    Recovery was probably the best for me. Rebirth was special too, didn't that leak months in advance?

    When The Eminem Show leaked.

    Was up all night downloading each individual song from Limewire on dial up internet.

    Godly though, I was the first person in my school to have it.

    I wasn't listening to rap yet but I believe the Nas leaks in 98 were a pretty big deal. one of the first online music leaks ever, if i'm not mistaken

    If I remember right we weren't even 100% sure on the tracklist when it leaked. That was such a crazy time.

    Encore was the GOAT leak for all the wrong reasons.

    OFTV2 cause everyone wasn't sure if Earl was OF again considering Tyler's depressing tweets after he got back from Samoa

    Love stories like this. Before this was during a time i didn't get into music and just played with toys and hearing people's first hand experiences are interesting

    Those Carter 3 leaks were huge.
    Gave us "The Leak" and Comfortable was part of that package if i'm not mistaken

    I'm pretty sure the clean version dropped on itunes before the explicit version, which is why everyone had that version. itunes botched it.

    Music leaks just aren't the same nowadays. It's an expectation, not a surprise.

    However I do love it when an album leaks that I had no idea was going to be released.

    GKMC. The hype was so real and I remember I was just finding out about Kendrick. That album just blew me away.

    NWTS leak was memorable because Omar from SL started trending all over social media lmao. That "Omar is so cute" file went every where.
