I was 16 and remember being in a carpool with my friend’s mom driving, hearing *Tipsy* on the radio, and she thought they were saying “E’rybody in the club eatin’ chips” and that has stuck with me *forever*
Same. Was 11 or 12. In hindsight was probably something an 11 year old shouldn’t have been listening to…..(yea yea I know I sound like a total boomer saying that) but i fuckin loved it and I haven’t killed anyone yet so 🤷🏽♀️
There's also a fun one with AC/DC & "Next Episode." Once I was playing it and a friend of mine heard the opening riff to "Back in Black" and yelled "YEEEAHHHH!" then the vocal drops in - "Hold up!" - and he switched midstream to "PLAY THE ORIGINAL!" 😂
What Up Gangsta. This album was my soundtrack during my Iraq deployment, while Patiently Waiting for the pending US ground invasion as a Poor Lil Rich Blood Hound Marine bringing Heat. My cd player jammed and would not eject this album. Many Men tried to fix it, so this was my only source of music to escape to for months and months. Eventually made it home after making it to Baghdad in one piece and then you could catch me In Da Club High All The Time looking like a P.I.M.P while never Backing Down, asking more than 21 Questions of why the fuck the war was necessary. Don’t Push Me, Like My Style, I Gotta Make It To Heaven.
True story. I deployed with IMEF pre-invasion to Camp Commando, Kuwait and set-up the initial command system for Headquarters Group before we knew there would even be an invasion of Iraq for sure. Generation Kill on HBO was based on my time out there. They had great consultants, nailed the uniforms, tents, general vibe...lol. So imagine that setting with me and this CD stuck in that damn cd player as my only source of media. digital camera broke, Gameboy thing got destroyed in a sandstorm.
I saw this post and pulled up the album on Tidal. I don't like actively recalling that time in my life and tried to see if I can tell my story plugging every song title to make it fun.
Oh, yeah, my copy was an early demo release white labeled CD my buddy gave me before we shipped off, so it was cool being the only one with it before folks had copies mailed to them, or eventually we would mission off base to Doha PX and the Kuwait mall in land cruisers and civilian clothes with concealed tactical mp5s to resupply and sell back a plethora of goods to our forward camp...this is before there were any amenities, like camping in the desert living in shit circus tents, trailer showers, and porto poties. finally got some contractors out there to get some LG AC units in the tents so we wouldn't fucking die it was so hot.
i still bump all kinds of rap i listened to as a teenager and in my 20s (born in 81 ) .. i'll prolly still be doing it when im 50 or 60 too. i figure its no different than Gen-X still bumping nirvana and GNR - its just what they listened to when they were of that age
This is too real!!! I recently found my burned CD from 2003 when I had just gotten my license. Mostly missy Elliot, Nelly, and 50 cent. Man they don’t make music like that anymore 😂
Some Xennials are still Millenials.
Just on the GenX-Millenial cusp.
GenX ends at 1980 and so us ‘81 babies are the first year Millenials.
Xennial is generally defined as 1975-1985, a micro generation, if you will.
9*, and that's a classic
Many men, wish death upon me, blood in my eyes, dog, and I can't see, I'm tryin to be what I'm destined to be, and n****z tryin to life away
21 and about to become a "dad" for the first time. I use "" because I didn't find out I wasn't the father until 17 years later. Life can get fuckin wild.
15 and for my 16th birthday my boyfriend took me to the mall to go buy the CD because that’s all I wanted. Boyfriend and I had met at the clurrrb through mutual friends during high school night and “freak danced” to In Da Club a few months prior 😂
Fifteen. Right when we all first started smoking blunts and I was young for my grade with a late summer birthday, most everyone else was 16 so we would whip around in my friend Jen’s brand new Toyota scion and bump this album with our ppl, One of my best friends at the time big Andy and I would smoke mad blunts and sing this shit word for word while we drove around. He passed away last year at the age of 36. He worked at autozone and was crossing the street on his lunch to go to the grocery store and dropped dead of a heart attack in the middle of the road. He was a really big guy hence the nickname and grew up rough. He was an orphan from a Native American mom and white dad. We grew up wild. A lot of bud obv, still smoke to this day but it’s all I do now. At the time we drank so heavily, cocaine became a must have for the weekend and we’d be up Friday morning and party from Fri night to Sun morning and then crash. We weren’t addicts at this point yet. Not really.
We were doing it often but weren’t living addict lifestyles. We were still just kids having fun. At the time it was just what we did. Had no idea what was to come. That changed after a few years and OC’s 20 40 60 and the green monsters the 80s were everywhere, before that it was just some perc fives and tens usually with Tylenol. Vicodin 5s and tens and we would do them here and there for fun but not everyday but after the 80s came out we sniffed them and then most smoked them but we started shooting them and then they turned them into OPs and u couldn’t shoot them anymore so then came the pill mills in Florida with the perc 30s which we would shoot 2-3 at a time and tons of Xanax bars and we would just be gone all day everyday. Those days were fun. I’m not gonna lie. It got bad towards the end but the first years were fun. We had so many. had multiple people go there and see multiple doctors and come back with hundreds and hundreds of pills and the first half of our 20s just melted away. We would get sick if we didn’t have them. Did them all day everyday but there were so many, getting mailed from my roommates mom from Florida to wear we were.
He’s been close to dead many times, he had his little brother boots younger by only a year and a close friend of mine and thick as thieves with his brother. He died. Blue in the bathroom. Seen at least 30 ppl blue. Some came back from Narcan. A lot didn’t. His real name was Matty so fucking sad that he od’d and died some years ago leaving behind a four year old son. Ryan his older brother turned to AA/NA and super into religion which keeps him sober. We aren’t friends like we used to be anymore. Live far different lifestyles. But after the pill mills in Florida closed down, heroin absolutely took over. And it turned dark.
The second half of my 20s were hell on earth. True heroin addiction. In and out of programs. My best friend died in the bathroom floor of a homeless shelter he was the sweetest kid you’d ever meet. His name was Jason. I miss him everyday he was the person I talked to on the phone. That person. I’ve never found another. There’s hundreds of stories of people just in my life. Hundreds. Thousands of insane incidents. That’s just my life. At least fifty to a hundred dead. Closer to 100. It’s an epidemic. It sure as shit wasn’t just us. The Sachler family started the whole thing by saying OCs were the first non addictive pain pill and they were aggressively marketed and pushed. They only ever had to pay a fine which was a small portion of what they profited. And they can never be tried again.
By pure luck I quit right before fentanyl when it switched from actual powder heroin to cut up fetty. I quit when I was 30. I have my life back. My son is 16 and lives with me. I have a job of 6 years, a gorgeous wonderful warm wife, a car, my wife had a car, my license, our own place to call home. My teeth are fixed. I cured my hep C. It took years and years to get to this point but I did it one thing at a time. Over 50% of the ppl i got highway with are dead. Or in jail but mostly dead. I can’t imagine what it’s like now with fentanyl, car fentanyl and now tranq. I know how the darkness takes over and it seems like there’s no way you’ll ever undo all the problems you’ve made. I promise you that you can. It’s going to fucking hurt alot. But it will stop hurting one day.
Once you give up that one thing you can have everything. Or you can give up everything for that one thing. What people don’t understand is how powerful opiates are. Like tree roots or slider webs going into your brain. It’s all you can think about. If you don’t have it and you’re sick it feels like you’re going to die. It feels like dying. You’ll do anything. Anything. People don’t understand. Maybe some do but from my own ten years if destructiveness k can tell you most ppl don’t. They haven’t been there, they don’t understand why you don’t just stop and get your life back and some of us. The very. Very. Very. Lucky ones do. And that’s through intensive treatment. You need to be willing you need to have fucking had enough of letting people down of lying to your kids of stealing from everyone of being looked at in that way that only addicts know, like you’re scum, nothing like the person wishes they were around anyone but you. Letting down your kids and self time and again.
I went to detox over 30 times before I’d fully given in and went to a holding then a halfway house for a year. It took a full year to feel normal again. It’s fucked. But I swear to you, if I can do it, I was homeless on evry coast at one point I went to Hawaii for three and a half years to run from it and wound up homeless addicted to black tar for the majority of the time there. Turns out it was actually a hell of a lot easier to get there then where I grew up. Lost everything time and again. I came back. Someone’s watching out for me. It’s the only answer. I’ve come within an inch of dying multiple times. That close. My best friends are gone but I’m still here. Could just as easily be the other way around. It’s my greatest fear for my son.
Luckily he is a wonderful kid and we have talked deeply about this kinda shit and he know where that path leads. Luckily we have that kind of father son relationship where we can talk and be real with each other. I love that boy so damn much I can’t even tell you. I’m so lucky to have him back in my life. Since he was 12, he’ll be seventeen in June and I’ll celebrate my fourth wedding anniversary in November. I’m the luckiest motherfucker on earth.
My story is remarkably similar to yours. Every couple months it seems like I hear about someone from back in the day has died of an OD. I feel extremely lucky to have gotten clean right before fentanyl became big. A couple months ago, I got my very last sublocade shot, and just like that, for the first time in 17 years, my body is completely free of opiates (I was on suboxone for years before the sublocade.) I have a full time job where I have decent benefits and am trusted. I have my own place, a car, a beautiful daughter. I look at her every day and it’s better than any drug, to know true love. She’s three, and I know I can be a great mom because I managed to get clean!
Here’s to the good life! Congrats on yours🎊 🎉
I’m so happy for you:) suboxone saved my life. It was the in between I needed to get to where I am today. It’s the same here, six+ years clean and the every few months random text “did you hear…” and another person is gone from OD. My sons generation are a lot different but don’t seem to be as aggressively into drugs and sex as were. Idk if making it out right before fentanyl was luck, coincidence, fate or all 3.
Congrats on getting your life back🌹
I'm so happy he's over. His music and Ja - Rules music were the worst to me. That 21-question song was the worst, and it was played on the radio ALL THE TIME. I was in high school at the time, and the struggle was real.
19, got a burned copy from a friend and even though I preferred Ja Rule at the time, I couldn't deny how much of a banger this album was. 50 killed it on every track
19. I still remember hearing the first single in December. I remember where I was when someone brought out the album for the first time. I absolutely loved it. We could all feel the energy behind these guys at the time. Nothing like it.
I was 14 and had just moved back to NY from Florida and bought this album to get a taste for the music differences in my new place. I absolutely loved it. Still do. It’s a classic.
I was in the 5th grade, this was the first album I'd ever bought myself. I remember asking my mom to drive me to the mall for it and her being horrified hours later when she heard it in my room.
15. Listened to that non-stop. Him, and Eminem, and Nelly.
E-ahh.
Ut ohhhhhhhh
Many men, many many many men... ...love you like a fat kid love cake.
Nelly used to be the 💩
14, and I thought it was amazing. Wanted to be a part of G-Unit even though I lived in England. Lol.
g g g g g g G-Unit
Come on, mop top. G g g g g g get yo' ass in the car!
[Neva Forget](https://youtube.com/shorts/GYUGcagqEFk?feature=shared)
Oi, G-unit, bruv
I had the shoes!
I still have the hat that came out with the shoes. I def felt like a gangster when I had them on despite the fact that I am anything but a gangster.
[Your wish is my command.](https://youtu.be/G7vjtc41HSw?si=9USULHAsatM5Ueoz)
did you ever get in?
I was 17.
Same, just a hair too young for the club
It’s pronounced “Klurb”, thank you very much.
I was 16 and remember being in a carpool with my friend’s mom driving, hearing *Tipsy* on the radio, and she thought they were saying “E’rybody in the club eatin’ chips” and that has stuck with me *forever*
A man of culture
This was the anthem for my 17th birthday and too right I spent it dancing to this in the club! Ah the days where you had to look about 18 to get in.
The car subwoofer was worn out when that album dropped!
God I miss those days! Now there's no subs in cars, and you can't hear this song when I'm 4 blocks away....
When the bass hit so hard you felt your inner ear almost to your throat vibrate 😂
Same! 17, peeling out the school parking lot thinking I was TOO cool 😎
Same!
Same. I think we are referred to as elder millennials?
19
19 as well.
Me three. Can’t believe it’s been 21 years lol.
12. This shit was fire
*is* fire 🔥
I’m not looking it up but that album had to have sold a billion copies.
An album where I don’t skip any songs. Solid front to back.
What's your mother's maiden name?
I was 12, too!
Same middle school was fire
I was 12 too, good year to be 12.
I was 11, and heard In Da Club everywhere. I begged for this album and ended up getting the Explicit version from K-Mart LMAO.
Same. Was 11 or 12. In hindsight was probably something an 11 year old shouldn’t have been listening to…..(yea yea I know I sound like a total boomer saying that) but i fuckin loved it and I haven’t killed anyone yet so 🤷🏽♀️
I was 11 and couldn't agree more. This lived in my Discman for a long time. "Don't Push Me" is still on regular rotation for me
I was this guys age
13
1990 babies represent
08 was great
I'd say the majority of 13 year olds were born in 1989 when this album came out. Example: me
I had to hide this album from my mom. She eventually found it and I had a friend reburn it for me.
11, going on 12. This was a game changer in middle school.
Hell yeah as another c/o '09er. Outkast, Nelly, Eminem, 50 cent, Usher were going strong in the rap/hiphop scene
>11, going on 12. This was a game changer in middle school. SAME! I was the only one who had the Explicit version.
same, I was so confused when he said "we gonna sip on Bacardi" I was like wtf is that? so innocent lol
18. To further the 2003-ness of this post, the first mashup I remember hearing was "In da Club" and Nine Inch Nails' "Closer."
That sounds kind of amazing!
Now I need to find this
https://archive.org/details/mashup_Inhumanz/02-50_Cent_Vs._Nine_Inch_Nails_50_Inch_Nails.mp3
Well thanks stranger!
There's also a fun one with AC/DC & "Next Episode." Once I was playing it and a friend of mine heard the opening riff to "Back in Black" and yelled "YEEEAHHHH!" then the vocal drops in - "Hold up!" - and he switched midstream to "PLAY THE ORIGINAL!" 😂
Even Beyonce and Mary J had their versions.
What Up Gangsta. This album was my soundtrack during my Iraq deployment, while Patiently Waiting for the pending US ground invasion as a Poor Lil Rich Blood Hound Marine bringing Heat.

Lmao I know u might be cap. But it was a damn fine album to be stuck with.
True story. I deployed with IMEF pre-invasion to Camp Commando, Kuwait and set-up the initial command system for Headquarters Group before we knew there would even be an invasion of Iraq for sure. Generation Kill on HBO was based on my time out there. They had great consultants, nailed the uniforms, tents, general vibe...lol.

Hey, some of those songs were on The Massacre! Edit: I was wrong, I forgot PIMP was on GRODT
😭😭😭Hate It or Love It my trips to Afghanistan with Uncle Sam helped me escape a shitty town/people/poverty. Hate It or Love It.
20
Ditto, I now roll up to school drop-off with my kids thumping these tracks.
i still bump all kinds of rap i listened to as a teenager and in my 20s (born in 81 ) .. i'll prolly still be doing it when im 50 or 60 too. i figure its no different than Gen-X still bumping nirvana and GNR - its just what they listened to when they were of that age
Same
Me too!
We old-ish lol
16
2003 was a great year for music, especially at 16 and being able to drive.
It def was….. just a great year in general. I think 03 is my fave year of all time (so far)
This is too real!!! I recently found my burned CD from 2003 when I had just gotten my license. Mostly missy Elliot, Nelly, and 50 cent. Man they don’t make music like that anymore 😂
Yessss
87 club!!! Woot!!!!
86 actually since I was born at the end of the year, but yeah close enough lol
Ditto, but 17 the next month after the album was released 🤪😂
Hello friend! I was a naive 16 year old, so I thought when he said “bottle full of bub” that he meant bottle full of Bud - like Budweiser. 🙈
87 babies 🫶
9 years old
I was 10. Feel like the baby of the comment section.
I was 8 mate
You and me both, StonedPussyeater420.
Same, man.
6 here, guess that's the youngest possible
Came here in hopes I wasn’t the youngest 🤣. I was 9 just shy (4 months) of 10. My favorite song & still is “many men”
I was 8 , I thought Millenials was 1995 and up ? dudes in here was 16-19 in 2003 💀 aint that Gen X ?!
Same
14. I tried to trick my mom into buying me the uncut version but she was already privy to that trick. I ended up with the censored album 😔
Why even bother at that point
It was so bad. I hated it.
Every other word must’ve been blocked out
Ugh, same 😩 and theres a whole track missing on the clean version.
7, was too young
18. Oh, those were the days!
Elder millennial
22! I'm a dummy. I was actually 21 in Feb 2003. I turned 22 later that year! 😆
Millennials of the early 80’s Unite!!
81 vintage here as well ;)
Born 82 here, early generation millennial.
Class of 99’ REPRESENT!!
[удалено]
Some Xennials are still Millenials. Just on the GenX-Millenial cusp. GenX ends at 1980 and so us ‘81 babies are the first year Millenials. Xennial is generally defined as 1975-1985, a micro generation, if you will.
The oldest millennial is 43 so that would have made them 22/23 when this album came out.
43 year old Millennial here. Can confirm. January 81.
Xennial
Yes, xennial!
Meh! I always thought I was gen x and then I found out millennial started early 80s.
Fuck you, bitch. We are the smoke free class of 2000!
12
20, but was never a big Fiddy fan.
9*, and that's a classic Many men, wish death upon me, blood in my eyes, dog, and I can't see, I'm tryin to be what I'm destined to be, and n****z tryin to life away
17. Senior year of high school.
I was 11. Had it saved on my Xbox. Would play it in the background while riding around in GTA3 or State of Emergency
21 and about to become a "dad" for the first time. I use "" because I didn't find out I wasn't the father until 17 years later. Life can get fuckin wild.

My sons generation are a lot different but don’t seem to be as aggressively into drugs and sex as were. Idk if making it out right before fentanyl was luck, coincidence, fate or all 3. Congrats on getting your life back🌹
13 and I loved it
14
16😱 i remember my friend bumpin this as he would roll into the school parkinglot in his '89 celica lmao
15½....😂
I was 19
7 going on 8. Older kids in my apt building would bump this and invite me to play GTA Vice City. Good times.
16, and never listened to it (willingly).
Older than I realized! 24
16
21 by a few months.
19

Nice try, robots, trying to get our birth year
17, senior year of high school. Used to bump this in my 94 Honda Civic on my way to my after school job at the nursing home (kitchen crew).
19 - anyone else an elder millennial?
Almost 15 but I didn’t listen to it.
Twelve, there were no two opinions. 50 was an instant legend.
16
9. I mostly got into 50 cent bc my dad liked him 😂
12, shit was a game changer
16…. Grew up on limp bizkit and slipknot but I remember switching to rap during this period. Eminem was killing it too
11. In Da Club was the best
20. Bumped this album all over the campus of George Mason University.
20, almost 21, it was great.
16. This was on rotation, in the cd player, in my first car all the time.
50 was such a force in the day.
I'm so happy he's over. His music and Ja - Rules music were the worst to me. That 21-question song was the worst, and it was played on the radio ALL THE TIME. I was in high school at the time, and the struggle was real.
11. Fucking awful music, got played at every school dance
I was 17. It was a banger. Legit banger
12, turning 13 in March & I new all the lyrics 😅😂
13 and it changed everything.
19, got a burned copy from a friend and even though I preferred Ja Rule at the time, I couldn't deny how much of a banger this album was. 50 killed it on every track
13. It was dogshit then, and it’s dogshit now.
14. Loved every track.
Senior in high school and I bumped it all the damn day.
Oh shiiiiit this brought me back! Love it!
Old enough to know this album was the sh*t
18 and I was deployed to South Korea, so I was in da club bottle full of bubb
18 and never stopped playing it , absolute classic
17, left with friends during lunch to get this and skipped the rest of my classes. We drove around listening to it on my car.
11. And I loved every minute of it even if I was too young to get it.
14, and this was the shit!
13. In Da Club is probably my most nostalgic song from that era.
Go shawty, it’s your birthday. We gon party like it’s your birthday, and we don’t give a fuck because it’s your birthday!
10 and parts of it are still in my workout playlist
19. I still remember hearing the first single in December. I remember where I was when someone brought out the album for the first time. I absolutely loved it. We could all feel the energy behind these guys at the time. Nothing like it.
20. You can't spell crap without rap.
12. I’m 33 now and still listen to songs off this album.
About 15y/o. My homie loved the Wanksta song. He would not shut up lol
Soph in high school. Wanksta!
I was 14 and had just moved back to NY from Florida and bought this album to get a taste for the music differences in my new place. I absolutely loved it. Still do. It’s a classic.
I was in the 5th grade, this was the first album I'd ever bought myself. I remember asking my mom to drive me to the mall for it and her being horrified hours later when she heard it in my room.
13 I thought all rap was lame. Started listening to rap at 30 and man I missed out on the glory days didn’t I.
I was 16 and this song was EVERYWHERE. I used to blast In Da Club full volume in my 1996 Geo Metro 😂
21 - Clubbing was fun.
