5-105 grand you love in Jersey? Thats whats up

I've purchased over 40 hard copies of an album in the past 3 yearsThis question is for people who don't buy albums;
If you don't buy the album when it comes out, there's no way to measure if the rapper/artist is successful. For example, a rapper releases his album and it sells 5k in the first week. The record label assumes its a flop and drops the artist.
Don't you feel partially responsible to buy an album every once in a while so artists don't get dropped from their labels? -

No, I don't these artist claim to be living the lifestyle my couple dollars cant hurt them lol #trollface, also I find it extremely difficult to buy something that I can get for free easier on top of being burned by so many garbage albums at 15 - 20$ a piece in the past I have a sense of entitlement. -

You bring up an interesting point, a lot of these rappers claim to have so much money they can just throw it up in the air and make it rain at a strip club, so by their own accord, they don't need the money from record sales.
But seriously, wouldn't you like to see your favorite artist release a second album and have big name producers and big name features? If they don't make any money the label will stop ? with them (which could be a good thing I guess).
Anyway, I still say if you d/l an album and you really like it, you should buy it from a retail store, even if its just Amazon where you can get it for half price. -

I agree with your statement about if you dl an album and like it you should buy it. I think of that while listening to great albums (GKMC, MBDTF, Sail Out EP, Love/Hate, Love vs Money, IV Play, the only albums I would have purchased in the last several years) but never get around to buying them. I guess its easier for me to say it than actually practice it.
We also have to consider how some of these artist are dropping free bodies of work that are better at most times much better than their retail albums. Also now artist are dropping free tapes repackaging them as EP's and selling stripped down versions of the dope tapes. Ty Dolla Sign - Beach House EP and K Camps - In Due Time EP come to mind.
That takes away from the fun of buying music for me because I've heard a better version already, but I like you as an artist and want to support you and you sell me something inferior to something you already gave to me free. Its a catch 22 I could go on and on about this topic.
I would feel better just donating to an artist but most rappers have to much pride for that but Ive heard of it before cant remember who did it though, but others genres should adopt it more when it comes to free albums/mixtapes.

I've purchased over 40 hard copies of an album in the past 3 yearsProlly purchased around 100 cd's/vinyl in the last 2 years. how many of them were hip-hop... about 15-20.
Been buying a bunch of these box sets/essential album collections labels have been dropping. 5-6 cd's for 20 bucks isn't bad at all.
