Best of Sammie: goo.gl/g336vM Subscribe here: goo.gl/ZLFpos Music Video "Hard Ball" by Sammie, Bow Wow, Lil Zane, Lil Wayne. (c)2001 SoSo Def Recordings.
Jermaine Dupri was one of the most versatile producer ever. He could make stuff for the kids like this, Kris Kross and Bow Wow's earlier shit etc. And than turn around and drop shit for teens like Da Brat's first LP and Dem Franchize Boyz, and than turn back around and drop shit for adults like that Jay Z banger, and Mariah Carey. Definitely one of the best and most underrated hip hop producers of all time
Every song Zane was on he killed it. Sammie was bae back then. Seeing all these legendary kids together in one video was like Heaven for us back in the day when we were kids/teens 😂
@@russcatt5952 yea lol cause wasn't nobody checking for my fellow choc bruva a few years ago hell even a few months ago now all of a sudden since he showed Florida ass at versus now dats bae now lmao that's the story of my life also y'all didn't want me wen I was a lil skinny black ass kid but now that I'm grown and filled all up now I'm SEXY I'm SO SEXY NOW LMAO u women are sooooo fucked up lol naw don't try and get da chocolate now lmao its gonna melt away from u 😂😂🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️ #SHIIIID
@@kayree6159 Not necessarily. She did write for him but JD and TI wrote the majority. You can hear TI’s flow in a lot of his early songs. People forget he was signed to SoSoDef early on…
Decades later and this beat still gives me chills! SN: lil Zane had the sickest verse HANDS DOWN! When I was like 10 I couldn't recognize that but he definitely deserves his props
Despite where he's at now in life and regardless of what y'all gotta say about him, bow-wow's prime should literally be put in a museum and in school books from this point foward 💯 y'all just don't understand man y'all just had to have been there and on the second note damn we getting old y'all 😢🙏🏿 #LifeIsFullOfChanges
Bow wow Definitely ate his verse up , that shit was just riding! And Shai looks exactly like him! This was definitely the good old days! Sammie had the perfect voice made for this song #ForeverAClassic
The nigga bow wow a legend. I don’t care if he do corny shit or don’t as much money & clout no more. He executed everything & bought the bag in for a lot of people at a young age (hence why he’s not as rich. Bad contracts). And lastly he’s a legend because his confidence. It takes a lot to do what he did even if he didn’t write his own rhymes
@@domdom2215 but they didn’t want go down that rabbit hole in the industry they didn’t sell out like the rest of them and for that we people see that and respect that I like that cause I wouldn’t sell out either!
@@dominicchester0328 that'd true. I know now they are independent artist and stuff but I wish everyone on this tour had more success in that time frame they were good. But yes I agree with you.
@Jhc I'm talking about the movies. The Avengers were kind of a lame Justice League knockoff before the MCU made em popular. I still remember that lame cartoon from the 90s 😂
@@joemomma6317 Yes. They were created three years before the Avengers. The people at Marvel even said in documentaries that they thought it would be a good idea to make their version of the Justice League
Bow Wow was meant to be the best rapper in the 2010s-2020s maaaannnn he had it ALL.. when I watched this as a kid I never thought Wayne would be him but I ain’t complaining lol
Lil Zane man I remember he performed at my High School back in 2001. I was a Sophomore he was up there for a Celebrity Basketball Game with Fredro Starr✅Man how time Flys Shout out to Class of 2003❤️✌🏾

You got that right
Whoever wrote this verse for Bow Wow needs major credit because Bow Wow snapped on this , so did Sammie
DaBrat wrote majority of his shit
@@kayree6159

Sounding like Tupac

Holden Johnson He did!
Idc what nobody says 21 years later this still jams.
Dame life was good when hardball came out in theaters ...🤦🏾♂️

15 and not a care in the world!
Wayne was the only one allowed to stay out after dark
Nico Reveco LOL haha but Zane was old too he was with 112
Lil Zane is older than lil Wayne
Lol
zhane and Wayne were the same age
😂😂😂
The chorus alone makes this song
BlackMamba _1990 Word! The chorus is everything in this song!
For real the chorus and I know y’all dont like it but now wow par was the best
The best part of the song!
Zane was fire ! Wayne brought the song to a street feel at the end!! Forgot all about all this kids when Wayne started rapping..

Damn, rap has changed a lot in 18 years, I wish other kids my age would understand what makes lyrical rap so good.
I feel the rappers and hip hop are not the same. It doesn’t matter if you can freestyle also long you sell music.
For real I can't imagine a hip hop song for a baseball movie that would sound as good as this...
Lil zane gave this the best verse of his career
The best verse Lil Zane did was on 112's song "Anywhere"
Virgil George facts
Nah he got busy on money stretch
Uchiha Sendo “see we all got a base & we hold our own but when i come up to bat we gon all go home”.........sheesh
Naw bruh ways of the world by him was showing off pure lyricism
Sammie really is an amazing artist his music is dope and his voice is beautiful
Sammie and bow wow killed it. Love the hook and his raps.Still listing to this in 2022
Either jd or snoop wrote it usually its them on credits
We get it !!!! How many times y’all gotta say shit we alr know ?!
Bow is a legend and Bow was born with musical talent.
He didnt write none of his child hood music
@@supremevictory4310 And Bow Wow is definitely not a legend😒
Well he is a legend has multiple hits... and i bet if someone writes you some music you wouldnt have the same flow like he does. And thats talent
@@glenbertpeterson922 Lmao😂 Bow Wow is not a legend. Not even close to one.
@@supremevictory4310 JD wrote Bow's childhood lyrics because Bow wrote songs that sounded like Snoop Dogg songs with curse words. 🤷🏽♂️
this movie and song is a classic... back when music made sense and had meanings....#imisstheolddays
aversatilenaturallady u and me both
#TrueStory
Yes
True that sis!
“When I step to the plate the out field gets back because they know I’m the over the wall type of dog” That was fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Never appreciated lil Z's verse younger, now it's everything
All the "Lil" rappers on the same song..miss them days when everybody had their own flow/style
💯💯
Well except for Lil Romeo
@@bilialeilan9038 Wayne and Bow Wow didn't rock with Romeo.
The lil homie on the chorus has a smooth ass voice
He's a great singer. Sammie all grown up.
That's what I always said! Sammie!
MillenniumTour2020 come see about our boy Sammie
That's young Sammie before he grew up Sammie been making music since he was a kid just like Bow Wow, and Romeo!!
Wayne and bow wow legends
Bow wow and lil wayne was my favorite!😘
Don’t Act Like Lil Bow Wow And Lil Zane didn’t kill this track. Straight murdered it
When Sammy Sosa was Black, and rap was fun. 😢
Right
He’s not black any more?
Daniel Camilleri - No 😩😓
I thought he was DR
Soni J what you said 😩
Sammie never fell off. He chose to live to be a normal kid with a normal life & not get sucked in the bad side of music industry
Facts I love and respect him for that..
He did fall off..he didn't make.musoc for yearsss..he should've did more as well as Lloyd they have amazing voices lol

Lil Zane was actually dope rapper....he's a joke to people now but he was never wack.
Lil zane was really good
Exactly. Kids today dont realize how he got clowned for just disappearing
I thought he bacame a christian rapper after he played in the movie fighting temptations
I'm a fan of Zane I still play his CD
i felt like nelly stole his flow n swag
Everybody went in, Sammie and Bow Wow set it off though.
Yes Sammie went in made the song….Bow wow was a good opening act…set the scene for Zane to do his thing and then Wayne annihilated the track…..
My generation was everything! 😍😍😍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Man back when this came out it was like THE Avengers assembling before that was even a thing.
