How was the early 2000s?

[fdub]

Now looking back. 98-2002 was some real good years! i was 11-15 years old. Rap Music was at it's golden times during that year. The Def Jam 2000 era and the Cash Money era was pretty dope as well. Back then, people were ACTUALLY buying cd's at the store. I was on music videos heavy at the time. Also, back then , you would hear new songs on the radio compared to the internet. In 2001 we got the internet for the first time and it was cable connection, which was relatively new at the time. We were hyped that we could be on the phone land-line on the internet at the same time..LOL! I feel so nostalgic reading these posts lol.

I had one of those and thought I was doing it, but it was stainless steel.

This thread had me listening to Juvenile's first two albums on my drive home from work.

Very memorable time for me. I was in High School around that time.Everything being said in this thread was true. I still think the 90's were a lot more fun. Communication is probably the biggest difference from then and now.

This sums it up on the most real and depressing way. 00's was the last decade where you actually met people face to face and you FELT things towards them because you were communicating in their presence. Everything you did was in real time. With technology now, I feel like no one ever really invests themselves in anything they do anymore.

 

[Peep Game]

^You ain't lying about that. Even something as simple as remembering someone's phone numberand individually typing the #'s in instead of just scrolling through the contacts and hitting call, that's a little thing I miss doing

 

[polo sport nyc]

[GTA 809]

Best of both worlds.
Technology was just bubbling, but we also had fun in person too.

I feel like the generation before me didnt have the luxury of social media/smartphones and the generation after me feels more comfortable talking to a monitor than face to face. My generation hit that sweet spot.

DSR

Life before smart phones and social media was great. About to take it back to the golden era.
