Souljaboy tricks people to downloading his song: • Soulja Boy: Tricking P... - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน
Hello, this is a new thing I wanted to try on the channel. I tried to make it as interesting and well made as possible. Let me know what you think : )
This also took me the better part of a week and a half to make combing through research and articles.
its very diffrent to say the least
I like this. Your voice sounds so calming, the editing is good, the pacing is perfect. Shit I can say this can be considered ASMR.
I like it
Its very good and reminds me a lot of some of your older documentaries. The only gripe I have is that you should link the bgm used in the description
It was really good I like it
2000-2010 was truly the wild west of the internet.
Damn straight
Now it's being corporatized.
Yep. Shame it's getting worse these day.
1998-2009
It's still the wild west with tor and .onion sites
This is how you make a TH-cam short documentary.
Dekarius Small big factssss this was grear
72 Trillion Dollars
Literally almost double of the entire world's money.
Ok music industry ok
The music lables are so dumb. Do you really think I would have bought and paid for 1000 albums if I wouldn't have been able to download them for free? I was about 15 and got like 20 bugs pocketmoney per month
@@TheTerrorHamster You got your allowance in bugs?? Lucky... I got mine in bottle caps...
Mine didn't even give me real bugs. They just drew bugs on pieces of paper.
And if you think that's bad imagine UMG claiming your video for 2 seconds of copyrighted song
@@PlayMoGame you got allowance, lucky
Limewire actual champion spotlight
😂😂
Tons of Damage to the music industry
@WereWolfNights Xd
limewire forced the industry to become digital
Arcade Alchemist yup
Agreed.
Bearshare was first but Limewire improved it
limewire forced everyone to get an antivirus and malware protection
"Forced" many industries to go to digital storefronts.
Jesus this was made so well what I didn’t expect this kind of thing today this is so cool
As a kid it felt like maneuvering through a minefield of porn and viruses to get a weird al yankovic song for my mp3 player
@Brandon Trembly Childhood limewire veterans unite
and songs with wrong titles.
60 percent of those songs not actually being weird al songs
Girls just want to have lunch
@@SolidGoldGoatShow Seriously, if it was an even vaguely comedic song, it was automatically attributed to Weird Al. it didn't matter if the song was terrible, if it was crass, if it was racist,sexist,homophobic, even if it clearly was not Weird Al, it was still attributed to him. it is for that reason I feel sorry for Al, he is being saddled with people thinking he made the crass, terrible songs in the 2000's all because people on Limewire put his name on it.
Holy hell this editing was bad ass. Awesome content.
Richard Davila ? He did nothing basically ?
limewire was the wild west of the old internet days.
Don't forget Napster... 😜
Not really. The whole internet is a giant limewire. People were just too dumb back then to realize how powerful the internet was.
Nowadays it's like the prohibition. The illegal stuff is still out there, you just have to know where it's hiding
That's literally what Steve Jobs called it in his bio
Maybe not the Wild West itself, but definitely a saloon where you had a 8/10 chance of catching a disease.
This was really fucking good, like I sat here and watched this from start to finish. You should pursue a video series of breaking down hot topics like Limewire. I had NO idea about any of these dark secrets I had limewire too and only used it to download music, no idea it had EVERYTHING. 10/10 video, informative, entertaining, great into, outro. I felt like I was watching this on tv.
Using limewire to only download music is like eating pizza but its only the bread
I can imagine a kid downloading a movie then watch it with his mom and dad and then it turned out to be porn.how messed up am I?????
what I love is you get the same amount of entertainment and information from an actual hour long documentary while this is shorter and has the same quality. it does not repeat itself in order to extend the video, every minute mattered. I can’t wait for another video too.
Definitely. After I realized they had more than just music, I started downloading games and all kinds of programs for my computer..
Noob
TH-cam documentary done right in a nutshell. Fast paced and very explanatory
Unlike Shane
And not need to show narrator face just focus or show pic and video on what you talking about to make it interesting
Amen 🙏
Limewire was the best and worst thing to ever happen to my PC. Some things are best left in the past.
did you try to download the XXX film off limewire
@@moist.teabag my dad did LOL
Lime wire had animal and child x rated videos. 10+ years ago there was a video of a girl in a bath tub, she looked young, it was a sad video. people watched porn and downloaded music on lime wire adult porn of course.
@@Tethloach1 A girl getting fk by an animal??? That's fked up...
@@Connetification One women and horse and some people and horses, some women and a dog. Lime wire and it's random adult rated files. I honestly don't know how the women wasn't injured by the horse.
Kids these days don't understand how harsh the internet was back in the days lol
I miss limewire and the old TH-cam.
Nor the freedom it held. You used to be able to do and post anything back then. Today you can't sneeze without being flagged and banned.
At 27, she's still a spring chicken. Plenty of time to sort out her career but like everyone above has said, you need a plan and an idea what you want to do. Ideally it is something that she's wanted to do for some time, but it doesn't sound like her mind is made up. So my only piece of advice to you is, don't get into too much debt with higher education, because if she changes her mind about what she wants to do after finishing her degree, you'll still have to pay the money back.
Steve Thea What the fuck are you talking about
Internet is way harsher these last few years
The internet was not harsh back in those days. Maybe the viruses were rampant, and the internet speed was choppy, but it wasn't harsh lol
I remember spending hours renaming songs and fixing the artist names so they wouldn't come up twice on my mp3. Aahh my childhood lol
Did you edit the meta data on your MP3's as well? I was obsessive about that back in the day. XD
I remember downloading "Journey - Small Town Girl.mp3", when looking for 'Dont stop believin' lol
D. Ortuno lol I would also add the album cover on iTunes
I feel ya
Hell ya
as someone i know once said. "using limewire is like having unprotected sex with the internet" and imo that holds true.
Thank god I didn’t catch a virus 😆
The prodcution value of this video is insane, awesome job. I'd love to see more content like this.
I can't agree more with this comment ! Well done. Looking forward for more content like this. Thanks.
Same
@@alexllenas4607 I feel exactly the same way
Agreed
Agreed, I love videos like this, and I think this one was very well made.
Oh god I remember Limewire.... When I was 13 I downloaded Pirates of the Caribbean first film. I was so hyped and I told my mom to come and check this movie I just got for free... aaaaaaaaaand it was a man doggystyling a blond chick. I screamed in horror and my mom was just facepalming. Lmao
Jerome A
Loll, yeah, i accidentally downloaded some *sketchy* shit back then, trying to get anime AMVs and music videos and whatnot. The bait and switch was outta control, any time you wanted to download a movie, you'd find 3 versions and download em all, then keep the best one and delete the rest.
LOL good times man. until you get a phone call from the police.
Limewire in a nutshell. XD
whats that smell? oh thats the smell of bullshit
LOLOLOL
I think it is safe to say that Limewire spawned a revolution. On-demand streaming services might not be where they are today if programs like Limewire didn't force the entertainment industry to adapt.
It really did man
Unfortunately they missed the most important part of it, and that's the appeal of it being free. Services like Netflix and Spotify are utter garbage because they're paid premium.
o don't forget the effect TH-cam had as well. That was even more of a problem.
TH-cam now a day's is the biggest music site of all.
@@ZoeSimza Except Netflix and Spotify are doing well, and not everyone is a cheapskate like you
@Fox the sun is free.
The hours I spent renaming files and genres as to put together a searchable indexed library is staggering. Almost not worth the free content.....Almost.
GrayLine same lol
Oh yeah, I remember those days, and when you ran out of hard drive space the computer crashed and you had to reset your hard disk, but didn't have enough sense to make a hard copy of songs!
I even went online to copy the album covers into my ipod. Because I was that ocd
LinKiN pArK -in tHe ENd 128kbps.exe
How many shares does it have? Too little? Might be a virus. Too much? Might be a virus. A not suspicious amount? Seems suspicious.
Regardless.. Click download.
@@MyMelanatedScope hhhhhh, those were the real questions back in the day
mis-used capitalization, could be bad. 128 kbps pretty fast speeds, possibly bad. .exe, defiantly a virus. Downloads anyways. *WARNING WARNING WARNING YOU HAVE BEEN INFECTED BY A VIRUS. PLEASE CALL THIS HOTLINE......" closes, deletes, scans computer... has 150 viruses. RIP MY LIFE :D
They used to have a rickroll type of mp3 going around i remember..each song would take 30 min to download at 56kbps and it would end up being mmmbop by hanson
TOTALLY HIP TRACK.wma
Who remembers after LimeWire went down? Like using all the alternatives like Frostwire, etc. lol
lol grabbed myself another 3 8TBs today for more movies and music
I'd moved on by then. In fact, by 2010 I thought Limewire and other P2P's had disappeared.
Kazaa
@@jotron3030fuck kazaa !!!! fck fck fck fck you just woke up a part of my memory that was doomed to be gone. KAZAAAA!!!!!
I just went straight to the bay and other private networks after limewire
I like how Soulja Boy has been tricking people to buy his shit since Limewire XD.
@@fanrosefabrose9457 So u not buyin the souljaboy console ?
@artillery only or the souljaboy car
@@Slashx92 or the souljaboy Soulja... wait no
I've got the SouljaCube and the Soulja gameboy on preorder
Yeah. He's a freakin legend
Limewire is why people think a computer is only meant to last a few years
Eric Stone and it is the reason that they don’t let you use your WLAN, "because you could download do something illegal with it"
why idiots think that maybe...
@@kingjames4886 nearly everyone does. As things get better and faster other things comparatively get worse and slower and eventually completely unsupported. On top of that things break/wear out, viruses can happen, you might spill something on it, or you might even run it over with your car because you accidentally left It on the roof of your car that one time because you were in a hurry to get to the store and buy your wife a birthday present which was that day and you just remembered that coming out of work... and other complete hypotheticals.
Seriously though; computers are essentially consumables. Some people are able to get 5 years out of one but that's the longest a vast majority of people will ever get out of a computer... most people replace their computer every 2-3 years.
👌🏿 very true
Ace comment that one caught me off gaurd! 😂 😂
Kids these days will never understand how we’d risk giving our pc AIDS just to have songs for free on our laptop.
Kids today have just as good of a chance of getting AIDS from the piratebay today
But it was worth it right.... Lmfao good ol'days
@@DoomFinger511 these days you can just google songs to download, beemp3 and shit like that will come up
I burned through two or three computers from what I believe was virus' from Limewire. Back in the day when my 69 GB hard drive running Windows XP took 10 plus minutes to startup.
well kids these days just risk themselves with aids just to get laid sooooooo, think we had the better end of that deal. :D
Oh I miss the internet when it was all new and exciting ..
Dennis Prm and when article 13 wasn’t a thing
i did research back when i wound if interent will still be used in year 2500
did you know that interent was invented in 1950's was all new/exciting back when almost forgeten
till 1990's when teenagers re-invented interent for ever one to use for a very time to come
ikr? back when you could actually find anything and it wasn't all protective...
you mean when there weren't any girls online? yep, miss those days.
The internet is still new and exciting, but it is walled off, censored, and monitored by governments. The dark web still exists and the files you 'investigated' are still online. But all searches are much more difficult to execute publicly not because the material doesn't exist. The search engines are designed to provide the individual with information that is useful for other people monitoring the populace and not explicitly for you.
"Every time something is free somebody loses their job"
Shit, now I feel guilty about all those free Sweet and Sour sauces I got from McDonald's.
Shit! Now I feel guilty about breathing in oxygen. I wonder how many people are jobless and homeless because of me
This is so stupid, it burns. I'm sure people thought radio would end the existence of concerts when it was invented, when it did the literal opposite.
Those sauces are covered in the cost of operating the business, they are already paid for and when you buy the meal, some of that money is probably used to cover the free sauce. They wouldn't do it if it created a loss in profit.
@@rixille Good to know. Next time I get my Big Mac meal, I'll get 63 sauces, since I already paid for them.
@@BobBobOnTH-cam Lol riiight. It's all within reason. I don't think McDonalds will give you that many. Although if you end up trying, let me know what the results are.
I was like 12 and got my computer a virus and my mom made me sit down all day on Saturday and keep closing all the ads it seemed to never end
Oh yeah yeah
You was lucky. I got one of these porn dialer. My mom received a huge telephone bill, I didn't feel good about this.
The worst thing is I wasn't even able to download a single picture with this stupid exe. lol
In about 2005/6 My computer had some adware from Limewire, and my Mum saw gambling and casino pop ups... She sat me down and gave me a lecture about gambling addictions. Threatened to take my bank card away and monitor my account, wanting to see my payslips from work and keep track of my spending.
As embarrassing as it was, I managed to demonstrate that it was pop-ups, which she did question because it was only MY log-on that had them.
Thankfully they were only gambling ones, could have been a LOT worse and taken a whole world of explaining!
I remember my first std.exe had to reformat my mother's computer. many of times.
Boot up that Windows XP Install CD.
Matt out here making CNN specials better than CNN does
matt is the king
Hahhh
This. I hate all the clickbait trash on TH-cam! And I really dislike videos without any footage or the ones with words and music. TF
He doesn't lie.
@John Marston NPCs really gotta mention FOX every time someone calls out CNN.
"the industry losing billions of dollars."
Not everybody who pirates music is a potential buyer.
No, but I think the point is that one year, they made $X and then the next they made $X minus $billions. That being said, most or all are still in business, so being able to afford losing billions most likely means you're often earning hundreds of billions.
Nor is copyright infringement theft but IP cartels will say anything to hold power.
Lolz, they always think that, it is hilarious, they never learn
Right? Not all my vinyl records came with digital downloads. All of my apple music was DRM protected.
I simply downloaded what I already owned. Sometimes I downloaded what I wanted to try. Some games were dog piss and immediately deleted off my computer without even playing for 20 minutes. Others I immediately opened up steam and purchased.
Many of them are.
I truly feel that I'm watching a actual Netflix documentary.
Good job, Matt
So is that Limewire actual champion spotlight or what?
For real though the documentary was well done. Keep it up Matt :)
I think that everyone here want to see more content like this
SPODOS I want more champion spotlights :(
Soulja Boy Said He LITERALLY Got Popular From Limewire lmao
yup!! he was ahead of his time because he was finding clever ways to promote his music
Yeah i member that cause every porn i download in limewire has soulja boy music that turn into MV
I only know him from selling chinese knockoff game consoles
the og of clickbate haha
@@Sky.Lukewalker Trust me, he was quite a meme in the late 2000's. Everyone used to shit on his music so much.
i tried downloading the movie lilo and stitch 2 as a kid and i got porn instead i think thats the earliest memory i have of porn
I can relate

First time I’ve actually felt nostalgia from a TH-cam video. Thanks bro.
Luke Benson your so cute
Me too. I was like, I remember bear share and morpheus. Shout out to frostwire
@@Htx.lunatic frost wire didn't have anything on Limewire though. It was cut way down on the actual digital product you could grab. I used it all through High-school and nabbed everything I could ever need digitally and it was shut down a year after I graduated. Every game you could want for current systems at the time, ever program you could ever want/need for your computer, hell I still have programs running currently at local stations that are older for the stations to stay on the air automated. Limewire was a keystone in the lives of everyone I know back in the day. Can't believe a decade has gone by so fast.
ohh you can still get balls deep in the dark web you just have to use a different search engine other than google lol
@@irvingdelahoz9390 Google is for people who don't know how to properly utilize the web 🤣🤣🤣 I surf it all but the convenience of all that being under one simple page was great.

Also the days of Rapidshare and Megaupload. RIP!
i remember Megaupload, i got a file that i used to install Halo 2 on my Windows 7 because xD, mostly because that game cannot be played on Windows 7
Yousendit as well
I remember when limewire went down... out of the googles...... came Frostwire... and the downloading continued
ares
Frostwire wasn't as good though.
yeah i remember frostwire as well, was literally just a re-skin of limwire. with .0000005% less viruses.... what about Kazaa, at least before i heard people started getting viruses. that was the switch to limewire then frostwire for me
I remember that you could preview the song before you download it on frostwire
Yes! but that didn't last too long.
Just saying Matt..this part of you is my favorite. Sure the funny and shit giggles you is great, but the you that takes time to not just make another video but something worth while. Something more than just a montage of Yakko dying as Singe. I just appreciate this side of you a lot that’s all :)
Holy hell, I want more of this.
This kept my interest all the way through. I knew about like wire since I was a kid but I didn't know some of these things that happened. Guess it's something you don't think of.

Not the best for your pc though

@@Kenpachi66 true, I remember I knew what was coming when downloading that good stuff but it was worth it
@@antonnybh1 back then, security is the least concern. At least for me. I was a kid back then. Never in my mind I'd go exposed personal data online.

Same
lmao same. Good old days
I downloaded so much shit on there and really started feeling bad, now I'm subscribed to multiple streaming services and have cable, so I'm sort of paying them back lol? The kicker is that I never would've bought them in the first place, not back then
what do you mean rip limewire? it still works
life of darkkmane is a lot stranger than i thought it was
Limewire gave me a six sense for sketchy files, still to this day something in my lizard brain goes "Don't click that that's some creepy Bill Clinton porno virus"

Hook, thesis, evidence, analysation, restate thesis. Simple outline, but put together beautifully. This was extremely well done

I would 87% download a car and then get pissed off as the one seed for the download went offline and the progress halted.
Irony being the music for that AD was pirated 😂
I would down load a ver. Of you😍😘
Yeah I dont think the people that made that ad put a lot of thought into the concept
As a 7-8 year old kid, i remember that clinton shit. My dad had a few files on my old Mp3 player that had that lolol🤣

Damn, I was lucky I never downloaded anything that turned out horrifying, worst I got was just the wrong video or like an add. And Viruses were easy to avoid as you just didn't install anything you downloaded.
But imagine trying to downloaded a family guy episode and instead getting something that can destroy your life. I didn't know that was happening until this video. My biggest fear back then was getting arrested for using Limewire and getting sued by the RIAA
Matt, this is epic. i thought i was watching something off of a documentary tv show or something.
excellent excellent work! I hope you make more of these :)
I truly enjoy your content! -love from the Philppines

I wouldnt expect to see you here
This comment inspired me too like the video.
Unironically saying epic
Why the h i can find helios in here?
I remember trying to listen to a 50 cent song on lime wire and the moment I downloaded it and listened to it all I heard was “OUUUUU, Soulja Boy tell him”
And then you went and bought the SouljaConsole?

This is definitely one of the best videos you've made and this is coming from someone that prefers league content. Keep up the good stuff like this.

I can feel this comment
Me too man, me too
You haven’t lived life on the edge until you clicked “download “ from Limewire 😂
More like until you double clicked that ".exe" file.
More like until you double clicked that ".exe" file.
I used to dig around for documents. Lots of people set up limewire incorrectly, sharing their entire documents folder. There was a ton of fun to be had!
I remember Limewire, Frostwire and Bearshare.
Bearshare wad before em all lol
Remember SoulSeek?
Do you remember audiogalaxy? the recommendation system made me listen to music I still enjoy today
Shareaza is what I used
Ares?
Oh boy look at that. It’s my childhood!
Boy do I remember this. When I was in college, most of the people in my class had this program. About 80% of them ended up with a virus which caused the campus's network to lock them out of internet usage. According to them, most of their floor lost internet access. It was crazy how popular the program was and how scary it was, too.
Yeah, I always thought it was weird that you could just pirate the pro version of limewire from limewire lol.
ive done the same thing for utorrent just to get rid of the ads lol
😂😂😂 that's what im saying
I went from waiting to record my favorite songs off the radio to stealing music off of Napster in the blink of an eye.

I used to have my mp3 player next to the radio and would hate when someone would make a noise
Remeber getting like 20 virusus from limewire? Yeah, those were the days.
This was 100% worth my time.
Agreed
I worked as a contractor computer tech in the mid '00s and the money I made from virus removal and re-installations alone helped put me through school. It was annoying work but thanks to everyone who helped me out.
Respect.
Real Nigga
So LimeWire made YOU rich
@@jonathanherrera2880 Nope the viruses people downloaded
Arz2003 yes. From the number 1 site for illegal downloading
The slightly better alternative solution to downloading music. The other was to dance with the devil and risk giving your computer AIDS with Kazza.
What about BearShare?
or Ares
limewire was juast as risky tho
Frostwire was pretty good too.
there was better alternatives to limewire (soulseek and some download channels on irc, just to name the two that i used a lot) but limewire interface was really user friendly and the program was way easy to use than the others... i think was because of that it was more popular than kazaa because, as a matter of fact, both have the same "inadvertedly downloading malwares" problem
China: "I have unleashed the most devastating virus of recent memory."
Limewire: "Hold my trojans."
So it turns out that Soulja Boy was ripping off the work of others for his own game fromt he very beginning lol

I don't recall this channel ever being "High Quality". A better way to put it is, someone who is putting EFFORT into new and improved videos.

Hell yeah I remember limewire lol I remember starting a download early in the morning, leaving the computer alone so it wouldn’t slow down the download process, only to come back a few hours later to realize the download stopped at 3% and I’ve wasted hours waiting for nothing lol . Don’t get me started on movies, spending a day downloading upto 98% only to have it crash a few minutes away from completion lol Ahhhh the good ole days. I also remember when I turned off my computer one day only for it never to turn on again, I’m not sure it was related but I’m pretty sure it was.
i always downloaded like 2 or 3 version of the same song at the same time. one would work.

Limewire paved the way for the future at a great cost, long live limewire!
Between 1998 and 2010, the internet was like this:
- You didn't have to use your real name, for anything. Everyone used an alias and no one knew who each other was. That was the general consensus. It was weird to use your real name actually. Because why would you ? It's the internet.
- You didn't have to login with Facebook. Facebook wasn't tracking your activity across the web
- Google worked
- You could find *anything* online for free. Games, movies, music, tv-shows,
- Not as many "get-rich-quick" schemes (those came after 2004)
- No pop-ups, no invasive ads
- Trolls, people joking around 4 the lols without fearing legal action
- No triggered social justice warriors. Most were trolling
Cons:
- Slower speeds
- Not "as connected" as today
- Not mobile friendly, not corporate friendly.
To me, those years of the internet were the proof that we don't need to be regulated by rules or governments and that people can get along just fine if you let them judge by themselves what to do and what not. Just look at how far the internet has come. Corporations are rushing to get your atention, they want in on what we've built. And they come with their stupid rules and greed to ruin our little place of paradise.
- Boys had dicks
- Girls had vaginas
- Almost everyone was heterosexual
- It was OK to assume all of the above
- Gillette sold razors
- News media reported news
I agree with most of that except for popups. I found they were much worse back in the early 2000s.
damn I remember logging onto midgetfuckfrenzy.com as well. Pop up crazy that site.@@dom4591
Lynchology101 Yea I don’t remember people being that shitty with each other. Definitely not like it is today.
I also remember lots of people falling in love with people who lived no where near them and they never even seen pictures of them or they might have got a shitty scanned picture at most.
I remember a dude I worked with ended up spending every waking minute talking to this girl on AIM and eventually she moved here and they got married. Last I heard they are still married and that’s been 20 years now.
Bound Music • There was no Cloud and Live Streaming before. At least now we no longer need to keep downloading hugeass files to listen/watch any music/show.
I downloaded lollipop by Lil Wayne and my computer got aids. i miss 2008.
Nah dude, good times by kanye
$72 trillion is roughly four times as much as the entire economy of the United States (GDP/year) is worth. Sure, the recording industry suffered massive losses to file sharing programs back in the day, but that claim was utterly absurd.
It's a negotiation tactic.
@@MrKylederp *extortion
Exactly. Nobody would actually buy most of the the music they were downloading.
Is that in today's dollars? May be more when adjusted...
"All I wanted was college girls gone wild"
72 trillion. lol yeah right. Even our gov couldn’t cover that.
Does planet earth even have 75 trillion?
@@jamievmssuv35c15 I was wondering that too haha.
@@jamievmssuv35c15 It has.
@@tChimself no it dont
The Random Gamer there’s individuals with more than 73 billion.
i remember lime wire. that was the shit back in the early 2000s. I never knew it lasted up till 2010 tho, i thought it died out much earlier than that.
I think it's a pretty good idea to start doing videos like this from time to time
I knew limewire was big, but 80% of all illegal downloads!!? Holy fuck.... the internet has changed so much since then.
Yeah, now 80% of illegal downloads are torrents... The more things change I guess...
I honestly thought it was for only music, not all this extra shit!
@@adelgado8917 same
Limewire wants to know your location
Limewire cost me my moms computer, brothers laptop, and my laptop cause of viruses. It was well worth it!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Anything for free music
🤣
man i remember those times... its crazy how much the world changed since around 1990. things are just going super fast and evolving at such a breakneck speed that even just 15 years ago when this was all happening, it was like an entirely different cultural level than the one we're in now, everything about society just felt... different. amazing video karp, hit my nostalgia notes for that time hard. should do a mini doc on how things have changed so quickly.
Dam this was such an educational vid. Never heard of limewire till now
Damn man, you missed out.. limewire was everything back then, had my own business In primary school charging kids for movies, music on CD.. sht even charged my own family for whatever they wanted downloaded
@@BlackOdyssey95 i did the same, but about jailbreaking iPods and iPhones
@@csharpcoffee god yes haha, they were so easy to jailbreak back then
I remember my brother accidentally finding porn when he searched for spongebob squarepants on line wire. He got grounded. He didn’t even know. Feels bad.
You can still easily download music off MP3 converters from TH-cam .... ops
That method also works for pronz sites.
Yup but its not the same
or download albums off piratebay
Shut yo snitchin ass up
SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I remember buying a 128mb mp3 player for 80 dollars that got powered with a single AAA battery
And it would last a long time lol
hell yeah I still have mine lol.. every once in a while I'll pop a battery in listen and vibe. bought it when I was 15 I'm 35 now. some of my favorite music will forever be on this Lil thing lol..
@@chinob6869 lmao. I'm 24 but I lost mine, but I still have my old Walkman. Which I remember I wouldn't go to sleep unless the radio station would play one of my favorite songs lol.
I also used to think I was a badass when I learned how to burn my own mp3 CD's lol
Sam Lung damn that sucks you lost it.. and LMAO yeah I remember feeling the same way when burning CD's was the thing, funny thing is we all knew limewire was basically a Giant Virus Pool, do instead of putting it on my parents Com, I went down the street to the Neighbors and installed it on thers LMFAO !! Turned there computer into a slow Piece of shit .! they didn't know anything about computers so I swore to them it wasn't limewire that was the problem, lol..
Ditto. My first was was the iRiver
