Take A Rip of This!!!!!!
Today when someone release's new music weather it's released for free or not it rarely gets paid for. The availability of streaming and file-sharing today makes it possible for you to not ever buy a record again. All you have to do is search for it and it's yours basically. With the market for album sales steady falling a lot of artists artistry has declined as well. People no longer use a lot of time to write music anymore they just freestyle it, which is okay, but it generates a whole genre of music with barely any content at all just people talking about bullshit. In turn people who look up to these guys as artist flood the game with their bullshit thinking that, that's how it supposed to be but really it's not. With the decline in Album sales the artist depends fruitfully on going on tour to make most of their money. Today consumers now are more pumped up then ever to attend the live concert rather then listen to the album anyway. Enabling artist to almost focus on the show more the initially making the music. Had it not been for touring and merchandise a lot of artist wouldn't have made Forbes this year, unfortunately this has what the industry has been downgraded too. Now it entirely up the the consumer if they wish to support you or not by buying your album, rather then it being the only ay they can hear your music. I believe that there should just be a more effective way to distribute your music for profit on the internet to solve this problem. Maybe artist should make their album and their live show more syncopated.

Interesting topic here. I feel like the art of the "Album" is dying. An Album used to be a way to tell a story, but now that singles and EPs dominate, and no one is paying for Albums, this old ideology is lost. Yet I still believe the Live performance is the most real connection an artist can have with fans these days. I wonder how Artists can get back to their storytelling via albums.
