TDK Chronicles: NaS
It's funny but we were reminiscing about cassette tapes just the other day and here's NaS dropping some knowledge on how it used to be.
Tapes really are a lost format that is probably completely unknown to the iPod generation of click/download and having 80Gb of music in your pocket and probably not knowing, never-mind listening to half of it.
It's a shame NaS didn't mention the Walkman, because that essentially paved the way for Mp3 players and was an important step in tapes and making music a portable medium (without the use of a boombox and 10 DD batteries.) Everyone had their favorite tape and knew the songs inside out - even knowing exactly when to flip the tape to catch a big tune on the other side.
Those were the days...
