That '96-97 School Year Was SERIOUS

[Wacky D]

shyt is crazy, I'm can't stop laughing thinking about this


Imagine a rapper like Mase appealing to young teens now






Mase was the rapper that all my homies wanted to be like

everybody used to recite his rhymes word-for-word. male & female.

mase had IT.

if he didn't go overboard with the commercial chit, he could've easily stayed up there with the dmx/jay regime.

East Coast stuff really didn't get much play around this time either in the South cus we were riding with Pac and had our own homegrown music scenes. Everybody and they mama was banging Pac, Three 6, Master P, TRU, Skinny Pimp, Playa Fly, UGK, Tommy Wright, Tela, Do Or Die, Crucial Conflict....

This was kind of the year that the line was drawn.

My freshman year

For me, 96 was the GOAT year

96 was when I used to steal my favorite rappers music out of the stores instead of on a computer/cell phone

yeah I was boosting crazy CDs in the 90s.....when the stores stopped putting the plastic protection devices on I would just crack open the cases, put the cds in my pocket and dump the cases in the back row of another section. yall Miami nikkas remember Specs Music? at Aventura? I got them for like 5000$ worth of shyt

Small cd stores wouldn't have the protective case on cassettes so I used to load up on them

CDs I just had to put protection case in all in my jeans and saw that bytch off with a knife once I got home

So many classics CDs got stolen from KMart

Life After Death
Wu-Tang Forever
Muddy Waters
Ice Cream Man
Tru 2 Da Game
E.1999 Eternal

I was hittin up "sound of Germantown" at this point..

they put the new albums out the weekend before their official release, and the most they usually charged for an album was 15.

shoutout to city sound too.

RIP to both.
