Either DatPiff’s website and/or app are shutting down, or reports of its death have been greatly exaggerated.
As tributes were taking flight on Twitter on Monday evening, the official DatPiff account wrote, “Despite the rumors, we are happy to report that we will still be supplying you with all the mixtapes you love. We’re working through technical issues on our site and app, but still actively update our youtube! Thanks for all the love and concerns but we promise, we are still here.”
A popular post on subreddit r/hiphop101claimed (screenshot below) that “development and support for the website and app ended sometime back in 2020,” and that datpiff.com “no longer responds,” seemingly ending a memorable run that lasted for nearly 18 years.

Tech news site PiunikaWeb pointed out there have been numerous recent complaints about DatPiff’s iOS app not working, as well as people noticing the Android version had been pulled.
Complex’s attempts to access the site and use the still-downloadable iOS app were unsuccessful.

Even though DatPiff wasn’t as popular as it had once been, its place in hip-hop history is undeniable. Prior to the official tweet somewhat clarifying the situation, Twitter users gave the site its flowers en masse.

"Thanks for all the love and concerns but we promise, we are still here,” DatPiff's Twitter account wrote as tributes poured in for the hip-hop staple.

Datpiff. Memory lane rite there.

I got some jewelz off there. Lil Roddy, southern mixtapes, young buck, and tons more. Datpiff was on my weekend hitlist along with


livemixtapes
trapsntrunks
worldstar
and some more mixtape websites I can't think of


I had got to the point where I saved a notepad file w/ the username/password dummy accounts I had for all them mixtape sites. They lost me when most of the mixtapes were being sold. But every weekend, I could surf through them websites for a few hours and download something for my truck at the time.

My music is stuck on there and because of all the issues I can't get it out. They're the only copies I have access to. They need to fix that shit.

They’re delaying the inevitable it seems.

Do a screen record and play the music that way you'll still have it in some form

Even if this was true, which I'm glad it isn't
If it was a merely financial thing, it should be a no-brainer for all the artists the site has helped or the years, to get the it out the jam

Does it cost to run a homepage? Why they shut it down?
