You Know You're An 80s Baby When....

[Roster Player #99]

So we still lettin niggas think they 80s babies because they were born in the 80s?

'Scust

Well.. If u were born in the 80s u likely to be a baby then,no?

Not to shit on the thread. But that's now how the phrase was coined playboy.

What does that mean?

The 80s baby stuff most of the people I'm here are referring is some new jack shit. The term 80s baby (as far as I remember) was coined in this documentary about the people who grew up during the Reagan administration. Basically people who were in school during his shit from grade school up to high school.

I know y'all remember the cheat move on the power pad

I didn't know that move. i'm racing him i'm all running like its real pounding the hell out of it and leaping the track horses this nigga just standing still moving nothing but his heels. I was a chubby lil nigga too. that shit was frustrating lol. next thing you know comes the accusations of cheating then the name calling. next his sister and my sister boosting and instigating the fight next thing you know we throwing blows in the living room lol. 6th grade memories good times!

i remember rap pages though that was my shit. I was introduced to the source in '94 my sister had them right on magazines. damn being in the 8th grade looking at pictures of en vogue with those leopard outfits on plenty moments were spent in the bathroom of that mental image alone.

I think you can qualify If you had an older brother or somebody older that you went through the times with that kept you afloat of what was going on. My bro was '87 but he pretty much knows most of what I went through from '82 being around me all the time.
