Best of both worlds.
Technology was just bubbling, but we also had fun in person too.

I feel like the generation before me didnt have the luxury of social media/smartphones and the generation after me feels more comfortable talking to a monitor than face to face. My generation hit that sweet spot.

That's because we weren't bombarded with fake, plastic, obnoxious @#$ back then :smh: Booties were natural and proportionate :smokin

These days I just assume everything is fake, so I can't even enjoy them. Thanks a lot Angel Lola Luv or w/e the @#$% her stupid @#$ name is, yea I'm mad


Anyway, my Cali heads know what's up

Nike Cortez
Dickies in every color
Tall Tees in every color, with a contrasting tall tee underneath :x
Beyond Baggy Anchor Blue Jeans with rubber banded bottoms
Mid top AF1s with the loose straps
Those white Hawaiian necklaces
hoodies with t shirts over them :x :lol:
K Swiss
Stuffed Chuck Taylors with extra socks
Rolled down Chuck Taylors
Adidas Forums
The Spongebob watches from Burger King (wearing kiddie @#$% with your hood attire was a big thing here in the Bay :lol: )
Extra small Jansport backpacks with NOTHING in them :lol:
Swishy track pants
Honda belt buckles
Those fabric belts with tips that used to hang down below your shirt (hard to describe)


I realize now that I dressed like a typical grimy cholo back then, and I understand why I got no yambs in my 70% white high school until I smartened up senior year :x :lol:

. Used to wear a tiny Jansport extremely tight to my back. Thing looked made my XXL tee look like a parachute. All white AF1's and some Sean Jean jeans and that was a typical day in my life back then. Im glad that was before smartphones, so there arent many pics of me looking foolish as hell 
 
- Sprewells on the whips
- Anything less then the nike swingman jersey was unacceptable (my jersey game was sick, folks in school thought I moved dope my jersey game was so clean. If only I had the confidence and game back then that I do now I would have been destroying yams with the swiftness)
- Watching Pokemon and playing the game (the charizord holographic :pimp:)
- Cash money was running part of the game. Had us wearing bandannas everywhere
- J-Lo or Ashanti on any track was a hit
- Velour everything
- Phat Farm, Akademks, Enyce, Iceberg
- Freestyle battles (professional and against your boys)
 
Lots of revisionist history in here, IMO.

Mainstream hip hop was already dead in this era - this was actually a really terrible era for music. The golden age of hip hop was '87 - 94... I could be persuaded to extend that to '96. The late 90s and early 2000s was a pretty good time for "underground" and independent hip hop, as the emergence of the internet gave exposure to a lot of artists, but at the same time it wasn't so wide open as it is today, so any Tom, **** and Harry wasn't doing it. The scene then actually had a lot of talented dudes who were actually bringing something different to the table, as opposed to emulating it.

...I guess if you're from the South or Midwest, you might remember this time more fondly because your area started to get a bit more shine, but overall, we wouldn't be missing much if none of that happened at all.

The first half of the 90s was really when things were sweet - especially from an NYC perspective. Pre-Guiliani. Pre "quality of life" movement. NYC was still a playground - and there was a freshness and diversity among the urban culture. Look at all the stuff that came from the late 80s to early 90s that endured - you have sneakers and Polo pieces from that era that command 10 times what they were priced at back then. What has endured from the late 90s - early 2000s? Am I missing all the 400 page Iceberg, and Chris Webber Dada threads?

Hip Hop is dead is lame; Nas got y'all brainwashed

Just because it changed and people don't like it, doesn't mean it's dead
 
Call it what you want. The hip hop that was played on the radio has been lame for almost 20 years.
