    ive enjoyed carnival going #1 seeing crowds of 20k singing along etc

    i will be listening to the album regardless ofc

    Yeah that was fun and now it’s time to do something different

    You really wanna see a 50 year old continue to chase hits? Ye hasn’t been that type of artist for 15 years

    You gonna get the music regardless

    Whether it’s buying, streaming, pirating

    We all will get the music so who really cares

    No one knows Donda 2 exists

    Vinyls are much are expensive to make and labels still take a huge cut of that as well

    So they are more expensive and still accounted for nearly half of all album sales last year meaning they are just as impactful still as what Ye is trying to do

    im very aware of the streaming situation

    if you were around in 2016 you would remember all these exact points being made and tidal being created as the answer

    this is a old battle

    Old battles require new strategy

    carnival is not chasing hits

    nobody played donda 2

    you can get the whole yandhi album on youtube finished, this will happen with vultures. be a niche album you and me enjoy and doesnt not reach the masses or sell well

    It would be really funny if iTunes type releases made a comeback. But I mean vinyls and other old media has made a comeback, after enough time maybe it will to some degree. Albums were bs to the artist too back in the day. It wasn’t until streaming took off it was more feasible to be indépendant and not get robbed from the label on an album

    Because people don’t buy cds because cd players are phased out of cars lol

    That doesn’t fix the root of the issue

    Where the money from those sales is going is the issue

    If artists were getting a respectable share from streams this wouldn’t be a conversation

    streaming is honestly such a difficult thing because Spotify isnt making profit and living from investments and idk the AM numbers but i imagine its not sustanable by itself and its there because of Apple making bank in other venues

    A major artist after bouncing back could stay complacent on streaming while b****ing about the system the rest of his career or he could do something
