:laff:at someone born in 1980 having something in common with someone n 1964. They would 31 and the other in their teens in 1995

Think about it.. If you had older family members keeping you at that time, you listening to the clean music they listened to and watched the appropriate t.v shows they watched. You wouldn't have everything in common though.

I was on heavy westcoast hip hop at the time, but this and Craig Mack helped bring me back
When I was in College, we recuited heavily out of SoCal. Even the brehs from SoCal were rocking with Wu.

When this dropped it was different, it was funky. Then ATLiens dropped and blew the roof off. Outkast was amazing because they reinvented tehir style every album.

Music in general back then was different. Everyone had their own style and flo. Honetly I miss the record store, just hanging out listening to all the new music. I remember walking in and the owner was like Breh.......you go to listen to this...., I met a lot of brehs like that. Some I am still friends with 30 years later.

83’ baby, I didn’t know I was a millennial until like 2006, I always thought I was Gen X growing up in the 90’s. I don’t even think they coined the term millennial until after 2000.

I remember recording this song off the radio on a boombox pressing the record button on a blank cassette tape. December of 93’. Everything coming out back then was classic. Same era as Doggystyle, Midnight Mauraders etc. We used to record all these songs off the radio because our Boomer parents refused to buy us the albums with parental advisory stickers. This was weird for me living in what was one of the most crime ridden hoods in the Bay at the time in the early 90’s. Like, I live around what these nikkas rap about, :whoa:but can’t listen to the unedited version, but Tommy in Potomac, Maryland has all these albums because his parents are liberal cacs. :what:

This song was revolutionary. Nobody sounded like the Wu. 95% of mainstream East Coast Rap in the 90’s before this was mostly alternative socially conscious Jazz Rap that touched on street themes occasionally, but Wu was for the streets in the grimiest fashion.

I memorized all the words to CREAM at age 10. My moms asked me “what’s this song about?” I said “it’s about selling drugs and going to jail”.:birdman: Moms was like :wtf:
