I remember them

Youngboy better 🤡

If they did one artist per project then tou probably see most of them.

But yeah theres still dozens of big n important tapes.

One if the dope things about datpiff was their download counting system of all time, plat, gold, silver n bronze cut up into sections.

i be finding the most random s*** looking through flickr for old stuff

@lucid

Not sure you remember this guy also he used to be hot asf on those COD montage videos but he was also another dope white rappers lol

Internet got too corporate & the labels finally taking the internet seriously & implementing dmcas was the worst thing ever

Will never be another, even these days a file sharing site gets taken down so fast & the ones that are up have so much legal s*** they throw onto you & as rules

if we're talking cod montage classics, this is very high on the list

Lowkey if they internet just keeps becoming more and more corporate it may just become like TV where people go and find another platform to communicate with lol

Wish we could go back too when labels were still ignorant about the internet.

Artists used to literally fight with their labels to drop an internet tape cuz the label execs just didnt get it lmao.

Soundcloud era is when they finally took real notice n thats when everything was a wrap. Became manufactured or just taken down.

Right around the time UP was released

this is the thing that makes me the saddest

the music communities got really corporatized and neutered because its harder to share s*** and creativity was really flourishing

how come so many people call him corny?

2015 and up is lowkey equal to this

spent literally days of my life watching cod montages, never thought I'd be so nostalgic for mw2 and mixtapes

this one definitely reminds me of high school. top 10 mixtape for me, in terms of nostalgia

"out here in these streets" that cause u do doordash

It's an amazing mixtape contrary to whatever tf narrative about it being "corny" is

It really was and idk wtf happened. Mixtapes were a great way for artists to experiment with different sounds and styles and determine which ones to transition into album productions. Not like they’re gone entirely but man they’ve taken a backseat.
