Here are the Lyrics:

[Talking Intro]
Uhhhh
This is goin' out
To everybody from the 90's
And even if you not from the 90's
Anybody that appreciates the mark that the 90's left
In my opinion, the greatest era for hip hop
It's like bein' a teenager during the great jazz era
So you can imagine what it means to me
Let's go...

[R&B Chorus]
It's like those days are still so fresh on my mind
Seems like yesterday when I started writin' my rhymes
And I miss those days when I look back over my life
Though things done changed, I miss those good times


[Verse One]
s**t'll never be the same, I can picture it but never explain
Memories stain every inch of my brain and pump through my veins
Grand Puba had the Tommy Hill locked down
And how that Cool Water smelled, back then not now
Backpacks and Starter caps, outfits didn't match
Which reminds me that the 90's was the aftermath of crack
Girls had their name on their necklace or gold cross
Overalls folded at the ankles with stonewash
RZA rockin' all them beats, Sega with the Altered Beast
Wasn't safe to walk the streets with Jordan sneakers on your feet
Rappers had you thinkin' white girls had no butt
And whiteboys either rocked a mullet or bowl cut
I'd give a muthaf***in' million dollars to go back
To Show with the "Soul Clap", K-Solo "Can't Hold Back"
Magic admitted he had it, but he ain't a addict or fa****
If you need 'em I got crazy prophylactics


[R&B Chorus]
It's like those days are still so fresh on my mind
Seems like yesterday when I started writin' my rhymes
And I miss those days when I look back over my life
Though things done changed, I miss those good times


[Verse Two]
Al Roker was fat, Ben Franklin's face was small
Too many Florida felons, then came that 3 strikes law
The Benz had the round lights, Lexus was the new whip
Crews were rollin' deep in Jeeps, smokin' on that Thai stick
Chocolate, Lambspread, before they perfected Hydro
5 dollar bag get you that Skunk or that Cambo
Kids bought CD's from Biohazard and Anthrax
Supersized fast food, what the f*** was a trans-fat?
Pam Anderson, Anna Nicole, Carmen Electra
I miss my beeper goin' off, I miss the G-Funk Era
Early to mid 90's was the greatest of all times
Pac, Biggie, Big L, Eazy-E & Pun were all alive
It was either flava or P-H-A-T
Arsenio, The Wayans and Martin Lawrence was on TV
These are oldies but goodies, difference of OG's and rookies
S*** was good when Billy Clinton was gettin' Lewinsky p****.


[R&B Chorus]
It's like those days are still so fresh on my mind
Seems like yesterday when I started writin' my rhymes
And I miss those days when I look back over my life
Though things done changed, I miss those good times


[Talking Outro]
Yeah, uhhh
Sinista, take us outta here


[Scratch Outro]
"I miss the days of way back then"
"I remember way back in the days on my block"
"Thinkin' way back about the good old days"
"Way back in the days, back in the days"

"Felt like yesterday, I was a shorty B-boy around the way"

I dislike it, I generally dislike hip hop ,if that's what it is, or R&B

Could not glean any enjoyment from it.

What about this instrumental hip hop song?

It's pretty annoying. I like some rap, but not a majority of it.

It's not my favourite song. I don't really like rap music all that much.

ConfusedDude, I prefer Instrumental Hip-Hop and "Gangsta" Rap more to that sort of R&B Hip-Hop mish mash.

An example of Instrumental Hip-Hop I like:

My favorite rap group was AIG. Those two songs are not very good to me.

Have to agree with some of the posters above me. I don't like this Hip Hop or Rap thing at all. Sorry, you said be honest and as an aspie it wasn't so difficult to do

Not much of a Hip-Hop fan myself either, but I can appreciate a good write.

The bottom line on this one is the recording is SO bad, I can't even make it past ten seconds. If there is ONE thing that'll turn me off instantly, even if it's my favorite band, it's a bad production.

And that one, is horrid.

Just on more thing.

Like I said, I love a good write. Though the recording is garbage, and turned me off so much yesterday I didn't bother to read the lyrics, today I did.

I like it. It's good writing for sure. Just wish that production was better. I'm sure there's GOT to be a better one out there somewhere.

Okay, I looked, and none of what I could find was any better. What about this guy, "Buckwild" makes him such a "legendary producer?"

I'm certainly not hearing it. Way too much "mung" and noise. Very unpleasant.

Like I said, it doesn't matter whether the genre or style is my favorite, I always appreciate a good write, and good song, and a good production. Listen to the song you posted (not the content, listen to the SOUND) then listen to this:

Now THOSE guys knew what they were doing in the studio!

Goes to show you. A bad production can ruin a good song. On the other hand, an awesome production can turn a crappy song into a million seller.
