^still sounds fresh as ever

I don't understand how these are 20 (TWENTY) years old now haha. I distinctively remember the days I copped a lot of these albums, what I did before getting to the store, how I first listened to them, who I discussed/argued with in real life (pre message board and texts).

I don't like the beat anymore because its just a loop. ALC didn't FLIP IT ENOUGH!

Flip it enough? Flip these. Flip off. Go flip some f*cking burgers.(c)Kno

Allied State of the National Electric Beat Treaty Organization (NEBTO)

...second semester of Junior year and first semester of Senior year of COLLEGE. And it was a road-map to what was the beginning of my journalistic career. I reviewed at least a dozen of those albums for the student-run features paper.

man some of y'all really are old as hell

(if I didn't take so many breaks from college before eventually getting my BA, that is).

.

At least it makes me feel even older, because it REALLY doesn't seem like a decade since these dropped. Shit, I bump some of these semi-regularly.

some of the others I came to after, others like Cibo matto and Weezer I've never fucked with / heard

I was in 4th/5th grade. Great year.

I was in the 11th/12th grade. Making me feel old.

albums from 2001 are 15

lists for both would be cool
