(he owns something like 20% now,correct me if I'm wrong)As far as I can tell he got a good heart and loves to develop talent,but times has changed dramatically Thanx to cats like you,that canīt spend 10 bucks on their favorite artists.Let me repeat that,the industry is fucked because the fans can't spend 10 bucks on their favorite artists.
you make a good point Raide, but it's not 10 bucks. cds are always more than that, around me at least. but if they were 10 bucks or less i may buy more.now, i am the customer....the industry should cater to me. buying cds is not rewarded. the most practical music listening methods no longer involve cds.i bought cds until very recently but eventually it became clear to me that downloading (legally through purchase or otherwise) was the way things were going...but my I.E. dwelling ass has yet to buy an ipod or anything like that....I got an external hard drive a while back but between ages 18-21 (i'm 21 now) as i'm sure many of you know...real life hits and i have practical ass broke college kid shit to pay for.i've supported these artists for years, i have shelves of their records (some much whacker than others. i bought the wash soundtrack for god sakes) and they haven't done shit for me so I feel no guilt for downloading some of the shit, especially since it pisses me off that cats like dre leave so much desirable material unreleased and unconsolidated so once more...no guilt here.i agree with Jrome, let the majors crumble. rich artists like dre will always have outlets for their work.-T
as cool as relapse is, it's too little too late.he'da dropped raekwon's album two years ago, i'da bought ithe'da dropped bishop lamont's album one year ago, i'da bought itetc etc.i don't know if y'all noticed, but there's been an economic meltdown since December 2007. music is the last shit regular people should be buying. i buy comic books, because the creators of them don't treat me like shit, don't care that i am not a woman, and are very cool to me. a lot of them do sketches for me and shit...for free as well.if i ever approached eminem, snoop, cube, Dre the way i do comic creators when i have a fan to artist conversation guess the reaction I'd get "get off my dick and tell your bitch to come here"fuck rappers, they've never done shit for us.if they want our money they better do some MINDblowing shit.relapse is cool, but it's too little too late.kid cudi's tapes are cool but there's really only 7-10 bangersetc etc.we are the consumer, it is their job to make us want to consume. it is not our fault if the art is not good/fair/plentiful enough to compel us to consume it.don't vilify me; as usual the villains are the rich.it's the companies own damn fault.i go to borders, right? sometimes anyway...they got Cd's for 13.99, 14.99, 15.99 etc. talking about it's a sale everything must go...i say they should sell that shit at 8.99, 9.99 and watch it fly out the door. my friend that works there says that they'd lose money if they did that.i say...Look at 12.99, 13.99, 14.99 etc. NOONE has bought them shits. at 9.99 at least they're making that ten bucks back. ten bucks back is better than nothing back.....-T
