Culture check: Are you willing to buy music?

[Dzali OG]

Do you have any personal favorite artists that you're willing to buy and not stream their music?

For myself, there's a few artists who are must hear to me. Meaning I will actively pursue and purchase their music.

Sean Price
Rza
Young Dro (if he get his Thang back)
Redman
MOP
Weezy F

Probably some im forgetting.

Trying see if this business venture I'm doing worth the time...

 

[Thavoiceofthevoiceless]

Chris Brown and Sam Hunt, although I’ll buy a song from other artist here and there if I truly rock with it like that

 

[Yinny]

Yes, the last/probably only digital I bought was Tribe’s last album

But I buy vinyls if I truly love the album

Most recent releases were Beyonces Renaissance act 1 and Lucky Daye’s Candydrip

I’m looking for the Internet, I bought their CDs and want a vinyl

 

[bourgeoisie tall freak]

A lot of artist I listen don't even release physicals. I support the most by going to a show

 

[⠀X ⠀]

I really only buy old music on vinyl. Everything else, I stream.

 

[Pure Water]

No.

 

[Fresh]

If I really like the album I will buy the physical copy, just because I don't want anything messing up if I go 100% digital and it could mess up and lose music

 

[Elim Garak]

No I will only subscribe to a streaming service at this point it's no going back.

 

[Rozay Oro]

Depends if they are underdog or go all out in packaging. I bought The House Is Burning CD. That shyt came in a fukking sleeve. Not a case no lil booklet. TDE cheap as fukk

 

[The Pledge]

I collect vinyl for my favorite artists. I also buy FLAC files too. I don’t stream their music because the quality isn’t great on DSPs.

 

[Paper Boi]

i grew up with limewire

the fukk you think

 

[Sad Bunny]

I pay for Spotify, but there are certain artists I will support via digital downloads or concert tickets or merchandise.

Lil Wayne
Frank Ocean
Omar Apollo
Bad Bunny
Kid Cudi

 

[RageKage]

Not so much, I have gone old old school and pay musicians in the way prior to records, by actually playing at a live venue in front of an audience

 

[GoAggieGo.]

Yep. Anything Krit drops, I’ll buy it. If he has a concert here in the A, I’m going.

If an artist makes music I really enjoy, I’ll support.

 

[MajesticLion]

Good music, yes.
From good artists, definitely.
Hopefully directly, because I'm weaning myself off of middlemen as much as possible.
Good performers, definitely.
