Just something I've noticed as of late...with hip-hop releases unless something goes terribly wrong usually you only get a leak the day or two before...with rock albums it seems like the leaks are weeks in advance...I just saw an article about Ozzy Osbourne unveiling the tracklist for his new album meanwhile the whole thing's already out and has been for a good week or so...is there less oversight or what? just curious

my guess is that rock still tends to out a greater emphasis on physicals, while hip hop is more streaming-focused

i could be completely wrong tho

Was gonna say this you’re most likely correct

leak culture

ITS BECAUSE THEY HAVEN’T LISTENED TO MY DISS TRACK

rock bands are label friendly and complete their releases weeks in advance

in hip hop artists are completing their albums and submitting to DSPs the night before, sometimes day of

Most rock fans probably don’t even know how to access leaks, so there’s less emphasis on pre-release security.
