be.

The "Rotten ass milk" to me is more outdated. So if somebody came out with a R&B song today that sounded just like "Sittin on top of the world" that would sound outdated. But hearing a song from that year would be "dated" because it has all the same elements that were typical of that time period.

I always say that Doggystyle doesn't sound dated, but the album fillers on the 2nd half of Chronic like "High Powered" sound dated to me. And it is probably because I started listening RIGHT before Doggystyle, and never even heard those Chronic songs til like 4-5 years later. But even on Doggystyle, if somebody said "To all my" sounded dated, I wouldn't be mad.

Man, those Eric B songs SUCK, LOL.

      part of that probably has to do with sampling laws killing the style
