^^^^^i used to do the same thing, and back then after i dubbed it on a tape and listened to it for a while i would go to Tower Records and buy the tape or cd because it was dope and i already previewed it on a dubbed tape and knew it was quality.....back then rappers actually made quality shit with dope ass beats and not wack shit like they make these days.
Yes! Prime example of how it used to be. I did that with many albums back in the day. This is one of many...
And to be honest, it's still tight to me today.
