That little cassette had 2 songs on it.

The first tape I bought was D-Nice- Call me D-nice

I got that d-nice from Columbia house and never fulfilled the ridiculous requirements they had for giving you 13 free tapes.... any1 else rip them off or BMG... I took both companies for the freebies and never paid their regular price which was like 20 bucks or some shit.

Yep. I did that too. LOL! Plus, when they would send me that cd for $26.00, I'd dub it to a cassette, then send the cd back. If I had a computer at the time, I would have bootlegged the hell out of the cd. Usually, it was a cd I didn't care for because they would send me something they thought was in the same genre (a cd with black people on it, basically).

Hahhahhahahaahahhaa!!!!!!

I know what you're talkin about!! I would look throught the hole in the box and if by chance it was 1 i wanted I would keep it and still not pay for it. They were so dumb cuz i was not even 18 and there was no way for them to stick the bills to me since I was not of age... Loved It!!!!

That was 1 reason I took so long to switch over to CDs cuz I have 100's of tapes. I went through what I still have left a couple weeks ago and it reminded me of stuff I still need to get in mp3 version.
