IDK anybody who wrote lyrics down. Don't nobody got time for that. We would just sing the lyrics trying to mimic all the words and slangs as best as we could

T-Pain's Buy You A Drank was an example of that

Yea I didn’t write them down. Just listened to the song over and over. Then printed lyrics out when we got a computer.

The first verse to Nas is Like was the first time I memorized lyrics

The "I Am" album had the lyrics in the album cover.

I would rewind songs mid bar to try my best to figure out the lyrics and I'd still mess up

Plenty ppl used to write down lyrics. I never did it tho

I remember back in school, kids used to go to the computer lab during lunchtime to log onto OHHLA.com to print out Wu Tang, 2Pac, Bone etc lyrics. So much printer paper was being used that the school restricted computer usage for academic research only lol

True. I think the real turningpoint was mid2000s when cars stopped carrying cassete slots. At that point everybody had to convert.
