- Yo, this is a jam!
- Damn! These are 2000s? They've got some bops.
♪ (upbeat intro) ♪
- (FBE) So today, we're doing something
that is quite nostalgic, at least for me.
- Okay.
- (FBE) We are going to listen to some 2000s hip hop
and we'll see if you know it. - All right.
I'm down. I love hip hop.
- I actually feel pretty confident about this.
This is an area of music where I actually feel like I know something.
- The 2000s is a good era of music, so hopefully I'll do decent.
- I don't want to be too confident because I feel like
once I hear the songs, I'm gonna be like, "Uh..."
- I'm gonna try my hardest and maybe if I bring myself down--
you know, if you bring yourself down, you can only go up.
- Even though I was too young to be listening to that kind of music,
I did anyway, and I listen to a lot of it now
because it's so fun.
- Hopefully, my recollection is good, but I'm excited.
Let's do it!

He can rap really fast.
I wish I could rap that fast.
- I think it might be from Busta Rhymes.
- I know it's Busta Rhymes, but I don't know the title.
- This is Busta Rhymes, "Break Ya Neck."
BREAK YA NECK! BREAK YA NECK!
Yes!
- (FBE) That was "Break Ya Neck" by Busta Rhymes.
- Busta Rhymes! Okay, okay.
- (FBE) The song is a showcase for Busta's ability
to spit incredibly fast.
"Break Ya Neck" is considered a landmark track
for both Busta's work and speed rap in general.
- Yeah, because he definitely is, when you think of speed rap,
Busta Rhymes. That's the first thing you think of.

I'm assumed it's called "Like Right Thurr."
- It's called "Right Thurr," right, but I honestly do not know
who it's by.
- It's called "Right Thurr," but I don't know
the name of the artist.
- I know it's "Right Thurr," but I do not know the artist.
- (FBE) This is "Right Thurr" by Chingy.
- Oh! Who's Chingy?
I don't even know who that is.
- It's a good song.
That's one of the songs that-- let's say you're at a party

- Hip hop's 2000s is my new go-to.
- (FBE) And do you know it? - No, I don't.
- I don't know the title or the artist.
- The title is "M.V.P." I don't know who sings it.
- I'd say 50 Cent?
- I know it's 50 Cent, though.
I do not know the name of it, though!
- That song's by The Game, who is an LA rapper,
and then 50 Cent.
"Hate It or Love It."
- (FBE) This is "Hate It or Love it" by The Game and 50 Cent.
- Oh! Oh, my god.
- I know Fitty Cent. "Fitty," "50."
I don't know.
- I heard 50 Cent's voice too, and I was like, "Huh."
(FBE) So 50 Cent and The Game have an infamous feud.
Rumor has it that it started because 50's album
had to be pushed back in order to accommodate
The Game's debut album.
Allegedly, the feud was going on when they filmed
the music video and 50 refused to sit in the front seat
in the car next to The Game for some shots.
- Oh, that's petty. Oh, that's real petty.
- So there was some beef. Dang!
The song was good, though.
- I can see where he was a little upset
because the album got pushed back.
Respectable. Hopefully, they're not feuding anymore, though.
- That's so awkward but I guess we got all the feuds back then still
and we still have it today.
I guess it's just gonna keep going on in the rap world.

it's one of those you just want to get up and dance.
- DAMN IT! (laughing) That was my next guess.
I was gonna say "Lose Control."

- Oh, pffft. I'm way off then.
Way off!
- (FBE) Nelly is famous for wearing a band-aid on his cheek.
He started wearing one for a basketball injury,
but then wore it for his friend City Spud,
who Nelly said was serving a 10-year sentence for a robbery
he didn't commit. He says he can see him
on TV wearing it and will know he is wearing it for him.
- Oh, that's kind of cool.
He really committed to a band-aid.
- That's so nice, knowing that the actual message behind it--
that is so dope. He is such dope person.
There was this time in 10th grade, where I'd just wear band-aids
on my face too because I was obsessed with Nelly,
so I was like, I'm just gonna do it, too.
