The scary thing is, I had ALL those releases on tape! I still have some of my tapes in a box.

I think the last cassette I bought was Stunts. Blunts and Hip-Hop by Diamond D. No, wait it was that Showbiz and A.G. EP I think. It also could’ve been that Mad Lion banger with KRS-One- CLASSIC! (Obviously this was waaaay before I met Jesus, even though my hip-hop was part of what brought me to God.)

Word. One of the first Christian rap CDs I heard was hip hope 2003 (I believe) which had one Sinner’s Prayer song on it with Manchild. I looked into MC, found Mars Ill, and got hooked on Christian Rap. Maybe 6 months ago I picked up the Sinner’s Prayer tape from the Sphere store. It’s truly a gem which some super fresh takes on worship songs. My favorite tracks are “‘Tis So Sweet”, “Talk About Suffering”, and “Liteshine (Declaring War)”. Good stuff.

Yea I can remember the good old days, I unfortunately got rid of all mine, but a good dj friend of mine kept all his tapes in immaculate condition and he lets me go through them from time to time and remember when.

But honestly I do love digital music, it doesnt break, warp, or get unraveled.

RIP tapes I will miss you.
