Next single = "Basketball" (2002)"Too Hood" is a song by American
R&B singer Monica. It was penned byBryan Michael Cox , Harold Lilly,Jermaine Dupri and Monica for her original third studio album, "All Eyez on Me" (2002), and was produced by guest rapper Dupri, featuring additional production by Cox. In September 2002 (see2002 in music ), the song was released as the album's second single, following the medicore chart success of the album's title song "All Eyez on Me."cite web|author=Nekesa Mumbi Moody|date=2003-06-27|title="Monica triumphs over tragedy "After the Storm"|work=Enquirer|url=http://www.enquirer.com/editions/2003/06/27/tem_0627monica.html|accessdate=2007-06-01] Unlike its predecessor, however, the track saw minimal success on the charts, and thus amusic video was never produced. The lukewarm response to both singles eventually resulted into the reconstruction of the same-titled album, which received a Japan-wide release only and was subsequently retooled into a new version. Branded "After the Storm " (2003), "Too Hood" was later included on a limited bonus disc on the re-worked album.Credits and personnel
