2005 was seriously the craziest year in music for Houston. Freshman albums or just new albums from Paul wall, chamillionaire, slim thug, Z-Ro, trae, Mike Jones, ugk and even Kanye. He's not from the H but drive slow had alot to do with people bumping that album down here. Such good times

You talking about the aftermath of 90s hip hop, by the 2000s hip hop u had more money in it then ever before or after they were actively searching for and developing dope artists and the cream really rose to the top looking back there’s so much music but the gems are innumerable
