RIAA is shutting down mixtape industry

[d-nice]

They will just start slangin them for free or get them "official" barcodes and sell them in retail stores. They would set it up so that the major chains could benefit.

[MIC]

Why is the RIAA doing this if the artists are consenting to make these mixtapes?

Maybe cause they're using other people's beats most of the time ?

[QuietTruth]

And how everybody says they can't take hip hop away from us. HA! Yeah, here it slowly goes.

[Tanjential]

Hah, they just can't make it blatant like it's been. I'm still gonna be able to go to the Rialto swapmeet and VIP records and walk in and get mixtapes, and people who can do the same will get them up them on to dubcnn and upload them to you so don't even trip pimpin'. Underground shit will always be made because not all music gets released major label, it just ain't gonna happen.

Just remember how hip hop started. Selling tapes out the trunk. Aka mixtapes. For the streets. The hype. Salute hip hop as it departs.
