Do people still buy albums they like? Bragging about streams always seemed weird to me because it seems logical to me that streams would be lower for people who's albums are actually purchased. Maybe that's an outdated way of thinking. I just know I personally never stream anything if I've already bought the album.

Listening like that is on a decline. Most people just buy to support artists or because they're hardcore fans. Only time I've ever purchased was the so far gone physical cd re-release.

I figured that was the case. I tend to buy if I really like something. If I only like a few songs off an album, that's when I stream.

Outside of $$$4U I don't think hes done cd/vinyls in a while. I dont think he's done physical since scorpion or maybe dark lane.

I know it was a joint project but I bought Her Loss CD

A lot of people are getting back into analog ways of listening to music cause the DSPs just be pulling songs off at random

I bought the gnx vinyl as well

Question... do they tho? Like I get that there is potential for that to happen but does it actually happen. I've heard of artists/labels pulling music for edits, legal disputes etc but outside of extremes like rkelly or that David dude recently are dsp's actually pulling music like that? Is it that frequent that people feel a need to purchase digital or physical to offset anything?

They really think Baby Keem got a bigger fan base than Drake because he had more “sales”

Shit is nothing but a way to make it look like you have a bigger fan base than you actually do.

Oh yeah brah. It happens very frequently

If they not actually pulling the whole project, there are songs that get pulled due to clearance issues

So I should've lead with this. Dsp's aren't pulling projects to be mean but usually it's business reasons and the projects have to get that resolved before they can be placed back on

Yeah thats not reason enough for me to be buying digital. That's just wasting money in this crazy economy. Must be nice tho.

Shit there's been multiple times I've gone to listen to something I've put on my phone and all of a sudden it's gone. Then will reapper weeks later. It's happened with some of Jay Z music a few times. I've gone to listen to his Unplugged album and it's gone one day and back the next.

Ok but its there lol. Again its not happening frequently or permanently enough to inconvenience me to the point I would feel the need to start buying digital or physical regularly.
 
Just wait till music is jumping from service to service like movies and tv shows.

Y’all better keep buying physical, because they erasing history and media.
