Mine too. Perfectly showcased Ray J as an artist. That was his pocket, cause he really could not sing. He had another song that he was singing in the rain, can't remember the name right now though, that was great.
In 2009 I was fading out of the mainstream rap after seeing Notorious in theaters and around that time I was expanding my musical growth in the rock/Metal scene and the underground hip hop scene in my late teen years
If you were partying at HBCU's or in Cali around this time you knew more of their songs. They weren't all mainstream but they had the right crowd and audience at the time.
@@SODMGGOKU yessir stepped out of the jerking phase right into the preppy phase 😂 fuckin Sperrys, Abercrombie, American Eagle, Hollister. That was a cringe time too!
@@SODMGGOKU tbh I still buy most of my jeans from American Eagle lol. It’s good clothes! I just can’t wear the stuff that has “HOLLISTER” or “AERO” plastered right across is like a college T
I feel like the only rappers that survived that 1st generation of internet rappers is lil b (SOLID cult fan base, trailblazed the DIY rapper through RU-vid thing after souljaboy and drops consistently now whether if its actually good or not is opinionated lol) wiz khalifa (blew up n really the STAR of that era and stayed relevant since) and curren$y (stayed underground but consistently drop’s quality)
Yeah I was a big follower of them at the end of high school/beginning of college. One of their most streamed songs is actually FM$. They had a mixtape called the Foolie Tape in 2012 that was decent and introduced me to Dizzy Wright. They broke up shortly after that. When they hit they hit, but when they didn't their music was slick terrible lol. I think they had a great run for what they were. They were able to pull out about 5 hit songs when other groups/acts similar to them usually get 1. Legacy had a song in 2014 called "Schemin" that I still play today, and that's about it.
For good or bad I guess, but you're right. They absolutely don't get the credit for changing the culture. Dude's even stopped wearing all the baggy ass clothes and now we all pretty much wear skinny jeans. At least they were ONE of the influences. But yeah, I remember actual ass dance battles in High school where we formed a huge circle and did Jerk dance battles 💀💀😭. But I'm not gonna lie, this was my Sophomore year and it was ABSOLUTELY FIRE 😂
they had a couple songs and was never serious. the clothes from that time was crazy, i remember the rue 21, polo, hot topic, skinny jeans era. By 2010 we was on Wiz Khalifa, J Cole, Drake, Wale and Kendrick . Then dubstep came and went. i hated that shit.
Yg was the only artist to elevate from the jerk era, turned jerk music into ratchet music and thats how the Westcoast stormed back onto the music scene.
The group UNI, had a song called beautiful day, that I use til this day as my alarm. Also, the kid Daytona from new york I believe. Had a song "Never be the same" that made some waves.
They were 4 that young generation at the time I was coming outta high school and it was lit party wise...I'm not gonna lie though I been seeing the young kids on tik tok kinda bringing this wave back (because this wave is old school to them)
IDC about them either. I don't give New Boyz credit for being the ones to get nigg@s wearing skinny jeans *that* was definitely Lil Wayne. Nigg@s was on Wayne's nuts more than me. And I was so pressed for Wayne even my teacher gave me the magazine With Wayne in the pink Bape hoodie to me free. Niggas started wearing skinny jeans and dreads because of Wayne. Period.
