Warren G - I Want It All (The Album) - What's with the Ruff Ryders Tracks?

[Soopafly DPGC]

But how can you be on dubcc all these years and can’t support Labcabin Records—Sccit, Siavash, and RBX??

Because as i’ve said in the past, I support the music I personally enjoy. Being a member on here is irrelevant to me. If a member here releases a turd, no one here should feel like they need to support it. I’ve supported RBX plenty. I have 3 of his physical albums….and i bought them because i enjoyed the songs on them, not just because he’s RBX.

Based on my conversations with Sccit, I think he has too much pride in his work for charity cases. I don’t think he would want someone buying his stuff if they truly don’t enjoy it just because he posts here. Dude has more respect for himself and his work than that.

well.. I actually thought Sccit was dope as far back as when he was like 15 or 16 doing shit like "The Life We Live/we are just kids" that shit was fire, like it was like an Eminem "Brain Damage" type joint that was lyrical, witty, funny, and actually kind of deep and dark at the same time.

So now along with Siavash, he's working with big name artists and perfecting the production side with mixing, mastering, and packaging of like a big label (though they are indie) professional operation.

I support because it's dope—but at the same time I kind of think you should support no matter what out of loyalty to the dubcc.

Go on youtube and listen to Laidback Sounds channel.  Those are the kind of beats I like.  Marv, Knowa Lazarus, Brown Poetics etc.  It's less about the rapper to me and more about the overall vibe and beat.  He has some amazing G-funk summertime bangers.  If you make songs more along that type of vibe, i'm all in.  DOP Funk too, he makes some amazing beats.  Both members of Dubcc....so I do support members here as well when I'm feeling it.

Yes, that was the only track off the album.  In fact, I remember saying when you dropped that track that if the whole album had that same type of funk/summertime vibe, I was all in.  Unfortunately, it didn't.

You and I usually agree, but in this case, I don't.  Again, I don't think Sccit's pride would allow someone to buy an album just because he posts here even if they think it's terrible.  If I were in his shoes i'd rather not even have the sale. 

You buy the album then your friend sees it and says "oh you got an RBX album, i didn't even know he was still around, haven't heard him since the 90's, how is it?" 
"Oh the album is garbage, i just bought it because the guy who produced it posts on the same message board and he needs the sales"

To me that kind of stuff is more detrimental than helpful, again, i'd rather not even have the sale at that point.  I'd want people to buy my stuff because they enjoy it, not because they feel some obligation because we interact online occasionally.

i've personally bought albums i don't like just for collection purposes .. to complete an artists discography, or the cover art might be cool so it's something i want to own.. i've bought albums i never listened to in advance just to support the artist i rock with, without knowing if the album would be good or not.. for example, i preordered missionary before hearing it because it was dre and snoop..

and back when CDs were about music, i've even bought full albums based on just 1 single that i liked...

u gota remember, buying hard copies nowadays is like buying baseball cards .. it's less about the music and more about having a tangible item of said artist in your hand..

that's my take on it.... but appreciate the honesty

I totally get that.  A lot of hardcopy sales are strictly for collectability and not the actual music, hence why so many 'limited edition' colored vinyls are popping up everywhere. 

Plus who knows what the future holds.  Just because things are available to stream online now, doesn't mean they'll still be here 10 or 20 years from now.  There's already plenty of cases of streaming content disappearing from the net.  So absolutely, if you love the music and aren't downloading it or keeping a digital copy in some way, hardcopies are the way to go.  Look how they've butchered Pac's catalog, censoring released songs, cop references, C Delores Tucker references, etc.  If you didn't grab the original versions, you're stuck with the censored versions forever.  Totally buy hardcopies if you can, then no one can ever take that away from you.
