No one can knock on someone for not buying music today. Just look at the quality of the Hip Hop being released today. If I were younger in todays age, I probably wouldn't buy it either. Hip Hop has just become an advertisement genre, and merchandise outlet for organizations

Those of us who were buying CD's in the 90's experienced the good old days. When you could go out and buy 4/5 albums, and them all being listenable to average at worst, and hot at best. Where most of the albums where reasonably solid releases. I can remember britannia - A british version of what Nikk mentioned. You would purchase 4 CD albums and only pay for one. These were the times when all genre's had quality to the music, and that was a huge reason people actually bought albums as well... Confidence in the industry was really high, money was rarely wasted like it would be today. I can count on 2 hands the number of Hip Hop albums I've bought in the last 3 years

Only idiots pay for music.

Well lucky for you I guess. If there weren't idiots, all of these albums wouldn't be coming out.

lol, yes they would & it would result in better Hip Hop.

If the genre died mainstream people wouldn't attempt to make radio-friendly music.

But you listen to mainstream rappers or rappers that are chasing the mainstream. I might be happy, because I also listen to experimental shit from artists who don't give a fuck and do it because they want to. But your brand of rap would die out. A lot of those dudes would quit making music if there was no money in it.

I'm open minded about mainstream music. But I'm looking out for the rest of you guys.

It doesn't tend to matter if the music sucks. The industry will still get it's money. Rights and advertising, investments, merchandise etc, not to mention a lot of artists are getting worse deals.

Just look at all the Interscope Records videos and tell me how many beats by dre products you have seen on them. How many drinks, sporting goods, and clothing labels you have seen in recent times. The fact no one buys the music due to quality, just pushes the alternative money making avenues in the industry which IMO further degrades the focus, and energy on the quality of the music
