People will blow money on OF,Doordash,Hot Cheetos & Jordans,etc but the concept of buying music is wild to some smh. Don't complain the state of music when you don't support those making the art you claim to love.
We don’t do any of those things to support the companies lol we do it for ourselves lol we pay for music too, but not to support the artist, for self consumption. It’s an ease of access thing
nah ive been releasing music for 6 years and its just greedy to put your music behind a paywall. fans already support artists in so many other ways, they shouldnt have to pay just to hear what the music sounds like. look at Bones for instance, he got rich off rap and never sold a single song. he made all his money on merch, concerts, and streaming revenue
As one of the few people who still "sails the high seas" for music, there is honestly nothing these musicians can do for me to purchase music. C-19 and the financial crisis has really put into perspective what I spend money on and one of the casualties is music. I can't justify spending money on music, besides an occasional concert which is more so an experience.
In that case we just need better, updated copyright laws. Japan is the gold standard when it comes to this. Piracy has always been a legal first and foremost.
the value provided would have to be physical for me, thats why i use youtube to discover music for free and then buy physicals. unless its my friend's music that's just digital then i'd probably buy their digitals to support it
3:40 I heard bandcamp got bought out in plans of Sync Licensing like a couple of months ago and apparently getting rid of most of its attributes it’s known for its slowly changing
someone could just screenrecord all the songs and put them somewhere for free, i don't know how this would work. james even said he wouldn't have a problem with people screenrecording the songs
It’s about supporting the artist tho so I’m sure it’s the same concept as when artist say pay what you want for albums cause people who screen record probably aren’t real fans
I think as a music artist its on you to diversify your streams of income to build a career off of it - other artists like photographers do a lot of services like portraits, weddings, landscapes and architecture photos etc. - I think the same goes for music artists
There are subscription models that won’t charge you when nothing releases during the subscription period. E.G. $5 /month IF something drops that month, no charge if nothing drops. I think that would work pretty well for musicians IF they were to drop tapes/collections at once rather than a constant feed of singles.
One word connivence If artist make it more convent and give a level of elitism it would make people switch but it must first be easy to deal with that Spotify or apple
Shiid like suggestive access, if I feel the money I spend can give me access to a artist creative process I would do it, or if I feel It was like an investment when I can benefit some how I would.
group buy idea not bad. kind of like box sets idea. Peep who bought bandcamp and how its changed over the years. GL if you are actually a musician trying to figure this all out. In the end, it all leads to the emerald city. Follow the yellow brick road and you will find the answers you are looking for.
So yeah I definitely don't mess with this this screams like a marketing ploy to make money from the label cause no matter what the label ALWAYS gets they cut no matter what you decide to think people need to understand these contracts are basically 360 Deals so everything goes back to them he probably owns a small percent I very well could be wrong but I try and think logically but either way him saying its expensive to make music YEAH if your IN THE INDUSTRY music is super expensive but if your independent or maybe take the time to learn how to do it yourself he would see its not bad and wouldn't be whinning to me this just sound like I need more money from you ITS NOT OUR FAULT you decided that life nor are people obligated too support that so you know what these industry artist begging for money in every way are kind of like parasites to be honest but this all just my opinion. (Edit: This coming from someone who has fun with music all for free besides buying simple equipment Microphone, Laptop/Computer, Headphones, and a simple app I use audacity and that can run you like 400-600 dollars)
This is crazy unrealistic but if your monthly subscription accrued over time and created a currency through which you could order physical products. Like if I paid $5 for 6 months I’m already getting the album when it comes out, almost like a preorder but off your credit, which is built through the subscription over time.
The fact that people are up for this idea is crazy. Yall are tweaking. I’ll stop listening to music fully if it comes to this ain’t no way in hell I’m pay $5 a month for all the 30 some artists I listen to.

Not a chance in hell I’m paying 5 dollars a month for ONE artist music when could pay Spotify, Apple Music, or UA-cam for millions of songs.
A similar situation happened with Shiloh Dynasty. Fanbase grouppayed to get a unreleased project put on platforms n it was well worth it imo 💯
big facts s/o shiloh
That delivery at the end was crazy
I like when pepe is in the thumbnail

Maybe they put a total goal: when the goal is reached then its released idk just an idea. Edit: i typed this before watching the video 😂
i buy everything i like physically and if physicals don't exist i pirate it, just so unless i have a house fire that music is MINE haha
If the subscription had physical copies upon release ⚡️
I get it. We not making money off my music but I don't care. I make it for yall.
Interesting take. I’ve had success selling Music NFTs as an artist. That’s where I’ve made the most money music wise

Someone can screen record patreon videos but they don't 💀
I will only buy an album if it's a classic.
What makes it a classic, to you?
I still wish more artists did physical releases. I buy vinyls all the time. Music is worth money.
Thanks for all the great content bro

Are you going to make a video on the Quavo diss?
I hope it’s good yet how is it different from Patreon or Locals? What about subscription fatigue? How can a music fan subscribe to multiple creators?
There are subscription models that won’t charge you when nothing releases during the subscription period. E.G. $5 /month IF something drops that month, no charge if nothing drops.

As with everything. The very best will rise to the top. .01%. The bottom 99.9% will remain there. The only way to get there is to become that .01%.

Fans aren’t gonna pay $5 when they almost all music in history for a Spotify subscription

Everybody is tired of the subscripton model if it doesnt include volume of artists and their catalogs.
If asap rocky posted up his vault it's done for I'ma go broke
No lie I probably got half of asap Rocky's vault download on my phone already
wats poppin yall ?
Musicians do make money, most of them are just dumb and sign to a label and have them steal all of it
I love James Blake.
Would be better if it was a 1x payment instead of monthly
First off making music becomes cheaper, so that’s false
Hes gonna bring the big artist to the platform and his music gonna be buried. He shouldve kept it to himself untill it was actualizex

How much did interscope pay you to promote this
What does interscope have to do with anything?
21 👶🏿
