What Magna Carta taught us

[Screwface Exchange]

With this being a digital only released at midnight, this was the 1st time that we haven't gotten a full album cdq leak prior. So we know it aint da rappers camps or record labels leakin dis ish. It's gotta b da factories manufacturing the actual cds and dem Itunes peeps on the back end.

I swear last night at 11pm I've never seen so many nikkas hungry for an album, wit no leak in sight.

[Sam Peel]

yo i was thinking about why people still leak albums, like is it worth losing your job over? back in the day you could sell it to a bootlegger, but nobody buys bootleg cd's anymore so what is the point?

 

[Shammago]

We learned the extreme buildup, hype and anticipation will not mean that the album will come out dope.

He sold a million digital copies of an album to a phone company, making it so the album had no chance of leaking before he could sell it or release it because he sold them before he even released it, and in the process made the major labels take a back seat to distribute the album. It's a common belief that artists get like $2-3 an album tops from the major labels, he got $5 from a phone company for something that technically didn't even physically exist and that ended up leaking almost immediately after Samsung users got it anyway. Not sure if he got the whole $5 million but either way he's completely altered the way major artists will at least consider promoting and distributing their albums in the future. I know some people have named other artists that have done something similar but it wasn't this exactly, nor was it on this large of a platform for the entire world of hip-hop, entertainment, and pop culture, at the very least, to see. That's something new that I've taken from it.

I've been thinking about this as well, someone " @ big business" Idk how to do .
Is there some server that can be hacked?

Obviously these are the spots, although the pic is old I would assume the same rule applies. Question is like you say, what incentives do you have to share it with the world when you could get caught doing it. Pay a big ass fine and maybe do some time.

That Timbaland isn't that great of a producer...
