I remember 1997-1999 so vividly, especially the summers. Glued to the TV mesmerized by music videos like Mo Money Mo Problems, Hypnotize, Money Ain't Aint A Thang, Make Em Say Ugh, videos by Missy & Timbo, Busta Rhymes, 2Pac Changes, Wu-Tang Triumph, Outkast Rosa Parks, etc.
The soundtrack of my youth. So many classic songs and videos
Taking nothing away from the Mid 90s though

. The string of albums that dropped from 94-96 is NASSTTY. I was still too young to fully enjoy that time period though. 97-98 is when I really became a Hip-Hop Stan so that era is near and dear to me.
