Oh man I had no idea he was still making music. LOVE his work. Fantastic news. Excited.

 

[taimoorh]

Arguable the best era of Hip-Hop/ R&B. The mid-late 90s come a close second.

Still Dre is the most iconic of that era. I mean everything listed here can be the top 1 for me, honestly, they were all so good.

 

[NinjaCoachZ]

Still Dre is the most iconic of that era.

Hell yeah.

 

[TreasureHunterG]

Still Dre is the most iconic of that era.

Still Dre is a 1999 song, though. But yeah, it was a bang in the early 2000's.

 

[Smooth Operator]

Ignition Remix

Yup, best song of the 00's

 

[QuantumSquid]

Deltron 3030 - All of it

You are correct sir.

Jay laced that song.

 

[JTripper]

T-Pain - "Buy U A Drank"

 

[NinjaCoachZ]

Still Dre is a 1999 song, though. But yeah, it was a bang in the early 2000's.

I love that how everything in 1999 was based on being as excited for 2000 as possible, and Dr. Dre went one step beyond and named his album 2001.

 

[Brinbe]

There was a lot of shit in that decade, especially in the ring-tone era. But there's some gems in there I guess. That was my high-school/University days and I guess i'll have some appreciation for the stuff if only for that. Nostalgia is a hell of a thing...

Anyway, my contribution (because it's still bangs). Get By or What We Do

 

[Hickbilly Deluxe]

I suppose DMX and Andre 3000. Didnt really listen to hip hop back then, was more of a rock guy a the time.

Althought these days, I have learned to appreciate a few others. Bubba Sparxxx, petey pablo, and Sean Paul being some of them.

That's normal. Same thing happened in the 90's with Ice Ice Baby, U Can't Touch This and Bust A Move, they got a lot of backslash and were regarded by many Hip Hop fans as a disgrace to the genre. Their quality as a hip hop song can be disputed even today, but they're among the most recognizable songs ever made in the genre (perhaps in music) and there's a cult following among them.

 

[donkey show]

Can't argue with a lot of these hits, especially anything that came from Dre, Timbaland, or Pharrell.

But personal fave... My Love - Justin Timberlake & T.I.

Sooooo damn good.

R. Kelly - Ignition (Remix), baby

EDIT: ^Goddamn it.

One of the GOATs for sure. Always gotta drop everything and bounce to it if it hits the radio.

 

[shagia]

there's many others out there but one of the most memorable is T-Pain - Buy U A Drank

honestly one of the most soulful, next level songs for it's time even with it's lyrical content, production was also just great, T wasn't the first but the act of aggressively altering your voice using pitch correction tools (even when he can sing) to have this robotic style of voice that sounds like a lighter version of Zapp going along with some real detailed production just worked

also you don't have to like soulja boy but you gotta give it to him for his hook game

 

[m3k]

[lightskintwin]

I love that how everything in 1999 was based on being as excited for 2000 as possible, and Dr. Dre went one step beyond and named his album 2001.

The title "Chronic 2000" was the original title for former Death Row Records artist Dr. Dre's anticipated second album but Suge Knight took the title and used it for this album which forced Dre to retitle his album to 2001.

Yep.

T-Pain was the major responsible for the auto tune fad in the late 00's till early 10's. It was cool at first but got annoying lately because of overused. Many mainstream big guns like Rihanna, Britney Spears, Lil Wayne, Kanye West and Snoop Dogg, unfamiliar to this, decided to use autotune on their songs.

Jay-Z criticized it's overuse in D.O.A. (Death of Autotune)
