Brehs, when & how did livemixtapes.com take over as the go-to mixtape site from Datpiff?

[TheRtist]

I believe mixtape sites pay artists for exclusive tapes

unless its Kanye...etc. I dont see that happening in 2016.

 

[TheRtist]

cause they charge like $300 for you to be able to upload something... unless you are a star


so all that man made mixtape bullshyt... i'm gonna be a dj tomorrow mixtape bullshyt... struggle rapper mixtape bullshyt... anybody and their mama can join up mixtape bullshyt.... is out the fukking window


if you look at an authentic release on both sites... the download numbers match

but if you want to get straight to quality releases, you go to livemixtapes

it's like having your video on youtube vs. having it on vevo... both do the same thing.. but one of them is a higher quality of the same damn thing, eliminating the bullshyt

if all it takes is $300 or any amount of money, all of that stuff is very relevent.

Worldstar charges 1k and is littered with 5+ struggle rappers a day.

Nah Datpiff still that piff

Check the investor history

 

[fukkyalifestyle]

these sites do pay money for exclusive tapes 100 percent fact

 

[GeeEffKay]

ive been using LM over datpiff for years, dont even remember the last time i went to datpiff

 

[TheRtist]

Check the investor history

very true. LiveMixtapes could simply be a corporate Datpiff

 

[mortuus est]

id say livemixtapes was rreally popping around 2010-2012

those bricksquad tapes

sites pay for exclusives for certain artist that will bring in traffic, just like blogs and sites take money for placements too.

I dont see it, unless its major artists.

Most artists dont give a F.

 

[ignorethis]

really tho? never knew this. What makes you listen to a new artist? The artwork? DJ?

good artwork can draw you in
but usually a cosign from the right DJ

If I see Hoodrich Keem or Bigga Rankin usually I'm giving you a chance even if I never heard of you.

why? those dudes are whoring out to the highest bidder.

all DJs take money for hosting,

but Bigga Rankin has broke a lot of my favorite street artist
And the whole new Atlanta wave Migos/PeeWee/Thug/Quan/21 Savage etc were broke by Keem.

"On the Come Up Pt. 4" with two exclusive Doe B tracks to start it off
"Lobby Runners"

Keem done put in the work

Nah, sites definitely pay for exclusives. That's one of the reasons MyMixtapez came up so quick. But it depends on what you consider major. A group like Migos can easily get a few thousand from one of these sites for an exclusive mixtape

5.... not 50000

like i said.. check the downloads of the same mixtape on both sites... they damn near the same and datpiff probably gonna have more



but if you ask any dj, artist, or somebody in the know, why they go with livemixtapes... it's for that very reason... they get straight to the official tapes and nothing less..


i learned from a young age from a top 3 mixtape dj during that dipset era..... presentation is EVERYTHING. if you hand a dude a cd, your cover work (and how much it looks like you paid for it) is the difference between the trash and the player... and that goes for everything down.. where you are when you are handing them out (industry party or local block).... how it sounds (at your house or in a prof. studio)... who made your beats (your mans or somebody famous)... features (same thing)... cd artwork (handwritten or burned in color)


for everyone else.... who cares right? like i said... vevo or youtube.. same content.. one is where the industry watches for talent... the other..... not so much
