its other ways to get paid for your art lol. at least put it on bandcamp or some s***.

All The Small Things

love bandcamp but bandcamp aint giving em (allegedly) 800k

didn't hear they're getting 800k. is that in full just for putting it on this music gala site? or what they make when they sell it?

I think a lot of smaller artists love the concept of a nft release especially with how scummy the music industry is with the amount of corporate control behind it

we're spitballing based off a lyric on this tape that that's what they might've got for making it a gala exclusive first.

nfs why do niggas that would benefit of the streams the most do this s***? Only people that can be successful at releases like this are probably Frank, Beyonce, Kanye and Drake lol

Right here bro

because you actually got that backwards lmaoooo

Yeah, the smaller artists benefit the most off the streams

make that make sense

wait how? I’m basically saying they aren’t popular enough to do s*** like this and be successful with it. Only like 10 people will sign up for this. I’m not even saying this as a numbers guy but more people will line up for an exclusive release with the artists I named versus doing it for Earl and Alchemist

ngl even though the idea of releasing it as an exclusive is not that great I def feel it got overblown on reddit and everywhere else. it's not behind paywall and easily accessible as zip itt and prob anywhere else, so is that really that big of a deal?

this isnt the first time an artist releases something outside of streaming and one thing Im glad they did (and what everybody who tries this rollout should do) is that they didn't put it behind paywall. getting in bed with nfts is dumb but complaining about zips when its definitely not the first time something like this happened (and that it also wasn't botched and paywalled like Black Star's album for example) just takes away from checking out the music, at least in my opinion

oh yeah i totally understand why an artist like earl would have an aversion towards streaming. it's just the whole interaction with crypto community part of it that i thought woulda turned the guy away but if he's getting 800k for it i get it lol

somebody gets it

Niggas gonna get like 6000 streams on the platforms and like 12 off this platform lmfaoo

real music

Niggas just love to complain but f*** em we feasting while they cry

Because they're the ones getting offered a bag to make their s*** exclusive

narrator: he doesn't know how much one stream cost vs. a platform that alleged gives them more than they would've recieved if they had double 6000 streams on the platforms

Nigga why are you being a b**** about this? lol we can have a discussion without you being defensive

I dunno what people are doing with their gamer pcs and $2k MacBooks that they cant drag and drop some files from folder to AM/spotify

Took about 15 seconds for me to find the album, there was a discord link in the RYM comment box

because this discussion has been had over 1000 times it's annoying lol.

aight man.

anyway this album is fire.
