We don’t value musicians in this culture. That’s across the board. My daughter has a doctorate in bassoon performance. She teaches at 3 universities, several high schools and middle schools. She’s waiting tables during the summer so that she can afford to teach the rest of the year. Classical music has been undervalued for decades. I hate not having copies of albums these days. I should self correct.
That's because we don't value music in this society. Everything (especially music) has become commodified.
We do value classical music in Nigeria, infact I started classical tuition 3 months ago for more musical insights.
😢 hate that for her
@@SharmonJarmon thank you. She does it for the love of music and getting kids excited about music. But just as an example she turned down a symphony gig at $160 on the 4th and made $400 in tips. You can’t argue which is paying the bills. 🤷🏼♀️
@@Capo4sgnI play 30 instruments and had to start a moving company just to pay bills I’m retired from music I just do it for fun
Streaming services made music artist go back to work a 9 to 5 job.
Facts
In a nutshell statement 😢
💯 😂
Forward insights.
You said it, Mr King. You was the first one reallly publicly saying you were going direct to consumer.
I think we’re entering a stage where in a couple of years the streaming things will slowly become a novelty rather than the standard. Real musicians and real music fans have been pushing for this for a long time.
Also I’m 54 in August, I remember buying actual LPs, rebuying cassettes, and later CDs.
1 of my favs Mick Jenkins still releases vinyl
This is aldo the method Mick Jenkins uses a combo...bcz he still does vinyl
Spotify is going out like Blockbuster if they don’t switch their entire model and start paying artists. Either artists will go directly to consumer or a new platform will come!
Good riddance to spotify if that becomes the case.
I’m in my 30s now and still kinda bummed about that MySpace thing. 😩😔 All of my first beats from 10th grade, gone. Physical is really where it’s at. 💯
My music page still up on there bro 😂
Integrity is hard to find these days. Salute to you for having it and showing everyone how its done. Thank you.
I remember buying cds. It was just something about buying a new cd. Pulling out the booklet. Looking at the pictures. Reading the credits.
One of the things I loved was looking up the samples of a song and going back and buying the original songs. So I had just as much old school r&b as rap music. Infact that was my favorite part of listening to rap. It introduced me to all kinds of music just from the sample.
When they started the music streaming service I as a consumer refuse to comply. I said I'm not "renting" music. I rather buy and own it and listen when ever I want. Then the digital music I bought and thought I owned is now gone because Amazon decided to become a streaming service. This is why I refuse to buy anymore digital copies PERIOD! Over $1000 worth of digital music GONE! NEVER AGAIN!!
Right it was fun back then
#Facts These streaming services are having folks "rent" music. It's crazy. With my new mixtape I did something different by putting it on EVEN instead of Spotify. I sold a few copies and made $70, equivalent to 20,000 streams on Spotify. Smh
I agree next time Im at Barnes and Nobles I'll just buy the CD. Or Vynal plus I love the connection from the artist like baby pics or song written on napkins and artisitc approach on there design for there album cover.
Kanye - DONDA 2 was straight to consumer back in 2022. It’s still not on streaming. Sway in the morning actually came up with it. Kanye said in 2022 Sway was right when he told Kanye back in 2013 that he should sell directly to the people. “How sway” was actually just self doubt. Plus I’m pretty sure mtv music is archived like every old site .
Maaannn, just the prospect of, To Pimp a Butterfly on WAX, brings tears to my eyes 😢
Umm wait, you know it’s on wax right?
@@nololin82probably not because there’s extra steps to that too, and it would require the technology that’s considered almost obsolete to play it, crazy as that sounds. I still have one tho.
let's not forget. They took down Livemixtapes, Datpiff & Spinrilla Simultaniously. We talking DECADES of music they just upped and decided to wipe. Listen to Curtiss.
You are built different bro. I love how you do it your way and I think you are a pioneer in the industry, these videos are important af. I know things are changing at this very moment, it has been like this forever. The revolution is here and I know streaming won't last in the way it's being done at this time.
Bro speaking facts. There’s definitely a movement going on. Excited to see it unfold.
I love your message Curtis ❤
Keep on pushing 💪🏼
12:23 my Man!!!!! This song is hard. Makes me want to sign up for Band Camp😂. You are practicing what you preach. Thanks for continuing to inspire big dawg. 🫡✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾. Thanks for your critiques as well
You are on point bro! This is a great post coming a real man!
Physical copies are incredibly important to me. I don’t buy digital I’ll buy both if it comes down to it but I learned my lesson years ago w digital when my sons PS4 broke down and they said “oh sorry all those $80 games you purchased digitally are unrecoverable… our bad!” I’ve never purchased digital again on anything… music, computer games, movies, books ect. Then a month later they wiped my books from Amazon because the authors put out new cover art lol… Therefore they were considered new releases and I’d have to repurchase them… ridiculous! They will do anything to screw over their customers so they make more purchases. They count on you not realizing what is going on and second guessing yourself so you don’t call them out on their bad business practices. Physical is the way to go. I love your message/content. I wish more people were honest like this. Wishing you continued success!
Going to Sam Goody in the mall is missed.
Hang in there for hours and listen to the new music
FYE, Coconuts, Coops Records, Dr Waxx, Gramaohones
@@Team7_Ninjutsu I’m a Circuit City baby lol
Sam Goody was the best
Why wouldn't an artist that has a decent following just have their own website where they stream their own songs? They should get enough traffic that advertisers pay them for space. They will probably make just as much or more than they do keeping it on Spotify.
True
Real heads still buy cds! But this video is so important!
Valuable Info...
Now I regret letting go of my CD’s! All my Prince albums! So many artists whose catalog I owned. 😩😩😩
Same here
Yo do you be editing your own videos too bro your edits be hilarious 😂 that kevin hart “damn” caught me off guard 🤣
I’ll watch your impressions any day 😂
We have to unite to brake the chain of poverty in the music slavery plantation
The face switch tho @ time stamp 7:33 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂 That so Curtiss
Curtiss, i LOVE your shirt!!!!
They be studying you 😂!!!
there is no reason why that mtv database didnt go to a museum ☹️
Curt u are so charismatic😂❤❤
Bro said Black Planet 😂
Yes fam these kids just don't know.
Keep it going god! 🙏🏾
Real talk! When I think 🤔 of all the money 💰 F'ed, pressing up is doable. DJ Hard 💪
Damn Curtis that track you did was tuff💯
“That shit should say Curtis King!!” I’ve been watching you for years. Even though I don’t like the way you say “Beat makers and producers”(too much enunciation on the B in the P) you have been talking about this subject for a while now. I’m not Finna let them rewrite history! Thanks for your insight and dedication.
I still have all of my families vinyl records and Albums dating back to1965; I also have quite a few CD's....I have very little downloaded music, and what I do have is burned onto a CD...I also have very few downloaded books...I've always liked my music and reading materials to be physical/hard copies...Because I knew more 20 years ago that anything digital could be deleted or wiped clean...I read in all genres and some of the oldest books I have now cost 5k and up for a physical copy...Why?.. Because they are no longer in print and will not be reprinted...That tells me everything I need to know....
"Ain't no body finna rewrite history. Imma, any body gone bang fo me Imma bang fo myself"
-Curtisss King
Man dats deep, na Im sayin?
Rick Beato is the man. Would love to see yall talk.
"I thought that he was a merely the product of alot of practice...working on his craft but he be working on his acting"✨✨✨🔥🔥🔥
" Vinyl becomes collector's items MP3's become deleted."
-Egyptian Lover
🎬
He flexin like a MUG😂💯
bro, this is so insane to watch happen in real time, Curtis did it first and totally said he was following his mentor nisey prince & murs. Diyers & the producer community wont forget the HARD WORK you've done
What is ya vocal chain now? shit sounds amazing
This hit me hard 😢 all that content gone no way
Question so I buy music from ITunes how much does that artist see from that transaction, also how’s does added a song to my library works, if I play it 10x a day does that count etc
nah that sink different i ain’t never seen that before😂
Google: Fair wage musician act, they trying to push for 1 stream = $1
Bro I need to go practice my shots at the gym
I really like that ❤
Pretty soon, they’re going to force the listeners to quit listening 😢
the gate keeping of back in the day also needs to be discussed.
When people actually have to buy music again, that may inspire cutting down or consuming the bull crap because I bet there’s a lot of stuff that people have a nurse streaming library that they would never pay for
This is what I say you ahead of ya time Curtis king you said this months ago and caught a lot bs for it. Just remember the first ain’t the first they are the original fam.
We should just do scoring for movies or dj...
These consumers will never feel the feeling of going to a record store and picking up that cassette tape. Read it from front to back. Or even finally getting that album rading the lyrics on the bus waiting to get back home to listen to the album.
I miss buying albums and I’m barely 30.
Hey Curtis not sure if you’re gonna see this but I watched a video last week where you spoke about Tik-tok and how Universal was going to wage a war with Tik-tok over licensing. I wanted to respond back to that I disagree. I believe they are all working about I received backlash from Tik-tok after criticizing RCA Records. I’m no longer utilizing Tik-tok and now returning to TH-cam. All of my videos were censored after I did multiple reviews on how horrible the current G-Eazy album was and I believe you should do a second video that does a deep dive reexamination of censorship and how Tik-tok and the Majors are STILL working together.
Does it MTV Rest in an archive?
I think he meant they stopped paying the domain name for the information to be released to the public. But the files still exist
It isn’t just about payouts. Billboard rankings are based on the numbers from those platforms. That turns into promotion, advertisement and sales.
How can we go back to the original way of buying records CDs and get rid of screaming? We are already integrated into the System. I understand what you're saying what is the blueprint for everybody to get on board sir If we decide To go back And distributor Are music in the store we will need a better way. I hope you understand.
3:19thats it thats alll
Man bro… I left you a message on IG 🤔but it’s looking like you’re not getting them? But regardless, happy Fourth of July. I hope everything is good with you Bruh. God bless you & your family-be safe.
Why that man waste all that fresh water foe😮
Late Steve Albini believed in recording to analog tape and have analog tape masters is the only way to preserve music long term.
Funny thing is, the music is generating money, less of it goes to the artist as the music industry gets more controlled by non-musicians or people who only care about a bottom line
I love live performances with real musicians, you can’t fake that. It’s a meter for quality.
I’m conflicted with this topic because while I agree that streaming services have been a major issues when it comes to paying the artists for their artistry but I look at it as they help get your music out to those that can’t get to physical media. I really think both should be promoted evenly across both streaming services and physical media but I think that’s the responsibility of record companies or DIYers like yourself. I respect both hustles but fully agree that artists get screwed by all distributors besides themselves IMO. 🤷🏾👍🏾💯🔥
Okay, this is in hindsight. Time has given us, time to see how this would play out. Initially, we, in general, had little to no idea the repercussions of how damaging streaming would become to the musicians. There is no way an artist should be getting pennies for their blood, sweat and tears, and we on the tail end, the consumers and the streaming channels benefitting greatly, at their expense.
I would have no problem going direct to consumer, if the musician could keep more money in their pockets. I also believe the artist, and those consumers that care, if they are in a position to do so, should ban together, to right this wrong, and address this. If you pull your music, what do they have to stream? Or am I missing the point of commercial streaming? What is it giving, other than profit for the streaming companies, and convenience to the consumer, that makes it the only choice? Why does it have to be the only choice?
Musician should begin to exercise sovereignty and begin to distribute their own music, or definitely look for more options that make this more equitable for them. There should be a win/win situation for the streaming service and the musician. And it just doesn't seem to be. Musicians, I'm with you if you want to do different, to help level this playing field.
I responded to his post this: "I honestly feel like all artist should focus on selling physical copies again. I still buy CD's of albums that I love to this day because of Apple getting rid of the itunes music/store and Blackground Records for not putting their music on streaming until recently.
What will we play them on tho? We don't use cd players, etc like that now
I remember having all my original cds in the early 2000s man, that was the vibe. And you would think the streaming would pay them more because it's not the physical overhead... that's crazy but I'm here for it
You can’t change the consumer’s behavior by giving worst, uncomfortable and more expensive conditions it’s totally unattractive, it’s nonsense , they forgot they went viral thanks to the streaming services, keep going that way people eventually will forget about them and somebody else will replace them, we are not even talking about big stars, the music world has changed, nobody has a real hit nowadays. You must be fast and be everywhere. It is even low Iq trying to go direct to consumer and not even touching the counterfeit risk.
Just like you said Curtis Spotify is going broke 🤷🏽♂️
Curtis your song was hard🎉
Yup....😮
What if the new norm was distributing a piece of work in the format of a ep. Then in the real world we have the physical copies with links to the attached with the E.p
I can't live without music and only listen on Tidal. I hope Erykah and Lauryn are making bank off of my superfandom. I still buy CDs, last CD I got was Late Graduation.
so what should I just give up on releasing music and becoming a successful artist right now ??
20 times a day for a year ?!?
He lived down the street from me.
Kinda Look Like Raven Too
Any product that gets mass produced slowly Bego to loose its value. Just like a flat screens.🤣 cars. Everything.
Rick Beato's lost his damn mind. Oh you mean back when record labels had all the control STILL ripping off the artist? I buy the record at a bands live show now plus merch and I usually leave a big tip. Not even for the music but for the physical copy with the bands artwork. He thinks no one buys records whatsoever and why is he all the sudden in his gym. Flexing them sinks and gyms.
If you tired of Streams. If you tired of Spotify being all in the Videos , all in the Way at the Shows. Come over to Death Row 💀
records are coming back check out the rocblock

#viral #likecommentsubscribe
Everyone should quit stuff em
I must say tho curt! Kanye west been on this too and even sold those stem players with one of his previous releases….nipsey was also heavily on this ….your only angle here is that you didn’t wanna do it in conjunction with streaming you just pulled your music to make a statement….why not do both if ur fans are already paying for subscriptions…? Ween them off bro don’t cut them off…
🫡
wow i make $500 to 800 dollars just playing and singing one day a week!!
We giving the product away for free
Basic income would resolve this issue easily
So I’d say a guy doing 76million a month that’s around 3million a year in streams but that’s only at the top. No wonder these guys
Do other stuff
25$ for about 7k streams? What do you think you´ll get when it´s played on radio with 7k listeners? Right - close to zero! Spotify as a company is a bad player. Streaming as a technology is not IMO.
Let’s see, I will call 100% BS on this title 😂 no chance Metro takes off his music bro wild clickbait
Dude you wasn't the first
Well he is not an independent Artist, the Label is eating his money, I had made $30,000 from Just 15m streams, good money
0:12-0:21, That quote from @even_biz, *Curtis, you're an independent artist. Is this b.s. true for artists signed to major record labels or is it true for EVERY artist all aross the board indie or mainstream?*
Don't think is about lazy, in the sink dude analogy small artists would live in dark alley clubs that 50 people knew and since beginning of music as entertainment business coorporations or record labels had a say.
Musicians keep saying "Is about the music" awesome dude, thats why NAPSTER was created, more people around the world could LISTEN to your song, great right?
No.
Because labels and artists without the commercialisation of music cannot profit. And is not about music, 100000000 songs could be made a day with A.I, are you going to pay the A.I even if it is a really good song?
No, it does not matter, someone will make money for it.
You yuys are so fkd up that yes, music still require a human to make it. Most of the times, time and energy.
Should be about money? Shouldn't?
In a perfect world, no. But in a pwrfect world you wouldn't be paying to drink water, which is a free resource. It could go to your house, or you could fetch for free, like it should. The ideia shouldnt even be questioned, if music is a medicine for the soul, yeah pay up. Felling good has to have a price.
