How was the early 2000s?

[panaricanretro]

Early 2000s was kinda ill but kinda weird at the same time. I guess I should say post-911 is where **** got weird but overall like someone said earlier, it was the perfect balance of technology vs social interaction. There was like a progression. I remember meeting chicks in MySpace, then they want to do AIM chat, then you progress to texting, then the next big step was talking on the phone, then y'all finally meet, then you get her pregnant and walk out of her life. There was just a nice flow to it all.

You used to use tech to organize social activities, now the tech is the social activity, or if you're out with people everyone's on their phones half the time. It's just different. Not bad, but different. It was just simpler and when you went out you truly embraced those moments more than I think we do now.

NT was lit tho. Don't even get me started.

Tip drill tame these days.... 2 live crew damn near afternoon programing now.

Pretty much. When you have chicks on snapchat poppin *** and inhaling the porterhouse, that other stuff may as well be reading a newspaper

I feel u on da tech..

I used to love it when AIM was still ubiquitous...cuz once u sign on these broads was wanting to be talked to. TXT i would only use as voicemail, and call would only do for emergency and business.

That sidekick tmail was jumpin....

Oh ****.

 

[crod6926]

I actually enjoyed talking to people then. Now with Fb messenger I cringe when there is a message.

When Vince Mcmahon threw his hat in the football ring and created this

I still have one of these footballs lol.

 

[TimelessClassic]

XFL should have been scripted. Can you imagine every game coming down to the last play, refs actually cheating for real, players turning heel, etc. Would have been lit!!

That was one of the craziest gambles I've ever seen in business....

Going against the giant that was the NFL, with all these crazy ideas too. I remember that one dudes jersey that said HE HATE ME on the back

that first play to determine opening possession
the scramble
definitely much safer than kickoffs




my buddy went to the sf demons gm and he was telling me how cheerleaders were basically shakin and twerkin in the stands
til this day, he still thinks the fan experience at xfl gms is better than nfl

i respek vince for trying to get in the gm, even though he lost a whole bunch of money

Whatever happened to DJ Clue?

Him and Fab had the mixtape circuit on fire

Damn mixtapes aren't the same now they're all polished and album-sounding...**** used to be full of random drops and loud *** talking

Maaaaan I used to hate those kazaa downloads where you think it's the album version of the song, then midway through blasting your eardrums out comes DJ CLUE!!!!! YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS NAHHMEAN!!!!

It was a pain downloading like 12 different files just tryin to find the one without the DJ shoutout bull on it. Funkmaster flex was thee worst!

Also, that platinum jewelry phase was . If you were a rapper and had gold anything you got clowned hard. I remember arguing about who had the top 10 grills back in 04 or 05 and that determined your skill as a rapper

Like ok you can say your name. But to say it and have it echo for 45 mins? Nahh

Or downloading a song and midway through it would hit you with some "property of _______ records."

Or the song would start, you'd think you were good and 30 seconds in it would just be static and fuzz. Seeder trolls.

 

[dman14]

remember using winmx and mIRC (mainly for the pron)
