Going to the university in late 2006, I had more than half of a big Ghana-must-go (traveling bag) filled with music CDs. Before you start doing the math, no. CDs weren't completely out of date in Northern Nigeria then. I've had an MP3 player with 123mb space. I had a Sendo phone that could carry two or three tracks, but CDs were still the major mass storage library. Also, a lot of my kind of music wasn't readily online then. I think the only popular CD in my collection was Lloyd Banks' THE HUNGER FOR MORE album. My brother had 50 Cent's GET RICH OR DIE TRYIN' so I didn't need to buy it. Anyway, most of my CDs were rare Hip hop like THE VIOLATOR VOL.2, GAME OVER: Part 2, SOUND BOMBING II, and GAME FOR SALE compilation albums; Masta Ace's DISPOSABLE ARTS, a Tupac's special DJ mix, and so on. I also had some rare non-hip hop ones like The Carpenters, Eric Donaldson, Enya, and Lighthouse Family. I had zero pop music. Well, except for that one Avril Lavigne album. You should guess.
