Damn. 1999 was a good year. 1999 in 10 minutes.

that "steal my susnshine" was just in my head too.

remember when everyone was scared of Y2K? Like legitimately everyone in the world thought the Earth would end and the computers would either take over like the matrix or all electronic devices would stop working like that show Revolution. It was worse than the whole 2012 scare. Then nothing happened and soooo many preachers and survivalists were like

.....i swear its alot of households in america still drinking water bottles that they stocked up on in 1999.

slip-on And 1 sneakers. being too poor to cop the KG's.

NBA Live, Tekken 2 (i think at this time),

AOL chatrooms (a/s/l?)

Surfing porn websites simply by wacking off to various "free tours". Mind you these sites were only pics and you still had to wait a couple minutes before the pics showed up.

Napster, Kazaa, start downloading songs before you go to sleep and hope the songs are done when you get up for school so you can burn a CD and bring it to class.

Going to the library and printing out hundreds of pages just pics of various Pokemon. Printing out hundreds of pages of rap lyrics for you and your friends to memorize and rap at lunchtime like ya'll came up with them.

Soooo much fun stuff.

I was in the 11th Grade. Got my license pushing my dads Brand new Expedition.

Life was so simple back then.
 


97 was not as memorable as 99 but had numerous songs and trends that were very unique. I was back in elementary school and pokemon was blowing up!
 
1999 was also the year jfk jr died in that plane crash. I remember that was a HUGE story throughout the summer of 99'.

I was a bus boy and it was a Saturday morning that I worked lunches, I was in at 10am to set up and it was all over the TV

Remember it like it was yesterday
 
Damn I remember 1999 so vividly.

Got dreamcast on the release date and I was the only one in school to have it right away. :smile:

Was whippin *** in NFL 2k while eating dunkaroos.. :smokin

Wow in NFL2k (since it came out in 1999), it was Peyton Manning's second year in the league.

Damn I'm old. lol
 
Damn some babies in here. '99 was EPIC!!! 3rd year of college. Turned 21 that year. I remember going to 7-11 to buy my 1st 6 legal 6 pack and, didn't get carded!!! Bought my 1st brand new car, Chevy Malibu, STILL own that car. YAMBS game was bubblin'. Hit Vegas for Y2K new year, no F's given. Lakers were gettin squad up. Had a legit FTL connect, miss those friends & family pillagings. In my opinion was kind of a golden age for hip-hop...Dilated peoples, J5, Big Pun, Mos Def, Em, etc.

Worse thing was that my grandpa, that raised me passed...R.I.P.
 
Finally decided to see what this thread was about and I almost shed a tear watching that vid.

'99 was a great year indeed.

In fact, any year before the era of "fast internet" was a good year.

Brb, gonna go watch TLC, blink182, and Og Britney Spears music vids on youtube...:smokin

Memories...memories everywhere...:lol:

I seriously wouldn't mind traveling back in time to spend a week in the mid to late 90s.

99 was my first year of H.S. and I was out with a knee injury

Lakers were swept by the Spurs and went on to destroy the knicks. The music was not as good either :smh:
