I remember when my friend got a computer and started using Napster in like 97 or 98 lol. shyt was a game changer. I didn't have home internet access until like 2000 or 2001.

Pooping on your head :umad:
I'm an millennial as well. BET and random mixtapes was how I kept up with the most popular songs at a given time. In NYC you used to be able to buy Hot 97 mixtapes.
I didn't have cable during my high school years and kinda fell out of touch on the most poppin songs at any given time. This is probably why I didn't become a huge Lil Wayne stan like most of my peers back then
The songs I did listen to were on Youtube.However I do remember recording some episodes of the Steve Harvey Show on WB network on VCR though.

It depends on what time period. As a young pre-teen and young teenager I would sit around watching music videos. As the Internet advanced in the late 90s/early 2000s people started burning CDs and selling them at school.

That's why millennials are the GOAT. We got the best of both worlds, from putting coins in pay phones at the bus stop to all the shyt we got now

Wait until they find out how to bus their tracks down to a two-mix on a four track to get their demos out.
No monitors so the mix wasn't properly EQ'd.

This fukking idiot asking if there were music videos back then. These kids don't even bother to know the history of the world before them. It never occurs to them ask how did it get to this point?

When you were recording a song onto your blank CD's live and your brother upstairs jumped up and made the record skip, so now that skip is forever etched into that one part of the song on your CD which gave it a unique characteristic
I think this is exactly him learning the history breh

Gotta stall these YNs out.
They are teaching them to choose their gender in school instead of history.
They need real teachers outside of school.

Mace you appreciate music more. Now the songs are littering your pockets 24/7 and now people don’t care as much
It was a big thing when new videos came out. You'd have to record that shyt if you had a vcr to watch it back. Recording songs off of late night College Radio mix shows. Dj'ing my boys 10th bday party with 2 boom boxes, headphones to cue up the next track on, and fade that shyt in with the volume knobs...
