I didn't even listen to N.E.R.D until after my Dad died tbh...
One day, I was browsing for albums to put on my SD card and I stumbled upon the original In Search Of(2001 version)..
After that, I downloaded the rock version and bought the CD in 2020 for a steal.
That cover was always funny to me. Shay nonchalantly playing a game on PS1 while the girl was looking lost like a chicken with their head cut off.

It was a couple joints on that album. Never knew they had a rock version of it. I always thought it was HipHop Rock anyway

The west coast has no part in it

It was that Jay Z / Ruff Ryderz / Camron New York club era
shyt was the worst era in hip hop
the west coast didn’t have a sound at that time had completely fell off from the mainstream after 1996 death row Tupac

Well at least these songs are all Distinguished from one another as opposed to today's beats. It now all sounds like one long song.....and yess I'm
Do you think thats what the old heads thought of the 90s/00s wave? Impossible I'd say because there were so many unique sounds but this thread proves there was a lot of wave riding as well.
The modern trap based wave with booming bass and slippery hats is everywhere, all genres, and it sounds 98% the same because they're using the same tropes. Like I said about New Jack Swing:
Trap is this generations New Jack Swing
Check it: Both started off as a small, local offshoot styles of production that had their own distinct sound from the parent genre. Both blew up so that everyone started biting/being influenced by the wave. Both had people switching their styles up, thematically as well as musically...

I do wonder if this is just us though, being out of touch and not being able to differentiate as we're looking at this from a distance but experience says its not the whole thing because there were a lot more styles now as opposed to one long song with different features thats been playing for years.
but hood hop is a top 20 beat in all of hip hop
