"If You Don't Give A Damn, We Don't Give A F***"! The YoungBloodZ took over the 2000s with their infamous hit "Damn!" ft. Lil' Jon. Comment below how old you were when this song dropped!
19
Big facts i was 12 6 th grade radio killed it 04 05
21 Year Old out of that 3rd ward located in Uptown New Orleans
Roy Jones Jr "I Smoke I Drank" ft
Youngblood & Mr Magic(rip) was that 🔥🔥🔥 too Frfr.. Memories!!!
Ol lord i was 9 yrs old.. good Ol days
11
Their jams were played throughout my high school years
Right house and teen party classic dis for the 99 and 2000's
Same here!!! They had bangers!
Yeah I was in high wen damn was out. Really I didn't like them
Me too I was in HS when they blew up
Yep late 90's early 00's!! High school!
When He Cried About His Mom Having Dementia!!!!! I Felt That Pain... It's Nothing Like Having A Momma To Have Your Back & Support Your Dreams 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿😔
Me too my grandma had Alzheimer's. That hit me when he talked about his mom.
God Bless Mommas 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Ashley Kyra I swear I know his feelings too 😢frfr
God bless all Mom's.....RIP to my Momma ily Girl!!
I'm going through that now
the amount of hits that came out of this era is mind blowing
What! Best era 💪🏽💪🏽
Need A 2000s Snap N Crunk Tour
That's what hip hop was different era's of timeless jams, u liked the music not the life of the rapper....
That’s because it was polished. People were in competition, and it was being created by professionals. Now you can do it in your apartment, all you need is a computer and some downloaded programs from the net. I’ve been making music like that for years, still without running through the labels, the professional aspect of music is gone and therefore 90% of the music is disposable.
@@michaelbrown9009 yes we do! That is a great idea. And that’s what they should call it! Snap N Crunk tour❤️Young bloodz, Lil John & Eastside boyz , lil scrappy, crime mob, D4L, TI.
Even Ciara, she was the princess of Crunk at time!
Edit: OK yes and sleepy brown. OutKast,Bone crusher!
Seeing them healthy, humble, and grateful means alot to me. They are undeniably Atlanta legends. If I recall Tip made his first appearance in the 85 video.
Yep he's in the front seat 👍
True story, them boys look healthy and at peace
I'm the car
Facts.
T. I first video appearance was in P. A video "Sun goes Down"... He was outside the store sitting in a chair at the beginning
Whoever is working in this department at BET HQ, thank you!! The nostalgia of music from the early 2000s hits deep. Love hearing these artists talk about their rise to fame at such a young age coming from nothing and seeing the maturity of where they are now. Keep it going BET!
Jon Locke FACTS!
Jon Locke this show needs to be on BET Tv!
Exactly!!
Jon Locke yes need more of these videos
Do they have more episodes like this???
I remember when YoungBloodZ and Sean Paul were at the pinnacle of their careers and people getting both Sean Pauls confused lol
True
They both resemble and coolie alike too😁
Kredrick Smith Forreal Tho
Facttss
Lol So True😂
Anybody in their mid to late thirties remember going nuts in the club during this era??? I know I do!!!!

😘
Lil jon in the hall of fame based on pure impact during this era... we getting old yall
Agreed
Exactly. And people don't know how long he had been working on the ATL streets before he even got famous. Alot of what happened in Atl music in general is directly influenced by Lil Jon

Now we need a Finding : Unk or a Finding : Crime Mob

Crime mob already did interviews talking about what happened minus one of the guys being a child molester I believe
We need to get EVERYBODY that was the hot grits of Atlanta (and eventually the world) in the 2000s...

“Damn” still goes hard TO THIS DAY!!!

I love how he is emotional about his mom, it makes him likable and I respect his raw emotion
Even though Lil Jon’s beats sound similar he ran the game back then he gave the world crunk music 🔥🔥🔥
Hell yes, still jamming Damn, Presidential & Cadillac Pimpin in 2019!
Max Mueller u a real one
💯💯💯
Snap Ya Fingers and U-Way🔥
@@hapjoy16 Bruh they been sleeping on them since they been out smh. Young Bloodz turned UA into an anthem. However the music video for it murdered the true imagery, energy, and essence of the song. Around the mid 90s UA was such very popular slang that it was all too common speech in Atlanta. It was said any and everytime someone or something did the unbelievable and unforgettable. The timing and the way it was said you can't help but feel it. If there where crowds of people, somehow *everyone* knew *exactly* when to it say it. It's crazy!
U ain't lyinv lol
This is how many times Sean Paul said “Naw mean”
I lost count after the hundredth time in 2 mins😂
Ridiculous!
He still gangsta
That's how we do down here Naw mean????
Counted 8 by 2mins
I'm 39 and they from my era we had alot of f un gettin crunk to they music
C/O '98 in the house!!!
Oh you was grown then I can only imagine!! I’m 34 so I didn’t get to realllllly turn up yet lol
@@tamiekahollis yea we use to tear the club up lol we use to rock tall tees and throwback jerseys and du rags and air force ones
@@tamiekahollis yea security caught hell back then lol
*they’re and *their brotha. No disrespect.
Every time I watch one of these “Finding:...” docs, I always look forward to the mixes of the artists top hits in the beginning because the transitions into each are so smooth! Shoutout to the production/post team who continue to step it up each episode with the shots, editing and the talent who stories you choose to tell.
I still play Damn in 2019
That beat be bangin like a mf, one of my all time favorites!!!
Chocdeisel Monroe 💯

Chocdeisel Monroe what’s ya favorite part of the video 🤔
"They calling me, to come back to these streets its Sean P n*gga...." Automatically got cats hype

Ya feel me

*My father has it and it brings tears to my eyes, he can't remember who I am today.. And my DADDY WAS MY EVERYTHING AND STILL IS.. Love you Daddy..* 💓🤗
@@alluretrena3057 😭🤗😇
@@alluretrena3057 I'm so sorry to hear that. My grandpa has dementia too. He hasn't gotten to the point where he don't recognize us but I'm terrified of when that day will come. Also he has so many other health issues along with dementia, I'm so scared of losing him.
Yes men have to not be too brave to cry he don’t have to apologize for crying 😢 that’s some real pain right there
I have been taking care of dementia patients for years and I love my patients. I hate to see them go through that but I try my best to make sure they are happy and taken care of.
Man listen. If you were never at the club in Atlanta (circa (1999 - 2002) and standing on the couch, in VIP, with The Youngbloodz sitting in the same VIP section and they’re songs came on, you don’t know what “TURN UP” actually is. You had to be there. Incredible times. Incredible.
Yes back in the velvet room and bounce day's oh how I miss it😩💯
Club 559 , the Gate on columbia drive, and club 112 and Club Visions on friday nights thats old Atlanta
Dem was the days clubs went through new management every 3 months!! 😂😂😂
Yeah I remember when they came to St Louis they was all in the crowd wasn't scared to interact with the crowd and show so much love I respect youngbloods
@@savorreybrown3763 *_*days_** , not day's.
Their cribs episode had me DYING😂😂
Yessss lol
I'm strictly gospel now, but I still enjoy listening to them! It's great music that brings a great feeling every time I hear it!
Porchia High Right now I’m about to go listen 🤷🏽♀️

Gayle Golphin lol rapper music that was so cute lol
Their Southern accent! 😍😘💕💖
And JBo never even mentioned his cousin is Andre 3000
He look like MJG lil bro tho on the real.
I see the similarity!!!
😧😧 I neevvverr kneeeew!
Something most folks don't know
I never knew that. They do look alike.
at one point i thought Sean Paul was gonna be a solo star
he was like a Atlanta Prodigy
def shouldve went solo. he had the flow
His solo CD was garbage...
ryan anderson whats the name of it imma check it out
His verse on ak's and chevrolets with body breeze and trick daddy was 🔥🔥
@@TheCheckInReport THE NAME OF HIS SOLO ALBUM WAS CALLED HOOD ANTHEMS
Immediate like before the video even starts. Youngbloodz should still be getting recognized today n touring
Don't@me recognized for what? Screaming on their records.
@@derricknregina it's crunk music. Furthermore, I'll take that era vs now this skinny foolishness.
@@derricknregina neither one of them were screaming on their records. Both had a chill vibe over crunk beats. Lil John did all the screaming. And even that was wayyyy better than the crap you listen to now
Yes and people been asking for a crunk south version of the millinuem tour ! I would pay money to see them crime mob lil jon Nivea and Ciara is she would be up for it
@@derricknregina you're a idiot, Youngbloodz didn't yell in their music FOH with your hating💯
Sean Paul was in the Donnell Jones“Know what’s up” video.
Him and T.I.
Big Boi too! ALL of LaFace was in that room scene with the stripper. 😎👌🏽
Man these guys will always be legends. Till this day I will bump "Damn" to get the party jumping..I remember one show they had done in S.C. and they allowed me and my homie to get up on stage and perform their song Damn to the crowd.. Now if they ain't showing love what is..Preciate the memory
“Damn” is forever timeless!
What about Rickey Smiley stand up talking about Stan The Guitar Man
Peace Of Mind it’s still in my playlist
Lana C Yes Indeed!
We need a Crunk Tour..make it happen please..lol
Girl yassss.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@dmoore301 Damn! You beat me to it 😂
Dave Chappelle as Lil Jon: "They calling me!"
This *"Finding"* series on BET is the best thing smokin' !!
'99-'06 was a golden era in ATL. Crunk muzik was in heavy rotation in the club and on the radio. Young Bloodz solidified their spot in the game.
More like 95 but agreed
@@atate23 Yes sir, you're right. Can't forget about the booty shakin' bass music era. It transitioned to crunk around 98-99.
Too young to recall distinction btwn the divergence
New Orleans and Baton Rouge also. Don't forget about Cash money records taking over for the 99 and the 2000.
These guys should have been bigger!
eric archer if they woukda beent frm dis era iza wrap mayne!!!
Why? These cats had no talent. They damn sure couldn't rap
@@derricknregina foh
Yes but they probably didn't sell out to the elite
@@derricknregina you buggin shawty
The clap in “damn” is the crispest I’ve ever heard
Real deal
I always thought Sean P had the potential to be one of the top tier rappers from Atlanta along with T.I, Ludacris, Jeezy.
I miss the era of groups Outkast, Ying-Yang Twins, YoungBloodz, NWA, TLC, Xscape, Destiny's Child, B2K.
And 106 and park with aj and free😔 damn i wish i could go back to it all. Happy holidays 💕
Say it again
I remember where I was when What’s Happnin first came out...I miss those day’s!
🙌 Yes
DFB? D4L? 8Ball/MJG? Cadillac Don & JMoney? Crime Mob? Cherish lol?
Graduated in 05 and this ying yang and lil Jon was all over every box at every party.
We gettin old
Same here..it was mando in Cali at house parties.
This is the exact kind of content BET should be making. Love it.
My momma got dementia too,
But on another note, its December 2019, I still jam "damn" "Cadillac pimpin" " presidential"
