying😅....
Today is 13 years after its release☺ A Gem❤
Ryan Leslie is a very talented man. Respect to him forever. 🙏🏾 #2019
The really skinny girl is Jazline from "America's Next Top Model" like 2005! She was one of my faves!
This man made the craziest beat in fucking R&B and hip hop history idgaf. HISTORY
2019 R & B will never be like this , Miss these classic hits
Damn. Fab always murders every fucking track he hops on.
His word play on addiction is so on point.
First time hearing this song and it’s actually good! Such a shame more music of Cassie and other artists never got to be heard or came out because of Diddy or the industry getting them blackballed 🤦🏻♀️
10th August 2024, Zambia was here 🇿🇲 ❤

This songs hits differently…… it’s something about the beat ..

After loosing that labtop his music was never the same again.
That was a damn shame
