Born in '92. I remember '96 - '99 vividly. Hell, this track
Is the most nostalgic song in my life because I remember it playing from the boom box one night at a god damn fish fry with my family in the mid 90s, and I had probably
just learned how to tie a shoe.
Waking up early so I could watch 'Goof Troop' and 'Inspector Gadget.' 'Spider-Man', 'Garfield,' & 'Beetleborgs' after school. 'X-Men' with a bowl of Fruit Loops on Saturdays mornings and even the short lived 'Mortal Kombat' cartoon.
NBA Jam on SEGA ("He's On Fire") Loading up 'Street Fighter.'
Hell, SEGA
period. I have the AOL dial up tone engrained in my brain. I remember being set up on a 'Kids Only' account with parental controls.
Hearing Keith Sweat on the radio daily and the 'Twisted' video. Aaliyah on BET around the time she dropped that Doctor Dolittle track 'Are You That Somebody.' TLC 'Waterfalls.' The Missy Elliot video used to scare the shyt out of me.
Mom dukes bumping Usher. Erykah Badu's cassette in the whip with "On & On" on repeat. No Limit cassette #112 being brought to school by classmates. WCW's C show "WCW Saturday Night," when they had the blue and yellow ring with The Flock sitting ringside.
WCW vs WWF. nikkas drawing battle lines and rising with NWO or DX. Being
at 5 o'clock Saturday when Nickelodeon ran "Are You Afraid Of The Dark."
CN at night with "What A Cartoon"
Hell, I went with my family to see "Nutty Professor" and "The Fifth Element" in the theatre. "Mortal Kombat" was watched on VHS literally
daily. Reptile beat the breaks off Liu.
NBA on NBC.
The presentation has yet to be matched. I'd grab a cushion and "shoot" into one our chairs during the games. I experienced all of that and then for better or worse, the CRUNK era
Young enough to look fondly on the simpler times, but old enough to appreciate the technological leaps we've made. Loved the period of the 90s I distinctly remember and I love the early 00's. Wouldn't change a thing.
