Rapper are stupid. Here is how to get ppl to buy Cd again

[dBoyFresh*212]

Rappers are retarded they complain about music sales but don't do anything to help it.

PACKAGE CDs with exclusive shyt like steel book, shirt, shyt like that. Wax paper dope with a ya name stamped on it "50 CENT" or GUWOP. nikkas been doing this whatever is trending they stamp the have with that. So this would catch on like crazy init he street too. U know what I mean. Makke the cd collectors edition. Cause right now there is no fukking point of buying a CD when I download shyt free. PACKAGE the CD like a video game collector edition do and include iTunes code to download the album free. So there getting digital and CD for one price. Why didn't know one think of this. And if they make the code with iTunes they'll be getting bread from Apple for doing it exclusive with them. I should be a exec

Yea I remember when I bought the eminem CD I forgot which 1 but it came with a DVD. The grodt 's came with a DVD. They used to do this shyt when ppl were buying cds like crazy but when the industry is literally dead they don't do nothinf


Banks did it with hfm2 but he let u buy the video separate too and I bought it

Lets be real it costs pennies to make a CD. Maybe another 20 cents to make the shirt. ChCharge 12-15 for it and your making atleat 10 profit. Even if was only a 5 dollar profit which it definitely isnt that's 5$ more than a illegal Dow load

I still remember on Wutang Forever when you go to tour the Wu Mansion on CD 2, that was a dope concept

 

[Sad Bunny]

I'd cop more cds if they came in packages with special items and shyt

I'd spend no more than 25 though

 

[Music Fiend]

I agree but you might be taking fans a lil too literal.

People dont want to pay in general, regardless of what they can get. They just want music these days. 80% of your fans prolly will never support your live show or buy merch.

Now I think it'd work if they did a meet and greet in all majro cities. People get signed copies of stuff. But in all most cats arent gonna drop money on a tee thats rpetty basic even if it comes with a cd they can get online for free.

I remember one of Ja's albums came with a 2 month Xbox Live code. I think it was R.U.L.E. back in 2004...





EDIT:

(Nov. 8, 2004 - New York, NY) The Inc. recording artist - and businessman, movie star, fashion designer, philanthropist, and political activist - Ja Rule, whose first five albums have sold over 10 million combined units in the U.S. alone, is back with R.U.L.E. (The Inc.), his hotly anticipated sixth album. R.U.L.E. is the first CD ever to contain a free 2-month subscription to the wildly popular Xbox(tm) Live; the world's only unified online console games service that quickly and easily connects friends across the globe. The free Xbox Live 2-month subscription card is limited to the first 750,000 copies of R.U.L.E.

The Xbox Live/R.U.L.E. partnership is being supported by a massive marketing and promotion campaign, including co-branded advertising on television, radio, print, and Internet outlets.

I used to play that for hours. The fact they came up with that in 97 is remarkable

 

[JayGatsby]

Include a "follow back" and I bet that shyt sells

 

[DPG4Life]

put a sample of kush in the cd case

 

[Monster]

nahh i think most people would still jsut download it

it would get more sales though

 

[211somelliere]

I got an app with an idea for getting people to buy music again but everybody I ever met in the game or sports with enough money to make it happen seemed shady as fukk and would take my idea like that old lady that wrote matrix. So I'ma sit on it for now.

 

[Codeine Crazy]

I wouldnt buy it

I would still download it for free
