CDs played a part but it was really the Napster era that killed it. People stopped living with albums at that point because they had so much music available in their hands. People stopped appreciating full works of art and in turn artists stopped focusing on making full bodies of work and just putting out strong singles.

I miss owning CDs. The quality was unmatched. And a lot younger people don't how much worse the quality is when they stream music.

you make a great point too, but with vinyl, we could always go to the song we wanted. I've had a record player in my house my entire life from a baby until I got turntables in my teens. Even now I got 3 sets of them in my crib. And I was buying albums on tape and vinyl until I got my first cd player in 1991. I never stopped buying vinyl and tapes and I still buy vinyl to this day.
If anything it fell off when streaming took off. Bow these tards can film their own music vids and pist on streaming sites for other tards to like

This has been discussed and I lived it. The Quality of music dropped once everybody started going platinum.
Pushing singles was also a label priority. You didn’t have to make a classic album to go gold anymore.
With cassette tapes it was also easier to dub them yourself. With CD’s it was more work. Or you would end up buying a bootleg CD.
And the traditional mix tape era started to fall off at the end of the 90’s.
Some of yall really showing your skin tone in this thread.
Thats like saying nobody had VCRs in 1991.
You have some of the most horrible takes ever.
Stop posting, seriously.
And nygga I'm as black as can be, I eat chitlins before the holiday season.

Buying CDs was legendary but at the same time, some of your favorite rappers dropped some duds that folks spent what would have been their weed money and gas money….
I can see why fans don’t wanna spend their hard earned money in this era when they can pay 10.99 on Apple Music to listen to a album.
Some albums aren’t on streaming.
Like I can’t even find Krayzie Bone’s first two albums on Apple Music
Thug Mentality 1999
And Thug On Da Line
Like WTF mayne

CD's sales jumped in 1994 by 200 million and peaked in 2000. And the time I'm talking about the quality falling of started in 1997. It was peak commercialization. Rappers and labels valued singles over entire albums. And this chart is for ALL genres. You don't know what the fukk you're talking about.
