Even back then you had to be able to sell yourself as a brand to really make money in the industry. Shows, merch, endorsements, commercials, etc.

If you get no exposure from the machine and you just have a small indie fanbase, there isn’t much money to be made on the music alone

Only people complaining are oldhead rappers who don’t get booked and really young rappers who signed bad 360 deals for what seemed like a relatively high advance at the time. :yeshrug:

Ehhh. The message a little uñclear and buddy got from calling tech nikkas uncool but smart right after saying nikkas problem is they want to be cool. Sounds a little bitter, but again the problem always comes to we don't own our own shyt so gotta use others

these artists are essentially pieces of stock as they are bought sold and traded . how could they "give away" something they didn't even have control over .

the thesis is unsound

I been saying this for years. Even as a consumer. Why would u wanna rent music rather than own it? It’s stupid af. Streaming was always good as a convenience thing. Not as a full replacement to purchasing. Yall let these folks convince yall that removing options is a good thing. The same way Apple continues to convince people of that shyt. And I been streaming music longer than most people on this site I was ahead of the curve.

This dude so confused.
1 sentence he saying something ain't cool.
Then the next sentence saying mafukkas too worried about being cool.

Dude has always been an a$$hole. One of my professors invited him to speak to our class at Jackson State and dude basically said the most ignorant and negative shyt. It was like he was mad that we wasn't super hype because of who he was.

I had the complete opposite experience meeting him back in 2021 :manny:
