Music Industries Crying Again
Seems after more years of putting out sub standard products, the music industry keeps seeing sales slip. They blame it on me and my blank CDs.
The biggest drop in sales is in Urban/R&B/Rap sales. I hate to break this to ya, but have you tried to listen to some of the rap that's getting sold nowadays? I can't repeat this enough, most of the rap out there is garbage.
This is what happens. Someone works hard, writes well, and makes it big. They then, start their own record label. They then sign all their friends to that record label, and they record CRAP.
Dr. Dre is the greatest producer in Hip Hop/Rap history. He discovers Eminem, and produces some good albums out of him. Em starts his own record company. He then signs.... D12. D12 put out cd's that are good for one song, the initial single, that is the only song that Eminem has a major part in. The rest of the disc is crap. Same can be said for Dre and 50 cent, Puffy and Mase...
Its not the blank CDs that's killing you. I can get around any copy protection with a $20 discman and a $3 cable, so "copy protecting" cd's won't change a DAMN thing. (especially since if you only allow a couple burns of that disc, the person can always rip the burned copy, which of course isn't copy protected. Idiots.)
Put out quality, unique, and original music. Not this mass produced, watered down, talentless crap you keep spoon feeding the public because the group is friends with someone, or because Jessica Simpson has big tits.
I'll spend my money on a good cd. A lot of other people will too. If I wanna hear someone with talents friends rap, I can find someone on a corner with a pail begging for change. If I wanna look at some blonde chick with big hoots, I won't buy a Jessica Simpson CD, I'll check out some internet porn. The internet was created for porn.
