Why have albums stopped leaking?

[Lord Mecca]

OP a fool. A streamrip is not a leak. You think we don't know the difference smh. From the beginning I said I had the YG 4 days early... no edit... you keep saying Apple Music released it 3 days early... that's because it LEAKED the day before... we're already passed that... A streamrip is a streamrip... ain't nobody calling a streamrip a leak. Schoolboy Q will be out sometime today... don't you worry.

No it's not I keep a close eye on album leaks/releases and a major album hasn't leaked ahead of time in a while



There's only 3 or 4 rappers who have the leverage to release exclusive albums from streaming companies



??? Who's "flinging free ish out"?





Some artists are but most have same digital and physical release date. YG's new shyt had same physical and digital release date but didn't leak at all

Doesnt benefit anyone to have records leak. Before labels coulld get that under the table doughby leaking thier own artist. But with streaaming that lane dried up. That with poor record sales...its simple math.
