rapsRap 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
Amen.
Except iTunes wasn’t so bad
I’m so proud of yall

The anticipation the early versions of songs, all that is relegated to niche places like leakthis now
I remember getting TML and NWTS early and being so blown away on those first couple listens
It's more about rap forums pretty much being washed tho, we need more for all types of different scenes but mfs don't care anymore lol

Can’t argue with its convenience
It’s the lifetime monthly fee and just having a license instead of owning the albums I take issue with.

this turning into a piracy > streaming convo is so telling that this is just about yal having rose tinted nostalgia for radio payola days n not cus u actually care bout the artist -- cus how exactly do they benefit from their albums leaking months in advance?
