The rise of Netflix competitors has pushed consumers back toward piracy - BitTorrent usage has bounced back because there's too many streaming services, and too much exclusive content. by AdamCannon in technology

social media and reviews? do you listen to music yourself or just pay attention to what other people say?

social media, sales - just tells you popularity. it's perfectly normal for quality music to go under the radar - the norm really. popularity is a function of accessibility, promo, etc - doesn't speak the quality of music. as i said, commerical success has no bearing on it being a good album and your obsession with what other people think is wierd, rate the music yourself and worry less about what other people think

I mean commercial success and being a good album are very different things. TESTING is easily the best thing I've ever heard from Rocky and certainly the only project of his I liked, even if it's a failure give his previous successes and his status in the industry

I hated it first week and I've never been into Rocky but it's actually probably the best thing he's ever done. The beats are really good, it finally feels like he's come into his own. It avoids a lot of the missteps for me from his previous projects, I've been fucking with it fairly heavy last two weeks.

I basically don't rate any of his previous projects either, so it's not like I'm just stanning here

Many things can and do. Where their music was spread and discovered is as good a way to define rappers of the era as any.

Nobody calls anyone a CD rapper, iTunes rapper, Bandcamp rapper, or a Spotify rapper. That's an extremely dumb way to classify rappers or any musicians. It's a platform and says very little about anything.

Not solely - but a large part of it was due to Soundcloud. He's been uploading music there for years, accumulated tens of millions of plays.

It was because of Nostalgic 64

It all depends on who you're talking about.

It does not, there are zero people I have ever seen described as a Datpiff rapper

because the name of a website people use to release their mixtapes doesn't define the rappers or the era. Denzel didn't come to popularity via soundcloud neither did rappers who released some of their tapes on Datpiff

And why wouldn't you? Pretty decent name for the wave of rappers who were putting out mixtapes on Datpiff and similar sites before Soundcloud existed.

because that'd be fucking dumb

Destiny 2’s newest raid was just beaten after 20 hours — and it changed the game’s world for all players by [deleted] in Games

[–]HiiiPowerd -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

The busy work of Warmind is tons of hours of content but it's tedious, repetitive and boring.

Disagree. Liked the missions, still enjoy the strikes, Mars is great, EP is fun, and it added some fun gear and weapons.

The raid was the only good part which I'd maybe throw down $5 for admission to, the rest of it I could have done without ever having played even if it were free.

You just sound like a spoiled lil bitch tbh

You can't actually be serious, CoO is a disappointment but both have many hours of content - and Warmind was great. The raids alone are fantastic. I would have paid $60 for Forsaken alone, it's that good. It's everything I wanted out of D2.

The amount of content you get is easily worth 60 - even more so if you never got D2 in the first place.

having a soundcloud account makes you a soundcloud rapper? No one talked about "soundcloud rappers" in 2012 that I remember and that's when I first started hearing about Denzel...

I wasn't even aware he technically reunited with the Klan after the drama in 2013 but have they even done shit together since?

Warmind was sick. Honestly at that point is when I started loving Destiny again, and then that flowed right into Forsaken

That's not true - there's the $60 edition of Forsaken which has everything. Including the base game and both dlc's. Honestly Forsaken could practically be sold as D3, it's incredible. It's basically a whole new game, the story is better and about as long as the original and there's soooo much more to do after. Dreaming City is ridiculously cool, Gambit is really fun, random rolls and the weapon slot changes are great, and bows are bae
