Mike the Executioner
What went on up there? Poppers and weird sex!
No to that version of hip hop hooray breh
The original version sounds like a demo to me, like they recorded it in a closet.

Well thats the price you pay for actually having your music on demandBut you gotta buy the songs, right? Unless you d/l illegally, which is fine.
I think your right but I do think that whoever the original songwriter and producer of the track would also get paid from this new re-recording which would also explain “cover songs” that are on streaming platformsSomeone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it's due to the fact that the label own that specific master of the song, that specific recording of it and not the actual lyrics itself.
So in theory you could replay/recreate the instrumental of the song, re-record the whole song from scratch and you can own that version.
Re-records usually sound worst than the original imo
what!
When EPMD released their greatest hits album in 1999, they had to re-record the songs they wanted to include from their first two albums, because the masters weren't owned by Def Jam.
I don't think it's a bad idea to re-record old songs, especially if you put out the original song when you were really young. You could do it with an improved voice, add some new arrangements, change up some of the lyrics that didn't make sense before. Just don't wait to do it when you're and don't have the chops anymore.
Also, I know I'm alone here, but this version >>>>>>>>>> the original:

This is why having them old cds/mp3s is important guys. Nobody wants to hear the Walmart versions of their favorite songs

It definitely works with the current music and helps you keep up with what’s dropping out here. My only thing is if you want to find some old music on there. Producers be making having uncredited samples and stuff that the artists being sampled will find eventually . they mess around and have the hardest part of the beat taken out or the whole song disappears. You’ll be mad if you don’t already have that first version of the song.people listen to a ton of music now. From new shyt to the classics. Buying that many CDs is expensive
Also...More to do with sample clearances...but wtf is this
There was a Complex article about Blackground. The gist of it was the dude who owns the label (Aaliyah's uncle Barry Hankerson) owes a ton of money from lawsuit a woman filed against him for stalking her, and the label royalties are how he is supposed to pay her, and he's such a weirdo that he would rather just not generate any money through the label than have to pay the woman anything
One of the various downfalls of streaming despite it’s good things. Some know how many times I’ve heard a beat just suddenly be different with no explanation at all.
