    Not much less, streaming pays pennies

    It’s worth the minimal loss to make a statement

    lets say he makes the same amount

    but 1/100th of people listen

    is that a fair trade off?

    You gonna get the music regardless

    Whether it’s buying, streaming, pirating

    We all will get the music so who really cares

    Most people don’t wanna do the extra steps

    You gotta remember a majority of people are dumb as f*** and don’t know how to work a computer like that.

    I know word rape delicate but it’s definitely slavery to artist to accept Penny’s and exhaust themselves touring

    James Blake is right and people seeing a non black non rich artist say it so they know they can’t attack him

    James Black is a millionaire

    Wtf you on

    We're gonna' be copping nonetheless.

    So it's not that big of a deal.

    Me personally, would do what Earl & Al did.

    Keep s*** exclusive, then release to the masses a month later.

    i think this is the way tbh

    2 weeks buying exclusive and then drop it on streaming

    That artists don’t need to settle for streaming services and the fans still dictate the market not the labels and DSP’s

    I don’t think artists are settling for streaming anymore though. Vinyl sales were 47% of sales last year. Like I think we’re overblowing the impact

    There was still always a song or two you would run back

    Vinyls are much are expensive to make and labels still take a huge cut of that as well

    Let behonest the only way to work Kanye need offer something people can’t have compare to other platforms. He need offer perk when purchase digital edition. If you buy digital edition you will get exclusive Item only when you pre order before release officially release and never release again.

    im very aware of the streaming situation

    if you were around in 2016 you would remember all these exact points being made and tidal being created as the answer

    this is a old battle
