then you'll probably be waiting forever

So there’s no chance at all, even after being an Amazon exclusive?

Damn.

I'm liking this a lot. Very chill. But it's common so u know it's dope lyrically.

Same here. I am on a few private torrent trackers (the album is not uploaded yet from what I see btw) but I don’t really download as much as I stream on Spotify/purchase physical copies, mainly vinyl, these days. It’s just more convenient for me now.

I’m against streaming by itself, I like to have my collection at least on a hard drive and I buy cds I really like or artists I always support. If I went all out streaming then what happens if/when all the labels decide to make their own streaming app and it’s all exclusive? I’ve heard Disney is doing that soon and taking all their movies etc off Netflix. I wouldn’t be surprised if it happened in the music world soon.

I purchase CD and vinyl (especially) myself. So I will go out and support my favorite artist and other artist I enjoy too. If not that, then streaming is my go-to since it’s convenient and I always have music on the go since I’m busy throughout the week. I also torrent, but I don’t really do it as much as I used to unless there is a specific album I want in a certain quality. I guess I can say I do it a little bit of everything. Lol.

I don’t see them getting rid of music streaming entirely in the near future. Maybe 10 years from now, but not anytime soon. Streaming is like one of the most popular media platforms of today and somewhat generates revenue for today’s artists. But who knows what the future will hold. They already talking about getting wrid of CDs (Best Buy for starters).

Streaming is obviously the way of the future I don’t know anything else that could take its place, people aren’t going to magically buy physical products by the tens of millions again I jist hope it doesn’t get factored into 20 different streaming sites that are all exclusive. Like who says universal won’t turn around and start their own app and take all universal artists off other sites? It already happens here and there, Tidal for example and I know for a fact there’s songs that are NOT on Spotify that are on the CD and some of them are the beat songs!! Jesus Price Supastar doesn’t have Stop on there and that was my fav song on the album for a long time. So I can’t listen to that song if I go to Spotify, probably some bullshyt publishing holding it back because it didn’t mention streaming in the contract back then.

I feel you on what you said. I mean there are also songs on Apple Music that aren’t on Spotify and vice versa, like The Chronic. Streaming isn’t really the most complete platform in terms of having access to all of the music that we want that aren’t on physical albums but it’s cool for a backup depending on lifestyle. To add there are some albums/songs that aren’t even available on physical and streaming platforms so for me that’s where torrenting and downloading comes into play.

Was watching some Karriem Riggins drumming videos the other day, dude is so cold with it. Project is smooth so far.

Kareem is actually an accomplished drummer who recorded and toured for a lot of Jazz artist.

I hate that this is an Amazon Music Exclusive. I wish it were available on other platforms.

 

[Wallychamp]

Not on Apple Music

 

[Jamaro85]

Amazon exclusive but not promoted anywhere on Amazon's front page, WTF. I hope they got paid properly for this because being Amazon exclusive is just going to piss off a lot of people, including me when I have Prime and can stream it for free. There's basically no way to get this in any better quality than VBR avg. ~256 from what I understand and that is a damn shame.

It's promoted on the Amazon music home page Amazon Music Unlimited - Stream millions of songs online now.

Exclusive or not this has not been getting talked about in the media. I did not discover the singles until 2 months after they came out.

If this was a rapper with rainbow hair and face tats it would be getting a push or a mumble rapper talking about molly and percosets.

No one wants positivity and it's a damn shame

 

[Strapped]

Where can i get a snipet ?

 

[Romell]

Why would they go with the decision to make this Amazon exclusive

 

[brownsugah]

I just purchased and uploaded it. Lemme know if y'all need it. ;)
