i feel pretty much the same...nelly, ja rule, cash money, no limit, trick daddy all the commercial pop-rap that was comin out in the late 90s, i usually wasnt really feelin too much. if that shit came out nowadays, it would actually be a breath of fresh air. lookin back, some of that stuff actually seems classic in comparison to the current state of mainstream hip-hop.

I disagree with a lot of the tracks/artists mentioned in this thread. Mase, Ja Rule, Cash Money, No Limit, Trick Daddy and all that shit is wack in any era. I admit they may get a catchy tune every now and then, like Mase first solo album had quality production and a dope sound. But good hip-hop music is more than just a good sound. It's also what the artist stands for, their integrity, and the effect their music has on the life of the listener. Chocolate cake may taste good, but you can't be eating chocolate cake everyday without getting fat and sick. Some of that music may sound good but it's not good for the soul.
So....This song came out shortly after I graduated high school. At the time, I was 19 or 20 and I hated it, but now, in my early 30s, I like it.Even the pop shit like this from back in the day shits on 99% of mainstream hip hop nowadays.If I wouldve known what hip hop would become, videos like the one I posted wouldnt have been so bad back then lol.Anyone else got songs they hated as a kid but like as an adult? Post em up.
It's amazing how close minded some of you are, walling off so many musical contributions because they don't reinforce your current view of the world. I can fuck with almost anything, guess that's cuz I am what Lyin' Brian would call a "citizen of the world" in one of his flawed, hypocritical rants about how he is different from other whites.
