Dude, I'm black and grew up in the inner-city. I grew up on this music. I moved out of the city when I was 14 and had to watch the colors and sneakers I wore back in the 80's. I'm old enough to remember when radio stations played NWA uncensored. I didn't know a white person until I went to highschool in the burbs.
My favorite songs were from the NWA (Fat Girl and Just don't bit it) and trust me; I only looked at girls as sex objects. And at a young age you don't know if what their saying is real or fake. It's not until you get older do you realize this.
And just for your knowledge snoop dog did kill someone in real life.
From doctoring the beats in the field of the streets white boy.
You two are missing the point.
I doesn't matter if it free (terrestrial) or bundled (satellite)
The fact still remains: No stations has all the same library. Not even stations with the same genre.
You still have to juggle between multiple sources to hear the content you want.
Let me get this straight: Your sense of entitlement is so great that you can justify stealing -- out in the open, on a public forum -- because things aren't setup exactly the way you want them to be?
And so far 17 other people agree with you.
Wow. Just wow.
Damn, I wrote all that about defending Dre and you found that clip. That clip single handedly busts his entire theory. Well played Sir, well played.
LOVE IT.
Kinda feel like anyone who wants to hear it should already own a copy. Though it will be nice for this to pop up in my radio...should I use apple music.
Not really, and I am old enough to remember very well. Dr. Dre was not cutting edge, even in 1992. It was popular hip-hop.
I already own it on vinyl and cd. But it's a little different now that I can stream it anytime from all my devices
I'm not walking around with a CD player anymore
Nah the chronic is an all time album and apple music will be the largest streaming music service in four months and cost the same as anyone else.
We don't lose if one service commits to trying to be the best. It's up for the others to compete.
Personally between google music and apple music I think spotify is in huge trouble. 15 months from now they will. E in desperation mode.
Says someone who apparently is not aware modern music drives the entire music industry and has forever.
Yes one of the greatest music producers of all time what a waste.
Are all the same cars available in every dealership?
Are all the same movies available in every theater?
Are all the same clothes available in every store?
This is total crap.
I still carry my music around. Sure some is download the non proper way and some is bought.
At least it's not draining my battery, screwing my battery and constrained by good reception.
I see this streaming nonsense as a combination of both slothfulness (ours for not pre arranging our music and just wanting to listen whatever as we go) and Apple's for making more than 16 gigs outrageously expensive.
You do realize that Doc Holiday was in fact a dentist until he got TB, right? So he did have formal credentials.
Just saying.
All of this exclusivity stuff sounds good until Google or Samsung start a streaming music service and have their own exclusivity deals with popular artists.
Man. Take a chill pill. And a reality check.
My 2008 posts were kind of like yours. Trying to find reason and taking Apple's side on whatever. Apple is a company and, like others, they are just after our money.
This whole streaming thing is just a huge dildo up our rear ends (or to the people who are too lazy to organize their own music). I am an apple shareholder and I hope people stick it to them on this one.

I'm not trying to be patronizing here. I'm just trying to point out that I've been around for sometime now. peace
It's fully integrated into iOS, so you can do things like ask Siri to play you a certain song or to start a radio station based on the current song playing, just as two quick examples off the top of my head.
He is one of the most successful music producers of all time.
Currently, what you know as Apple Radio will stay as Apple Radio (a free streaming service that has limitations such as you can't pick the next song to play, you can only skip forward but only so many times, and it plays ads, as an example. Think of it like Apple's take on Pandora).
The new Apple Music will essentially offer 2 services. The beats1 radio station which, from what I've read, will be free to use for all iTunes users. It is essentially just a radio station though, so again you don't pick what you want to hear, and I don't think you'll be doing any skipping either. It's essentially free radio.
The second part of Apple Music is the meat and potatoes of it all. It's the main music streaming service that you would be paying $10/mo for (note, you don't pay for the other parts of the service; just this part costs $10). This is essentially Apple's version of Spotify, in that it streams music, but not at all like Pandora. This is like music on demand. You pick what you want to hear, when you want to hear it. You can make your own playlists that can contain any of the millions of songs available on the service. You can skip to the next song as much as you like. You can listen to curated playlists or make your own. You can find a specific song and play it, on demand. And there are no ads to listen to.
I hope this helps explain it.
