early 97 someone said in school there are Makaveli bootleggs floatin around in the net, he gave me a link (on paper!) and right on the same afternoon after school i visit a friend who has a computer and internet. i talked on him very long, because at this time internet was not that cheap like now... i pay him 6,- DM for each hour in the net (its now 3,- EUR / 3,-$). we need almost ONE HOUR per track to download it, i think it was real audio or, 2 burn we most converte to wave....
the first track we downloaded was MY CLOSEST ROADDOGS & i thought OH MY GOD! from this moment i was addicted 2 get more
addicted to get more. the next day we don´t go 2 school, we smoked and downloaded the whole night. when i remember right the first tracks was
my closest roaddogs
when we ride on our enemies
u don´t have 2 worry (at this time we thought its named "one nation)
teardrops and closed caskets
words to my firstborn
i was like in a dream, because for me every track was a hit. (till 2day)
we smoke all the time gras n hash and sat like junkies in front of the pc and wait
for the next track to finish (at this time u can´t hear the track while dl it). sometime
we wait a hour and it was even 1 2pac song. crazy times.
i burned a cd with 12 tracks and show the songs to my friends (almost all of
them are 2pac fanatics since now). they were like unbelievable, gimmie that!
when pac got shot i was 19 years old, and now i´m 27. since almost 8 years i´m searchin the net for new stuff, it´s like a hobby for me. i try 2 get every song that leaked.
sometime i´m dreamin that i have the U CANT B TOUCHED OG (i can clearly hear pac rappin on this unbelievable beat from the 8 sec. clip.)
sometimes my girlfriend say i must go on a couch......
p.s.: of course i buy/bought every official 2Pac release since day one, i don´t steal his legacy, i just wanna hear him in his OG-Style. Even dough i think loyal to the game is
not worth the cd on it, i bought it on the day it hits stores. (i had it 2 weeks before it pops from the net, but i bought it too. How can someone blame people like us/me for downlaoding the OG-Stuff??????????????????????????
