I miss 2003. So many bangers from that year. Ignition by R. Kelly. Picture by Kid Rock/Sheryl Crow. P. Diddy's party anthems Shake Ya Tailfeather and Bump, Bump, Bump. You could tune into The Apprentice to learn about business and enjoy Donald Trump's timeless one-liners, or The West Wing to learn about the American presidency, maybe a little Chappelle's Show for some laughs. Apparently it was also the first year we could all go hop on 4chan and Google Adsense for the first time. Anyway, it kinda makes you wonder what all those folks are up to now. I hope they're well.
You just reminded me of why Y2K era nostalgia makes me ill.
I was working part time in a mall and heard all this shit on repeat, and my co-workers were quoting The Chappelle Show because it was ok to be racist if a black guy said it first.
You're being downvote because you are correct. The culture in 2000s America was trashy at best. The CIA psyop was in full effect (project mockingbird) and everyone was dancing to the rhythm of the patriotic drum, and being asleep at the wheel.
The cartoons of the mid to late 2000s were pretty good though, it must be said
I was a roller skating rink DJ when Shake Ya Tailfeather came out. It had the place so hyped up I had security tell me to cut the song off before it finished. People jumping up amd dancing on tables and shit. It was wild. That song was definitely a banger.
