    You just explained it. Any rapper that sells 500k is going to get a better budget for his next album than somebody who sells 50k.

    If you want your favorite rapper to have the best producers, marketing and promotion you have to support them.

    I ain't busting my ass at work so my favorite rapper can get a beat from Timbaland, if he wants to get beats from the highest priced producers he can bust his ass and go on tour, I'm not worried about the couple cents he'll make off of my sale, plus the older I get the pickier I am and most albums don't even have replay value to me, even some of my favorite artists of all time I feel like are doing it for sport and really just don't grab my attention, I bought many albums for well over a decade while hip hop was at its finest, the fact that I can get anything I want for free came at a good time

    I could be wrong, but the last album I remember buying was Z-Ro's '? ' and Z-Ro and Trae's 'It Is What It Is' in 2008. From around 98 to 05, I was buying probably one album a week. I have hundreds.


    It's sad how out of touch I am with today's rap music.

    You should check it out. the production is flawless although quite frankly, he doesn't have the voice to be an elite MC IMO. still 4.5 mics IMO.

    I have heard some of it at parties, the barbershop or during car rides. I know people that like his music. His music just doesn't appeal to me at all. It's always been that way.

    Trust me I've tried to get into it in the past with his first 3 albums. Found myself pretty bored for the most part and only liking less than a handful of songs on the first and 3rd joints respectively (Get Em High, Jesus Walks, Last Call, Flashing Lights, Good Morning and The Glory) can't even remember anything from the second album. I could tolerate him on other people's songs and have always liked the beats he makes for other people for the most part but that's about it.

    In the words of a famous Chicago MC "If I don't like it, I don't like it that don't mean that I'm hating"
