Two things, the sample is Lenny Williams and the girl can actually play the violin, in those day she did guests spots for rappers like Jay-Z playing that thang!!

Yea when I would go see Jay she would be there playing the hell out of that 🎻

[@pookieluv1]

I remember she came out with her own video it played on 106 and park back then

[@mizzchoc10]

The old Kanye West is a legend. You should definitely check out FLASHING LIGHTS. This is Kanye west's masterpiece, nobody was ready for this track. The instrumental is forever my ringtone. Not to mention, diamond is forever, Jesus walks, touch the sky.

[@BSashaRusso]

I loved the version of Flashing Lights from his vh1 Kanye storytellers (I think that’s what the show was called) that live version is so dope!!!!

Back in the day, alot of people from the south migrated to the Midwest. Which is why you hear that southern drawl.

[@builtfit1291]

This song is straight 🔥, Twista did his thing and Kanye killed this beat, love this Kanye. That violinist is Miri Ben Ari she was also in a joint called Sic Wit da Flip - Lil Flip and E 40.

[@40EastTrill]

Alicia Keys "Fallin," Wu Tang Clan "Reunited", Kanye West, Janet Jackson, Brandy. So many people. She's a legend within the industry.

This song was a big deal! The violinist is Miri Ben-Ari. She had a good lil run with features on hip hop and rap songs.

She did her thing back in the day.. she was on lots of hits back then.

[@therealimlikewoa]

I used to take violin lessons and swore I was gonna be her lol

[@spidermonkey304]

That high pitch voice sampling was called “chipmunk soul”. Was popular in that time Kanye used it quite a bit.

[@bluesneakers]

Btw Chicago has southern energy because of the Great Migration. A lot of their grandparents from Alabama, and Mississippi/from the south brought that up there.

[@adrenna1973]

Tru! I was born and raised in the Chi. In high school and college folks thought I was from the south. When I moved to the south everybody was like...uhmmm sis where you from? You're not from the south..LOL.

[@cottonmonae8166]

And chicago accents kinda sound southern and up north like

[@focusedchick]

Yep! My grandfather is from Mississippi. He moved to St. Louis in the 1940s with my grandmother, so we all (my dad, his siblings and all of my first cousins) live here. My grandfather's brother moved to Chicago around the same time and all of his offspring are still there. My grandmother's brother moved to Detroit during the same period, so that's where all of his offspring are.

[@cwin721]

I was gon say this exact thing. My Grandma from Mississippi. I'm the second generation in Chicago

[@cheetahgirlfan32]

That makes sense

[@dottiehinkle7822]

Yeah, lots of black Chicagoans have recent southern ancestry.

@@Ilovechicago100 You are correct. Depending on what Southern state you were from depended up what Northern city AAs migrated to because of the bus routes. People from Mississippi migrated to Chicago bc that is where that bus route took them to. Georgia or Alabama, South Carolina routes could take you to New York or Detroit depending on where you got on the bus from

[@D.nada_47]

This song stayed on rotation back in the day 🤣 The OG version by Lenny is amazing as well

[@TheMastermindzTV]

Hearing him mention 106 and Park makes me wanna cry. 106 was the voice of Hip Hop from 9-11-00 to sometime 2014, when it was all over.

[@123reletive123]

Lenny Williams- Cause I Love You🔥🔥

[@christianaayodele]

The violinist is actually playing she was very big back in the day

[@sademontgomery2181]

The song that its sampling is "cause i love you" by lenny william one of mu favorite songs

she is definitely playing the violin jack lmaooo

[@jewel77jewel14]

Since 2004 this song is on Heavy rotation on my playlist. The violonist in the video is Miri Ben Ari a well known musician who co wrote "Jesus Walks" with Kanye.

[@AmberDiva79]

React to City high ft Eve- “caramel”.

[@aniss1119]

This song sample « Cause I Love You » by Lenny Williams. This is a MASTERPIECE ! You MUST react this song ! This is the greatest love song ever !

[@jaymiller1792]

Definitely!

[@3COI]

The reason a lot of peor sound like they're from the South is bc a few generations ago, a bunch of Black people left the deep South and moved North. Chicago was one of those places and they kept a lot of their connections, including some of that drawl. Anyway, the song is still 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 and this was a great reaction!

[@StylesD83]

Word! I'm from Milwaukee, which is like 1 1/2 from Chicago and whenever, I go there, I can hear the various types of southern, accents all in one place. The only difference is that they have a Chicago, "twist" to them. Some of us from Milwaukee, have southern, accents but not as diverse as Chicago. Anyhow, the Midwest got love from the south, since our elders were from there.

[@cherrybdaone]

Miri Ben Ari was so short lived man 😩 She was also featured in “Sunshine In The Rain” Scarface Ft. Anthony Hamilton.. This is such a great song.

[@kelviannaepperson3677]

Also react to Girl Tonite by Twista ft. Trey songz sampling Tonight by Ready for the world. 106 ended in 2014 it was sad and when that ended they wouldn't even play videos on fuse

[@smittybenzo4693]

The Lenny Williams sample though....

[@kevaunmitchell1316]

Oh my God this is my shizzle 2004 I miss you come back 😭

Speaking of the sample can you react to Cause I love you by Lenny Williams

[@OLatreil]

One of the best songs ever in history. Make you want to cry yourself to sleep after listening cuz it's bound to bring up old stuff. I remember my dad playing this real loud and singing it in the basement over and over.

[@shenellee]

The girl on the violin is Miri Ben Ari and she’s so dope on the violin 🔥

[@kamirenette]

Babygirl was playing the violin forreal because she did the intro live on TV when Twista performed this on an awards show😁😁 The whole album that this song is on was straight fyre anyways!!! But if you liked this, do Girl, Tonight and Just Gotta Make It by Twista and both ft Trey Songz

[@babyjki444]

the violin lady was everywhere during this time. and i definitely had a crush on her, she was fly af and talented.

Review Lenny Willians “I love you”

[@TARLEASE02]

Jack would LOVE the song. 😊

[@RTDavis0503]

Chicago, Milwaukee, Cleveland, saint Louis all got southern drawls.... That's because many people from the south migrated to the Midwest in the seventies, eighties, and nineties. It's the reverse now, people moving back down south

[@Dar.Nicole]

Kanye is a musical genius & definitely one of my favorites. Seen him numerous times in concert up until his last tour. Such a shame I can’t rock with him personally. I hope he gets the help he needs.

The Great Migration (1917-1970) is why so many of Chicago's Black Americans sound Southern. During the U.S. South's Jim Crow apartheid & terrorism, Southern Black Americans _fled for their lives_ to Chicago (& other northern & western cities.)

The girl playing the violin is the famous hip-hop violinist, Miri Ben-Ari. You may have heard her on Alicia Keys "Fallin' "and she's one of the co-writers of Kanye's "Jesus Walks". That's just the tip of the iceberg.

[@stacywilliams5895]

"Overnight Celebrity" that's my jam that beginning part is definitely a signature Kanye West sound like you said Jack. But how the beat came in I'm definitely jammin' I been listening to this song since I was in 1st grade and man it makes me feel young again.

[@deljean]

One of my all-time favorites

[@lalam.9748]

Miri Ben Ari is so fire, I remeber she came out with her album The hip hop violinist and every track was amazing! She made me want to play the violin so bad when I was a kid that I signed up for band and to play it in the 5th grade, I really thought I was going to be tearing it up like her to all my favorite song lmfaooo I was trash, but It was a nice fantasy while it lasted lol

RZA from Wu Tang Clan was using the high pitch samples since 1997 just check out the songs Triumph from Wu Tang Clan and The Unexplained by The Gravediggaz and you'll see what I mean. In fact Kanye West has said that RZA was a direct influence on his production style. West has said "Wu-Tang? Me and my friends talk about this all the time... We think Wu-Tang had one of the biggest impacts as far as a movement. From slang to style of dress, skits, the samples. Similar to the [production] style I use, RZA has been doing that."

I'm not sure if that violinist is playing in this song, but it is possible, because there was a person (who look something like her) that we just called the Hip Hop Violinist back then. It was a violinist who did actually play songs like that. (Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.)

[@theunboundblossom2202]

The black community in Chicago are generally from southern families who moved north so we still kinda sound southern.

[@FAMCHAMP]

Yeah that stle of sampling is called "Chipmunk Sampling" because it was I believe inspired from the Alvin and the Chipmunks sped up technique that people credited The RZA for starting on the Wu track "For Haven's Sake" and Just Blaize was a pioneer too I know someone might correct me tho Sped up music tho was a big thing for House Music in the 80s n 90s tho like Baltimore Club Jay Z Hard Knock Life, Mos Def Ms Fat Booty,, Styles P - Good Times, Cam'ron - Oh Boy did it too but Kanye took it and mastered it to a whole new level during those College Dropout days I know that they said RZA just aint have the technology like we do now to sync it as perfect so he did the old way of recording it first then speed it up then rerecording it I dont know if Kanye had to do the same but I know Just Blaize helped simplify it Kanye did another dope track with Twista called "Impossible" if you wanna peep that too

[@TheLilly]

That's Miri Ben-Ari and she is playing that. You gotta check her out.
