do you miss the little things about how music used to be?

[4fifteenRolla]

I was thinkin about the new bay rap fans that are in their teens and maybe a bit younger who wont expeirence the same thing folks in their 20s+ got to experience. People dont have to be the first at the store anymore, they can order shit online and get advanced copies. Folks dont pick up a few single's (songs) with the CDs they would buy cuz the remix wouldnt be on the retail copy. MF's dont have to sit and analyze the CD by producer, features, track names to get a feel for it cuz now they can get previews online.

The thing I miss the most about buyin music back in the day (just a few years back) is bein the sole source of a hard to find CD cuz now anyone can get anything.

hahaha.. i had a conversation with one of my oldest homies and he use to talk about those kinda stuff back in the day, like when everybody had tape decks, before CDS were even out. and people use to walk around bringin boomboxes and shit, and TAPE players with the big ass headphones. hahaha.. pocket full of tapes.. mayn nowadays fo0ls just got 5 inch ipods in they pockets.. i WONDER if ipods never came out, or any mp3 players or LIMEWIRE or burnin cds wasnt even invented, bet you rappers would put in more work to there CDS,.. hahaha..

i dont have to pay for cds.

i dont miss a damn thing.
i personally like to see times change. it makes life worth living.

sheeiiiiittt.. fuck a pocket full a tape. a lil black bag u could get from wallgreens full of tapes with no cases all dubbed!!!

and the only way you knew a CD was in the works is cuz of a flyer you might have to hang on for years just as evidence to ur boys that u werent bullshittin about it lol

if i gave a fuck about the old days, id always be broke.

id never have no mutha fuckin' indo to smoke.

 

[4fifteenRolla]

^^^^^^^lol damn i hope u had some hoes atleast. but then even if u did it was pointless cuz they werent shootin u the $$

 

[DubbC415]

much like anything else that become a trend in this country, i miss the fact that people werent entitled to shit before. there were boundaries in hip hop at one point, musically and socially. now its as long as u got money, and u drop an album, it could be garbage, but everyone feels the need to respect them.

 

[Mi$ta-Murda187]

Yeaa the old days were cool..
I remember hearing a song on the radio from my fav rappers..
and the DJ would announce the album was out that dayl.. id run to the record store.. and get the album.. now since you can download and listen to stuff way before its on.. its not so exciting anymore.. .

Except it would be more accurate to say "I miss how Rap Music used to be good."

Whats up 4fifteenrolla, good to see another vet posting up on here. I remember back in the day picking something up that was really hard to find and having friends wondering where the hell I got it. I also used to order hella shit off cduniverse.com...

 

[4fifteenRolla]

i feel you. id always be at creative music tryn to get the hard2finds. shit i think i got him to sell me his last and only copy of TaydaTay's anticipation.. whewww that was a minute ago

 

[mExIcaNox4]

i miss going to the store or the malls n having a hard ass time on which CD to buy

 

[SkuNk415]

so rappers should only press a small amout of cds so that its more exciting to purchase a cd. its the 21st century, we have ipods, cell phones with mp3 players, digital cameras, dvds fuck every is going digital, i wouldnt be suprised if they just stopped pressing cds all together and the only way to get a cd was off of like itunes or what not, or download it for free. its a lot more convientent having an ipod that can hold 15,000 songs instead of carrying around a discman with a fat cd holder. If you havent realized everybodys gotta make a living some how.
