y wouldn't u get it for free....if u had the choice to have 15 dollars, or not to have 15 dollars, why would u pick to not have it....anyway, i download albums and if i like them i'll usually buy them cuz i like to support some artists....but if i downloaded the purple haze cd, which i did, it's not like cam is gunna lose money because i wouldn't have bought it regardless cuz i dont really like him, i jus wanted to check out the hype...
the point i'm tryin to make is that if i weren't able to download some albums, i would never end up hearin them at all, so if i were a professional recording artist, in some ways i would be happy that u can download my shit, cuz otherwise, the message i'm tryin to put out would never be heard...so i would rather consumers hear my music for free than have them not hear it at all ^i dunno if u understand whut i'm tryin to say or not, but thas jus my opinion

whatever, if yall wanna download albums just to hear if they're good or not, but ur gonna buy the real shit anyways, more power to ya.
but i can honestly say that in my entire life, i have bought only one album, and that was no way out and thats only cuz i had to cuz at thta time i didn't know how to download shit. other than that, i've had over 10,000 downloads in just under two years and i'm still runnin strong, so think about how much money i've saved. Not to mention now i can make my own cd's with the songs i like instead of paying for it. Yall people go out and spend enough money to feed the rappers so that i dont have to. So i'm cashin in, fuck droppin 18 dollars for a cd when i'm only gonna listen to a select 5-6 songs from it anyways.

I don't download songs much anymore, because I just didn't feel like having to spend the time downloading it, then listen to it for a bit, then delete the song later for room on my PC. I just spend the money, put it into my CD case, and be done with it. I feel better bout myself too, if I was an artist in need of money I would just do concerts, let people download the music. That way all they get is the recorded version, to hear more they have to come to my concerts.

yeah but most of the artists dont need the money theyre just greedy for it. they wanna make their money but the cats in the hood that actually listen to their music are usually tryin to find anyway to save money they can cuz they dont have it. if they did then they wouldnt constantly be tryin to find a way out. and the cats on soundclick take the time to write record and produce their shit and then put it out there for free and they arent makin shit. theyre just lookin for respect from other people that support what theyre doin. and i also download the album to see if i like it and if its worthwhile i will buy it. if theyre artists that i have respect for then i am gonna buy the album regardless of if i have it or not before hand.

that is very untrue, most people in the industry are lucky to break even, hombre...hip hop may look like a lavish lifestyle but even a lot of decent names find it a struggle...i saw on sum show on much more music or sumthin bout the rap industy that ppl who go gold struggle to provide for their families

word^^and i agree with downloading songs from albums to see if you want to buy the cd, but do you know how much cd's physically cost to make, about less then half of the $15 to $20 they charge us for.....mad prophet, you make a goood point., the industry is too greedy and money hungry, we should be able to keep testing the waters before we buy and album that only has 2 or 3 great songs on it, and the rest filler.1
