Let me clarify my point. Personally, at that age, I knew Al Green, MJ, Teddy Pendergrass, Prince, Chaka Khan, Teena Marie, etc. My youngins (16 & 20) would know Motown Philly. They might fuk around and know it's by Boyz II Men.

90s and 00s rap & R&B was played heavily in our household, and in their adolescence. I felt it was my duty, to make sure they knew, what House Party, Class Act, The Last Dragon, meant. I explain to my youngins, what the Only You (remix), or Mo Money, Mo Problems meant, when I was their age (in Junior High). I restore the feelin. :ufdup:

shyt..The Goonies, The Lost Boys, and cac shyt, too. Nonetheless...that's how we did it. You best believe theres folks, who only bumped current shyt around their kids, and never put them on, to Jodeci, or Tony Tone Toni, etc. But we're a different generation of parents. Nggas were 14, 15 in the late 90s havin babies already (in junior high). That wasn't the norm, in our parents generation.

You gotta remember...our parents (likely baby boomers) were OLDER parents (old souls). Kids today are being raised by kids (at heart/culturally). It's a difference.

Yeah, like I know of the warriors, the lost boys, I also knew of previous gen's of rap an somewhat RnB as well (Rick james, marvin gaye etc)

Another angle could be if you were 6 years old when the Coli formed, you are 15-16 years old now in high school

Those kids barely even know Chief Keef or Gucci Mane

By the time End of the Road came around, it became an obscure song.

:gucci:

They came out 1 Year apart and appeared on the SAME album.​


Why the push back when you later wind up saying the same thing I said? :dead:


Yeah, that track got played-out REAL quick. There was too much New Jack Swing piff for that song to remain
popular for as long as it was, IMO.

Haven't played it, personally, since maybe the end of the 90's.​
