Schooling people takes forever; don't bother
Filename: Doggiestyle

Video: Starts out grainy...then I slowly realize its a dog mounting a woman and fukking her on the kitchen counter :dwillhuh:

That shyt is ingrained in my memory
shyt's wild...people be looking for the pee tape, stumbling onto wild videos that they didn't know existed, and everything....VLC player got huge around this time because it would play all the videos that default video players can't because of random file corruption during the download process

I was fixing computers at my dorm at the time and it's wild how many people just had that limewire download folder full of crazy shyt they've downloaded and asked me to fix without hiding or deleting any of the files

Audio galaxy was the goat

:salute:

I used to do an engineering/production course and they had shyt there I could use. I used to search for as many songs as I could find off an album and let that download that while I was learning pro tools and reason etc and recording cats in the booth. Was a handy way to get a lot of out of print and hard to find stuff without using my own internet and money

Stopped using Limewire when my university began monitoring copyright claims. They would take your PC and wipe it clean.

It was hilarious that he admitted to naming the file 50 cent - In Da Club or Eminem, etc

Yup, breh would name the shyt whatever song was popping at the moment. Had 16-year-old white girls in Idaho like

Limewire didn't hold me down...but babyyyyy

BEARSHARE was the goat. I'd be up countless nights just searching and downloading. I was the only dude in my clique with a ipod and it was laced with music lol. The game changed when my parents went from 56k dial up to DSL/CABLE, download speeds skyrocketed and the depths my exploration would go was endless.

When you find that exclusive track and the dumbass who uploaded it added that annoying tag that overlaps the beginning of the first verse.

“It’s the neewwwww, blah blah blah, ever lasting bass, STYLEEEEE!”

NGL, i was a cheapskate back then and I didn't want to pay for the price of a double CD when you're only getting 4 new songs for 2Pac's greatest hits ...Changes and Unconditional Love were already singles and I haven't heard the other 2 songs at the time

when i first heard troublesome 96...holy fukk, i probably played and rewound that joint 100 times...it was the best 96 kbps song I've ever heard, lmfao...god bless the dead when he was saying RIP to biggie smalls was insane too...I initially thought that it was a fan-edit but apparently, there's another guy also named biggie smalls
