Well, for frame of reference....what are other cities' artists selling?

 

[Birdie]

So people are sheep and only buy what the machine instructs them to buy?

 

[Heelish]

It doesn't matter becauae they all fukking suck. Why isn't this in the Booth

 

[360dagod]

whats the difference between an album and a mixtape in this current climate?

 

[Poh SIti Dawn]

Yeah albums haven't mattered in a second.

Industry got a strangle hold on the radio and they've killed off buying albums BC they only promote certain artists.
