Nah, this lineup is better than the other one, just watched that Cassidy/Hitman clip and I'm rollin, the flow seems more natural. And they are on point about that battle and battle rap in general, lol. I think the best lineup would be Buddden, Mal and the dude sitting in Mal's seat now...and Parks still in the background. That probably won't happen tho.

These dudes all look wild crazy old, lol. Salute to them for letting them grays flow, I would never..

Patreon Inc., an online platform that connects musicians and other creators with fans, was valued at $4 billion in its latest investment round, more than tripling its value since September as venture capitalists bet on startups that serve content creators.

Patreon said it raised $155 million in the latest round, led by new investor Tiger Global Management, with participation from Woodline Partners and several earlier investors, including Wellington Management, Lone Pine Capital and New Enterprise Associates.

Tiger Global, the New York-based investment firm, has been among the more active tech investors of late. Recent investments include online sneaker reseller StockX LLC, automation software company UiPath Inc., Brazilian real-estate company Loft Holdings Ltd. and U.K. financial-technology startup Checkout Ltd.

The new capital for Patreon comes after the closely held San Francisco company raised $90 million in capital in September, bringing its valuation to more than $1.2 billion.

The Covid-19 pandemic has proven to be a catalyst for the so-called creator economy, which has faced event cancellations, lockdowns and other measures taken to curb the spread of the virus. Online platforms such as Patreon, Baron App Inc.’s Cameo and Fenix International Ltd.’s OnlyFans have emerged among the winners during the pandemic as people looked for entertainment while artists and creators looked for ways to continue their work and make money.

Jack Conte, Patreon’s chief executive and co-founder, said there was already a “changing tide” in the way creators were connecting with their audiences. The pandemic accelerated it. The platform, which has drawn the likes of Grammy-winning guitarist Steve Vai and the True Crime Obsessed podcast, has seen rapid growth in the past year and now has more than 200,000 creators supported by some seven million fans, company officials said.

Patreon, which isn’t profitable at this point, offers three levels of membership for creators and takes a 5% to 12% cut of the monthly income earned, plus a payment processing fee.

As part of an international expansion, Patreon has added several languages and currencies.

In addition to his “side hustle” leading Patreon, Mr. Conte, who founded the company with his Stanford University roommate Sam Yam, is also behind two bands, Pomplamoose and Scary Pockets, which are also on Patreon.
