Ur being a shape right now

Obtuse looking ass

That's a proprietary exclusive

You need the machinery to experience the content

Bruh we all know what team you’re on that you automatically cant even enjoy the song regardless lmfao

It was released on the stem player for free

Do u agree or disagree

Threw a B- song at him like it was undeniable

Your statement didn’t make sense. Kanye’s last album was Donda which had many amazing songs much better than these “comeback” ones you’re talking about. I was just showing you how I could use one song to make a false statement too.

This doesn't fit the nazi narrative

CIA alt post smh

regardless how you feel about lift yourself, he did dropped a classic beat on that joint

same cannot be said for nah nah nah and vultures, he's not even producing his songs anymore

s***'s just sad

Yes, but that doesn’t mean the machinery is a paywall.

That’s like saying FaceTime is locked behind a $1000 paywall

People from TLOP to JIK album cycle were correct though. His quality was dropping down for a steady pace lol.

That's a pretty wide gap for him to come back with Donda

Mans is acting like we paying $1,000 for a iphone15 to browse ktt

I mean...

Quality of music is subjective

I still don't think they r bad albums

But ofc if we compare to his earlier work it will look wild

I agree

I also agree that, without the Stem Player platform, there was no legal way to listen to this music

If I buy you a copy of Spider Man 2 for the PS5 and you don't have the PS5, you can't experience the content. You need one to consume the other

Demo tapes are not sold as commodities. If it was freely distributed, I can respect the demo argument, but it wasn't. It was free for Stem player owners, and seeing as the Stem Player costs money, it is paid content materially speaking

This is like saying that the Mario Kart 8 expansion pack is "free" for NSO subscribers. Ain't s*** free lol, it's part of the $50 package you pay for NSO, which is worthless to pay for without the $300 Switch to boot

quite literally only 1 good song damn

It is locked behind a $1,000 paywall lol

Go use Facetime without an Apple device

I don’t think you understand what a paywall is

You’re saying that features of products are locked behind paywalls because you can’t use these features unless you buy the product. Do you see how dumb that sounds?

Wash Us was a historical moment

Y'all realize that the "free s***" that comes with stuff you pay for isn't free, it's just reduced in price or bundled with the price of the stuff you pay for. Unless you can individually receive it for free, it's not free lol

Now in terms of digital distribution yes you will need a device to use digital media content, but that's still free because you materially cannot avoid the need for that physical apparatus to experience the media. There's no real alternative at that point, so it's as free as possible

But when s*** is platform exclusive or bundled with other s*** that costs money, it's not free, the cost has just been subsidized and integrated into the price of the commodity you're paying for

I think everyone is unfair to Kanye

It's not his fault he kept peaking album after album

Meanwhile (debatable)

Nas peaked with his first album illmatic

Same for hov with RD

Arguably TC or NWTS for drake (over a decade ago)

GKMC or TPAB for Kendrick basically another decade

2014 fhd the for Cole

Consensus is ye peaked with mbdtf

But real ones kno yeezus was his last omega

And tht was his sixth album

/Thread

I guess the Calculator app on my iPhone costs $1000 y’all

Even Andre said he missed with Idlewild

Gotta stop holding our goats to this crazy status where they gotta top their best albums everytio

It's not dumb at all

The feature of the product and the product itself are not separated from one another lol unless the feature as it exists within the product exists and fully functions by itself, for free. They're either factored into the use value of the commodity or are discounted to promote sales of a commodity. If you bought a MacBook without Mac OS it would be cheaper because Mac OS isn't free, it's just integrated into the cost of the Mac
