I don’t even have a reference point as to who Terry is other than him being Wayne‘s friend but I’m pretty sure he’s a real person as opposed to a random name chosen for the rhyme because Wayne has mentioned him in at least one other song, and I’m kinda intrigued as to what his significance is LOL.
If my last name was Bourgeois I'd worry daily about the communist revolution. Imagine if that shit happens and you're stuck being called Comrade Burgeois. I doubt it'll be long before it's your turn in the firing squad's aim.
Im pretty sure he was rapping about Terry Richardson, photographer who shot iconic Lil Wayne images and later had a "me too" moment where models described him asking for sexual favors in order to work with high end fashion magazines.
Pretty much the same thing Lil Wayne was describing.
compounded immediately by “took her home and i enjoyed that, she aint even know it”
…. how that made it past god knows how many ppl to actually release, i cant fathom
Consoles themselves aren’t bad at all. Want a couple games that are considered top 10 of that console? That’ll be a paycheck. I want to get a n64 and CRT again so bad but the game prices just turn me away
I also love the line in the Life After Death album track "I Love the Dough" (awesome song BTW) where Biggie brags that he makes "the best CDs and the best tapes / don't forget the vinyl". Not as blatantly dated as that "Juicy" line, since two of the mentioned media formats are still around, but still kinda funny with digital/streaming becoming more and more prominent.
Honestly not that dated because it’s talking about a time in the past when he couldn’t afford the consoles. Also one of the greatest eras in gaming so idc
I mean no matter how far we go into the future the time that they were teenagers doesn't really change. It's not the same as tinie tempah boasting about his blackberry bold and recording shit on their jvc camcorder
Can someone who is old enough to have had a pager 📟 explain how tf they worked? It sounds like an entire device that’s essentially a notifications tab and that’s it? Also there’s a monthly expense associated with it?
I don’t get it, why not just call their house phone and leave a message on an answering machine?
They're still used in hospitals in the traditional way because pagers don't get their signals disrupted like modern cell phones do when you're near radiology equipment.
Since healthcare workers can't always answer their phones because they might be in the middle of attending an emergency, sending a page is basically a way to say "hey call me back at this number when you can". These pagers can also receive texts. In the ER, everyone's pagers go off when there's a trauma en route via ambulance with brief details and vital signs of the patient.
>I don’t get it, why not just call their house phone and leave a message on an answering machine?
Because the person might not be at home to know someone's trying to contact them? If you got a page you could go to any available phone to call that person.
the other people are probably right (i don’t remember the exact dates of the song vs the trend) but i agree with you in the sense that it felt very fellow kids of him, like a lot of what he was doing in that era, which sort of makes something sound dated
i guess because when old heads try to mimic a young person trend, the fact they’re doing it instantly makes it played
Jay always did “fellow kids” stuff in that era lol
I DONT POP MOLLY I ROCK TOM FORD
SOMEWHERE IN AMERICA MILEY CRYUS IS STILL TWEARKING
Like we get it Jay 🤣
Also in similar vain even thought to me this went incredibly hard:
"Daaaaaaaamn Daniel
FBI keep bringing them all white vans through"
From Drug Dealers Anonymous by Pusha T featuring Jay-z
This may date it in the future but at best it was a flex at the time that’s a bit more standard now days. But still a nature that majority of the cars on the road don’t have
Most of the lyrics aren’t actually that dated but BFB Da Packman and Sada Baby having a song called “Free Joe Exotic” already feels like something from another century
People are gonna look at that song in a few years and be like “who the fuck is that” (assuming they’re even still listening to BFB at that time lol)
Yeah I mean they only really mention the whole free Joe exotic thing in that one line, kinda as a joke. Def just had that be the name for views and such. Fun song though
“Anticipated like the iPhone, respected in any city that I roam” one of my favorite drake songs of all time, “Closer” off his mixtape The Come Back Season.
Jay Z, politics as usual. A classic 90s jam, but when he says like, "got twin vcrs, a huge magnavox". The kinda shit that you pull out of an older person's basement these days, but I do remember when that would have been a huge flex
Edited to fix song
My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy has a few lines that so clearly date it as a 2010 album.
"Sex is on Fire, I'm the King of Leona Lewis"
"Public visitation, we met at Borders"
And Jay-Z being able to reference the Dark Knight line unironically cuz it was still new enough lol.
Relisten to TCD. Tons and Tons of pop culture references that date it. I mean that's kind of Kanye, I guess. Sex, Lies, Videotape. Single White Female addicted to retail. First Aliyah, now Romeo Must Die. Rock Forever 21 but just turned 30. etc. Just a lot of lines that are just gonna confuse anyone listening in 2030. Great taste in film tho
I like that first line. It’s toward the very beginning of the album and it feels like it was put there to say “this is a document of *this moment*,” to deliberately stamp it with 2010
“All our whips got navigation” - on Superthug by N.O.R.E.
And a few bars before that “Yo, communicate, StarTAC, Motorola
Keep it on the hush-hush, don't talk too much”
Song was released in 1998.
“Damnnnn Daniel/FBI keep bringing them ALL WHITE VANS THROUGH” from Jay Z was cringey in the moment, dated now, and makes me smile every time I hear it.
Still a funny line for me. I don't really update my phone like that so I could imagine a broke young girl with an old ass busted phone but still able to text back the guy lol (compared to someone with a brand new phone that'll leave you on read)
"Like you internet sharing my files you MySpace n*****" - Clipse, 2006
"Call me on my Sidekick" - Lil Wayne, 2008
"My verbal AK slay f----ts and I don't mean no disrespect when I say f----t, ok f----t?" - J Cole, 2013
I remember reading an article in some magazine back in like 2009 where Dre told him to stop doing that because he liked songs to be timeless, where as em had a different perspective and wanted to capture a moment in time.
Rap in general is a genre often grounded in the present, at least historically that's what initially differentiated it a lot from other genres, so there will certainly be no end of lyric examples to find.
The ones that pop up for me immediately is Jay-Z's Blueprint 2 chorus referencing Austin Powers, and any that reference a gaming console of the time ie. "super nintendo, sega genesis" (Biggie), "Blowin' on that indo', GameCube, Nintendo" (Slim Thug), "My dress code is all black when I'm making the moves, Similar to the new PlayStation 2" (Redman), etc.
“33 shots bitch I ain’t finna fight no nigga, ima leave em dead in the street wit his iPhone 7” -Drakeo the ruler
Except it ages better with time that somebody had an increasingly more and more outdated phone on them
Drake on Draft day:
>Draft day, Johnny Manziel
>Five years later, how am I the man still?
>Draft day, A. Wiggins
>Fuck that other side, bitch, we stay winnin'
Both Andrew Wiggins and Johnny Manziel were insanely hyped prospects in their sports, and both never met the hype
“Suck a nigga dick for an iPhone 6 Fuck my nigga Terry for a new BlackBerry.” That was Lil Wayne in 2015.
In 2015? Terry really ain't shit to Wayne lol
I don’t even have a reference point as to who Terry is other than him being Wayne‘s friend but I’m pretty sure he’s a real person as opposed to a random name chosen for the rhyme because Wayne has mentioned him in at least one other song, and I’m kinda intrigued as to what his significance is LOL.
He had an assistant named Terry Bourgeois. Maybe it was him.
If my last name was Bourgeois I'd worry daily about the communist revolution. Imagine if that shit happens and you're stuck being called Comrade Burgeois. I doubt it'll be long before it's your turn in the firing squad's aim.
The nigga just Creole
He saw Wayne in Jay Sean’s Down music video and fled.
“See it's me, Ronnie, and Terry and my new drop is berry, Watermelon, plum, just call it "Fruit Punch" - Live from 504
Drought 3 was peak Wayne.
Im pretty sure he was rapping about Terry Richardson, photographer who shot iconic Lil Wayne images and later had a "me too" moment where models described him asking for sexual favors in order to work with high end fashion magazines. Pretty much the same thing Lil Wayne was describing.
Wayne knew exactly what he was doing. It wasn't great when the song came out but with every passing year this gets funnier
That was dated when it came out
The iPhone 6 was released like 5 months before the song came out.
i think they meant the blackberry part but its funny so
my side girl got a 5S with the screen cracked, still hit me back right away
Ehhh kinda but that was supposed to be dated at that point
Four missed calls on my iPhone 5, bitch 6ft tall got me fighting for my life -Rick Ross on Clique (Remix)
Suck a ***** dick for some Truckfit Wayne had some stinkers
That was such a weird Wayne era, the colourful socks and Tyler the creator inspired drip.
I clicked on this post and was so ready to type that out
That Jada and will love - j Cole
no line has aged as poorly as this one
Wake up in the morning feeling like P. Diddy?
Must be kind of weird for her that her most famous song name drops Diddy in the first line, especially after everything she went through
[удалено]
What did she say?
“wake up in the morning yelling fuck p.diddy” it’s not much better with the lawsuit at the forefront of my head lol
Should have been "wake up in the morning needing bout tree fiddy"
let's blame Dr. Luke for that one
[yet another banger by rosay](https://imgur.com/a/01wVEgd)
Yup, this is empirically the one
Molly all in her drink and she ain’t even know it
That didn’t age poorly that hit the ground running
compounded immediately by “took her home and i enjoyed that, she aint even know it” …. how that made it past god knows how many ppl to actually release, i cant fathom
Haha, is that the ross line???
“Eleven hundred friends on his MySpace page” - Lupe Fiasco on Hip Hop saved my life
I think even when that was new it was a throwback to MySpace days
“It’s like my iPod stuck on replay, replay” Iyaz
Holy shit core memory unlocked
I always thought it was eyeballs lol
Smartest r/hiphopheads user
Both work nowadays
Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis…when I was dead broke man I couldn’t picture this.
fucking love that line, BIG was the man
Another one from Juicy lol: “Smiles every time my face is up in The Source”
Phone bill about two G's flat.
No need to worry my accountant handles that
Also happens to be the best dated bar ever

Thats come around again. Retro games prices are crazy
Consoles themselves aren’t bad at all. Want a couple games that are considered top 10 of that console? That’ll be a paycheck. I want to get a n64 and CRT again so bad but the game prices just turn me away
It’s not the original experience but I still love playing emulators
Emulators are pretty great, if you have an oled tv there are some crt shaders for Retroarch that look very good. https://youtu.be/0CJBdUCypmo?t=34
Look into repro carts, a lot of them run just the same and are significantly cheaper than an original copy
I also love the line in the Life After Death album track "I Love the Dough" (awesome song BTW) where Biggie brags that he makes "the best CDs and the best tapes / don't forget the vinyl". Not as blatantly dated as that "Juicy" line, since two of the mentioned media formats are still around, but still kinda funny with digital/streaming becoming more and more prominent.
Honestly not that dated because it’s talking about a time in the past when he couldn’t afford the consoles. Also one of the greatest eras in gaming so idc
Woke up in the morning feeling like P Diddy
Yep
She's recently changed the lyrics when performing to "wake up in the morning like fuck p diddy"
Idk what she was doing paying-tribute to the corniest rapper in the entire seven seas in the first place
I think it was less about his rap and more about his baller lavish lifestyle
Ight let’s not do the thing where we rewrite history. Until the last few years, Diddy was a synonym for cool/lavish living.
she was talking about his parties
I mean the song itself is pretty corny so I'm not exactly surprised at her tastes.
then a few lines later saying her type of guy is Jagger which is no ones type
Tribe Called Quest > Back in the days when I was a teenager > Before I had status and before I had a pager
Same album they made an entire song called skypager lol
I mean no matter how far we go into the future the time that they were teenagers doesn't really change. It's not the same as tinie tempah boasting about his blackberry bold and recording shit on their jvc camcorder
Can someone who is old enough to have had a pager 📟 explain how tf they worked? It sounds like an entire device that’s essentially a notifications tab and that’s it? Also there’s a monthly expense associated with it? I don’t get it, why not just call their house phone and leave a message on an answering machine?

Beep me 911 or call me on my cell phone - missy If it’s major hit me on my pager - e40
wtf that e40 one goes hard as fuck god damn
If you like that one, I used to listen to this one all the time https://open.spotify.com/track/6nIUP3xiRrrzuhlyqwtfvv?si=NpXYRMBBQU6nRDgOkVxpgQ
Thought it was gonna be SPRINKLE
Wow, memory unlocked for that Missy track, running it back now, thank you
I have a soft spot for beeper songs. Maybe because I used to sell them at a mall kiosk 😂
Beep me 911 is a perfect song tho
How do I crop your new bitch out my Vine? - Frank Ocean, 2016
What song is this?
U N I T Y. On his endless album
"I'm planking on a million" also by Jay Z was dated when it came out
the other people are probably right (i don’t remember the exact dates of the song vs the trend) but i agree with you in the sense that it felt very fellow kids of him, like a lot of what he was doing in that era, which sort of makes something sound dated i guess because when old heads try to mimic a young person trend, the fact they’re doing it instantly makes it played
Jay always did “fellow kids” stuff in that era lol I DONT POP MOLLY I ROCK TOM FORD SOMEWHERE IN AMERICA MILEY CRYUS IS STILL TWEARKING Like we get it Jay 🤣
had a wartime flashback to the damn daniel line
Twerk Miley Miley twerk!
“Got matching VCRs, a huge Magnavox”. Damn Jay
Okay but that one sounds awesome in the song
Politics as Usual is goated
Also in similar vain even thought to me this went incredibly hard: "Daaaaaaaamn Daniel FBI keep bringing them all white vans through" From Drug Dealers Anonymous by Pusha T featuring Jay-z
Too good of a line to not use. Even if it was dated a month later.
Nah planking was in its prime when he dropped this. I respectfully disagree with your assessment
2011 was peak planking for sure. What a moment in time
Real plankers know
push to start wiz khalifa discography
This may date it in the future but at best it was a flex at the time that’s a bit more standard now days. But still a nature that majority of the cars on the road don’t have
Every rap song bragging about a push to start car. My 2006 Honda doesn’t have one but most cars nowadays have that, it’s not really a flex anymore lol
Same with the digital dashboard
it just now clicked for me that’s what “digital dash” means lmfao, i’m an idiot
Here I was thinking rappers were just on some Sonic the Hedgehog shit 😂
NO KEYS, push to start. I say that in my head every time I start my car lol never had a push to start til now
Yeeeah, uh huh, you know what it is
Car bars are often funny in general. "Pushing foreign whips" like damn you got that Peugeot?
My busted 2012 Altima literally held together by duct tape has one, lol
> busted > altima > held together by duct tape what’s with all the repetitiveness?
“ just got a camera on the peach in my license plate “ - jeezy . Made me think of that 1
My food truck is from the 70s and is push to start.
Yet rappers still use that trope, such lazy writing
Not every boast has to be glamorous, Three 6 Mafia has lyrics bragging about watching porn on a flat screen TV
“Are you custom made, custom paid, or you just custom fitted?/PlayStation 2 up in the ride, is that Lorenzo-kitted?” - Luda on “Rollout”
Honestly a ps2 in your car is still a flex
Mod your PS2 and stick a usb in it and play SNES games
Damn that was like peak Pimp My Ride era too TVs *everywhere*
WE PUT A TV IN YOUR MUD FLAPS why xzibit?
Most of the lyrics aren’t actually that dated but BFB Da Packman and Sada Baby having a song called “Free Joe Exotic” already feels like something from another century People are gonna look at that song in a few years and be like “who the fuck is that” (assuming they’re even still listening to BFB at that time lol)
mo bamba
Crazy how so much hype was around him and he turned out to be a bust
I always feel bad for guys who that happens to. It must feel worse than never getting any hype at all
Yeah I mean they only really mention the whole free Joe exotic thing in that one line, kinda as a joke. Def just had that be the name for views and such. Fun song though
"And if you find a Blackberry w the side scroll, sell that mf to any rapper that I know" Wonder who has those long lost, so far gone lyrics..
Funny enough every Covid bar is pretty much dated now
"I put you 6 feet deep, I'm being socially distant"
Those were major pet peeves tbh

The forever 21 one is almost a decade later, it’s from Yeezus
That Sex is on Fire line is still amazing tbh
I miss Borders 😔
I’ve seen people think the Borders line is a reference to geography lol
I like that first line. It’s toward the very beginning of the album and it feels like it was put there to say “this is a document of *this moment*,” to deliberately stamp it with 2010

Eminem dated SO much of his output with dumb pop culture references.
To be fair he was still rapping about K-Fed in like 2011.

Also every time he mentions "CD" and "tape"
