Things you don't miss from the 90's-00's era

[chuckifubuck]

- 18 track albums with 5 skits, one of wich is just the rapper and a chick making sex sounds
- Dudes just spelling words out. I never found this shyt impressive

 

[Ashtrey]

Definitely the useless skits ie. Voicemails on Diplomatic Immunity

Bonus tracks at the end of CD albums where you had to wait like 2 mins to get to the bonus tracks ie. Jay-Z Blueprint.

 

[Groundworks]

The Extra baggy clothing. My scrawny 14 year old ass wearing XXL white tees and jeans with enough fabric you could make a parachute of them shyts. I just look back at old photos and laugh. Back then tho that was the shyt.

 

[Awesome Wells]

Definitely albums with 18+ tracks.

Even in the real time, that was just too many damn songs. Especially when a lot of those albums had mad filler and would've been higher quality with less songs.

 

[PUT IN WORK]

The shiny suit era was just horrible.I do miss a good soundtrack album.

 

[Overpss]

Filler tracks on double discs

 

[Baka's Weird Case]

Definitely the useless skits ie. Voicemails on Diplomatic Immunity

Bonus tracks at the end of CD albums where you had to wait like 2 mins to get to the bonus tracks ie. Jay-Z Blueprint.

it was even worse in other genres

theres a deftones album where you have to listen to 15 minutes of silence, listen to a 20-second bong rip, listen to another 15 minutes of silence, and then you get to hear the actual bonus song

benzino albums

 

[Tribal Outkast]

Skits with dudes having sex in them. Imagine riding around blasting that shyt

 

[TrapHouse Rock]

Even worse than the sex skits was sex noises right in the MIDDLE of the damn song
ESP back in the cassette days

I forgot one day and got my ass whopped blasting this shyt in my room cause it was first track on the album and I forgot about it
right in the middle Billy Lawrence starts moaning loud and screaming "love daddy"

 

[Playaz Eyez]

Have to echo the sentiments about the sex skits.

Also, as far as skits in general, I don’t mind them, but please have them separate from the song. I loathe a 45 second skit at the very beginning of a song.

Sort of a sidecar to the 18+ song albums thing, I really dont miss paying anywhere from 10 to 20 bucks (depending where you went, whether it was new or used, whatever) after only having heard 1-3 dope songs or maybe a feature here and there and then the 18 track album ends up having just one or two good songs on it and the rest is or just barely above trash level. Being able to play a whole album now before deciding to buy is a major improvement over the old days

Cosign on sex skits, that shyt was stupid

1. Burning CDs…

Shyt takes too long.

Good thing, we still have AUX cords and Bluetooth compatibility

Honorable mention:

Having to record an episode of your TV show.

I like streaming in this era now definitely because back then if u missed a key episode and then missed a encore repeat, u were out of luck and wasn’t gonna see that episode for years…a couple years at that

Thats how I felt missing Digimon episodes back then when they aired on Fox Kids. Thank God for Toon Disney and ABC Family.
