RBL Posse's Ruthless By Law album and Young Cellski's Mr. Predicter album had heavy tape play. I played those 2 albums so much the sound quality on the tape became so poor. And I was so pissed to find out that Young Cellski's Mr. Predicter album was only on tape when it had first been released because I finally had made that transition from tape to CD at that time.
Bought the tape anyway.

You from the 94-95 era if:
- You bought all your music at Scott's Music Center, Rasputins or Stop Look & Listen
- Everything you wore was Fila or North Carolina blue
- Your bedroom walls were covered with promo posters from every damn Bay artist, wether they were weak or not
- You made pipes out of damn near everything
- You ordered youe whole wardrobe out of the Eastbay catalog
- Every rapper you loved from the Bay signed with Priority or Relativity
- There were no such thing as OG copys of CDs
- You was waiting forever for that new IMP album
- Squares would sing the "Game Recognize Game" hook and say "CAN'T recognize game in the Bay mang."
- Herm "Trying To Survive In The Ghetto" was the first time you ever heard the word "compilation" and didnt even know what the hell it meant.

when u started makin the transition from metal pipes and plastic bongs to glass pieces...
when all the chronic was really bomb and didnt have to deal with overfertalized commercial hydroponics that taste like shit
when half your music collection is tapes and the other half cd
you were cruisin on santa clara street when it was actually poppin
you got your first tastes of pussy when you went to the EDGE in palo alto.

lol oh yeah i forgot about that shit... i was hella waiting n shit and waiting and waiting.... thinking there was a big ass gap inbetween the song... i couldn't believe that shit.... i kept fast forwarding.... pressing play.... fast forward, play ..... nothing and i kept looking at the tape and i still had high hopes cuz there was still a lot of tape left. In the end... nothing.... Side A had already came to an end i was pumped. I was hoping it was gonna be the first song on Side B but it wasn't. So what i did was dub stressed out from wcbb1 on the cellski tape since there was hella tape room on Side A. It didn't do justice tho cuz the recordings sounded hella different. The sound quality on Stressed Out sounded hella crappy compared to the rest of the album
