[@robbieez4]

Hey she followed her dreams and did what she wanted, Props Angie!

[@keezemojito1278]

Facts lol she was successfull and dipped

[@aarong4379]

I remember hearing “if I could go “ on the radio all the time. I also remember everyone saying she looked identical to Jennifer Lopez in her videos 😂😂

[@allen9584]

Either way i love her! She is very humble & positive

[@thediaryofamusicfreak]

Being from the uk I only ever knew Angie Martinez as a rapper, it was only as I got older I realised she was a radio host

[@whooked]

opposite for me

[@sweetwaterwilliams5861]

That's so interesting!

[@Alan_GA]

Same here!

[@witness1013]

IF I could go - w/ the Jay-Z sound-a-like Saccario - is stil a classic. 28 years on Hot97 - wow

[@keezemojito1278]

Sound a like 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Jac735]

Hahahs😅😂

[@corymatthews6778]

The video I didn’t know I needed! She def had some bangers and should’ve kept going.

[@negralinda805]

I am proud to say I owned both of her albums no skips

[@skiebashment7083]

I AGREE...SHE WAS ACTUALLY POPPIN

[@hjames78]

I had them both but yeah.... I don't anymore lol was years ago!

[@BarzOverAll]

Damn really...I never listened to them I didn't even know she dropped 2

[@moemillerpresents]

Lie to somebody else

[@LaughingxClouds]

There's definitely skips lol

[@hjames78]

I remember her short rap career and I got to say, tho short, she did better then a lot of other people who just rap and I enjoyed her songs myself. I remember the song she did with Prodigy from Mobb Deep, that one was my favorite of hers

[@grandinquizitor7412]

Angie has a good voice to be a rapper because it's distinct and has a flow, but she definitely needs a ghost writer.

[@HelpMeHelpMePlease]

You're tripping off you think that. She was cold.

[@lordhanzo7544]

Nothing to lose wasn’t about Martin thinking his wife was cheating it was about Tim Robbins thinking his wife was cheating.

[@sinsearjones6081]

I know she took time off when she was dating Nokio and they had a baby together.... She also got in a car crash in like 2019 angie was cool as a rapper her voice is everything and she held her own on ladies night with all those vets 💙💙

[@relldafox]

Angie did it for fun

[@keezemojito1278]

Yes , rumor says Jay was tapping that lol

[@phillmoe]

​@keezemojito1278 shit she had a baby with qtip, wouldn't surprise me about Jay

[@rayedmonds6108]

​@@phillmoeShe never had a baby with Q-Tip. She has a kid with Nokio from Dru Hill. He now plays ball for Syracuse. The Angie/Jay rumor was heavy around the early 2000's though.

[@janeenhobbs6900]

She has a child by Nokio from Dru hill​@@phillmoe

[@silentassassin6162]

“If I can go” is still my shit till this day

[@vinniechaos]

i’ve been WAITING for someone to make a video about this omg

[@kit-cat4188]

Same

[@tyesmith7201]

Nobody took her seriously, when you bring up female emcees of the 90's - 00's, nobody ever mentions her.

[@eugenedantzler4485]

Her verse on Not Tonight was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@EarnestCook-lp2ly]

Coming off of " Ladies Night " , they should have dropped her solo album earlier but we ended up getting for her debut was fire. Very much slept on. She had some shit

[@beejay271]

Yoooo! A Nina Sky sighting?! I stepped outta the time machine and landed firmly in 2004 😅

[@MRB1199]

Nina sky came to my block to cop bud lmao

[@brittr9996]

No Angie Martinez hate will be tolerated 🎉

[@goldbrooks]

Exactly 🙌🏽

[@lesm3870]

back when NYC was flooding the airwaves with music trying to maintain the crown. some was great, a lot of it mid. Angie wasnt even mid.

[@phillyphil201]

I like Angie on the radio then rapping, she had to many features but respect are 2 album ventures. Still respected in NYC

[@212island]

Angie was a personality from our era and it came with the territory, like hey Angie your a cute PR mommy you work at a hip hop station …start rapping . She’s a staple in New York City and in hip hop . Yo ANGIE !!!!!!!!!

[@SteveSmith-kd9if]

ANGIE MARTINEZ = TRANSFORMER

[@GearsinMotionGraphics]

As far as I'm concerned Angie Martinez has skills 🎶🕛🕐🙌

[@sheraydunbar729]

I agree ❤❤❤

[@healed4real350]

Beautiful, humble. Nice voice. Either way, she wins. Ladies' night is historical in female rap. She stayed in a primarily black lane. You gotta respect her for that. Salute to one of the pioneers.

[@CBeSee]

Some how I was given her CD I put it in and immediately frisbeed it out my car window

[@PaypahMan]

I remember those CDs floating around the City I still have that cd unopened hopefully I can get it autographed 1 day

[@wintersouljah8437]

Lmao 😂

[@kit-cat4188]

I was just about to ask you to do Angie Martinez n then I just found this video Ali u never disappoint ur videos are so informative ty 👍

[@lamaralexander8384]

She has the flow & look to be a rapper. She would have been great.

[@anacohen7702]

I loved both of those albums. I'm salty I never got to see her in concert.

[@AudioBoyzEnt]

Either way. I love her. I enjoy hearing her voice.

[@broolkeez]

And on top of everything she’s gorgeous!!

[@sheraydunbar729]

Facts ❤👏👏👑

[@ghostlyjudge]

this is like when your friends tell you youre funny so you try stand up

[@phillinsogood]

She gives me a typical New Yorker who just likes to rap & got lucky lol

[@natenoreaga6696]

She had a 🔥 song with Jay-Z

[@serenitygreene5661]

Not Tonight (Remix) is easily one of if not my favorite hip hop of all time. But it took me years to realize the Angie Martinez on this song is the same Angie Martinez on (or at least was) The Breakfast Club 😭😭🤦🏽‍♀️Granted, I started listening to the song bc of Left Eye who was my favorite TLC member. I loved the video bc Queen Latifah and Mary J. Blige was there lol. But I’ve grown to love both the song and MV bc everyone involved

[@TrvisXXIII]

Suavementeeeee, besamee! Angie Martinez, can I get a date on Friday 😂😂 I still say that to this day and that single went no where lol no idea why that stuck with me

[@rayedmonds6108]

It's crazy the random things we remember decades later. Especially when it seems like you're the only one that remembers that particular thing lol

[@klewis564]

Angie was so fine omg. ❤❤❤

[@DTL32]

i liked "if i could go" didnt knew she was the artist lol

[@ashleywills8761]

I also remember her havin Nokio from Dru Hill’s baby too but I love her on the radio 💯💯

[@jeremyblackwater439]

I used to have the biggest crush on her! 🥰

[@culturejones2078]

I heard the beginning was like I'm good lol😂

[@faith9224]

😂😂😂😂

[@dizzylee_baddawqrec]

She’s was fire no doubt about that and she got mad fire songs by herself and collab 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@teechauntv5291]

Fun fact Rick Ross was one of her ghost writers

[@rayedmonds6108]

Never heard that before. But it explains why her bars were painfully average. 😆

[@devondawkins5492]

KRS One hyping her up is proof that legends have poor taste at times

[@CuirPhotodotNet]

....i heard she had a brief rap career however i think she absolutely made the right choice as a radio personality she is very relaxed and authentic and she represents the rap and hip hop cultures beautifully....

[@chancest.thomas5160]

I've alwayz dug Her. 4:56 Dat's COLD!! 😅

[@BrandanTheBroker]

Dear Ali, JOHN CENA!!!

[@MIGGYME1]

I remember her song on i think it was nba live 2003 with lil Mo. It was decent.

[@jayssonglist9466]

This is soooooo weird. I was literally thinking about this yesterday

[@pureromanceable]

I love watching your videos it makes perfect sense and to the point, Angie Martinez I listened to her sing"Not tonight","if I could go"with Scario and Lil Mo but I have not heard anything else from Angie,she is a radio personality she is a great female rap solo artist she would have a great rap career.

[@a-t-lheatsquad5029]

NBA Live 2003 anybody? Iykyk

[@luzluna6808]

I actually like a few of her songs/verses. I have wondered why she stopped.

[@dericksmith1267]

Oh god what was that intro.. 😂🤣😂

[@fullyoutkast3320]

Ikr 😂

[@Leafhurr1cane]

Can you do a flatbush zombies episode or a palmer squares?

[@seanlamar29]

Idk who told her to rap ..

[@andrewmiller5610]

😂😂😂

[@TekkLuthor]

KRS One was just trying to get laid

[@phillinsogood]

Yea she comes off as a cringe New Yorker who just likes to rap 😂

[@Eclectic_City]

I think I had her first album....Animal House or something like that. I actually loved the album tbh

[@metalsmafia3273]

Kool Kith spoke on her career on the album spankmaster.

[@lamaralexander8384]

The songs with lil Kim, Kelis and Lil Mo & iconic songs from what I think. I heard it on the radio & ppl blasting it in Brooklyn. Angie did her thang 🙌🙌🙌

[@TYBO-xl1xz]

Red-Man helped her write those rhymes on that KRS song I heard

[@hugheswhiteman1674]

Shawty was a great radio personality. Her music was garbage. She got NO spins in the town

[@may13th46]

That shit was trash then and trash now especially that dude that was with her that tried to sound like hov 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@gregwhite7852]

Good Lord I kno I'm old NOTHING TO LOSE Movie/Soundtrack was the sh*t in 97! Also Tim Robbins character thought he was getting cheated on! Drop a video on WHT KAMAIYAH?!

[@BIG-7777]

No!,there’s your answer to the title of your video😂

[@JoeGain-pk3vz]

One of the first Latinas in rap to get her face out there,thought she was beautiful I really just remember her in the ladies night video ,she was bad but she could actually rap I'm sure someone helped write with her but she was alright ,shout out butter pecan Rican with rhe sugar and the spice

[@B0rikua787]

3:50 you got the story of the movie, "Nothing to lose" wrong. It's not Martin characters the one that the wife cheats on

[@thugzman7890]

Sacario was supposed to go! I met dude at Def Jam in like 1998-99 he mellow af and his voice actually sounds like that naturally. What happened to him?

[@HelpMeHelpMePlease]

Sounded too much like Jay

[@michaelbest9113]

Ebony Eyes from St. Louis

[@rodds.6120]

Wasn't Martin Lawrence's wife who was suspected of cheating, it was his partner in Nothing To Lose.

[@yoteddybaby]

Can you do Petey Pablo?

[@Most6eminiever]

And she interviewed 2Pac.

[@justnickperiod4658]

Man, I know it's not about the movie but completely fumbled the plot of nothing to lose lol

[@Edavis247]

She was cool on ladies night.

[@travmakesbeats3372]

What happened to vado and jr. Writer

[@tysonmiller8258]

She was dating Q-Tip during this time

[@MrJeromeRN]

I liked both albums and thought she was pretty good. She's better suited to radio though.

[@jayivolee]

Why they show nina sky???

[@excaliber8713]

She can rap, can't find them on streaming tho

[@413westernmassbornjp6]

I had no clue she rapped wtf 😂😂

[@blakeperciaccanto2044]

She just aint cut it🤷🏻‍♀️

[@demetriharlan5887]

So what happend?

[@donaldmcgee6334]

Her verse on Ladies Night was decent

[@ricardored207]

Sacario tried his best to sound like the next JAY-Z….. I don’t care who doesn’t believe but just go listen to “LIVE BIG” and form your own opinion… ANGIE definitely gave the rap game hits to listen to till this day…. And who knows how many rappers besides Q-TIP wanted or had her

[@danteofficial7762]

I stole her first album from the record store. I liked it but it definitely wasn't ill nana or hardcore... I'm from NY and I like her as our voice of the airwaves.

[@michaelbest9113]

Baby Boy The Prince

[@luisleonchicago]

The Butter Pecan Rican 😎👍

[@seriousproductions1224]

It ended too soon

[@DwayneTaylor-go4jv]

Angie m 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎

[@michaelbest9113]

Suge Knight. He could've probably been bigger than any one if he handled his business better. Not with rap of course but with the business side

[@85scorpeon]

You need to rewatch "nothing to lose" martin Lawrence was an amateur thief. Tim Robbins was the lead in this movie

[@GuillermoPaulman]

She was much better than Cardi B or Megan Thee Stallion

[@alli5well371]

Looking like jenny from the block

[@michaelbest9113]

Willy Northpole

[@michaelbest9113]

Beanie Segal

[@JMikelle27]

I'm glad she stopped rapping. It really wasn't her lane.

[@BrooknamDon]

TF what Nina sky got to do w/ this shit

[@YoP-3194]

I like ANG....... But.... Umm.. 🫤

[@MobileFilmmaking]

She didn’t start a rap career BEFORE she was a radio personality. She tried to start it WHILE she was a radio personality

[@loucain5299]

She was terrible..most definitely had a ghostwriter 😂

[@tonyrichard8078]

Mr. Trump appreciates the endorsement from Miss Angie Martinez, we believe her support will go a long way with the campaign. Thank You TRUMP 2024

[@joycelynnerobinsonjoycelyn8655]

Stop it she was corny that’s why. Stick to your day job. And in Ladies Night the other rappers out shined her. She was the buzz because she interviewed rappers.
