2000's Video Vixen era was underrated

[NoirDynosaur]

Before social media took off with IG models, Video vixens was the dominant eye candy

MELYSSA FORD

Melyssa Ford was one of the most popular video vixens of the 2000s. She appeared in several music videos, including the $1.4 million music video for Jay-Z’s “Big Pimpin’.”

Her beauty and hourglass figure earned her the nickname “Jessica Rabbit.” But in an interview with CNN, she questioned whether her role as a video vixen may have done more harm than good for Black women's image

Esther Baxter

Notable Videos: Petey Pablo- “Freek-a-Leek,” Kanye West – “The New Workout Plan,” Ludacris-“Number One Spot,” Nelly – “Shake Ya Tailfeather”

This Miamian of ample assets broke through in the video for Petey Pablo's “Freek-a-Leek.” The list of artists she has worked with includes Will Smith, Kanye West, Ludacris, Nelly and Juelz Santana. She retired from the video game in 2007 in order to focus on starting a family. More recently, she has focused acting and a T-shirt line with clothing brand t*ts.

Tae Heckard

ROCA ACOSTA

Notable Videos: C-Po – “Hold It Down,” Busta Rhymes – “I Got Bass,” 50 Cent – “Funeral Music”

Acosta dances, acts, models and produces workout videos. Her stretching vids are pretty popular. The well-rounded Acosta also performed as a ballerina in her native Dominican Republic and was nominated for a state award in the field of Cultural Development.

Daphne Joy
Notable Videos: E-40 ft. Akon – “Wake It Up,” Flo Rida ft. will.i.am – “In the Ayer,” Rihanna ft. Ne-Yo – “Hate That I Love You”

A petite-but-gorgeous Filipina/Boricua, Joy featured on MTV's Nick Cannon Presents Wild 'N Out and can be seen in countless print ads and campaigns.

LAUREN LONDON
Notable Videos: Snoop Dogg ft. Pharrell – “Drop It Like it's Hot,” Common ft. Lily Allen – “Drivin' Me Wild,” T.I. – “What You Know

Fresh-faced London is perhaps the most widely-known vixen on this list. She has also appeared in films like ATL and I Love You, Beth Cooper, and a brief arc as one of Turtle's love interests on Entourage. In real life, she is mother to Lil Wayne's son Cameron Carter. Now, widow of the late Nipsey Hussle

I thought it was a bit wack how artists would recycle video chicks. Some of the best looking video models were women that you'd see once, and had no idea who she was.

Kinda had a soft spot for Esther.

I’ll always have a crush on Melyssa Ford. She in my top 3

They’re not underrated at all. Everyone from those days knows the names of these broads

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

They were born a decade too early. Imagine the money they would have made in the last 5-7 years. A couple of them would have probably started thot rap careers and you know they'd be killin it on OnlyFans

Shawty wasn't shyt in ATL lol.

You forgot to add:

- Bria Myles
- Buffie the Body
- Melyssa Ford
- Chessika Cartwright (the dark skinned chick with big t*ts in 50cent’s “Candy Shop - she’s still bad af). I followed her for a while insta & was trying to holla before she went ghost. She was doing some acting/theatre thing back then.

But Esther Baxter will always be the GOAT to me. And she’s still bad af. How did Joe Budden fumble that?
