Why don’t rappers let the listener know what year it is anymore?

[thaKEAF]

Didn’t someone say Dre told them not to date the music?

The last one I remember was Drake saying he had 20/20 clear vision for the next year

Now in ‘93/realistically you should be ,well aware of all the evils out there

It’s like a jungle sometimes/ you get the message? You got to rumble sometimes, it’s gettin hectic.

Because they’ve learned there’s no guarantee that the record will drop on time. Like durk rapping about 2021 on a cardi song that didn’t drop till the next year.

Tip said on The Chase, Part II:

Nine-trey, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I don't wanna say nine-trey
Cause my man Extra P said don't say the years
So, it's for eternity, know what I'm saying?

 

[Steezy]

nikkaz be like "Ahh he changed his style up"
Shut the fukk up, ya still a dikk-ridah
It's nine-six so get with it
Peep that back-in-the-day shyt when that other Squad was Hittin

Don't tote no (Twenty-twos), Magnum cost me (Twenty-two)

You not supposed to date your music..I hate playing some crazy fab or max b mixtape and the dj say “07 shyt!” “09 shyt!” just reminds you it’s old as fukk..still good music but would be even better if it’s not dated

nikka why you listening to Fab anyway?

Because there is no competition 1 and 2 are legendary for people in my age group

 

[Nabs]

I remember Nas saying Large Pro told him not to date the music like that.

Also these years don't sound as good as Nine-Three and all that.
