    The Record Industry's Decline

    Competition in black music

    in rap, the fact the audience buy into the whole thug/gangsta shit gives artists a license to carry on all retarded and negative.. and be adored for it! while that kinda shit is encouraged, it will occassionally get out of hand.. rap didn't used to be like this.. nwa were the first to admit...

    Public Enemy- Greatest band ever!

    yeah, i know what you mean.. i can't say i've ever understood the bits of chuck-d songs between the primary message ("don't do drugs", "why should i want to fight for a country that oppresses black people", etc.) reading his lyrics is often worthless.. you start off thinking "yeah, let's see...

    The Record Industry's Decline

    well people all over the world are making money off Open Source Software, which is FREE.. they charge to consult, train, maintain etc.. i can see a day when recorded media is free, or nearly-free (subscription-based maybe).. there's still money to be made from licensing, tours, merchandising...
