Music producer @ronfairmusic added the strings you hear in the Black Eyed Peas’ “Where Is The Love.” 🎶 By layering orchestral strings on top of the beat, he gave the track a sweeping, emotional feel… almost like classical music. 🎻 It turned a powerful hip hop record into something timeless. Do you hear the difference the strings make? 👂🔥 #behindthescenes #2000s #musicproduction #classicalmusicians #violin #mozart #blackeyedpeas #whereisthelove #orchestra #instrumental #fergie

Imagine getting arrested for this 🤦‍♂️ In 2015, Florida Man Daniel Rushing was arrested over Krispy Kreme glaze mistaken for crystal meth. In 2017 the city settled with him for $37,500. Sources don’t detail how much his legal fees cost… Only In Florida🌴 #floridaman #krispykreme #truecrime #police

Early-2000s music videos hit different🔥 Afroman used real w**d on set while filming “Because I Got H!gh.” 
Director Kevin Smith legit thought the whole crew might get arrested 😳 #behindthescenes #afroman #becauseigothigh #kevinsmith #jayandsilentbob #musicvideo

Imagine rejecting “Unwritten”… one of the biggest anthems of the 2000s. 🤯 Natasha Bedingfield first wrote it as a simple poem, but her producers at the time told her it wasn’t “sexy enough” and shut it down. She held onto the idea, fought to bring it back, and joined forces with acclaimed songwriter Danielle brisebois and producer Wayne Rodriguez to finally make the track. Proof that sometimes you’ve gotta follow your gut, even when the experts say no. ❤️ What other iconic songs almost never made it?” #unwritten #natashabedingfield #songwriting #followyourheart

Sibling goals❤️ With “Unwritten” Natasha Bedingfield wrote one of the most iconic songs of the 2000s… But did you know her brother Daniel was already a star? 🤯 
He had “Gotta Get Thru This” first and helped his sister launch her career. Who do you think had the bigger anthem? 👀 #unwritten #gottagetthruthis #natashabedingfield #danielbedingfield #siblinggoals

Imagine if this bop never existed 😭 Shaggy’s “It Wasn’t Me” almost didn’t make the cut. His label didn’t want it. But shaggy’s label rep Hans Haedelt accidentally heard the track while st*ned and encouraged Shaggy and producer Sting International to go go finish the track and sneak it on the Hot Shot album. #shaggy #itwasntme #dancehall #2000smusic #behindthescenes #recordingstudio #oops #songwriting

If you saw this reveal live back in the day, you’re a legend. 🫡 When Never Gonna Give You Up first hit the radio, the music video didn’t even exist yet. His producers leaned into the mystery that no one knew what Rick Astley looked like, or even what race he was. Once the song blew up, they scrambled to make a video as quickly as possible. When the video finally dropped, audiences experienced one of the biggest reveals in pop music history. The youngsters will never understand. #rickastley #rickroll #nevergonnagiveyouup #musicvideo #80smusic #vocals #reveal

Making my way downtown…on the back of a truck…strapped to a piano…and I’m homebound. No green screen. No CGI. Just Vanessa Carlton being driven through Downtown LA and Palmdale on a piano…for real. The “A Thousand Miles” music video is even more iconic when you learn how they actually made it. Director Marc Klasfeld and Interscope Records SVP Michelle Thomas break down the wild production! BTS photos provided by Barry Norwood, DP This is behind-the-scenes music video history at its best 😂 #vanessacarlton #athousandmiles #makingmywaydowntown #behindthescenes #musicvideo #2000smusic #piano #dtla #palmdale

“How’d the dance come about?” “Fear”😂 You’ve seen the Never Gonna Give You Up video a million times… But you’ve never heard the real story behind it from Rick Astley himself. The dance? The outfit? The reason behind it all? One word: Fear. 😂 #rickastley #rickroll #nevergonnagiveyouup #behindthescenes #popculture #80smusic #dance #musicvideo
