Juelz n Dipset are the epitome of what trendsetting is. I was like 17-18 when their run started. Rocafella was at the heights of their run, G-Unit had also started theirs. It was just a crazy time. But fast forward to when Juelz linked up with Weezy? That was crazy too. Their first mixtape “I can’t feel my face” will always be a classic.

[@bryancole4022]

I was like 14-15 but caught the same wave. North and south collide is a classic 💯 although the mixing is horrendous lol

Juelz is like the D. Rose of rap great but never got to reach the ELITE rap level for different reasons. Forever Dipset/Skull Gang 🩸

[@BIGE2333]

Facts , dude was literally headed to super stardom on lil Wayne’s level at his peak, what really fcked him up was that raid the feds did and erased all his music he has stacked up amongst other things, mental health is a real thing that wasn’t really accepted at that time as much.

[@vincentwelch8577]

I was born in 84 grew up in the 90s we was the last to see it all we was the last of the outside kids and you can hear it in the music from kids from that Era. Juelz is from my Era that's why I could bang his music I felt that and I'm from Chicago that Dip Set movement hit us hard. Good looking on this interview

[@tonetorres4029]

True Young you was the last to see it 👍

[@Menace2Society7701]

Yeah 02 - 03 were the last good years for that, though the videogames were in effect so it would be back and forth kind of thing if you wanted to go outside or stay inside to play 24/7. I would say 2004 and 2005 was little decent for teens and kids still being outside. But like I said the videogames came into play and change the whole ballgame, especially GTA 3 and the like. Head in all of the games. Yeah when '08 came through well and beyond, it seem the effect of the outside shendigs became less prevalent, there were still some hanging out, but that would be certain spots, but not like hanging from sun up to almost sundown. Though days will be and always truly missed

[@reeceofficial8667]

87 here,I got a taste of the last an trust me it was the best….

[@vincentwelch8577]

@@reeceofficial8667 87 you from that Era you was really part of that last leg cuz you really saw the 90s such a different thing to see as opposed to hearing it and us kids from that Era saw it. These kids today man smh have no idea

[@vincentwelch8577]

@@Menace2Society7701 I graduated from Highschool in 03 and it all the kids in my age group in older we still lived like it was the 90s we was 90s kids always outside I think for me personally I saw the switch in on 05 going on up
