well, u know - back in the 90's and early 00's, if u wanted to have music - u had to actually go out n buy a physical record n bring it home.
it was differnet back then. i actually remember those times

WTF???  Napster was huge back then, circa when Tha Eastsidaz dropped.  You did NOT have to go to the store back then.
"Detox" is a myth -- Bigfoot, Loch Ness Monster, Area 51, Iraq having WMD, Detox...you get it now?  It was invented by the Aftermath marketing department to maintain the fans' attention.  Notice how everytime a new Aftermath album is ready to come out, they always mention Detox is next up?  Because they are using the invention of "Detox" as a way to market other albums.  The sooner you realize that Detox is NOT REAL, the sooner you'll feel liberated.  Oh yeah, f.u. Aftermath for fooling us fans.

still wasnt that popular. i think on average people used limewire bearshare and what not more around 2004-2005. im glad this album went platinum . the industry needs to go back to those days. somebody needs to get smart nd fuk up all piratebay demonoid servers like they did ps3 online and have nobody illegally downloading anything.

then these real rappers can come out with new inspiration n all.

It wasn't really that crazy. It was just the type of music that was popular at the time.

Napster was fucking HUGE in 2000, I think that's when they peaked, then they were sued and became a legal downloading outlet and KaZaa took over. People weren't downloading like nowadays but that's when the industry started freaking out. I remember back in '01 there was an Eastsidaz - Deuces & Trayz ad on Napster btw lol.

Most albums that went platinum back in the 90's/early 00's wouldn't have went platinum if they were released today.

It's a sign of the times...

Yeah, I was happy to see that the first Eastsidaz album went platinum.  Snoop had really found himself again around 99-2001 and the West Coast had a little bit of a revival during that period.   Xzibit's Restless LP was another album I was really happy to see go platinum during that period. 

Platinum West Coast albums from that time...

Eastsidaz
Xzibit- Restless LP
Snoop-  The Last Meal
Dr. Dre- 2001
