access to "all the music in the world" until you have albums from your childhood that aren't even available to stream "in your country"

like this one of my favorite albums of all time lol. Not even on streaming here. Poor Omar Lye Fook should've been an American I guess lol

Art is vitally important to culture and life and enriches it, but making important (or just making it in general) art shouldn't entitle you to being mega rich when so many people suffer, Ye or any artist getting an extra 100 million while people in countries like Palestine and Congo suffer is a failure of capitalism, everyone should win

Imagine paying someone that can take your freedom anytime they want to and you support that s***

You can cook or eat simple one day you will be okay lol

This is totally different from what Ye is doing though.

Asking your fans to buy six different covers of the same album to boost your sales? Cool for people who wanna collect, but for the average person

Asking your fans to pay $20 for an album instead of putting it on streaming services that pay them less than literal pennies per stream? There’s genuinely nothing wrong with that and it shouldn’t be conflated with what Taylor/Travis did with their physicals

The mandem b****ing about sacrificing one meal and I’m about to start Ramadan

9pm pst

That's a McDonald's meal today

yeah that happened to me when snoop baught death row and took chronic and doggstyle off even though I purchased the albums

Masallah Brother

Exactly, that’s why people who worship streaming make zero sense to me. If Spotify decides to shut down tomorrow, your entire library is gone. Always buy direct, whether it’s physical copies or digital downloads

Well said

My first true one but was given a Quran when I was at lowest in 2020 so always planned on doing one . What better time when world is in pain to recenter

And i still got the CDs aint nobody take that s*** away from me except maybe some crackheads while i sleep

Yall are so unserious

Snoop with the death row catalog like

Insallah you have a good ramadan. I am too weak to do it because of my job

Bringing up Palestine and the Congo to argue for Apple Music when the issue in the Congo deals with Apple using child labor for phone batteries y’all niggas are Cooked

powerful.

you can be so irritating sometimes dawg.

we’ll see what happens in a few hours, till then, good night

I get what you’re saying but at the same time it’s not really a musician’s choice if they get rich from their art or not. If they sell a million copies of a record or hundreds of thousands of tickets to a show, how is it unethical that they became rich?

Artist asking for money for an album isn’t worth b****ing for multiple hours

Now $20 was a crazy price for albums even back in 2015, TPAB wasn't that expensive and I bought that s*** TWICE at fye in Kingston Mall.

If 20$ is too much for you download it illegally

But stop b****ing
