Part of the reason why I just DO not really pay for music. I'll pay for your merch, pay to see you, pay for anything else. But this is a pipe dream for many small artists.

fukk I look like paying some monkey suit for something another person put their soul into. Let me hear the music then pay to see you tour, cuz I at least know you see more of that money.

Music isn't something you should be doing to get rich. That's what fukked the game up.

Lmao@the racism talk. Nah, this is about greedy ass CACz throwing microshares of a tech svc that has a retarded fukking business model at celebrities who are dumber than they are greedy, in this case. I should spend money on a free product because it has "cultural value"? That's the dumbest fukking con I have ever heard, in the history of time and space. That shyt makes Umar Johnson look like Bob Johnson. And all of you fake ass militants trying to defend this shyt are lying your mfkn ass off.

nikka, if Foot Locker was giving away free Foams, you mean to tell me you're going to choose to pay for them from Eastbay because Eastbay says it's products it offers have "inherent cultural value"?

Like these motherfukkers are dropping Illmatic and Songs In The Key of Life every quarter. Most of this music is borderline retarded off-key singing about some of the most vapid and sociopathic subject matter a human being could possibly conceive.

It is a stupid goddamned business model because it isn't a business model at all. It's a quick way to make some fast cash from moronically altruistic fans who would slit their wrists while jumping from a building if they were to see how their idols talk about them in A&R meetings. I am not about to pay $10 for music that is free everywhere else because Jay fukking Z has a minority share in the company. NO, nikka.

Y'all be acting like these nikkaz have Down's Syndrome, like you HAVE to support their idiotic businesses because, well, you know, Black Excellence. NO, nikka. You are offering a fukking inferior music streaming service for more money than the other moronic pay streaming srvcs and hoping people will be dumb enough to sink their cash into it before it goes belly up. GALLTHEWAYTFOH.

I don't need crack dealers trying to kick knowledge about how their music about dealing crack helping them be better than everyone on the planet has inherent cultural value that I need to financially support. Motherfukking nikka, you don't even sing. You rhyme words together over looped instrumentals. You never hit a fukking note. At least Beyonce will try n blow. Wtf I gotta be taxed to hear nikkaz talk about selling crack and spending my money on embarrassing me in the club? NO, nikka.

This is why I go in on rappers on here. It's one thing to want us to enjoy your lil talent for clever introspective rhymes. IT IS ANOTHER THING ENTIRELY to be walking around acting like Elijah Muhammad because of those rhymes. These nikkaz have not even graduated high school and they have grown men online acting like Tiger Beat Fan Club Presidents over this silly ass shyt. nikkaz can't just nod their head to the beat and pull a hoe at the bar, no they have to become insane fukking stans about these street poets.

I know about the free version but it doesn't let you listen to a whole album. Maybe just one or two songs and then it starts throwing in random sonGs from other artists and stuff. Premium you can listen to whatever you want. I know I can download illegally but Sprint gave me 3 months free and I got used to having everything with the tap of a button.

They must've changed it then. Back when I was using free you could listen to whatever, there would just be an ad between every song or every other song

There is no way you was around then because, you would know how it was. The equipment wasn't cheap, and even CDs cost more then tapes, so a lot of people had to go with tapes because it was cheaper. Both tapes, and equipment.

You just showed me you either was living in a well to do area, and had no friends who weren't well off, or you are repeating what you read on goggle, forgetting the fact that MONEY was the barrier to a lot of technology then. I really thought you was an old head who was actually around the things he post about. You got me good:umad:
Tapes were 9.99. CDs from 14.99 to 16.99. And most people didn't have a cd player in the early to mid 90s. At least not anybody I knew. Most people still rocked tapes because nobody had a recordable cd. Once cds became recordable, is when the big switch finally happened and tapes were pretty much gone for good.

This is why I like to buy music and listen to it however, these things curate music terribly, straight trash.

Nah my dude the name is the selling point for the most part. Everything these luxury cars have the lower tier cars mostly have albeit usually not as good/quality as the luxury version. Clothes are the same way so don't know what your talking about they the same the things from target or nordstroms. Sounds like somebody has never wore nicer clothes before lol.

You slurring the type. You drunk?

A luxury car is more than style. Out the factory same year it's no competition. Closest non luxury brand to high quality was the VW phaeton and the Passat 2002-couple years back when they were just like Audi....then they dipped quality, dipped hp, and made it look tacky.

If the gap closed compared to luxury cars it must have been yesterday. But the gap has been closing over time...but 10yrs ago it was night/day across the board.

And certain clothes hold value...some don't. I got stuff from the leatherman days in the 90s I got oversized as a kid to grow into it...and I've sold on eBay with minor loss. Only certain clothes hold value just like a plain Rolex.
