I remember when my brother taught me the ins and outs of Limewire and I was eatin
Would burn CDs for people.
But yeah, I remember those YouTube days. Would still listen to cassettes sometimes too.
The nights I'd spend staying up late to see my favorite artists being played on MTV and Much Music
Recording music videos onto blank tapes so you could always watch them whenever you wanted
When Limewire, Bearshare, and other p2p networks had the songs you wanted but most were s***ty rips with bad bitrates, so you had to really dig to get a good version
When your momma got the CD you wanted for ya birthday or Christmas and you couldn't wait to tear the clear wrapping off and pop it in your Walkman or big ass CD deck
Getting the latest copy of XXL to read interviews from your favorite artists. Artists still had mystique back then cause they didn't plaster every mundane moment of their life on social media
We went too far dawgs. We need to go back. Our need for convenience created a soulless void where nothing is exclusive or valuable anymore.
True tbh.
I remember the bitrate thing lmao, that was the beginning of me being an audiophile when I realized that s***. And even if it said a good bitrate, did not mean it was going to sound good.
Back when NBA Live was better than 2K lol
NBA live used to be so insane. Shame how bad it is now.
Or when having ringtones on your phone was the way to play music off your phone
Simpler times
my grandma had a motorola and we would play the ringtones off her phone bc we had nothing else
a simpler time
The good ole days. I remember buying Diplomatic Immunity just based on the cover and the name
Back when NBA Live was better than 2K lol
yea and the soundtracks were always fire now they got russ on 2k20
My first ringtone was “Sunshine” by Lil Flip
Holy s***.. forgot that song existed until now. Used to be in 6th grade desperately wanting a girlfriend after hearing this
When I first got into music, I would just watch hours of the 24 hour music video channel MTV Jams.
Even though they played like the same 10 video s*** was still special
Yeah I used to hate when my CD's got scratched, I had a big ass binder full of them. I used to record songs off the radio too.
I remember as far back as 2008 when I use to listen to Power 106 for new music. It was a segment at 2pm called "new at 2" with DJ Felli Fel. That's when I first heard Day n Nite by Cudi. It was literally that day I made the transition to the blogs (nahright/2dopeboyz)
This is also around the time Wayne was peak,Drake debut and 808's by ye
The radio was fun back in the day.
Got damn I use to hear that Lupe Superstar joint everyday too.
