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

[Get Right]

I dont see it, unless its major artists.

Most artists dont give a F.

It's not speculatory breh.

They pay for exclusives from certain artists, period.

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

Well stated

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.

yeah money doesnt scare wack nikkas away. the wackest nikkas got the most money to blow on shyt like this.

At some brehs not knowing that mixtape sites pay artists for exclusives. I thought that was a well known thing.
That's why artists still do it to this day.
Artists can easily put their music on soundcloud and be done with it.
Here's proof

I made the move over to livemixtapes cause I always had problems with playing datpiff files in my mp3 player

 

[L&HH]

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

Nah, they actually do pay rappers to exclusively release they're stuff on their site. A couple artists have let it out the bag. Troy Ave has mentioned in interviews that they've offered him $20k-$30k. Check out some of his breakfast club interviews where he's mentioned it.

Datpiff honestly is way faster when it comes to downloading music, but they let anybody submit to the site.

Livemixtapes filtered out the bullshyt and actually makes sure you're worth something as an artist before you even get posted on their Indy site, let alone the main Livemixtapes site.

It's kinda nice to go the Livemixtapes front page and know everybody in there got some type of legitimate buzz or backing. Versus Datpiff where you'll see Mixtapes that were recorded in some college Internet rapper's dorm closet.

Tbh this where you find good mixtapes though. Dudes act like you gotta have a name to produce something worth hearing.

No name DJs coming out with flame mixtapes

[KRiLL (+)]
