your mentality is the main reason why nobody buys albums anymore.

you can probably get a job at a record label. you fit the mold.
No one buys albums anymore because they are free.

If you want to say my mentality is why people don't listen to albums as whole anymore. You still be wrong but more right?

Sure it does, if you cultivate and market it.

YMCMB is a graveyard for anybody who can't come to them with platinum marketing plans and fan bases (which begs the question of what they do for them in the first place)

Mystikal will never go platinum, but the idea that he is not worth investing in at all because of that is ridiculous.

we could always get albums for free and/or dam near. and if youre talking about downloading(obviously you are), mystikal's biggest seller came during the explosion of downloading.

what changed is the fact that the music industry started gearing its products to fictitious record buyers that dont exist. and record sales have steadily gone down year-by-year ever since. the only people that are still shelling out cash are gullable sheep.

Man, napster was some niche hipster shyt.

People were still selling boatloads of albums during the napster era.

Now you have more people on the Internet and more sharing of information the album is doomed.

Not to mention the ability to buy singles with ease from the largest music retailer and apps like Pandora and streaming sites like Spotify

Not only is the album easier to get for free now than ever it is an archaic listening experience

Dude needs to drop a mixtape, then a joint with Mannie independently....

Until we've heard the music, any comments on his relevancy and chance in 2014 is speculative

Did he even release one track since he signed? This nikka should have just started a youtube channel and releasing songs once a week, maybe do some blogs about jail and shyt... try to get some youtube money at least.

everybody know who mystikal is he could have hustled.

that seems to have been the original plan. he had a bigger buzz with mannie.:laugh:

and it was going well, til he signed with cash money out the blue and got swept under the rug a couple months later.

He had a couple of hot tracks just last year, even shot a video (which Lil Wayne ruined skating around in pink like a lame). What happened?

Just 2 years ago he was in Manny's porche listening to fresh beats. :mjcry:

Fills me with anger knowing if he didnt sign to that shytty label we would have had an album already, filled with mannie fresh beats.
