Further proves that music is dead. Once AI gets into full thottle, your favorite rapper will be making chicken tender subs at Publix, while busting a freestyle in the process of fukking up my order

I think that’s fitting, a lot of rappers are just that, nikkas talking on a beat, they don’t have the spirit of technical skill of musicianship so they really shouldn’t be expected to be financially reliable with what they do, their music simply is not worth that. People who actually play music as a craft that they shape deserve being compensated for that because it is a legitimate service of music they’re giving you.

Or maybe thats what they are doing. Sometimes I feel like it says the bought the whole catalogue. This article says a portion though.
