The Man Who Broke the Music Business(Great read on Pirating/bootleg music)

[HendriX]

damn took me back with that article..i remember almost every release too

 

[The Amerikkkan Idol]

This is another one of those cases, where I don't know whether to be ashamed that a Black man is in trouble for doing crime . . . or if I should be proud because the crime that he did is kind of brilliant

At this dude single-handedly helping Kanye win the "battle" against 50

Nah, he leaked Kanye's record earlier than 50's, if anything it should've hurt Kanye.

50 Cent was just gawdawful and played out by 2007, so he was never going to win that battle.

They waited too late to get out the game.

 

[Red Shield]

Great read

After they shut down, dudes should have stayed gone. Kali dude must have really thought shyt through about if he got caught. Made sure not to really leave evidence tying him. Smart man..

C4 stayed on their ass.

I always suspected C4 made RNS pack it up.

I used to work retail, they used to get releases 2 or 3 weeks ahead of time, this was another source for leaked material.

C4 was literally just a repackaged WCR after others left


while WCR existed we got all our rips from mainly promotion copies from college radio stations(howard)

and a mom and pop location that allowed us to break the drop dates once stuff came in

Nostalgia .... I remember having to get albums 1 track at a time ... filename-RNS ..

Rapgodfathers was the shyt too... they still there but everything now i NO WHERE like how it used to be... You are pretty much forced to buy a digital version instead of searching the web

 

[Young/Nacho\Drawz]

Napster and Kaaza always get mentioned but how come AudioGalaxy never get any love? That idea was genius too.

RNS releases

All these years..I was like wtf is a RNS.

The smoke has cleared.

My only gripe with RNS is that they never included the scans or artwork like a lot of other groups did. Maybe Glover didn't want the extra heat, which makes sense now...

sometimes he just took the cds without the album covers
