EXCLUSIVE: DatPiff Hip Hop Mixtape Archive DISAPPEARS Overnight! Is It Gone Forever?
Manage episode 443059201 series 2330579
DatPiff.com was the premier online home for Hip Hop mixtapes, hosting upwards of 600,000+ uploaded rap compilations from DJs, superstars, and bedroom artists.
In late 2023, however, the site was failing, leaving the future of its enormous musical and cultural collection in doubt.
The site made headlines in early 2024, linking up with The Internet Archive, a home for vast amounts of digital properties, in a move that was seen as a way to keep its vast array of musical compilations safe for the future.
A few days ago, with no warning or explanation from DatPiff OR The Internet Archive, all 366,420 rap mixtapes being housed on the latter site, disappeared.
We spoke exclusively with radio host Richard, aka u/AyoRet on Reddit, who discovered the rap mixtape archive pruning and brought it to the attention of the Hip Hop world.
