    also it's hilarious he picked a random ye fan account as a PR person through IG dm's, but that's somehow also the most Ye s*** ever

    Yeah lmao thats just some Ye s***

    If Kanye DOES release a digital purchase he should be ready to aid people in making it an easy and accessible transition

    • $10 album no bullshit

    • Second week streaming release

    • Communicate and explain this choice ahead of release

    • Provide a tutorial as to how users can upload the album for listening

    Changing the medium of consumption is VERY foundational to how people approach music, which means that this change is both very important and very hard to pull off. If he can hold the hand of the masses, he can lead them as well

    The issue is as soon as you do that it will become easy to illegally download so doubt he goes down that road

    I don't think piracy will impact that much
    even a minimal amount of orders will make a GIGANTIC difference between direct sales and streamings

    let's say we have 4000 customers that will stream the album once

    You will earn from Spotify around 100-200$ depending on how many tracks there are + if they stream all of them without skipping

    You will earn around double with Apple Music, given the same circumstances

    (And all this is calculated without knowing what's the cut those streaming services will take from the final earnings)

    Now, if those 4000 customers will buy the album from Ye directly, it will generate an income of 20.000$

    I know, once you buy the album you won't generate more income for him, but that doesn't mean they can't put the album on streaming later

    brev should start a union for artists, producers etc das the only way labels and streaming kompanies gon pay u fair otherwise selling it on yeezy.com wont do nothing besides a million illegally downloading the truth over the drums

    Would hardly change anything tbh, there just isn’t as much money in streaming as there was in physical sales.

    Albums used to average >$20 in todays money, and now you can stream a huge catalog of music for like $10 or less.

    Streaming is convenient, but if you hiked the price up to what it “should be”, people may go back illegally downloading music.

    You can’t announce a second week streaming release because then nobody is buying the digital download for $10, they’ll just wait until it drops on streaming. If you do this, you have to do it and not budge on streaming (or release it years down the line like Beyoncé)

    I think Ye’s music is a hot commodity and that he's also able to make persuasive pleas (when they’re coherent)

    It could be different from that
