I feel like the mid 2000s marked the end of the non digital era cause after that the internet became more viable for making and promoting music.
Yep. The era of albums leaking weeks before release, the end of the 12" singles, the birth of YouTube.
I can't work out whether 5th Ward Weebie's Fuck Katrina was 2005 or 2006.
The Maino video is hilarious haha.
It's kinda like the How To Rob of the street DVD era.
Lil Wayne Tha Mobb
Fave song on that album but Noz had Wayne in his list so I couldn't include him.
damn i totally forgot about "instigator," great song
a few of these were on the short list but i ultimately had to make a lot of tough choices like "'fuck yo couch' or 'i got grapes'?" i've never even heard the wax and woodie album though
the odb song i liked a lot from 05 was "coochie" with luda, sounds like luda was writing for odb which actually works well, it was later ruined for that dumb dame dash blakroc black keys album https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2P7-j422zac&ab_channel=XxRiZZ327xX
fuck katrina was 06 i think, or at least that's when it hit blogs
Instigator = the last great M.O.P song and the one great 9th Wonder production.
Not heard that ODB & Luda song before. Nice.
Woodie's Northern Exposure compilations have some peak A-Wax gems too. Me is a fave.
Should probably note that it's the solo 12" mix of Lift Ya Skirt not the later version with Missy from the bootleg album.
last great m.o.p. song was "sharks in the water" imo
"hit your ass in broad daylight like mark chapman did john lennon from the beatles - here's a fresh tuxedo"
Fair.
Y'all both forgot 'Switch' by Will Smith
Top list, never heard that MOP either.
George Bush Don't Like Black People.

Last great MOP song was actually 187
187 is good, but Instigator is a true M.O.P great.
Smell Rell, even I Think I Can Beat Mike Tyson is better than Switch.
can't believe no one included Summer With Miami.
or Twista's "Lavish" or "Get You Home" or "Chocolate Fe's & Redbones"
There really are just so many from 05. Sean Price "Onion Head"
Beans "Bread & Butter"
Tony Yayo "Pimpin"
Bump J f/ Kanye "Pusha Man"
Summer Wit Miami might be the best Rap & Bullshit single in the Dipset canon, but as a Max B stan I'd go for G's Up too obvs.
Personal fave '05 Tony Yayo song is Fake Love.
