Back in the day if someone wanted to be better than you, they would compete... they'd write better rhymes, make better songs etc. ... Now they try to brainwash your fans and poach your collaborators and try to get them to stop fucking with you. Yall suckers lol

RIP Juan Atkins, who annexed the intergalactic terrain one dimension further than even Kraftwerk and Funkadelic, a creator of sleek, metallic, funky beats like a cybernetic assembly line on Mars, whose techno inventions influenced everyone from Dilla and Danny Brown to video game soundtracks to any house/techno producer who ever wanted to know what the future might sound like. And we still haven't caught up.

U have no problem paying for food right? U have no problem paying for the clothes you wear right? Exactly. “Makes no sense tho” how the hell doesn’t it make sense? 😂 This is our job, we need to eat, pay rent and put clothes on our backs. So you have to pay us for a service we provide or don’t and go listen to something else. Period.

makes no sense tho. so, i’d have to buy music from artists. my current library has over 5k songs. Imagine I had to buy them directly from artists, that would have been way too much!!!
