This was such a historic video. Not just because the song is classic. The wedding theme. The people. It was at the peak of Southern movement. DJ Paul, Juicy J, Big Gipp, David Banner, Outkast, UGK, T-Pain, Bentley, Chamillionaire, Bishop Magic Juan. It was like country cousins all embracing each other.......that era will never be replicated. And it was encapsulated in this one video.

Hearing Andre talm bout I used to listen to ugk when I was in high school… that just confirms to me that in fact Houston DID put the south on Atlanta may have produced more commercially successful rappers but htine/Texas really the blueprint of the south

[@suadelegend5443]

Absolutely

[@NoNo-ng9sl]

They had invited a ton of people. And their schedules weren't all lined up. From what I remember, Chamillionaire only showed up on the last scene, and he hurried to get to L.A. It's why he's only in the ceremony. Bun was saying they only shot the video because Andre 3k was behind the idea for it, odds are it was mostly likely planned around his schedule. So from the sounds of it, the stars had to align to even have Dre commit to the record, and film a a video for it. The trifecta and Kast, UGK, and Ball and G, would've been perfect. But, we were lucky to have Andre actually commit to it.

As an eastcoast cat I just love how everyone in the south get along & get money together while everyone on the eastcoast & westcoast was beefing with each other & amongst each other. I mean there was a lil beefing going on in the south but Pimp C had put a stop to all that & wanted peace & was able to get everyone in the south who was beefing to squash it & make songs together. I just love the south & me as an eastcoast dude; I hated to the fact people on the east was really hating on the south & I didn't like that because I've been listening to southern rap since the 90s & they really got something to say & they were lyrical. I love UGK, OutKast, 8ball mjg, Master P, Scarface etc..
