Kanyes T.L.O.P. release fiasco is why you can't fault people who pirate music.

Anybody planning their night around a Kanye album deserves to get fukked up the ass.

His album may not be a big deal to people like you and me but as I've already mentioned, Kanye has a cult like following. Pretty sure a lot of people planned their day around it.

Dude who works for me went and bought drugs,liquor, and expensive food so when it dropped he could enjoy it in style. People are like that.

At this point why even steal music? Just pay 10 damn dollars a month and get everything.music is so cheap and alot of money goes directly to the artist so it's fukk any cheap poor ass loser stealing music.

I dont like streaming music. even when free. streaming music drains my phone battery plus it can get interrupted depending on where you're at.

I swear nikkas only do this shyt for music. Companies push shyt back all the time. All the time. But with music, all of a sudden y'all feel "let down" or "lied" to.

Apple pushes shyt back, false advertises, promises incredible battery life, better durability, and better speed with just about every iPhone they release. Yet I never hear about anyone talking about they felt lied to or any bullshyt like that.

At the end of the day, it's a 10 dollar investment, 15 at the max. If you care that much about it, then just pirate it like you were going to anyway. Because outside of a leak, you can only pirate an album when it's officially been released. Which means you're just doing the alternative, and free method.

Stop making excuses for illegally downloading music. Hip Hop is backwards as hell.

There are full threads here made on and laughing at first week sale numbers, at the same time nikkas are begging for links in threads, and those same nikkas are in the numbers threads laughing. It's crazy to me.

How can people who never buy music, have such a fixation on the sales of music they don't buy?

It's a 10 dollar investment no matter when it's released. You :flabbynsick: nikkas spend that just about everyday on :flabbynsick: food.

Get outta here with this bullshyt. If you pirate music, you're just a broke ass nikka. It made since before. Not wanting to go out to get CDs and maybe their wasn't as many digital outlets to buy music back then as there are now.

In 2016, you have ZERO excuse not to buy music. Everyone should be buying music. It takes 3 seconds to purchase, and maybe 1 minute to download the album in full.

And if you have a streaming service, you can listen right away.

You can't get a brand new free iPhone anywhere just readily available. Apple sells a physical and tangible product. Digital music is not tangible. Bad comparison.

People spend that on food. You're right. Who's to say that money someone was going to give Kanye wasn't their gas or food money? No one should take their fanbase for granted because you don't know their situation financially.

The same 3 seconds it takes to buy it and the same minute it takes to download it is the same amount of time it takes to find a free link. It goes both ways. It's labels and artists job to see that it goes the right way.

Can you honestly say kanyes handling of this is a step in the right direction? The passing blame,the alienation, the tweeting of non album related stuff way after his deadline?

I'm just as annoyed as everyone else about this, but we all know good and well, the majority of folks were gonna steal it regardless of when it came out :russ:

let's be reality here.
Exactly. I'm a purchaser and was disappointed/annoyed, but it's not worth the effort to trip.

More like you lied to us so we ain't giving you our bread.Why should we.

People are like that. They're consumers who are being mistreated. I don't condone it but I understand :yeshrug:

Not giving your bread and stealing the product are two different things :mjlol:

translation: I was looking for a reason to justify my stealing of music, and I got it.

Just leave it at that. No matter when or where it drops, you'll have a choice to either buy it or steal it.

But I've already said I don't pirate music and this thread isn't about me multiple times. :umad:

Now to make you really upset. I don't have to buy it because def jam is going to email it to me an hour or two after it officially drops.

Whole thread is about the relationship between the common man and artists. Was never about me personally.

:umad:
