    And if the album didnt leak it would do even more.

    He is better off just having physicals, boxsets, and fanpacks ready.

    But they did. And it didn’t matter. Which was my point.

    Also stagnant wages make a $20 album today more expensive than a $10-$13.99 album a decade ago so I understand that side of it

    streaming platforms made y’all f***ers ungrateful to what music really is imagine spending months or years in studios creating something meaningful for some f***ers on the internet to listen to it once at the price of a mc donalds menu and then make a review on youtube where they can generate an income of 100-500$ from ads they don’t even own

    Real

    I think the main issue is that it is a digital album.

    Now imagine those who paid for a ticket after the album dropped if you so badly felt the need to throw away $100+ give that s*** to a charity or sum and then go bump the album with headphones

    Man I think that price is high even for a live performance, but then you are actually getting your moneys worth. This is just a scam

    I'd do it too if the entry level ticket that gets you seated right next to Michael Jackson and King Von wasn't priced at $100

    Real

    It's kinda real

    To me the problem is not that musicians should make lots and lots of money compared to regular people, everyone should be able to live comfortably and express themselves the way they want to through music, design, whatever!

    Ads and marketing feeding over-consumption needs to stop

    Kanye is talking about $20 for a digital download. For $20 you used to have the whole CD with a booklet foh there's a huge difference between respecting an artist and allowing him to scam your ass.

    $9.99 is reasonable for digital downloads I still have my old itunes account
