Roc Marciano - Reloaded
Macklemore and Ryan Lewis - The Heist

So Macklemore and Lupe are basically fighting for the same spot in the game, IMO. While Lupe's F&LII came off as preachy and boring to me, The Heist came off as genuine and entertaining. I like the singing features on The Heist way better too. Idk, overall it just seemed like it was really well done.

Its their Deathrow debut album that was never released. Some of the beats on this have been reused by Pac and them on their last album. Yeah Quik handles most of the production. I Didn't Mean To Turn You On was supposed to be the lead single I think. Its a dope album, not as good as their 1st but a real good follow up. I think this album could have gave them more stock in the game.

I'm hoping they officially release it one day.

Death Row has new owners now and they are releasing a lot of old shit so hopefully this album comes out the way it was meant to be. I searched for it and couldn't find it but I did find "2nd II None - The Kollective" on cdbaby.com. It's only download or cd-r. They didn't show production credits

^^^ what makes you purchase mp3's when you can get the exact same thing for free?

If it's just to support the artists and hip hop that's great. I spend so much money on music. If i get nothing at all for my money, i can't do it. My daughter could have that cash instead of these rappers

Sometimes I don't feel like searching for the link or finding the songs. But I will buy them mostly to support the artist especially when they are dirt cheap though. Some of those above I got for free for signing up for a free trail on a website. Pulled a BMG on their ass.

^^^ that's cool, i actually feel guilty if I don't steal music I can get for free as weird as that sounds...

If 90% of people are stealing it and spending money on their loved ones and i'm giving it to a stranger I feel like an arsehole ha

a lot of digital only albums are coming out now from artists that are blind buys for me so i guess i'll have to adapt

I just really look at it like I'm paying these artists for a service. I want them to be able to afford the investment of their next album. Don't get me wrong, I don't have a moral stand against it. But, if I steal an album & like it I'll definitely pay for it. 'Digital only' or not. That goes for spotify, too. I've bought a few albums that are fully available through my account there.

I have no morals when it comes to stealing music. It also helps justify wasting money on cd's if i say at least i don't pay for mp3's. CD's are actually worth something, not just files on a computer.

If they make a cd for the album (no matter how shitty the quality) i will buy it. More so because of habit or obsessive compulsive haha i don't think i'm a hero saving hip hop or anything.

I do get pissed off you get rewarded for buying mp3s now with bonus tracks (it should be the other way around) If i was 10 years younger i probably wouldnt give a fuck

"I just really look at it like I'm paying these artists for a service"

i read that and we ended up talking about prostitutes for the last hour here

I kinda look at it also as if the music is real good what does that say when you are not willing to pay for the quality giving to you? Gettting everything for free cheapens everything and makes it feel so disposable to me. When you are willing to purchase music it can show appreciation for the qulaity of the art.

mp3s make it feel disposable to me. If i'm paying for the same thing my buddy gets for free... I spend plenty of money on hip hop but the honesty and appreciation for the art is just a bonus. If you are choosing to spend your money on mp3s when you have already downloaded the exact same quality thing... i just think their are better causes. I get it though, if everybody was like me the music industry would be fucked

It's not even so much about the music industry anymore. Especially indie artists who would release mp3 albums. More of the money goes into recording expenses and keeping these artists off day jobs... to spend time making the music.

yeah and that is a good cause but to a lesser extent if they become successful
