His stomach must have been sounding like a pair of wet Timberland boots in the dryer after that meal.

he was eating fired fish with a hot chocolate:

Classic song They don’t make music like this anymore

this classic

Nigga was so scared he ordered fish n coco 🤮🤢

Ain’t no dude looking like that bagging nobody like her in 2025 😭

Does anyone drink hot chocolate at lunch, let alone with fried fish?

This song still feels timeless. The emotion, the vocals, the storytelling… all of it just hits 🎧✨

Kanye is a genius

And shortly after the video aired the diner she filmed it at burned to the ground. It was called Pan Pan in Harlem. Baffles me because a firehouse was literally 2 blocks away.

Thats gangstalicious,mos def

Is that not Mos Def?

I remember watching the Access Granted for this and how Chris Robinson deliberately wanted the blue lighting to hit her during certain parts of the song in closeup shots. That’s why he’s one of the greatest and another reason why this video remains a timeless classic.

22 years later and “You Don’t Know My Name” still hits like a quiet storm pure soul, raw vulnerability, and timeless songwriting. Alicia Keys didn’t just release a song, she introduced a feeling that never aged.

Song is 🔥, but the yams, collard greens, and hot chocolate order even made me reaching for the pepto bismol.

my nigga Yasiin pulling the finest shyt

1. Why did he not lay a verse on this And most importantly 2. Why tf did he get a hot chocolate with the soul food ?!?!

Kanye really stuck his foot in this one. That beat was so fire it cured Alicia Keys’ acne

@DeeJaySeanG is it that time of year that we debate whether or not Yasiin was illiterate in this video 😂

Pretty sure this music video was the first time I seen her as a kid and I was crushing bad lol

She was thirsty in this video like just chill shawty 😏

Classic

Hot Chocolate & Fish in the morning =

Alicia Keys. Nuff said

Man I hate Kanye went Kanye. That man is a freaking musical genius.

The thirst was real. Made the song even better!

Me in the background: Where’s my side salad? Where is that waitress?

Never seen this video before and I cannot believe she was singing about Mos Def 😭😭

One of my favorite kanye beats of all time. 👏🏿🔥
