I don't download full albums. To me it's no different than stealing.

Most hip-hop is now keyboard driven, because the majority of hip-hop workstations have loops and patches that enable somebody with marginal skills to put tracks together,...

Unfortunately, most hip-hop artists gravitated towards the path of least resistance by relying on these pre-set patches. As a result, electric guitar and real musicians became devalued, and a lot of hip-hop now sounds the same.

213 was the last artist(s) I supported. I will go buy the new Kweli album though whenever I feel like it.

I rarely pay that much for a CD. You just have to shop around for deals. I'm always getting deals like 2 for 25, 7.99, 2 for 10, 3 for 30, etc....

But in any case, they have to make money. You don't understand how much that one CD changes hands. Think about it, they're paying:
The artist(s)
the producer
the distributor
the factory that produced it
the transportation
the material that went into making it
the employees at the store
and they want tp make a profit.
