Hip-Hop & Soul N°100 – Vintage 2000s Music Videos
How well do you know the music of Donell Jones’ "U Know What’s Up" blends smooth vocals with a bouncy R&B groove, bolstered by Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes' playful guest verse.

Macy Gray’s emotive "I Try" conveys heartbreak with raw authenticity, while Whitney Houston’s "I Learned from the Best" pairs vocal restraint with glam production. TLC’s "Dear Lie" offers reflective tension, and Neneh Cherry’s "Buddy X ’99" transforms into a UK garage anthem. Gabrielle’s "Sunshine" sparkles with nostalgic warmth, and Nas’ "Nastradamus" walks a fine line between grit and self-indulgence. Through these tracks, 1999 vividly reflects R&B, hip-hop, and genre-blurring experimentation.? Take our 12-track quiz.
