own your music and stop streaming.

if it does not exist in a physical.
it is trash.
stop streaming,...you are not helping an artist streaming.
You are doing nuffin but making a fake draw.
for the digital fraud artist to lie and generate a fake spreasheet.
which is a fake return.
stop streaming.
plus streaming is not real publishing and is made to steal from artist as well.
stop streaming.

streaming is cheetah girls slash koch slash Disney slash mm bop penny stocks level of the music industry.

I do both breh. I like having physical media or at least mp3s stored somewhere safe.

but I don’t see how streaming hurts if there’s no physical release or if you’re in a situation where you only have your phone.

if I play an old Monch album like Internal Affairs (that I bought on CD back on the day) on my phone as an mp3 he ain’t seeing shyt from it. If I stream it off Spotify he may not see much money but at least it’s something, right?

It doesn’t matter practically to me. My phone is synced with my iTunes library. So o can play anything anywhere as long as it’s on my hard drive and/or in my cloud. But I don’t see how giving Monch streams isn’t better than nothing, because I don’t have a CD player anymore

I definitely feel what you are saying but for most of the artists today, particularly hip hop, it is their choice to stream. some free on Soundcloud, while most that have their own outlets like Bandcamp may choose to only offer there or delay the streaming release, like VDon is doing with his new album. Also, artists have to get smarter and start owning their own streaming links. Streaming is also a way to garner physical purchases. If we stop streaming, I dont think the physical sales will boom to an extent to help the artist. Most are still downloading shyt, which is something I RARELY do. FYI, even though I may post something that I do not have a physical of, all of the above that I have posted, I own and purchased from the store when they were released, so I definitely will be streaming them, especially because I dont have a cd changer in my vehicles and a lot of my cd's are stored away.

I’ll take having streaming access to unlimited music to owning music individually

I feel you. I have an EXTENSIVE vinyl, cd, cassette collection, so much that I have about 2/3rds of it stored at my pops house because I simply dont have room enough in my garage. I do have most of the cd's, but the vinyl and cassettes, nah. I spent a fortune on music over the past 30 years. Granted I was a DJ/VJ for a short period so I did get a lot from record pools. Even still, I spent a ton on music. So I dont feel guilty streaming whether its Keith Jarrett and Gary Burton or Hard 2 Obtain, etc...because I do have the cd's, but they just arent easily accessible. Would have to go and pull them out of storage, and like I said, only have a single disc player in each of my vehicles.

The artists now know they have to release a ton of music to get their revenues up. Its so much that comes out every week. There is no way I can buy all of Flee Lord's joints for instance. He released like 7 projects last year and I think 4 this year already. I barely have time to listen to all this much less purchase to listen.

We're in the same boat breh. That's dope.

I also did some college radio and spent a fortune on tapes, CDs, and vinyl over the years. I still have so much of it stored at my mom's garage.

So same here. I have given over a lot of money.

I'm like vinyl, but I can't buy nearly as much as I'd like. I've been saving to open a business, and sometimes buying vinyl just feels stupid (before COVID-19 and especially after.) I got the new Little Brother album on wax. I got Covert Coup on vinyl when that popped up recently. But for the most part I'm always tempted and fight off the urge.

Maybe when I'm more established I'll go back and get some drops I've been missing. But you make a great point with a lot of these artists on the NY Renaissance dropping vinyl after vinyl. It doesn't stop. There's so much music being released these days. I think this era will be looked at as being realy underappreciated down the line when ppl realize how much was really out there.

Damn this is dope. 2 bonus joints?

Instrumentals for both Shook Ones? :leon:

I like this thread.

yep, and I am glad to see that Hard 2 Obtain re-released, of course you can listen to the entire joint on YouTube previously but this has 5 bonus joints on it and as I said, this is one of the cd's I havent listened to in years because its in storage. (I have pulled up the L.I. Groove vid on YT recently though)

you really didnt know about Monch album? it came out on the 20th year anniversary, Oct 19th. it was well deserved too since they pulled that album from the shelves and because IA and BoBS were eating off the same plate and Rawkus kinda self cannibalized with the releases just one week apart.

Had no idea Internal Affairs was back breh. I assumed it was out of print forever due to the Godzilla sample issues.
