It has. Working on albums until the literal final minute and bloated tracklists and unfocused albums for the chance of being placed on as many playlists as possible… all the direct result of streaming
$20 merch is honestly not being talked about enough
That alone is monumental
We get $20 everything but as soon as it’s music, which is what we all want the most it’s all of a sudden too much? Make it make sense
That’s why mixtapes were brilliant too
Yes exactly. Now all it takes is to have a viral moment and you are dope

Imagine he influences Carti to do the same
I shouldn’t have posted this :ariscared:
This the most I seen Ye crowdsource a rollout
He afraid he'll go triple cardboard (he will if he doesn't put it on streaming)
