death note fking sucks when they lose their memory and act clueless its some of the laziest writing ever

When you had to pay money for it in one way or another

Still remember hitting up livemixtapes in my college library and hitting play on Return Of 4eva for the first time

Which thread did you think you clicked on?
I liked death note until the second half

Most threads like this are going to conclude by saying yeah streaming is detrimental for everyone involved musically especially the listener and music lovers.

We appreciated music way more when we had to buy it or even take the time to download it for free

Some of us still do!

But yeah it has conditioned a couple generations to view it as background content.

When they let chance the rapper drop a “mixtape” that wasn’t free and was nominated for a Grammy

Its drakes fault

When drake re did so far gone for the duckets

Appreciation for the time

worst part is the habit of playing an album once, saving the 3 songs you like and never revisiting the other ones

when you went to the store to buy your CDs you would play it until you loved the fillers too

Living with albums for months

They called me a madman on ktt 1 for this take

opposite for me

when i downloaded music, i wouldn’t always be able to find full zips of older albums easily, so i’d only have the singles & maybe a few other popular album cuts

when streaming happened, i finally got to play certain albums in full for the first time

that was also a year after IYRTITL

he didn't say "it's so free" or "here it is on DatPiff but the quality is
ass"

also cash money records counted that as his fourth studio album

I can help you find anything

also just buy the stuff you love. it is worth it

idk what the first quote is supposed to mean, but DatPiff wasn’t supposed to have IYRTITL on their site, they put it up because they were just as confused as everyone else when Drake premiered the mixtape on iTunes

& yea it counted but that was an early example of the line getting blurred

i was a high schooler with no income

no man i was talking about coloring book sorry

chance said on ultralight beam he was gonna make his next album "so free" and then pulled that s***

also drake called his a "commerical mixtape" so

iyrt was never on datpiff

try it out these days

I think you're putting too much thought into this s*** bro

Dating back to the 70s mixtapes were basically bootleg playlists on cassettes and CDs. Before the internet artists put together mixtapes (a collection of their music) to promote themselves or distribute to labels. Once everything became digital you didn't need a mixtape anymore you just needed a download link

DSP

oh of course i do

but aside from streaming, i only pay money for either physical media as a collector’s thing or digital downloads if they include bonus tracks
