Jennifer Lopez - All I Have ft. LL Cool J (2002) Director: Dave Meyers Era: Post-Millennial R&B/Hip-Hop Crossover (2002–2003) - Peak of the pop-R&B-rap fusion era driven by genre-straddling collaborations and TRL-era MTV dominance High curatorial value as a confirmed chart-topping artifact of the early-2000s pop-R&B crossover zenith. The video documents the collaborative star power of two major artists at commercial peaks, directed by one of the era's most decorated music video directors. Its New York City grounding, warm tungsten visual grammar, and moderate-pace narrative editing make it a textbook representative of the early-HD R&B video format. Essential for archives covering 2002–2003 Billboard history, J.Lo's visual identity, and Dave Meyers' directorial catalogue. Context: Released December 14, 2002 as the second single from Jennifer Lopez's third studio album 'This Is Me... Then', 'All I Have' arrived at the apex of the pop-R&B-rap crossover era. The song reached number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 for four weeks (week of January 30, 2003), giving Lopez her fourth number-one and LL Cool J his first, before being displaced by 50 Cent's 'In da Club'. Billboard later ranked it the 15th most successful song on the Hot 100 of 2003 and the 34th Biggest Duet of All Time (2011). The video, shot in New York City, Lopez's hometown, grounds the track's breakup narrative in an urban realist aesthetic consistent with the Bronx-pride identity Lopez cultivated throughout this era. Its heavy rotation on MTV, VH1, and BET made it a defining visual artifact of early-2000s crossover pop. Director notes: The music video for 'All I Have' was directed by Dave Meyers and shot in New York City in November 2002, per the Jennifer Lopez Wiki (jenniferlopez.fandom.com). The video is confirmed via IMDb (imdb.com/title/tt6833706/), IMVDb (imvdb.com/video/jennifer-lopez/all-i-have), and IMDb full credits (imdb.com/title/tt6833706/fullcredits/). The video was produced by Ron Mohrhoff. Lopez and LL Cool J portray ex-lovers in the narrative, as reported by MTV News at the time. The video became one of the most played clips on MTV, VH1, and BET following the single's release on December 14, 2002.
