    Its pretty f***ing disrespectful to people who have to engage in prison labor to say someone worth millions of dollars and can walk around outside whenever they want has it just as bad as them

    when did I say its equivalent conditions. That is a bad faith reading and I know you can read. You read the surgeon general warning on cigarettes.

    No, you made an incredibly bad faith and stupid comparison.

    Name a slave with a Sprite sponsorship
    Or a shoe deal?

    Nigga you are not the monolithic voice of black people


    Even the '40 million dollar slave' concept isn't real slavery

    in the art side as in dropping of music

    There are levels of being a slave. We are all in many ways slaves to a system. No it doesnt compare to chattel slavery, sweatshops or prison labor as equivalent the point is on the art side they are making very little solely art

    you get into sponsorships they are choosing their price of their freedom or lack there of to do or say what they want.

    how much do they get paid per stream?
    If you want to listen to an artist entire discography then review it how much did they get paid for countless hours of work ?

  • 1996 BRL

    Streams accumulate
    He has 3.7m monthly listeners

    Slaves have broken bodies from horrendous treatment, have to witness their family be ripped apart at auction blocks, no autonomy, live under constant thread of death and violation, etc etc

    how many hours did he work for those 3.7 monthly listeners

    Leave Officer Sab outta this

    what's your take on all this bud?

  • 1996 BRL

    No...

    It is not valid for his particular case

    I said he is reaching because he said 'that post' is the justification for why he acts ridiculous/over the top/like it's life or death in every thread


    In isolation the post can be true, but it is not a valid justification for how he's acted on this forum for like 5 years across several alts

    I just agree when it comes to being a nigga on here, there's some niggas that don't allow thought to be discussed. Not saying it's you specifically, because y'all convo really just a matter of opinion and perspective, but there's definitely a code on here is all I'm saying.

    As crazy as cuz act, most of that s*** be just imo. He be tweaking and going on for forever but niggas do be infringing on him also

  • I am not saying its a direct equivalent to slavery at all . your ability to take everything literal is why you are offended at what vince said about the cheeseburgers in the first place.

    You can t even think outside the box to the slightest degree and thats why you arent an artist and go to artist.

  • coldfire

    I’m surprised most people don’t agree with the overall idea, especially here.

    Because the overall idea isn't some kinda crazy or groundbreaking s*** lol

    Yeah man albums aren't supposed to be perfect. I don't think I have ever heard anybody say an album that they're anticipating is going to be or has to be perfect. They just hope it's good. At most, an album is not supposed to be bad. I think the artist making it and the label it's coming out on, if signed, would agree with that. Unless you're like Lou Reed or Bob Dylan and intentionally make a bad album to get out of some deal or as a middle finger to fans.

    People are allowed to say an album isn't good. People are allowed to say they don't like the creative choices an artist made on album. Regardless of whether their ass is thoroughly wiped/washed or not.

    He didnt need to be doing that but that made him infinitely more money than his streams would or even tours and sold his likeness to a corporation.

    He wouldn't be on a Sprite can to begin with if he didn't rap. Stop nigga lmfaoooo

    You're mixing two different concepts, streaming royalties not being fair which honestly stems from 2000's piracy and the ridiculous idea of rappers being "slaves" lmaoo

    it comes across as cringey/punching down for a multi-millionaire to take the time to decry something some guy who makes a fraction of what he does wrote about him online...

  • again if I critique your favorite artist right now where you played 0 part in the creation of the art. You have never met them in your lfie. Their music will be the exact same no matter what I say. many on this site will personally atack me the messenger

    He is in general saying people should be less hyper critical of artistic choices

    When I review I say why something isnt for me

    not why something shouldnt be for anyone. some critics make it about why something shouldnt be for anyone
