$100 for a Mixtape...Smart move by Nipsey?
« on: October 03, 2013, 03:42:30 PM »
Yesterday Nipsey Hussle announced that he would be selling 1000 hard copies of his new "Crenshaw" mixtape for $100. (online, it's free)

Alot of mixed reactions on Nipsey's Twitter: https://twitter.com/NipseyHussle

Like most people my first reaction was  "How the hell is this dude gonna charge a bill for his mixtape ??? A MIXTAPE." but the idea behind it actually makes sense (to me at least) 

What do yall think?? Would artists think to go this route?
Obviously not everyone can afford to spend $100 on a cd but if you could would you?

he already sold all the copies he had and make 100 g'z, so it's a smart move imo, he wouldn't have made that much money by putting out a long overdue major debut and he wouldn't have generated as much buzz.

NO DISRESPECT to Nipsey, but jayz did some, old man with money to burn type shit....

he was up late one night after Spotting for beyonce on the weight bench,
and he did some " Infomertial buying ".

Old man doing publicity stunts and trolling the social network now..

jayz already set the standard for mainstream hiphop, jayz made it to where, if you dont want to Battle, well you dont have to. You can just get money and call yourself ELITE, without ever earning the title.
Lmao @ rappers who called them selves the greatest, best, ELITE, legend, goat....etc.
but wont battle, fuck drake and his feelings.


EVERY LAST ONE OF ''Y-O-U'' BELIEVE THAT DR. DRE HAS MADE THESE SONG's FOR ''Y-O-U''.
THE REALITY IS THAT THE SONG's ARE ''ABOUT Y-O-U'' !!!!!!

this was a great move and the controversy of the price just drove more ppl to check it out.


and even if they didnt pay for the ppl who got it online might become fans and attend shows and support in other ways or on future projects. it was brilliant each copy has a ticket to a secret show too? GTFOH
