This week in "Broke Confessions"...

nikka I'm hitting a Curen$y concert Wednesday.

I just downloaded his whole discography to get in the mood tho

I just like owning the physical copy. I collect them like stamps

 

[Tommy Sheppard]

I used to just download iTunes quality albums for free from the internet but recently my iPhone deleted all of the non-purchased music that I had, so I had to go back and rebuy the songs that I had before. I see nothing wrong with buying music, at least you have a place to store it.

exactly why I don't fukk with apple

 

[Sonic Boom of the South]

No problem with anyone who doesn't pay for music but if it's worth it I'm dropping cash on other to support but also so later on down the line I still have it. 90% of the albums I cop I havent even opened yet because I have it downloaded. With the way physical music is going do you know what physical copies of some of this shot will be worth...FIRST EDITIONS UNOPENED... in ten to fifteen years?

nothing

nikkas in here in getting all worked up

people still buying music in 2015

When I was a teenager I spent hundreds probably thousands of dollars on music.I was in them record stores EVERY tuesday,then when I got a computer I downloaded everything now I buy music from artists who arent gonna sell much regardless.Like Saigons last album I bought 5-6 songs off of it

This is what I do....but I'm not gonna sell them down the line breh

When it's an artist, especially one that isn't mainstream and is really depending on the support to put out more projects...hell yea I feel good about my purchase and I don't purchase that many, 10 in a year is a stretch.

It ain't about a hustle forward or backward, it's about Hip Hop and helping sustain the movements and careers that I feel add something to it. I can see cats not paying for music, as long as you aren't the nikka complaining about quality this and that..download away...but getting mad or ridiculing other people for supporting artists that bring them joy in some capacity?

 

[Zero]

But aint ya'll the same nikkas who clown rappers for low sales?

 

[Scientific Playa]

support the young new artists but watch out after they get the come up and see if they become #newblacks

i won't mention any names.

no. flip dat and flip common and that confederate flag jacket wearing mofo.

and praises due to marvin gaye's fam

 

[Roaden Polynice]

I have no problems buying albums off band camp for smaller artists. If an album is good I'll support it at bigger e-department stores. I also buy merch and go to tours. A lot of artists aren't really making money like that.

5, 10, 15 dollars isn't gonna make or break me

 

[Uncle_Ruckus]

Collect unopened cds for the future brehs. I bet those cassette tapes from the 90's gonna sell real good on ebay.

Just go see that artist live.
