Hop in this time machine with me....

[Peep Game]

Already mentioned in the Rap About Nothing Hip Hop Chat Timeline Thread, just posting various stuff from old XXL mags I have. Just started taking a bunch of pics and it brought back a lot of memories, and put me right back in that mindstate. I'll just post a few right now and come back with some others later. I'll also put a handful of these in spoilers to avoid people's phones crashing

These year-end Love/Hate issue mags were some of my favorite ones to buy.

@ them hating the Outta Control Remix. **** was fire.

Papoose's bars

That Nelly song

The Timbaland vs Scott Storch beef was actually entertaining to me Tim going at him on Give It To Me

I've never actually read any of these, and I'm pretty sure they went under pretty fast.

I know @ninjahood will appreciate this. Totally forgot about her.

Spoiler

Lacey Duvalle was the first chick in flicks I remember getting a fake butt, but Lola Monroe was the first chick in the mainstream I remember getting on of these ant booties (until Kim K got hers)

Spoiler

Well this can't be any more ironic in 2019

G-Unit really had the game in a stranglehold, including XXL magazine it was in the latter years I realized how slighted XXL was towards Shady/Aftermatch/Interscope/G-Unit (

)

I used to get The Source for free for years somehow. I bought it one year for $12 and then I got it for years after that year.

Still mad that Cuban Link album didn’t come out.

DO IT!

And it definitely ain't the same now, I think XXL and Source puts out mags every couple of months are so, but it's a far cry from what it used to be. It's simply a different time period.

Speaking of good ol Eye Candy

Spoiler

I was completely sprung and head over heels for Buffie The Body after the So Seductive video....until I actually met her in 2007 .

 

[a blinkin]

What happened when you met her?

 

[Hoodrich Laflare]

BTB, Summer Walker, and Ester

 

[Peep Game]

What happened when you met her?

Hearing her talk, she seemed dumber than a box of rocks, and she was mentioning how she was maintaining her *** shots (which at that period wasn't really discussed at all), and that was really fantasy killing. Plus to hear her talk about that, and years later having youtube videos pushing her book talking about "being all natural" was just

this was at a barber/beauty shop in front of various people too, so thinking back, it was pretty odd for her to be talking about getting *** shots so publicly like that.

It’s ****ing crazy how regular her *** seems now. IG thots, strippers, and bottle girls done ruined me.

I called my aunt last night to ask if my uncle still had his gang of magazine, and she said she threw them out "waaaaaay back" cause she "got tired of seeing those old things everywhere"
