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

[Barney Rubble]

Blatant commercial/RnB attempts ruining great albums trying to emulate Bad Boy's success.

 

[Zero]

$20-$25 double albums

 

[boogers]

- 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

i hate snoops sellout ass these days too but holding doggystyle against dude is wild

EDIT: AY YO i was making a joke but apparently since they pulled "Gz Up Hoes Down" the original was actually 18 tracks!!!

 

[Damba]

Silk the shocker no rappin ahh

 

[THE 101]

[Knucklehead]

The Hurricane G is live and in color
Watch Out!
We run you muthafukkas!

 

[Deltron]

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.

oh man, jean grae putting like 45 mins of "bonus tracks" on her album was wild

 

[PatCake]

Waiting by the radio for your song to play so you can record it on tape

Buying a CD and realizing all the songs suck, except for one, maybe two.

 

[Knucklehead]

Buying a CD and realizing all the songs suck, except for one, maybe two.

Younger generations will never understand the pain of bringing Immobilarity or Nastradamus to the used CD spot only to be laughed at because they already have 20 copies collecting dust

 

[Art Barr]

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

You need to embrace the broken feel from nine inch nails.
That influenced that move on a deftones album.
That is different from a rap album completely.

[TheMailMan]

Hurricane G features.

She was ok on xz album. She went O'd on puffs tho lol .. rip

 

[Diondon]

Posse cuts with random D+ list nikkas in your crew, posse cuts should be all All-Star caliber talent
The Jadakiss album formula (1 song for the club, 1 song for the chicks, 1 song for the goons, 1 introspective joint)

 

[Phantum]

Those voicemail/sex skits didn't age well

Burning through batteries for your CD walkman

 

[Deadman187]

Sex skits
Remix singles that were better than the album version
