Did you just browsed the internet and found Streethop.com/hitemup.com, or maybe somebody told you about it? Then, after reading people's posts why did you decide to register and be an active member here?
I remember the times when I was in my elementary school, and after all lessons we could sit few hours in computer science classroom to play or access internet. Nobody had internet at home at that time so it was really cool to see foreign websites, register an email account (dont know why to be honest), install a communicator to talk to other people etc. At that time I was already listening to Pac so I typed "www.google.com"
and then "2pac". By a strange twist of fate, after browsing few lame sites that actually sucked (they had only some stupid galleries, ringtones, and pictures with tributes to 2pac) I ended up on hitemup.com. I've red so many interesting things about Pac.. I remember there were few latest forum topic titles displayed on the main page. I was reading titles only because.. I haven't registered at that time yet. Few months later I went to my friend's house, he had internet connection (wow
) so I downloaded a lot of Pac's songs from some mp3 site (I remember When we ride on our enemies og, I loved that song). Few of those songs had a hitemup.com tag on em. I was thinking about that site for quite a long time. I bought myself a modem - it was a telephone-pc analog modem, I had to pay a lot per minute for beeing connected to internet. After downloading few stupid communicators I typed "hitemup.com" and.. registered. I was a total newbie and was even banned at the beginning for some bullshit I registered another account and started reading all posts to gain some knowledge. I understood what it's all about and started posting from time to time. Unfortunately after 2 months my telephone bill came... 600$ (it's quite a lot of money here, more than average monthly salary, it was even worse because I live with my mother only and it was way too much for a phone bill for us). So I had to say bye bye to my modem and hitemup.com. After a year there was first quite cheap broadband internet services, it was a good offer so we decided to take it. I finally got on hitemup.com again but forgot my past login info. I registered as masta247 (a stupid nickname but the only one I could think at that time conscidering I wanted to register as fast as it was possible) and I post here since that time. I don't post as much as most of members here, not too many people know me but I really like it here. It's always something new, fun here. Sometimes reading threads here was better than reading a book. I remember a lot of things happened here, I remember there was always a really nice living community here, new problems everyday, people who helper each other etc. I never actively belonged to that community but I've red most of the posts here, gained knowledge on Pac. I remember a lot of thing about people, that still don't even know that I exist. It was somehow like watching a movie like baywatch or something. I know a lot about people who posted here, remember various situation and threads here, and nobody recognised me at all. I remember all those funny theories in death forum. Then I was mad as hell when somebody hijacked Hitemup. Even after it was "moved" to streethop.com I felt like it lost some of it's magic. It was a hella long time untill it was back and it wasn't the same. It took me some time to get used to it. Anyway I think the profile of this site totally changed. It used to be 2pac orientated site, with a small forum, and a separate small community, with people who were really close to each other. Now It's mostly a big community, people aren't that kind any more, they act like they don't care, there's not too much about Pac any more, it's much more about hip-hop in general and it seems like not too many people here are interested in it that much. It's mostly for people from the outside to read some news etc. but a lot of people who are here don't even listen to Pac any more. All the discussions usually end after few posts. When people post something new they usually make jokes about others, make posts, even if they're good, it seems like nobody cares to reply. Anyway I still see a lot of good threads, I see people who have their problems solved by other people from here, I see some nice 2pac related info, and even if I could read it anywhere else considering there are a lot hip-hop/2pac related forums these days I still prefer to read it here. Reading it anywhere else simply.. sucks. I got used to hitemup/streethop so much that I'll post here untill it'll be completely removed from the internet. For me, it's the best internet community I've ever seen, and I always feel good when reading new threads and posts.
With regards to everybody who read or used to read forums here.
