Just stumbled on ohhla.com for the first time in like 13 years

Still the GOAT Lyrics site to me. Sure they weren't perfect but I like how it didn't "BREAK" anything down like "Rapgenius" tries to unsuccessfully do. It shows you the words and you have to interpret it from there. To me I still think it's a fantastic database of lyrics. Again it wasn't perfect, there were mistakes here or there. But I think it's still a very solid lyrics site.

Who remembers Y2hiphop.com? I think that was one of the first hip hop forums. I wish I could read the archives. I just cheeked and the site is still up. It's asking for a username and password

Yep. That was my site to go to for album release dates. They would have like 8 months worth of confirmed and tentative relase dates, back when those Tuesdays used to mean something
Then they turned strictly into a messageboard. I check every blue moon, but it's only like 3 people who post there
I just checked in and I was the ONLY member online with 0 guests

Ohhla kept me fed on mistranslated lyrics and a bad layout

Once Steve "Flash" got exposed as a cac from Nebraska it was clear why so many lyrics were waaaay off lol

Reminds me of http://www.rapreviews.com still being exactly the same since back in the day.

The site is even being updated with new content lol

Same owner

Yeah ohhla was my shyt. Does anyone remember thedsc.com?

I don't know how "Flash" makes money to run his sites but I gotta respect the commitment and old-school-ness

OHHLA and RapReviews have outlived a thousand hip hop magazines and sites

When the asteroid hits and everything goes extinct, a million years from now curious aliens probing signals from a farm in nebraska will find his geothermal-powered server buried somewhere still loading inaccurate lyrics to I Get Around

I used to live on that site. hours a day reading lyrics.
