    if he wanted to really get his point across he should be selling the stem player for 0 profit and compensating his engineers out his own pocket

    Ok

    But how the f*** is this supposed to help the music industry

    Man is right now selling a $200 album….. there is no intention of other artists to join him. He is just getting away with this s*** cause he is Kanye lmfao

    Man daf about "progress" he gaf about making money

    Don't forget only reason he was supporting trump was because trump had promised tax cuts for the rich

    A milli in sales in less than 24 hours with no album out yet, which is close to the payout for a billion streams on Spotify

    And people ITT were saying he was losing money by doing this

    Now if he had Advisors who could plug him with a Chinese factory to get the price to $49.99, he could easily do $10 million.

    Also I think some people are wrongly judging the price point of the Stem Player.

    For instance, Ye would never charge $200 for a vinyl. He never has and he never will, because that just doesn’t make sense.

    But the Stem Player is an actual piece of tech, and it’s one of the first of its kind (at least readily available for mainstream consumers), so the $200 price point really isn’t that crazy.

    He’s not just overcharging for the sake of it is the point I’m tryna make

    First ever 8gb piece of tech yes

    200 seems high

    Big artists should be able to directly release music. It's small artists that get f***ed by streaming services anyway

    i would happily pay $200 if more artists join the cause and the memory was >256gb.

    WTT was give or take 140 on retail

    200 isn't too far off esp it being a 4LP release with donda 1

    “Billionaire selling a $200 album to his fans” - forgot who said this but it’s still crazy

    I agree but development costs, staff costs etc can be expensive

    But hes still being paid fairly and making an example while also giving access to everyone, come on he could charge whatever for a physical and people will buy

    But that wouldn’t be “making an example”, that would just be grossly overcharging for a vinyl. No one’s paying $200 for a vinyl record.

    A cool, new, forward thinking piece of tech that actually lets you interact with and customize the music? That’s way more worth $200 than a standard vinyl is.

    Does kanye really think that releasing an album only ~10,000 people will be able to hear is some kind of revolution

    Mom and pop bootlegged the college dropout, this will be no different.
