Back then, romance was a different thing entirely (90s to early 2000s). After this era, things changed drastically in our social life. Then, relationship was characterized by style and doings. Today, everything centres around money, sex and material things. Females of this generation want money while the males want sex. These are now the two pillars on which almost every relationship stands on.

Na these songs we take dey do romance that year. Don't forget that modern Nigerian pop music was not around then, in case you were born in the decade after 1999.

Rapmoney:


You dey relate abi?

The will never be an era like the 90's and early 2000's in R&B and music in general. Back to back hits were the norm with strategic rhymes and beats to match..It was a magical moment in Western urban music..

In addition to your list,

Craig David's album Born to do it, smashing tracks like I am walking away,Seven Days, Fill Me in was a hit of it's own class amongst Africans

50 Cent, In Da Club took Hip hop to a different level

Beyonce after a successful pompous carrier as the head of the Destiny's Child paired up with Jay Z to bring to air Bonny and Clyde and a host of other hits

Shaggy's wasn't me brought other Jamaicans that forever defined dancehall with greats like Kevin Little, Wayne Wonder, Rupee, and Sean Paul etc..

Rihanna's master stroke Umbrella ft Jay Z, brought another star to behold..

R.Kelly after a successful 90's carried the momentum to the 2000's with his critical acclaim TP2.com album of salacious hits. Fiesta Remix was the bomb. Ignition, Chocolate factory, Trapped in the closet, You saved me, Happy People..

If you grew up as an African teenager and didn't know Joe Thomas then you weren't on planet earth

Akon brought his own style in the mid half of the 2000's featuring with almost every A list artist

Sisqo after a successful career with the group Dru Hill unleashed the dragon in 2000 with a tinted hair and style to match

Timbaland, Timberlake, Missy Elliot, Katy Perry, Nelly Furtado, Black Eyed Peas...It's a never ending list of good music..We should talk about the 90's sometime so greats like Keith Sweat can be celebrated too..

Still played 7/10 of the list all through last week.

Add Sean Kingston Face Drop and the remix to that list.

No 2 is not popular! Who sabi Smilez and South Star?

Bitterkola100:
chai, check the topic again. "hip hop romantic songs"

Bitterman, it was checked. Most songs listed are romantic songs.

Funny how girls fall for guys that score songs even with wrong lyrics in those days, now it's money or nothing

Good old days ,Ashanti and ja rule collaborations always on point

Nobody cares lol

Rapmoney:

No 2 is not popular. Who sabi Smilez and South Star?
Be like say you just added up songs you love. You sure say you be pikin of this era?

Remove Let me hold you by Bow Wow & Omarion & slot in 7 Days or Rendezvous by Craig David.
What about Sean Paul, Rupee & Kevin Little's songs? Where's I m still in love, Turn me on, Tempted to touch etc? Oh my God, what about Shaggy's It wasn't me?
You even forgot Nigerian ones like You is the one by Azadus and Live in Yankee by Eedris Abdulkareem. African Queen by 2Face nko? Most popular Nigerian song ever.
Rapmoney, bring ya head my I knock am! Go and modify ya post if you can. I v supplied you enough expos. All songs listed are the top charts of love song in the early 2000s.
I know what you want is 2004 or 2005.
Sean Kingston's Beautiful girl was 2007.
The rest fit the bracket. Coast to Coast was owned by Angie Martinez. She featured Wyclef. It come be like say na same location dem shoot video of Judgement Day by Whitney Houston and Coast to Coast by Angie.
What about Ride with me and Dilemma by Nelly?
How the fûck did the op skipped Dilemma? It was the next big song after Always on time in the early 2000s. This know ya lyrics book is always with song lovers, wey we go dey use memorize songs instead of books. That's to show you how much people loved those songs and they buy music lyrics books.
We go dey read hints, hearts and on special days, ovation to catch up with entertainment news. Na only AIT dey supply us better coverage of what TV stations can be like.
Chai! When life was black!

Today's songs are noise compared to dos days

JARULE , SEAN KINGSTONS

Lol... Most of the songs you listed are centered around money, sex and material things. No be today e start

Give it up for Ja rule - Always on time
Blazing beats, smooth lyrics, and explosive rhythm

Old songs actually revive the abandoned dreams

Jarule and Nelly rocked then

Jarule/Ashanti was on of the biggest RNB songs of the early 2000's.

And please remove Sean Kingston. That should be mid and not early. 2000's. I think it's a 2008 song if I'm correct .

Also,OP is missing Nelly's "Dilemma" featuring Kelly Rowland. It should be included on the list

Touch my body 💯

Nigerian girls never be OLOSHOes that time
Cheap internet has made them lose their senses

What of Dilemma- Nelly ft Kelly Rowland?

Sean Paul ft Sasha - I'm still in love
Kevin Lyttle - turn me on
2pac - me and my girlfriend (romantic song for the criminally-inclined couples out there )


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQ4TW5Z8eu0?si=QDXekjjfQak7xWs3

Yes

No way

My love by Mario is not there

so you leave Nelly ft Kelly - dilemma are you serious bro

Last breed of rappers before nimble codine drinking weirdos came to the scene

Substitute Nelly's Ride with me with Dilemma


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WYHDfJDPDc?si=N4eYydytXYW96ThS

Busta rhymes ft Maria Carey, baby if you give it to me, I'll give it to you, I know what you want, you know I garrit... This song really was a hit then...

Check this out

Lol good old days.


Nelly ft Kelly Rowland - Dilemma

Ought to replace ride with me


P. Diddy - I Need a Girl Part 2

Should replace your No. 2

Me & Chidinma on top this Jam that year,I believe in you by Joe , most especially the rainy season.
No era can beat the late 90s & early 00's in terms of good music.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqhTTufTsU4?si=2vt8FXkbNtx3KUs-

Wow

This list is incomplete without dilemma by Nelly ft Kelly Rowland
