1997 , I was 21 and pumping every hot chick I could rap to . Hip Hop was infiltrated in 97'-98' by the corporate music moguls , leaving us shitty T.I. , Lil Wayne , Rick Ross , The Ying Yang Twins , pretty much 95% of anything on the radio these days . I went through at least 2-3 copies of " ATLiens " living in Columbus , skating , partying like a boss .
