s*** leaking a month early is never fun but like a few days before or so....hype

They still do

nah not really

rip plus premieres

Bebadoobee album just leaked months in advance lmaoo

GOAT site man

Was cool like in high school I guess

People would hit me up for leaks and s*** idk why but I became that guy

Now it's different though with streaming and all plus how fast leaks spread via Twitter

NWTS

Damn

now if s*** leaks they just change it all

You still can

I feel like everyone just misses being a teenager ngl me included so no hate

📠

Not what we’re talking about

I’m talking album turned in and distributed and bang someone takes it and uploads it

D-D-D-D-D-D-Damn, son, where'd you find this?

ohhhh copping CD early from target vibe

I actually like supporting artists by streaming their album when it releases... so no I don't miss when s*** would leak.

Man wasn't banned for posting a leak but for posting a Big Sean album

That nigga was trying to be mod of the month lmaoo TWENTY88 is crazy

Hell yeah

Still remember going in there and asking them to grab me GKMC and scan another CD id still pay lmao

fun fact back in the day my local blockbuster would put video games on shelf night before & we figured out they had to sell them if they were on shelf so copped San Andreas 5 mins before close a day early 🤣

Yeah man how much does an artist make per stream?

Is it over a hundredth of a penny yet or still less?

We had it so good man.

Rap forums and general non reddit or social media places where rap was discussed and shared all falling off, ended this + streaming distribution

Leaks put music in a weird place where the music is tainted because it's "out" but at the same time the average person doesn't know leaks exist

Music as a consumer was way more fun before streaming or even iTunes became the main thing and that's impossible to convey now to people who only know the post 2010-2016 landscape of music
