If you got 3 tracks off a hip hop album you’d nailed it.

Yes, there are exceptions, we now call them classics

But you owned it. So you could sell the CD and recoup almost all of your money.

The person who made this meme is too young to know about reselling stuff they own.

Back in those days you could listen to the record/cassette/cd in the store before you bought it. They would have these headphones you could use.

So it's not as big of a problem as this meme would make it seem.

It's 1999. Why are you paying for music at all? Napster still exists for you.

Only about 4% of the worlds population had internet access in 1999.
