Lackluster Yayo aka Butler Benson (shoutout to those who remember the Yayo Report)

Man some of y'all got some of the best years. My senior year was so trash outside of Food & Liquor, thats the year snap music ran shit. It wasnt til September where I started my freshmen year of college that Ye's Graduation came out and soon American Gangster and The Cool. But I cant claim those albums. Fuck my life and my class of 2007.

Lol I'm class of '07, I remember motherfuckers 2 stepping at prom. Walking it out too

02/03 started it off with The Blueprint 2 and God's Son. Then a lil bit later we got Get Rich Or Die Tryin'. Got Philadelphia Freeway during the year too. Diplomatic Immunity, 8 Mile Soundtrack, and a lot of other dope shit. Good year musically. High School from 00-03 was poppin for real. Especially if you lived in NY because of the Roc/D-Block and Jay/Nas beef alone.

2009-2010 was a terrible year for hiphop

 

[dwade206]

It was garbage. Ja Rule was on top of the charts, niggas were wearing paper towels for headbands, and Nelly was Hip Hop's golden child.

@Rahlow and @5Grand i was born in 1990 lol but on some real shit was Tribes debut album big when it dropped in 90' did not not have as much of an instant success until a few years later?

Well, before A Tribe Called Quest you had De La Soul and The Jungle Brothers. They were all on a song called "Buddy (Remix)" so we were expecting Peoples Instinctive Travels and The Paths Of Rhythm when it dropped. AS far as I remember it, it came out in the summer of 1990, which for me was the summer between 11th and 12th grade. I thought the beats were dope but honestly, they weren't saying anything and that kinda took away from the music.

As far as singles go, the first single was actually "Description of a Fool" which was a dud and didn't have a video. The next single was "I Left My Wallet In El Segundo" which was pretty wack imo. Then they released "Bonita Applebaum" along with the remix which was hot. Then the 4th single was "Can I Kick It" b/w "If The Papes Come" which was the first song to use that Lou Donaldson sample that everybody would later use. "If the Papes Come" wasn't on the album, it was just the b-side to "Can I Kick It".

To answer your question, the first album made some noise, but the second album made more noise. They stopped being so damn abstract on the second album and just gave the fans what we wanted, some good ass Hip Hop. The second LP got 5 mics. I can remember when the second Lp came out, when "Scenario" came on at a club everybody would start jumping up and down and getting wild and rowdy..

yeah i fucks with the low end theory. i start my day at work following up with emails usually listening to an album for the first 45 mins while sending reply emails and logging shit in our database (today was illmatic). Either thursday's or friday's i listen thru low end theory front to back for that 45-50 mins.

niggas was fuckin with that 50 shit pretty heavy still ... I remember I had a pair of them g-unit sneakers

Woooooo these shits was hot ass fire back then

My nigga Yeezy was getting ready to drop CD and that "Slow Jams" and that Usher "Confessions" had the girls in the rallies feelin right ...

Since I'm from Northern Cali niggas was fckin with that Hyphy real hard at the time that 7-0-7 shit from the federation


^^^^ Bunch of amped up kids off this shit...lol ..problems

I remember we still had local hiphop radio ...it wasn't some bought out playlist yet ...we had actual radio personalities we had a late night mix show that used to play a bunch of underground shit from different areas ....that's the first time I heard Rass Kass "Nature of The Threat" ....The radio station used to play full albums before they dropped like Flex Hogan does and all that....smh what our local radio has turned into now ...

Mase was getting ready to make a comeback

I was fucking with that N.E.R.D "Fly or Die" album real heavy

And this shit changed the game

Also since Kanye was the hot producer at the time ...hunting his beats down lead me to fucking with Slum Village "Detriot Deli" a little harder and that Dialated People's "Neighborhood Watch" joint too..

Overall pretty good IMO

But that's were I was at when I was 16/17 as I got older I went back I realized all the hot ass fire that got dropped during that time like

Cee-lo Green The Soul Machine

The Pretty Toney Album

The Grey Album

Murs 3:16
