This thread is funny. Who sounds how they sounded 17 years ago.? Very few people.
Look how "lighter" jay voice sounds here. It's timestamped.
Look how he sounds here. It's more "heavier" and you hear the Brooklyn accent more. It's timestamped.
The man in the first video has traveled more, seen more, been exposed to more. Of course he sounds somewhat different. I'm NOT making the argument you should talk lighter depending who is in the room (but do you talk to babies how you talk to your homies?), but people's voices and inflections change over the years. Hell he isnt even crossing his legs the same anymore lol.
