Don't You Miss The Kazaa/Limewire Days?

[5 Grand]

Don't you miss the days when a new song would come out with a loud mixtape DJ yelling over the song, and it would be another month before the song would come out with no DJ.

I don't miss the days of risking my computer getting aids just to get the new dj p cutta vol 7 mixtape

Me and the fam alternated between Kazaa, Limewire, Napster and WinMX over those years. As far as I know we never had a problem with malware. But then we knew to not download a song with a .exe file extension .

 

[Elzo69Renaissance]

Absolutely not

 

[God_Body]

Megaupload/Rapidshare/Mediafire>>>>>>

 

[T. Sanford]

Winmx was better than both of them. You could everything on there

 

[Big Lurko]

Bootytalks took days to download. Fuck that era

That or getting that Bill Clinton audio "I did not have sexual relations with that woman" instead of what you actually intended to download lol

Gave you wack for not mentioning Napster the God of pirating, only to big up the sub par replacements

 

[Marc123]

HA HA. Yea Napster was goat. Changed the game.



Ugh. I remember downloading that lol

For me, it was all about IRC XDCC channels. While everyone else was downloading songs I was grabbing whole albums via IRC downloads. They had everything too, music, movies, all kinda shit. Limewire and the like were good for singles that wasn't on the albums and shit, like the remix to Steady B's "Serious" with KRS ONE on it or E-Rule's joint "Listen Up" and especially House and Techno singles (I have an mp3 of Cajmere's "Coffee Pot (Time For the Percolator)" dated 2001).

Bittorrent was the ultimate tho. Grabbing artists whole discography at once via torrents was a game changer.

It was a unique time but realistically it was reckless as fuck if you didn’t have anti virus software or knew nothing about running it.

 

[5 Grand]

Who remembers downloading the Stillmatic Freestyle over the Paid In Full beat?

 

[5th Letter]

I don’t miss that

 

[L.L.R.J.]

I don’t miss that

There are certain things from the 90s, 2000s and early 2010s that I miss. This is not one of them

lmao nah. other than the viruses, I used to hate when I'd download a song that was just a blend of different artists' verses from other songs on one beat.
