Pras featuring Mya & Ol' Dirty Bastard "Ghetto Superstar"

[edensthename1]

xfactor australia brought me here.....

[scarface82us]

... and 14 years later, I'm still in love with Mya... Damn!

[ceidigal]

I was born when this was no.1 :')

[ilNelesli]

only here for ODB..

[miss1990ization]

i think this is the other side of what obama feels if he ever rapped but it was a very old hit but we do now have a black president

[cs2cl]

okay so nobody notice halle berry lol

[zxzrp0]

@cs2cl Thats all you noticed? There is subliminal imagery and lyrics in the video. It starts off as a presidental candidate campaign who ends up being a black guy becoming the president then rushed by the secret service to the elevator. The ring and hand gestures are symbolic i believe. Listen to the content of the lyrics, theres a deeper meaning especiall ODB's last part "Man I'm paranoid day by day wondering the consequence of the things I say". but never mind, back to halle berry lol

[DaBoiJR]

At the 2:57 mark thats the same beat that Weeknd uses in The Birds 2!!!!

[romanwawa]

nananananana

[musicalmaster12]

I love and respect all kind of music and artists, music is what brings people together and music if what gets up through are days

[musicalmaster12]

sampling... Like fruitloops? piecing together individual instrument sounds one measurement at a time? All from a computer? I dig this song brings back alot of memories. So if one plays a or many instruments is there no talent in that either?

[musicalmaster12]

@Capsizedrecords "Islands in the stream" wrote by the beegees, dolly parton and kenny rodgers were the ones to preform it and make it popular,

[FourthOsprey]

My TI played this all the time in basic training and got in our asses anytime we showed any emotion to the music haha. He did it just to be a prick. You can't not listen to music for a month and half and hear this fat ass jam and not fuckin respond to it.

[musicalmaster12]

@ Graffiti732 gotcha, thanks for the lesson, its very creative

[ronindebeatrice]

Mya made quite the impression on my 16 year old self...

[musicalmaster12]

@kiftromanic I put a 12 after the music master cause I play a 12string guitar, I had the choice of no numbers or even number 1

[sicapat1]

i prefer islands in the stream over this ripout version of it. It is funny that these rappers rip off the bee gees, even though kenny rogers and dolly partons version is the best

[surveyorsjs9088]

Amazing Music even to be listening @ 2012 - End of the World according to the Mayan!

[mauiwowismoker]

i thought she said your a superstar

[BrocxMalaak]

My friend put this on a mixtape for me back when they were actual cassette tapes. Reminds me of happier times.

[myflamesbringyoudown]

@kiftromaniac fuckin right this shit is good as FUCK

[pusssssyyyyyy]

first time i saw this i was so amazed by mya's apron shirt!

[Leftysfive93]

Kickass song. Mya is still very hot.

[theonetense]

RIP



[musicalmaster12]

They stole this melody from dolly parton, can't you guys create something on your own.

[graffiti732]

@musicalmaster12 its called sampleling numbnuts

[CapsizedRecords]

@musicalmaster12 which song from Dolly Parton?

[MegaMagicExpert]

@musicalmaster12 Stole the melody, pretty rich seeing as it looks like you stole the name musicalmaster from the 11 people before you. Fucking boner.

[KIFTROMANIAC]

@musicalmaster12 THAT'S NOT STEALING YOU STUPID IDIOT;THAT'S CALLED SAMPLING,AND IT TAKES A SAMPLER AND A LOT OF TALENT TO DO SO.

[DezAVL]

Kick your balls like Pele :D

[phishfoood]

The only good thing about this is Mya. I feel so conflicted whenever I hear this, its 50/50 between listening to Mya and not listening to everyone else.

[daveyk8]

what ever happened to Mya? she was hot lol

[bekki408]

@daveyk8 Chicago happened.

[Haukenslush]

Ear Orgasm Music

[hoorayforjesus]

Just letting you kiddies know that everyone used to shit on this song as garbage mainstream pop, trying to compare it to Illmatic, Ready to Die, etc when it came out.

[CoolConejo]

[withered962]

These songs are classic... I miss the good ol' days when rap was actually good. What the fuck happened hiphop? Same with rock, everything lost all meaning, now everyone is heading to dubstep. Sigh, SLOW THE FUCK DOWN SOCIETY... YOU'RE MOVING TO FAST!

[MizzYungMacMar]

I used to sing the hell out of this when I was little!

[KiNGxKG]

Doesnt this seem like the most random collabo ever??? One of the best songs ever tho

[Walkbyfaith210]

[libbyabbott1998]

[52dcboon]

@libbyabbott1998 she was in the movie that this song is from, called 'Bullworth'

[christinasaccente]

@libbyabbott1998

Halle Berry was in the movie.

[crazymoo56]

Real music, unlike the robot voices on the radio nowadays...

[GreeanMarijuana]

@crazymoo56 I heard it in the radio today ... lol

[ratm239]

@crazymoo56 god you're an idiot, and before you accuse me of listening to Justin Beiber and Miley Cyrus, I will just say I don't.

[CutePuppy666]

@crazymoo56 No one puts any effort into music nowadays. :( They just write 2 lines and repeat.

[picketstotitsburgh]

My baby book told me this was my favorite song as a baby LOL

[wheelbezerks]

stricking with the forces of King Salamon.... loved this song back in the day! lol

[CoolConejo]

@Bhagawann " They " already knew it was going to happen, see. When your very very very rich, You get passed down privileged knowledge. But always at a price im sure. Omg,,,all a conspiracy! ahhh.

[getwallz]

Nothing modern can beat the feel of this song. Mya's voice goes perfect with it and lastly you can't beat a beat with ol dirty bastard.

[dlund92]

talk about a throwback jam

[cod4lfe]

will smith at 2:20?

[silentslip]

@cod4lfe Nope.

[Budaphly]

Is it just me, or was this song the epitome of hip hop and r&b in the late 90s? 

[krickos1]

@Budaphly I agree, even as a selective rap/h&h/r&b listner this one is a classic in my book any day

[L3nurd]

I still listen to this track every day !

[mario64reigh]

[zisforziggens]

REFUGEEESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!.

[sireeatalot]

OLLLLLLL SCHOOOOOOOOO!!!

[takerukari]

@MegaSuperDuchbag

And autotune @.@.......

[OnlineHipHopTV]

@MegaSuperDuchbag true that

[skeetvvideos]

RIP ODB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[noodles41]

damn, I miss the '90s.

[MyDiabollo]

This song is all about me.All ghetto's star i am.

[vipereyes96]

can i watch one video without someone having to mention they "good old days"?

if music really was that bad, it would've died long ago. and really, we wouldn't appreciate that music if it were to stay like this for eternity.

did that ever occur to anyone?

[reinajalana]

@vipereyes96 the first part of your statement I would say is invalid - there are many bad things that never die - like crime.. just because something's always around doesn't mean it's gonna always be good or at its best

[vipereyes96]

@reinajalana

my point is, it's not the 90's anymore. all we can do is look back and appreciate what we had. I'm a kid of the 90's so I hear what everyone is saying. I'm just saying ranting and raving on how we miss this type of music isn't helping

[1nfamous87]

97' Dam... I was only 9 still till this day fuken badass song

[theman1819]

RIP ODB

[kljmac93]

This song was playing in the hospital when I was born... AWESOME!

[qthangoe]

2:24 X-factor was born :p

[MrLe456]

[skullgame45]

[evgeniy02141982]

Great song! Just don't understand is ,why niggro wearing red tye? Don't really bland in

With black suit !lmfao

[TheStanCave]

Shit, I don't think the original version is on here.

[ggfanjase]

LOL Oliver Platt

[tfutrell000]

I would love to see a performance of this track with Dolly Parton doing the chorus.

[iiFRESHMANKiiDD]

this is my jaaaam<3.

[rocketman5989]

5 years since i heard this, got to hear it over my sirius radio in october, which was like an indian summer, windows down, it felt like summer, so nice to hear this song again

[casinospielothek]

casino spielothek is my superstar

[heybigboiiiiiiiiii]

haleyyyyyyyyy u hot too chica

[heybigboiiiiiiiiii]

Myaaaaaaaaaaaaaa u so finee

[femsjutio]

Sara!

[DCWYT08]

gah fashion was so ugly in late 90's early 2000's. so glad we're passed that

[Ultimate007Trini]

@DCWYT08 YOU MUST BE CRAZY FOOL, not late 90's, this was the era of FUBU, SEAN JOHN AND MORE. Look how Cash Money and Lil Wayne used to dress in their videos with bling bling, way of life and you will see.

[wiggy1988]

@DCWYT08

Take a look at a photo of fashionable people today in ten years and you'd say the same thing

[WBmilkmandan]

Now I feel old.

[noodles41]

RIP ODB. x

[nameless777]

I'll be honest. I wish I could erase certain songs from the world. But a lot of my songs turned out to be classics. Success fucks with people. Turns them into assholes for the most part. I've seen it happen with some friends. I was offered lots of money once in my life, but I didn't take it. I should have though. Because I tried asking for it later and they refused to pay me. So I'll probably die poor.

[nameless777]

It's not always a good feeling... When you're broke and looking for the cheapest food to eat. I hate being poor like this. I should be rich. I work at a warehouse now. My music used to be a big deal. It still gets played on the radio but I never get anything from it. I think I got a shitty deal, personally. I have no residual income. The record companies don't give a fuck about their workers. I should be rich right now. For most of my hit songs I never got paid one cent.

[nameless777]

Hello my good fans. I'm still here. I'm the tragic hero of the moment. I'm the guy who wrote this song.

If you're gonna fight with me, just remember that fighting drains your spirit and leaves you weakened. Anyway, I'm fucking broke. I've never been rich. I made moderate money in the 90s, but those times are long gone. People think that if you write a hit song, you're set for life. Well that ain't the way it goes. You have no idea what it's like to hear your song in the grocery store.

[northernstar130685]

Love Mya !!!

[RetroDimeDiva]

R.I.P 2 Russell Jones aka ODB

[murryme]

Holy crap. This song is so old, David Beckham isn't the soccer reference. Pele is. Dammit I'm old as balls. :(

[whyyoureadingthis12]

This song makes me feel like a kid again

[MegaSuperDuchbag]

Shit, 14 years and this song is still fresh!

[lilhomie613]

Like If The Ghetto Brought You Here

[88UTUBENAZI88]

bounce nukkurrrrrrz

[BUSKY76]

The good old dayz....them times never come back

[only1Greymatter]

@BUSKY76 history always tends to repeat itself man

[TheDeadOmega]

This one goes out to my man Herman Cain...

[GeeeStatuz]

i heard this song on pandora, i swear i love pandora i havent heard it since i was little, brings back so many memories! !! ahhh 

[GetThatDoughBoy81]

@GeeeStatuz I know, it's crazy how these songs from the golden era of hip hop, the 90's, bring you right back to that time, man! Shit makes me sad!
