Getting your album #1 and getting a #1 billboard hit while being blacklisted is incredible and if you don’t think they won’t go even harder with the blackballing this next time you’re crazy

Go out on top

You caught them off guard already

Take the W and feed your real fans

You proved you’re still the king

charging fans $60 to watch him dance around while music plays = an act of charity and kindness for the people

charging fans $10 to listen to an album he worked really hard on = literal slavery

Streaming services can take the music away from you at any point like they showed you with V1

Just buy the damn album

We get streaming services have artists in a chokehold , but the option is don't drop it on streaming and have a few thousand people actually buy while the rest of the masses rip that s*** for free and you get nothing compared to the "something" it would be on streaming..it's a lose-lose situation.

People feel personally attacked because they feel Kanye is robbing them

I pay 10 dollars for 1000000000 artists
Why would I pay 10 dollars for 1 Kanye west album

Streaming has devalued music to listeners

I’m old enough to remember going to buy an album before streaming was a big deal
I had a beats music subscription before they became Apple Music

People used to buy albums even if they were on streaming because there was a value to getting that album #1 and selling x copies

Streaming has devalued all of that to here’s 10 dollars give me all the music and it’s ridiculous

I’m sure it was propped up by venture capital and such which kept the bigger artist paid
But that’s drying up and we’re left in a place where the DSPs and the labels own and make all the money from all the music

Sometimes you need to lose now so the artists can win later
