Dope music and the last true exciting period in hip hop for me.

With relief that its over

Seriously. They ran gangsta rap to the point where it became predictable and even made Eminem from great into just a good MC in that time period. They raised that bullshyt beefs and ruined NY on top of ending the street dominated era. The only thing I hated more is them damn wiggers that gassed up Fif like he is better than the likes of Nas, Jada, Jigga, and Kanye. Them XXL magazine covers made me go :what: every damn month.
i would say it ended around 2008 with terminate on sight. not 2005 when they were clearly still on top and or near it.

T.O.S to me was one of those "be careful what you wish for" for me because i wasnt crazy about the gunit era but what ushered in afterwards made me wish it was still them. I enjoyed the fukkery and antics of the unit truth be told. Then everything turned into a fukking love festival.

Well, for every action, there is a negative reaction. The excessive beefs made the public tired of them. That is why the wack ass artists, mostly from the south, dominated at that time cause people wanted to party and hated all the problems that Fif had with other people for the sake of selling records.

Aside from the fact I think 'Pateiently Waiting' is painfully dated, and hard to listen too at this point, I concede it's at least a solid track, and was def. somewhat of a game changer type track when it dropped...but what other 50/Em collabs, besides 'Spend Some Time', and the one from 'Encore', were dope? 'Gatman & Robin'? What was that garbage one from 'Curtis'? LOL....'Peep Show'...remember that shyt?
