Yeh, cause the new school rappers are pretty poor you know.
With the digital era buying music is fading away anyway and who gives a shit really, sales have always been an income for the labels not for the artists. This "buy the music to support the artist" bollocks is just a move to keep the labels and distributors getting their hands golden. Normally the artist just passes the copyrights to a label for an agreed sum of money with no percent from the sales, cause globally it's just too much hassle to keep track of it.
The money for an artist is in gigs and PR, not the actual sales, so if you wanna support the artist, go to the concert or add him/her to your friends on MySpace or something.
This goes to mainstream shit tho, in the underground scene things are a bit different (but not radically).
Re: Classic Hip-Hop [NO FUCKING POP/REGGAE/OTHER SHIT] - Sean3 - 01-06-2010
I agree with you, and if you noticed these new commercials, they all mention stuff like "DVD comes out Tuesday, available on DVD or Blu-ray or digitally download". I think this year there is going to be a big change in the industry, and sooner or later no one is going to buy any albums, only download. And as for underground, yeah it is different, i was thinking if the artist/group was really worth it, maybe a little donate STRAIGHT to the artist/group.

Sure piracy has struck the music industry with a massive blow, but the Internet has opened up a massive spectrum of opportunity that artists never had before.
With so many sites at their disposal, unsigned artists can promote themselves to the general public a lot easier than before.
For instance, if I had a great song, all I'd need to do was think up a little viral marketing and create a video on youtube. Obviously it'd take more than just posting the video, but even just doing that is way easier than having to physically take my material and promote it in person.
An example I'm regretting to have to resort to, is soulja boi. A seemingly unknown artist thinks up some dance and posts a video on youtube accompanied by a generic song that the less musically educated public will adapt to and he ranks up fame without even the slightest bit of effort.

Did Notorious B.I.G die? If so, when? I can't be arsed to look for the answer, but I have seen the answer somewhere on the intrawebz. Just listening to one of his songs atm.
Re: Classic Hip-Hop [NO FUCKING POP/REGGAE/OTHER SHIT] - Jerome - 01-08-2010
Yeah, he got shot & killed March 9th, 1997 .. around six months after Tupac "died".
Re: Classic Hip-Hop [NO FUCKING POP/REGGAE/OTHER SHIT] - Mark - 01-08-2010
You now made me very curious.
Why was he shot?
Re: Classic Hip-Hop [NO FUCKING POP/REGGAE/OTHER SHIT] - Jerome - 01-09-2010
Nobody knows, although theories suggest that it was some kind of payback .. I can't really explain it because unless you were into Hip-Hop in the 90's you don't know about the east coast/west coast beef .. but you can read about it .. anyways to summarize the basic point here, Tupac & Biggie were beefing .. and, then when Tupac got "killed" (I refuse to believe he is dead) everybody blamed Biggie because of this beef thing that was going on .. so when Biggie died some months later (it was a drive-by .. nobody ever got caught) theories came about that Tupac had somehow had Biggie killed, from beyond the grave .. or somebody did it for him .. it's hard to explain without you knowing the full story but that's the basic bare details lol
