Ja Rule (Between Me & You) Instrumental ft.Christina Millian (HQ)

[@byanymeansnecessary398]

One of the baddest beats of all time, no cap. How can one track be so cold and fire at the same time? It literally brings tears to my eyes. That Chinese-sounding instrument is too cold 🥶

[@dragons_hook]

Ah yes 2000. The year of the dragon. The influence of asiatic instruments was certainly getting stronger around this time.

1998 was when it was

[@nlee4566]

2001

[@Galidorquest]

That's correct. Asian, Indian & Latin influence in mainstream American Hip Hop & Pop peaked from 2001 - 2005. ("Whenever, Wherever" by Shakira, "Can't Fight The Moonlight" by LeAnn Rimes, "Bonnie 'n Shyne" by Shyne, "I Need a Dime" by Ying Yang Twins, "Magic Stick" and "Just A Lil Bit" by 50 Cent, etc...) 2006 - 2011 was the peak of autotune and synth-revival, and 2012 and onwards was the rise of Dreadhead Mumble Rap with those bicycle chain sounding drum beats.

@@Galidorquest do you have any more songs available to reference such as these? You’re awesome!! I never knew that

[@Galidorquest]

This song is so completely timeless the entire decade is entirely phenomenal everything in the 2000’s decade was absolutely amazing.

[@vinnyhaddad]

The harmonized steel drum at 0:11 and throughout is what ties this track together. It’s perfect.

[@YoshiBugatti]

Are u talking about the 808?

[@rafaelhakimian6873]

That's strings

[@angelc8737]

I’m glad you’re one that appreciated that too!

[@lilhar9678]

Is it strings or steel drum?

[@mark-museum-classic-cars]

Always loved this track, it stands out on its own for sure…

[@deathrager2404]

irv gotti had them fresh beats

[@BangrZz]

The beat iz literally saying the wordz she said on hook🔥 #Classic

[@JDede]

That's because Ja Rule wrote the song and the instrumentals were added during mixing to mimick the chorus. This was common with Murder Inc's sound at the time. Most of their songs had choruses that went exactly with the beats. That was one of their selling points.

Irv Gotti was cooking HARD back in the early 2000s. He had some very very GOOD beats and HITS and it wasn't chance at all He really knew what people wanted to HEAR #Facts💯✌🏼🔥
