I never said I didn't buy album I simply said the artist won't miss it, and persoanlly 20's a little pricey, but buy while you can alot of the major record stores are going bankrupt and closing like Tower Records Sam Goody etc.

support rappers shit they ain't did shit for me, and if they love rapping so much it really should not matter if they make money or not they should just be happy that people like them, so I download all day

WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT. IF YOU LISTEN TO THEIR MUSIC BECAUSE YOU FIND IT ENTERTAINING, THEN BY DEFINITION THEY ARE ACTIVELY DOING SOMETHING FOR YOU EVERYTIME YOU LISTEN TO THEIR MUSIC

 

[Chinese Mike]

Man yall need to kool ya shit, You guys dont even know what you're talking about, almost none of record sales goes to the artist it pretty much all goes to the slaveowner record labels, artists get there money from Tours and Merch, so download all you want your only hurting the fat cat record label owners.

as for the cds ofcourse since dre's death his stuffs gonna go up, and it's all supply and deman my man, if people want the CD real bad and the storeowner knows there place is one of the only suppliers in the area they're gonna jack up the price, it's buisness.

thats true BUT ONLY FOR MAJOR LABEL ARTISTS. almost all bay rappers are INDEPENDANT so they see the majority of their money ($7-8 per CD). City Hall as a distributor generally tacks on another 2-3 dollars.

Good point but I'm sure we mean major label artists it's hard enough to find major artists downloads any independent artists music most likely isnt even on the internet.

nope. IRC and bitTorrent buddy.

 

[SoilSavy]

people that only download music are not real fans. I mean if you list your 5 favorite rappers, and you havent PURCHASED any of their albums, you are not a fan. just a fuckin bopper.

WOW alot of people must be forgeting you can PAY to DL on ITUNES and other sorces
... Who says thats not whaat he is doin

OUT HERE IN K.C. HIS MUSIC IS GOING FOR 17.97 AND GREATEST HITS ARE RUNNING 23.97 AND UP.. ARE THESE THIS EXPENSIVE OUT IN CALI TOO?? JUST CURIOUS.. (THIS IS A MOMS & POPS STORE I'M SPEAKING OFF 7TH HEAVEN)

cuz we hate you niggas out in KC

 

[KillaCityMizery]

good question because his albums are wack.nah..just playin'.the reason why there so expensive is because your buying them from "moms and pops stores".They over price everything.Second the average cost of a cd is $18 and a double cd would be like $20-$24.Go to a store and see how much a 50 cent album is selling for and its pretty much the same as the cost of mac dre albums.Theres so many reasons why a cd is expensive besides if the album is tight.Unless if its a underground album.That nobody has heard of then it would be like $10-$13.C'mon you fools act like you never buy cds.

 

[hottazaheata]

fuck you then


buy real music, support real artists

hahaha

 

[hottazaheata]

they are expensive becaus k.c. is sorry for mac dre's death so they are charging more tax so that they can repay his death

 

[Gas One]

fuck buying music.
yall keep buying shit you can download while i keep money in my pocket.

fuck support. fuck you. im downloading it.

I use BitTorrent you can't find shyt, and if you do noone ever seeds so you can't get it anyway, although I've never heard of IRC I think.
