Was the best part of the 2000s for you?

I liked the decade from 2000 up to 07. The music & TV shows. The Fashion & movies were abit of a mess lol.
I do miss baggy pants though... and prefer them.

I’m a huge music enthusiast so I guess the music during the decade was the best part for me. Not just the R&B & Hip Hop (which are my favourite genres) but the other genres too.

What stands out the most from the ghetto fabulous era to you?

I did like some of the Urban Designer Clothing lines, My favourites were Sean Jean & Rocawear.
And of course the Rap & R&B songs. Probably the music and the music videos the most.


What about you? Did you like this era? If so what was the best part for you?

It was a pretty recognizable era to me that I could see people getting nostalgic for (like they did last year).

The R&B was the best in those years. You had Ja Rule and Ashanti, Jennifer Lopez being ‘Jenny from the block’, and 112.

I could relax all day to the background sounds from the R&B from this era.

Nope, I was the nerdy kid mainly getting swirlies from the dudes wearing those.

Did you want to wear those clothes? Do you remember when Fat Albert was in theaters?
