2003 = The Last Memorable Year For Urban Music

[mozichrome]

if you dont remember any of music from then, is it still memorable?

i was more of a state property guy thru most of the year, but dipset was on their heels.

then by the end of the year when i copped that "diplomats vs dblock" tape, i never looked back. thats the first time i heard "purple city byrd gang", "get em girls" and a bunch of other chit that basically flipped my hip-hop world upside down. that was my introduction to JR Writer as well.

i was more of a dipset guy my older brother was a camron fan so he put me up on dipset.

Thats to me when things started to dip

meh.

things really started to dip in 2001. it just became more apparent by 2003, even tho 2003 was a better year.

 

[Wacky D]

2002 was the last year where people were dropping the likes of God's Son, Blueprint II, A Gangsta and a Gentlemen, Aziatic, etc. That was the last real notable years in music.

2004 came close with the old NY guard making its last set of albums before the south took over 100%. When Nas, Jada, Ghostface, Banks, Cam'ron, Jim Jones, Cormega, Fab, Ma$e, and the rest of them were dropping and fighting the last stand of dominant NY artists.

2003 >>> 2002

no classic albums in 2002. it was a preview of things to come.

2004 was when the mainstream became a joke, and mixtapes had to keep everything alive.

I'd say 05 or 06 is when shyt started to decline.

03 and 04 provided so much piff it still amazes me.

'05 & '06 is when it just started getting scary. still solid years tho.

started dying in '07.

dead by '08.

thats how i would describe it.

So all them albums by East coast artists in 2004 were wack?

THE ORIGINAL LEAN BACK

 

[the rhyme king]

2006 was the last good year. but it was far from memorable.

they had some gems like clipse hell hath and az the format album but other then that that shyt was frisby satus.

 

[Jone2three45]

back when east coast was on top. I miss that era we still had culture then, even if it was bad.

I agree. 2004 was the end for me. Wow...how time flies.

 

[Newark88]

What We Do dropped in the fall of 02 right?

I remember it dropping around September. Just when i had to go back to school. So yeah.

 

[really]

i did a similar thread, but i think that was on

and i know one of the homies did somewhat of a thread like this not too long ago.

but this is the official tissue joint right here.

10 year anniversary of the last year worth remembering. the last year with classic albums. the last year with alot of stuff. but we'll get into all that.

yall know what to do.

2003 was the last GOAT year, but as far as last memorable, gotta go with 2005:


The Massacre
Late Registration
50 / Game beef
Game Debut album
Young Jeezy taking over



Can't just brush this shyt aside
