He’ll go down as a legend to the new generation :francis: Our time has basically past. Some artists we grew up with don’t even make music anymore, for example 50. He’s now a personality more than an artist.
First generation where even their “legends” don’t do numbers. Nobody wanna hear this bullshyt for real :lolbron:

Breh pulled out the record sales line like '04 Curtissss. The unit stans hurting


Sales don’t mean anything as much as before, if anything it was easier to sell back then. Now it’s way harder. Now it’s about likes views and comments in this age.

Artists and labels don't really put effort to sell shyt nowadays either. The game is completely watered down.

RIAA certification needs to be revamped completely. Both to better reflect sales and to incentivize physical and digital sales.

I know artists sometimes print CD’s and vinyl’s still but it’s mostly digital sales nowadays and that can be rigged. Everything needs a reset.

The current landscape screws over indie artists and niche genres. It also suppresses musical diversity, which has already suffered since the Telecommunications Act of 1996.

Didn't Hollywood writers and actors just have a strike to change terms since the 2008 strike which basically introduced how revenue sharing in the digital age would work? Why are musicians sitting on their asses still?

Here's a rough outline of some thoughts and ideas I once had about RIAA certification reform: https://www.thecoli.com/threads/jer...-to-save-hip-hop.1036435/page-2#post-52881023
