Am i the only one who doesnt fukk with streaming?

[letti cook]

only thing i dont like is the exclusives. shyt really showed me how lazy i am..if some shyt is on apple or tidal for the first month that just some shyt im not gone hear

 

[Czerka]

i still carry one of these.
my lady pays for spotify and the only time i ever use it is if we are in a car and i haven't had a chance to download something yet that just came out.
there are mixtapes, loosies, freestyles, demos, and unreleased albums that never get put on up on spotify, tidal, apple, etc
real music heads know the deal

This is true, so I have my own music collection still on the cloud. But it's a supplement to Spotify. If there's an album already on Spotify no reason to download it

 

[kj614]

shyt I have Tidal Spotify and Google music.. And by proxy of my Prime account I guess I have Prime music too. I still have to download some shyt but streaming is too convenient

 

[Long Live The Kane]

I'm addicted to music and I'm all about convenience...in the 90s that meant going to the record store every week and toting around multiple cd cases that held like a hundred cds a piece in the whip and shyt...then in the aughts I was super heavy with the downloading and swore I would never buy an album again...now I got apple music and Spotify and damn near hardly download anything cause streaming is so quick and convenient...they actually found a way to get me to pay for music again

 

[Big Blue]

My only beef with Spotify is the lack of mixtapes. My workout playlist isn't the same without the Future and Esco tapes.

I feel the same way.

Im older, ive got about 10-15 crates of vinyl chillin, own turntables and still listen to vinyl from time to time. However, I think streaming is great. I have access to basically anything I want on my phone or laptop anywhere.

When Apple hits me for that 9.99, im good. I feel like it's well worth it.

Streaming is mad convenient just look up a song you want to hear and it's right there and also takes up no space on your device

 

[Roxx the King]

Still old school. I download everything and treat the music in my phone like my old school CD collection back in the day. I have the Note 5 bUT I'm getting the Note 7 for the expandable storage. Damn near 300 gb

 

[born2bewired]

i don't pay for anything that isn't worth my money
i've payed for a few albums by independent cats that i truly support like gibbs and starlito but they always deliver
i will buy vinyl if it's an album worth adding to my collection
i purchased meyhem lauren's piatto d'oro on vinyl recently but most of my hip hop vinyl are certified classics
i also buy merch and go to shows

 

[LeflaurLeflahEshkoshka]

If I like it I buy it but I understand and appreciate the convenience of streaming. I'm kinda stuck in my ways at this point

 

[Threnody]

I listen to a lot of rare and obscure music 50% of the shyt I listen to ain't on these services....fukk em'

 

[Chip Skylark]

I don't fukk with it.

I refuse to. I will never buy a single also. I still buy cds. If that shyt isn't a physical release I'm not paying for it.

the rare and other shyt that's not on these streaming services is probably better than the crap they put on there anyways. if the entire music industry we're to shut down right now i'd be good, i got so much rarities and classics i wouldn't even consider streaming. they just use this to make the music more accessible to people. most these young cats who stream probably ain't even computer savvy or don't even know to download anything. i been downloading music since Kazaa, Napster MP3 Rocket & Limewire we're around.

 

[Renegade47]

you don't have to download anything to stream though.

not know how the internet works brehs

 

[Renegade47]

You don't have to download every time, if you are cheap/broke af and have a weak plan it's just to save the shyt on your phone .

Aloe Blacc has to get his situation straight, the streaming companies payout is over 70 % of their revenue. The minimum the rights holders of those songs would get for the worst paying service (Spotify) is 800k, so the other rights holders finessed him not the streaming company. And let's not act like people like Tyga hasn't released CD's and got nothing at all, was CD's wack or was it Birdman/Universal.

do you nikkas not know how the internet works?
