Also it kills me that people can't see the correlation between $$ and declining quality in all the different entertainment sectors.
The people who complain about the proliferation of reality TV, or the end of music videos on MTV/VH1, or the majority of successful films now being remakes or adaptations... probably the same ones who think they're entitled to stream it all for free online.
The GramBéy's LOVE G3N13 and they know she'll only perform if she wins (duh, she's not a h3aux who does it for fr33). Only Iggy Iggz is a threat, and she's taking the RAOTY anyway.
Will never not be funny. Floptina can't do anything on her own without hanging on to someone else's balls, be it Maroon 5 or Pitbull. Zero starpower. Nonfactor. No wonder she's never made Forbes and no one knows she was arrested.
Even Pitbulls albums sell more than the black Nickelbacks
I don't care what anyone says, Pitbull slays as a person. Sure his music is largely crap, but he doesn't pretend otherwise. He stays in his lane and just does his Mr. 305 thing. Can't say the same for everyone.
1) None of our faves NEED any more money. If that's the argument you're using, none of them should go on tour or release new albums.
2) The point is that Lord has the power to make a statement while struggling musicians don't
3) "At the end of the day music should be about being accessible to all, not a money pit." Stupid millennial logic. "If you really love art, you would do it for free!!!!" just betrays a total ignorance about the history of art. Most of the greatest, widely-respected works of art were created on commission (usually for religious or political agendas, eep) or with financial gain in mind.
The idea that people shouldn't make fair money off their work just because they also enjoy it is sad. Imagine the outcry if we suddenly decided a bunch of moronic athletes shouldn't make millions every year just because they "should play baseball for the love of sport!!!"
Only in the last 15 years have people suddenly begun to think they are entitled to the work of creative people. I guess everyone was super rich back when albums were regularly going multiplatinum? Because if you ask anyone why they don't spend money on music, "ohhhh I'm too broke for that!" even though they probably spend $20+ a week on Starbucks, lol. Lame as hell.
Anyways, streaming is obviously the future, but right now it's not an ideal system at all.
Starbucks > Loose her music
People are only buying albums nowadays when they feel compelled too. So when something interesting happens (the surprise RIHlease) or when the artist already has a dedicated fanbase (Beyst, Taylor, Fat ass Adele) or when the artist is new and interesting (Lana, Borde, fat ass Sam Smith). Nobody's gonna buy an album because they hear a few cheap bops (which is what most of the top 40 is) on the radio.

Pitbull is the best
been running the game for a decade now
