Have you listened to an old song and heard something that to you sounded outrageously outdated? Great verse but Phife saying this “Mr. Dinkins, would you please be my mayor? You'll be doing us a really big favor”

"When I'm cruisin in my Volvo, cops harass me
They never ride past me, they hound me like Lassie
Wantin to give me a summons or a ticket
Huh, I got a place for them to stick it (kick it)
They can't understand to see a black man
Drivin a car that costs twenty-five grand
The first thing they say is 'Where'd you steal her?'
And then they assume that I'm a drug dealer
Huh, that just makes me wanna laugh
Cause now I'm a star and your son got my autograph"
"6 g's for 20 minutes is the pay I earn" ---- L.L. Cool J "Rock the Bells" (1985)
I mean, $6000 for a 20 minute performance is still some coin even in 2018 but when you have rappers like Eminem and Drake making $1 million + per show, this really illustrates how far hiphop has come. LL was easily at Drake's level in his prime...

Reminds me of Biz Markie: "Reagan is the prez, but I voted for Shirley Chisholm" from "Nobody Beats The Biz".
In fact, "Nobody Beats The Biz" is a spoof of "Nobody Beats The Wiz" a famous electronics store commercial in New York City in the 1980s that even 'Seinfeld' did a whole episode about...haha.

Any song where the rapper says the year in their rhymes
It has been a very long time since the year was stated in their rhymes. I think its because rappers record so much music that it doesn't get released in a significant amount of time and / or they can sell their verses

And although it seems heaven sent
We ain't ready, to see a black President,
You gotta learn to hold ya own
They get jealous when they see ya with ya mobile phone
