Make sure y'all brehs are keeping your old CDs and/or MP3s

[Budda]

Yeah keep it all. Its the preservation of music history, if nothing else.

Btw youtube is about to delete millions of unused accounts, any rare videos from accounts that have been inactive for 2 years will start vanishing in December.

Good looking I’d advise posters on here to take advantage of this.

 

[Kenny West]

Still got my ipod and Itunes collections. Hate that mixtapes aren’t streamable.


The Drought is Over 1-7
Freshman Adjustements
Bunch of Chris Brown tapes
SOOO many loosies/unreleased tracks

In my zone by Chris Brown ain't on streaming. Glad I got it in the treasure chest

Also got the old Playboi Carti leaks backed up since YouTube wipes them out every other month it seems like.

 

[Redwood]

I haven’t listened to ready to die in over a decade because of this

It killed the title track and machine gun funk

I was lucky to buy the original copy

 

[Cladyclad]

I was lucky to buy the original copy

I still got mine. But I’m done with cds

 

[Art Barr]

Corona should have taught you.

If that shyt ain't worth a physical purchase. That shyt trash.

Nah man, I rather stay with buying CDs than depend on streaming entirely. Quality always matters.

 

[Black Mamba]

I got over 120gb of my personal music collection(albums and such) that I got since like 2003, or so. I used to download everything but then Apple music came which was more convenient for me. Stopped buying CD's around that time(got over 100 CD's that I bought)
But yeah streaming is convenient but it sucks for shyt like this.

 

[DaHNIC82]

Been saying this for years.

 

[Tribal Outkast]

Been telling people this for years.

Cats "renting" music on these streaming services when the label can alter or remove shyt with zero notice, and you have no recourse.

I'm good on that.

Fred.

People keep calling us though. I kept a lot of my music. I wasn’t mad about De La going to streaming cause I bought their albums. Streaming ain’t reliable at all. It works for this new stuff but the old stuff could be there today and gone tomorrow

 

[Tribal Outkast]

this is the only version of set adrift available on streaming

shyt pissed me tf off I actually bought that album so I’m good but I wanted to hear that song one day and it was gone. How their most popular song ain’t on the album??

 

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

the worst is when sample clearances cause them to use a different beat or completely take the song off the album

like, I HATE the verison of TI, Lets Get Away thats on streaming cause they had to change the cadence of the hook and take off Keri Hilson...shyt is like nails on a chalkboard to me compared to the og.....or on Mia X album, they couldnt use the stevie wonder sample so they got a generic ass beat for "You and Me"........Smoking Green not on the TRU album cause of the Isley brother sample... some of Biggie's songs got fukked up cause of samples...shyt like that

i still have all my cds and itunes library but it just sucks for the convenience of having everything in your phone

Machine Gun Funk got neutered

 

[Zero]

I still got my stash for foolishness like this.

STILL can't otherwise listen to J-Zone's old albums and the nikka put his shyt on Bandcamp

 

[JealousOnesEn_V]

Yall nikkas in here

 

[Yehuda]

Facts. Never got rid of my MP3s. shyt some of the songs I like were never even uploaded on these platforms.

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

I recently noticed on all streaming platforms Usher's Confessions album is a new "Expanded Edition"....however this so called expanded version cuts the song lengths down greatly.

I was listening to "Can You Handle It", and all of a sudden the song starts fading out way earlier than I remembered.

I looked at my personal version, and the song is 5:45 in length...this new "expanded" edition version is 4:40. That's a whole minute chopped off a classic song on that album!

And others are chopped too.

Ridiculous. Keep your own collections brehs.
