“I think 2 albums define the era: Dr. Dre - The Chronic & Nevermind - Nirvana; those 2 albums by themselves held the 90’s together IMO” Idalis DeLeon

My sister had the tape and my mom caught me listening to

those were good times

 

[I love Latina women]

those were good times

They damn sure were

Beat was CRAZY!!

That's what I love the most about the record. Now that I'm older, I always feel mad awkward saying the lyrics though! So I still listen to it, but mostly on headphones, like this..

Yeah, N*ggazfalife is a mess to listen to as an adult. Ren was buggin' on the whole album! HAHA!!

When I was a kid, I thought it was funny, now it's like...

 

[jerzboy]

Ny Nikkas about to come in here mad

“B-but ready to die, b-but Illmatic”

I’m a Nas stan, but even I know the impact of the Chronic. People also have to think about the height of mtv becoming a thing. Dre’s videos were all over that.

 

[papa pimp]

if I had to pick a definitive rock album for the 90s it's Loveless from My Bloody Valentine

goated

 

[maxamusa]

I remember I saw some documentary where DRE was TURNING UP to some some on never mind

 

[jerzboy]

Yup

Those albums were cultural shifts in the music and society at that time




Exactly

And that’s what so many who talk about sales these days always don’t understand.

They miss the whole part about the impact albums like The Chronic and Nevermind had and I think it’s because they’re either too young to remember or weren’t born yet and now are looking back at it with 2025 eyes with just going by how much an album sold.

lol this… people in here talking musical technicality, sales, etc…. That’s not what impact is solely about lol

 

[TheDarceKnight]

Not that crazy of a statement. Not mad at it.

Definitely the early 90's especially

 

[bobbiewishbone]

Saw a doc where those hair metal dudes said they first heard that Seattle grunge sound and was like

Yeah, a lot of people of a younger generation reliance to only focus on sales blinds their ability to understand impact

But then again, how could they really understand it if they didn’t live in; they either weren’t born yet or too young to know how impactful these albums were in real time so they rely on looking back at how much the albums sold and then form an opinion on the album based solely on that

Facts.

That's because they Google the sales. For impact, you have to have actually been there. Can't Google that.

And that's how they expose themselves.

Exactly

That’s why when I see people bring up sales whenever impact is being talked about I just shake my head lol
