why we acting like we didn't dub our own mixtapes back in the day? i had shyt loads of tapes with my own songs on there. lots of albums as well but sometimes if the album didn't take up the whole tape i would throw other random songs on the end or even just start the album again
I didn't do that, perhaps I'm too young for the tape era.
I bought cds and played the whole cd
It wasn't until CD burners started poppin on computers around 1999/2000 for me, but even then I really didn't burn too many mixes.. by 03/04 it was over, probably bought more cds in 2002 than between 03-12

I think the mystique of music is slowly dissipating as well .
Back in the day you'd buy albums off artist strength , magazines and word of mouth. People needed some kind of charisma , credibility and pull to warrant your purchase .
Now a click of a mouse can not only obtain albums , but it can make albums as well . Doesn't take much with modern software to put music together .
The influx of bedroom producers is huge . Things are becoming devalued , because everything is at an arms length.

yeah most of my teenage years from about 12-18 were just buying CDs and then bumping them. i missed out on a lot of music i didn't purchase/hear about but i still have so many random songs memorized from those hundreds of albums.
i was late on the internet era, and i find myself buying less CDs but i'm still trying to go out and cop when i can/feel like

Dreams and Nightmares got deleted off my iPod with the quickness
GFID wasnt talked about after a week or two
Lupe album lasted in discussions for maybe 2 or 3 days
GKMD still has legs
but shyt...what other rap albums had an impact or event-like status?
The game done changed...or maybe its because im not in high school anymore
or because im surrounded by cacs in corporate america
Dreams and Nightmares most skippable when I was at the gym. That Mary J. Blidge song came on and I fukked up my rep doing leg press
lol @ these excuses.
like my man davey dave said, people have been dubbin tapes since forever. free music aint nothing new. and then you factor in $5 bootlegs. thats darn-near free as well.
so free music has nothing to do with it.
and as far as the internet goes, people have been downloading like crazy since '99-00 at the latest. how come albums werent "coming & going" back then?
we're in the dark ages. the longer you stay in denial, the longer the f**kery will continue.

I'm that dude that likes to download and give everything a fair shake.
Generally speaking, I have quite a lot of free time to listen to new shyt and even for me there really isn't enough hours in the day to do so. Sometimes it's a week before I get to bang a mixtape properly and in that time three more projects come out that sit on my iTunes waiting to digest. I ain't mad at it but sometimes I miss so many piff tracks that I wouldn't do before because I can't let them grow on me.
It's only now that I'm appreciating how dope Cruel Summer is. If that wasn't a Kanye release it probably would've go thrown in the bushes like that A Loose Quarter mixtape. It's straight piff though. I ain't properly banged that Budden yet and with Jeezy, Tip and Sosa all expecting to drop in the next few days...
Them first world problems there.

music used to come out at a more rapid pace.
we used to get more high-profile albums in ONE DAY than we get in a whole year nowadays.

this is it, and pretty much everyone that drops puts out at least a feq quality songs on their release and the rest are medicore so we get used to thinking these albums come and go with nothing special on em
there's just too much fukkin music
it's crazy that this is a problem for consumers but it is from an appreciation standpoint
