Opinion / Mike McCray / News Songs you were probably conceived to (January 2000)

If your birthday is in August or September like mine, you probably realized long ago that chances are you were a product of some Christmas or New Year's lovin' and since we're all fans of music, here are some hits that probably helped get you here.
If you were born in 2000, your 10th birthday is coming up this year. Should be great, right? I'll take a stab at your origin.
Everyone was on a holiday high. Y2K hadn't happened. The world still existed and most importantly, Dad checked his bank account to find the money from his part-time job at Footaction, still there. Everyone was celebrating. Your parents met and shared a laugh at the bar over the audacity of Sisqo's "The Thong Song," had a few more drinks, then hit the dance floor. Mom literally put it on Pops when Ghostface's "Cherchez La Ghost" came on and after a slow, sexy dance to Jagged Edge's "Let's Get Married" (and a few more drinks), let's just say they knew what time it was.
Short ride in the car with Ghostface's "Supreme Clientele" on and they were back at Pops' pad. You know the one he shared with Uncle Eric who really isn't your uncle but embraces the role like only real family should. Your old man reached for the automatic panty dropper at the time, D'Angelo's "VooDoo" album and doing a little simple math I'd say it's a safe bet that you were conceived somewhere between D'Angelo's "Untitled (How Does It Feel)" and Jagged Edge's "Promise."
Nine months later, you're here! So what if it was a one night stand and Lil' Bow Wow's "Beware of the Dog" came out the day you were born, while Cam'ron's "S.D.E." was clearly the hotter album (released two weeks prior), it's been a good first decade and now you know the story they left out of the baby book. A very "Knocked Up" way to enter the world, buddy.
