Kanye West's 'Donda 2' Album Not Coming to Apple Music

[azentropy]

As my mom always said, “are you bragging or complaining?”

 

[MBAir2010]

i guess the title sez it all, MUSIC!
if you are not a musician......

those tone-deaf suits should make a "cut and paste" streaming venue
and leave the real musicians out if this mess.

View attachment 1960817For all the haters here’s some actual numbers.
1.3mil in profit in 24 hours is probably better than what any streaming service would have given

for a ****** ipod? lol no one even uses mp3 players anymore maybe this would be a good sell in 2001 lol

 

[RichOldMan]

nuttier than a fruitcake ?

 

[adamjackson]

"free music from the oppressive system"

....puts album on a proprietary sphere player thing.

 

[lee647]

Not haters, just REAL people that don't give a damn about him, boo hoo

No doubt decades from now, we'll be reading about someone digging up hundreds of Stem Players in a landfill that once held "ET: The Extra-Terrestrial" Atari cartridges.

As an explanation for why the album will not be coming to major streaming platforms, Ye said that artists "get just 12% of the money the industry makes," and that it's "time to free music from this oppressive system."

Hey, even the dumbass can make a good point from time to time

Ye said today on Instagram that "Donda 2" will be available only on the Stem Player, a $200 device that was released with the initial "Donda" album pre-installed

...Well, I did say "dumbass"

I am not surprised at the hate/response this is getting, but does an artist not have a choice in where their music is distributed? I applaud the creativity, and wish this project a success. If it does succeed, it will inspire other artists to get creative and step outside of the streaming box. There are many problems with streaming services that are worth discussion at length.

I agree. Although if he releases it to streaming services in a few weeks, it’s not a good look.

File this under “who gives an “shish”

Dude's currently publicly harassing/stalking his ex-wife and her current boyfriend after years of cheating on her and leaving her and his four kids to go live on a ranch halfway across the country.

The less of a platform we give this unmedicated egomaniac, the better. When he chooses to take responsibility for his mental health, cool. Until then, peace.

 

[tridley68]

Kayne who ?

 

[apernett]

Should I care?


*Thinks*


No, I shouldn't.


*Plays Billie Eilish and Taylor*

 

[russell_314]

So I can save 12% but I have to buy a $200 proprietary music player ?‍♂️?

 

[Victor Mortimer]

That thing is even uglier than a brown Zune.

News that I really am not at all one bit interested in hearing about....I can honestly say that I spent more time typing this comment than the amount of time I have ever thought of that guy in my existence on this planet.

 

[kaycrystal626]

Good. He is done.

 

[testcard]

Guess I’m going to have to live with the heartbreak.

 

[Macaholic868]

Wonderful news. His 15 minutes were over a decade ago.

More entertainment today trying to be exclusive. I for one will not be pressured with these tactics. Do not have your entertainment on my devices or services, your loss. Other words your entertainment is not that important in my life, no matter who you are.

 

[macar00n]

Oh no what are we going to do

Oh I'm already over it

 

[robertosh]

Who is this guy, by the way?
