hey now... I'm black. I just recognize that in the 80s and 90s we BOUGHT everything.
MOP was bragging about one of their albums being one of the most stolen and bootlegged albums in the country at one point.
Now, we STEAL and BOOTLEG everything.
how can nikkas complain about a soul album not selling when 800k were downloaded and burned....
None of these other genres are stealing these artists shyt.
And no, I don't care about sales. An artist gets like 13 cents an album AT THE MOST on a major....
but gets 30k-100k a show tax free doing 200 shows a year.
I dont care about stealing your 13 cents, nikka.
