You really forgot the impact of No Limit Records at the time. They were huge, releasing over 20 albums In 98 alone. All going gold, platinum or multi-plat(not that you had to list them all). How did you forget to add notable releases like Master P's "Ghetto D" or his movie and soundtrack "Im Bout It" is ridiculous. No Limit had the biggest impact In 97 and 98, and the numbers show that.

Where the fuck is Gangstarr? They released Moment of Truth in '98 and that had "You Know My Steez" and "The Militia". THE F'N MILITIA! Listen to that song right now. Freddy Foxx rips that shit at the end and it still holds up to this day.

The 90's was the shit! Music television and movies. I miss it. Reading this brought back memories that I'm fond of. There will be no other rapper greater the Biggie ever again. Hip Hop was at an all time high, its not the same right now. Some body bring the 90's back!!!!!

"Don't Mess With Texas" & "Ocean Of Funk" where instant classics, man this shit about to make me sad bcuz I miss the shit out of those days. That was my high school and college years so it was poppin like a muthafucka!

PLATINUM ERA(EVERYONE MIGHT NOT HAVE SOLD PLATINUM BUT EVERYONE WAS PUTTING OUT PLATINUM TYPE MUSIC COMPARED TO TODAY!)
Pac:Me Against The Word(falling into that zone)
All Eyez On Me(in that zone)
Makaveli(blacked out/by then had industry ni99az shooked)
BIG:Life After Death(is when I first starting feeling BIG Ready To Die was too East Coast)
Snoop:DoggyStyle(after this album ni99a never been the same)
Nas:It Was Written(to me some of his best work)
UGK:SuperTight(perfect title that album was super tight)
Ridin Dirty(classic shit kept me riding dirty cuz I always burned my blunts to that cd.)

I could go on all day about back then but that's just a quick trip down memory lane it's plenty more but a ni99a get emotional thing about the good ole days.LOL Anybody else got some shit to add do so.

richie sick — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 10:19:45 GMT

yeah, it's funny. we generation xers feel about the 80s and 90s the same way baby boomers feel about the 60s. and the era we livin in now will be considered the best by this next generation coming up. niggas gone be talkin bout "man, remember when the internet was like this, or that. wish it was the same now!" that's history for you.
