We're at a point where nostalgia no longer applies solely to 90s hip-hop. Your Old Droog, who's young enough to have been introduced to rap in the 00s, has decided to reflect on the good ol' days of the early aughts on his new freestyle. Reminiscing on the "tall tee rap" of yore, Droog remembers reading XXL Magazine, listening to Hot 97 and the like. 

He chooses a Just Blaze beat on the second half of the track, bringing us right back to the era he's referencing, and venting on the many rappers who only got recognized after their time had passed. Do you miss this era of rap? Let us know in the comments below.

Quotable Lyrics:
And a bunch of these corny ass cats
Waited til he went in to say they liked Max
No, I don't want mine to be that slow
I just hope that you give me my roses before I go
