you aren't going to download dvd quality rips of anything within 20 minutes and that's more on the US broadband infrastructure than anything Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Illegally? through torrents you can, though for the most part no. Legally…

people are not going to buy a product that they have to jump through hoops to use. the reason why the itunes store and others have been so successful is that you setup an account and then hit buy and the shit is on your computer. true -- but when …

Another thing that effects these sales, aside from bootlegging/downloading/quality of product, is the sheer availability of hip hop music. It used to be a select group of people who made hip hop, and an entire audience of FANS who's only job was to…

Do you really believe that kids who sell dope sit at home, watch TV, say "wow look at Cam'Ron, that's so cool" and then go get a g pack? i believe that. a lot of kids who sell dope don't do it coz they're starving and there's a shortage of wor…

Ia m not sure about your demographic but these are not your white suburban kids. Nor are the demographics I speak of. There are very few whites younger than college age in DC. No doubt, I was meaning the demographics comment more along the lines t…

12-18 year olds... We sell commercial joints to the older crowd that can actually drive and classics and indie to the younger crowd. But hey we are borderline hood where we are at so maybe we are disconnected. Here's the thing though, only a very s…

Kids dont give a fuck about "bling" these days.....Dudes my age listen to more misogynist rap than the kids do...The girls wear more clothes these days than they did when i was in high school....Teen preganancy is down and things were more violent…

Rap is not pop... In LA the Radio tracks are really only hitting with the early/mid 20s crowd and hipsters. However the kids are more into a mix of indie rock, classics, and shit like Psycho Realm (Sick Symphonies), Ill Bill, La Coka Nostra, etc. B…

Just because someone doesn't like a majority of the music on the radio these days has nothing to do with them being old or not wanting to have fun, it may be that possibly the music in the particular genre is reaching a low point. Alot of the defend…

I don't think it's an either/or. I don't think hip-hop is dead. I do think the Mims song is dumb as fuck however. Can't I have it both ways? i never said anyone has to like MIMS! i just think its an amusing song i will eventually get sick of but …

there were a TON of bricks last year... The philosophy of everything hinging on a hit single was in full effect last year and for the most part it backfired outside of really solid artists.

I know I am more amused that the major media outlets are picking this story up. My pops saw it in his local newspaper and wanted to know if I wanted the article. now CNN.

Bandwidth, Drive space, and Database support... all you need. Oh heavy streaming support for Flash is a nice add on

And I agree that alot of regulations and laws like the Payola laws don't have as much of an effect as they did when they were created. But if you want a more recent comparison, look at the recent push by corporations to pass Internet Regulations su…

The ability of new music or new artists to help change the music landscape. When did the gov't get in the business of insuring that artists should have the opportunity to "change the music landscapr". Every anti-payola argument boils down to "it…

Anti-trust assumes certain kinds anti-competitive forces. Assuming that payola is open to all (highest bidder winning) then this is not a situation of anti-competitiveness. Dub, I know that my stance sounds funny. I just never understood why a co…

Whenever a payola thread comes up I always ask the same question? "If payola is a crime, who is the victim?" I just don't understand why this is illegal. If I own a shoe store and a shoe company wants to pay me to feature their wares in the front…

I agree, but in this conversation I think her point is moot, as Hustle and Flow was meant to be shown in mainstream theaters all over the country. This is incorrect. The Music director for the film shops at the store and he had no idea it was go…

hell yes!! Last Thursday's episode was hilarious... or should I say Ridiculus.

man i couldn't even get past the first 20 seconds... WTF.

That said, it's unfair to compare an enormous house that was built sufficiently long ago to earn historic property/landmark status with either the average house or the newly built Bush ranch for energy consumption purposes. Al could use less.. I'…

oh and on the touring tip they are on the Rock the Bells Festival with Rage Against The Machine... Rehash of the previous tour...

SRC signed them and is releasing a new Wu album this summer. Say what you want their fans are nuts and will cop anything by them. Also don't forget that Raekwon is droping Cuban Linx 2 on Aftermath with Dre executive producing the album. Over no,…

Robin Thicke puts pressure on R&B artists to step it up. Do you really think Alan Thicke is raising the bar in Rhythm & Blues? Call me disconnected, but I actually do think that Robin Thicke has got talent. I am really not into most contem…
