Don't get me wrong I still always buy the albums too, it just isn't the same as back in the day.  Even if you don't download the album ahead of time it still gets talked about a lot on this board, so you lose some of the surprise from that too.  Back in the day you had no idea what to expect until you listen to the album.  Just think back to the day you bought The Doggfather.  I bought that cd the day it came out, and I was so damn excited.  That was probably my most anticipated cd ever, and I was let down big time.  Anyone else buy the Doggfather the day it dropped and feel the same way?

I remember buying that album the same day I bought the Makaveli CD.  I don't know if it was on the release day or not, but I was hyped over both CDs.  The Doggfather was a complete dissapointment for me, and I was like 13.  But the Makaveli cd just blew me away.  I was 13 and didn't really know about the 2pac/Biggie beefs, so I didn't really know what he was talking about on "BombFirst" but best believe that shit was tight.

And to keep in the topic, I really lost the anticipation of buying a CD.  I remember before I found out I could download albums, I was just like everyone else:  I couldn't wait for the day an album dropped.  I remember being in 5th grade when my cousin didn't take me to school one day so we could go buy a copy of Warren G's "Regulate" album when the store opened.  It used to be a great feeling, knowing that the album would be dope as fuck.  But now with the power of the Internet, that feeling went away.  The last time I really got hyped up for an album was when "The Slim Shady LP" was released.  I had been hearing about Eminem on some hip-hop sites, and even bought the "I Just Don't Give A Fuck" EP single.  That was really the last time I got hyped up over an album I knew I was buying.  And the last album I bought was "The Marshall Mathers LP".  Since then mIRC has been my record store.

Thanks to cheap dirtbags like yourself, artists such as Kurupt have to collaborate with Limp Bizcuit, and make songs like It's Over in order to get some sales.  And if you like Daz, go out and buy his new album and show some damn appreciation for good music.

I'm a "cheap dirtbag," thank you very much.  The Internet gives you the power of free news, free porn, and in this case, FREE MUSIC.  And besides, half the people who say they buy records on this site don't even do that.  They just say it so they're not called "cheap dirtbags".  Just like everyone here LOOOOOOOOOOOVES Rakim, but hasn't heard anything he's done BEFORE "Addictive."  SO HA!
