@@macverishe3480 In my opinion, limiting music to being only on Spotify/Apple/KZbin ruined music. The need to make a dollar off of every stream ruined music. Strict copyright strikes on KZbin for creators using music in their videos ruined music. You’ve limited the use of music, you’ve limited its reach, and you’ve lost valuable free promotion. Now nobody really listens to music unless they are in the mood. Podcasts and KZbin videos have replaced music for me in terms of daily listening because music has pigeonholed itself to that. I can’t even review a song on KZbin without getting a strike.

There is nothing new under the sun. Support independent artists, they are the ones with the creativity in there genes because of passion. Nothing has been original in a very long time and I mean going back to the 1800’s.

Performing a difficult song that requires vocal range is alot different from just repeating words in your voice Now I can see it to display a certain ability like if you can keep up wit Twista/busta word for word but at the end of the day you're more likely to be recruited as an auctioneer than a musician/artist. There's really no artistry in covering a rap song. You have to actually sing to cover other genres which is the artistry/talent/craft.

Yeaaaaa i remember back in the late 90s early 2000s in UK all the american covers/remakes/interpolations were crazzzzzy. The best was Lamar - 50/50 on the Cant knock the hustle beat but worst must go to Blazing Squad for Crossroads 😂

It's been like this for a while hasn't it? Get a deal. Tour. Market products outside of music. Repeat. No-one really buys music anymore, streaming made sure of that.

Where yall get that black Charlie Brown from?

European pop is a perfect example of this. I listened to this stuff years ago and I was like "it all sounds the same"

[@IncredibleC85]

8:04 I've heard this somewhere once before the Elvis stole music I don't know how true that is but I did hear that I'm from Memphis and I did hear that I think it's sort of like the comedians with Katt Williams was talking about if somebody can take your material and get big before you do then I guess that's the norm. I do music that's a very well happen to me. I think it's one of the lowest things you can do to a person though.

About the music industry, the best thing that could happen to artists today would be an app that let you register your name as a label, so upon registration in the app, you the "artist" is the brand and become automatically your own label, allowing you to keep all your publishing, all your masters, and all your royalties. Everything you create you own, making the major record labels completely obsolete for the music industry we know today and for all future generations to come.

[@DueceSpice]

SOUNDS GREAT UNTIL YOU LEARN THE LLC SCAM

[@slopaxo]

I am a musician. I work hard and I’m going to create a record label combined with technology to help solve this problem

The landscape of rap has shifted significantly, with a noticeable emphasis on constant dissing and confrontational lyrics. This approach has left many feeling fatigued and yearning for a more evolved form of expression. Where are the days of Lauryn Hill's soulful storytelling or the uplifting narratives akin to "Jesus Walks"? Moreover, the camaraderie of group rap songs seems to have dwindled, replaced by a trend towards sampling without much originality. Perhaps it's time for a return to the basics: rich instrumental productions and albums that delve into deep conceptual themes. We crave tracks that uplift and inspire rather than perpetuate conflict. The era of incessant dissing feels outdated; it's time for rap to embrace a new era of authenticity and creativity.

Artists like Spitta and Larry June are getting to the bag for sure, but as they already said indi artists are exempt. The indi artists actually have organic core fanbases that will go to their shows, buy merch and consume their music on a consistent basis. A lot of these mainstream label signed artists don’t have really have any of the above, so they will inevitably fail once their labels stop propping them up.

Parks right on the money, Luther giving us them joints, man even Usher and Lil Jon with Lovers and Friends, covers are great, unless you not the writer

[@eastwoodccj]

About 2/3 of all country songs are covers. That's interesting how that's happening with 90s R&B

[@moloperams]

Parks needs to start his own side podcast where he has in-depth talks about the industry.

[@igotyourblack4801]

I feel like we're all just waiting for the bomb to go off...in general

[@EDubster]

Hearing this argument created a lightbulb moment for me….could THIS (the potential future of just producing song covers) be the reason people are paying premiums NOW to buy artists’ catalogs? Bc they know it will pay off greatly down the road as the trend shifts to song covers? 🤔

[@BBoldGaming]

Welp… that explains the beef

[@coreygoss1187]

parks getting camera time now..oh aite

[@tupactargaryen]

They’re definitely fixing to start taking our music from the 90’s and put a 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 face on it. Thats why they started buying up all those artist publishing a few years ago.

Na Ai will never replace people I think we deserve a bit more credit than that 😂

[@xavierjanvier1260]

IMO in reference to hip hop, DSP's cost rappers their passion. It's all about getting streams instead of really becoming "King Of Rap". In MP3 DatPiff/HNHH/WSHH days it was a lot more hunger. Plus a lack of artist development. So the product became disposable which made it less lucrative. The formula of flooding the streets with mixtapes to draw in the audience became lost. Posse cut remixes/ Cyphers/ Radio freestyles all just died down. Niggaz don't even debate who's the best anymore cuz they all here today and gone tomorrow.

@@leroyflex1258 of the made quality . Te could do that too . I think the problem is the rushing . All these rappers can extend their runs . Just by making quality. Especially with the internet it will eventually catch fire at some point . Good music lives over time and generation . Good kid mad city will be played forever ,Illmatic will play forever . But almost none today but the top 3or 4 rappers makes good music that will really last . Victory lap was the last real classic street music album . Close second is sauce walka - ghettos gospel 3 . It takes time to make a classic . These guys have no patience or discipline for the most part .

[@leroyflex1258]

@@Del_116 that way of rap is cool but you can’t forget all the ppl who dropped every year or every other year. Don’t forget Wayne’s 18 year run before he stopped Ye run at the start and middle. Chamillionaire/ 50/ ja rule / jadakiss/ and the Dj’s used to drop fire collab albums. It’s cool dropping quality every 4-5 years but that’s why they never win anything and music is not talked about after a month. Drake is doing why Wayne did in the 2000s run and ppl love it still. Only ones who hate are the ones who’s waiting on the classic albums.
