We know streaming services don't offer every mixtape that can be streamed on mixtape sites like DatPiff or livemixtapes

because most songs on mixtapes contain non cleared samples which means artists are not allowed to earn money with them.

This problem has been there for years now and some artists have been trying to upload their mixtapes by clearing all the samples

which unfortunately has been leading to songs being removed from the tape (e.g. Juice on Acid Rap) or beats being swapped out for Walmart instrumentals (e.g. Never Been on Kush & OJ).

I think it's finally time to find a solution to making everyone happy. I think there should be a 'free' section on streaming services where people can upload music without being able to earn money with it.

This could happen by SoundCloud/DatPiff being bought by a bigger streaming service like Apple or Spotify.

What do y'all think ?

Don't say 'just upload your local files' cause that can be very tedious sometimes.

A solution could give us a chance to experience a new wave of new talented artists that just don't have the power to drop great 'cleared' music on streaming

very much needed. where would frank or tyler or earl be if they didnt have the opportunity to cover other artists songs AND be able to gauge how it feels releasing those same songs.

It gets boring really quick when you feel like every new up and coming artist uses splice

no

Ngl I still be using datpiff on an almost daily basis

Datpiff mobile

just download them from datpiff or sonething

Till old niggas or families who own sample rights to certain songs stop being lame ass b****es, no

I be clowning old heads for using dat s*** but I highkey be on there playing all Wayne mixtapes still daily

I was looking for an alternative strategy like a DatPiff add-on for Spotify or something

Yea that’s a good idea OP

The new hustle for rappers in 2020 will be not to buy stream’s but stream farms.

You are going to even have a rapper start one or two. You can see how addicted people are at gazing at a meaningless number in everything that is media related.

It will be the natural progression.

Getting those tapes in high quality would be lit but the fact they're not on streaming is the only thing keeping DatPiff and the alike alive

That app was always buggy back in the day, I had the ITunes Match back in the day so I still got a lot of classic tapes on my Apple Music lol

listening to d2 and 50 cent is the future on that s***

Great idea. Ktt should develop a free app

Ahh I see now lol, probably should have read LOL. Uhh yeah that would be a solid work around, but how would Spotify benefit from adding this? I guess for people who don’t have premium just having ads or some s*** maybe idk

Pointless there's already a phone app for Datpiff and LiveMixtapes

s*** like that is why i still download music

slime season 1 & 2 not being on there should be a crime

it would also make them better than the rest of the streaming competition which would be a good reason to get picked by new users to streaming

Google Music Uploader

Just use Youtube Music

It's really not that hard to add a mixtape to your iTunes library you goons

They can't samples gotta get cleared

it's tedious and annoying

Tell the boring ass mixtape b****es to stop using copyrightten material period.
