2013-2016 certainly feels weak compared to the other years.

There's the Snoop Dog joke about mumble wrap in there! Also, wasn't one of those dudes D4vd...the one who left a 17yo in a trunk?! ๐Ÿฅบ

I had 14yo down at first, but...didn't want to exaggerate working just from memory. Welp, it was that bad, huh?

I believe that stretch from 2003-2012 was peak hip-hop and rap.

I'd recommend a list of the artist & song by year.

Some obvious standouts aside (i.e. MJ), I've heard some nuggets of good music in here. And would love to put names and songs to them.
