ProjectWould be dope I honestly wonder why any DSPs haven’t taken the Youtube route and just allowed user uploaded content if its not monetized
One reason I love YouTube music
May 16, 2024·1 replyin reality apple or tidal buying datpiff or soundcloud and integrating it into their apps would probably be the most realistic solution BUT like you said there's no real monetary incentive outside exposure and followers.
May 16, 2024·1 replyOHMNII read No Monetization and I genuinely thought I read it wrong so I read it again
Why would any service provider of anything incentivize not making money from it
keep users in the app
May 16, 2024That’s really sad imo.
There is certainly a balance to be struck, but I feel like the current laws around sampling are suffocating to potential new art- May 16, 2024·2 repliesKodak Spice

May 16, 2024·1 replyI feel like this would have had to happen in the 2010s. Mixtapes are dead, the only artists who would benefit from this aren't significant enough to move the needle

Mixtape section.
Create a dedicated section of DSPs, like Apple does for radio, specifically for mixtapes. No monetization so artists can do whatever they like over other beats with no restrictions. This would allow artists to throw their mixtape backlog up, while allowing new artists to punch through without full studio albums which mostly require support from large labels.
We would get new superstars and bring true hip hop back
Amazing idea.

Mixtapes are dead because of streaming though. The mixtape was still very much alive from 2009-2016. It’s no coincidence that the year streaming took over is the same year that mixtapes started to die off.
OP’s suggestion is a way to incorporate mixtapes into streaming so that both can coexist

I know that, but now that mixtapes are dead I just don't see A or B list acts returning to that format even if DSPs allow it. And without their support I don't see DSPs even considering it
