99/2000 is dated. You want to do the math? Lol I'm not saying the actual song don't hit the same...
BTAU is a timeless song and forever in my top 20. They took off that part in the album anyway.

i love when they say the year, i instantly think back to that time
like when snoop says nine five plus four pennies on still dre
or when diddy keeps saying nine five motherfuckers on who shot ya
those help make the song timeless in my opinion

was this the last time a big song mentioned the year?
edit* Dmx "this be the only joint that'll knock till 2003"
They didn't take off that part cuz the album version never had
It was added it to the radio version

I'm still rolling at the notion that the year dates the song
No shit
The sound of music today sounds nothing like Rappers delight but that doesn't mean rappers delight can't get played in a set in the right kinda environment

I agree with the first part, but you chose the wrong line as an example. it's a cool line and the fact that they did take over helps it.

Folks misunderstood what I was saying. It doesn't hurt the song at all. I just meant it takes you back to a specific era. Maybe dated was the wrong word.
It was an iconic line in hiphop at the time because Cashmoney was going through the start of their legendary run.. Growing up I copped every CMR album ever released bad or good.

At a certain point, niggas realized how powerful the art form was. The goal went from making music to document what you saw out your window and what was happening around you...to the goal being making timeless music that people can listen to forever.
Thus...no more shouting out the year.

It always cracked me up when Joell Ortiz said "I'm PS4 in HD and the screen is plasma/ You're Atari 2600 with a weak adapter/"
Like the PS3 had just come out, so he's saying he's ahead of his time.....but shouldn't you know a PS4 isn't gonna be "futuristic" in 5 years?
They don't even make plasma TVs no more lol.
