it's called making a living

why didn't they invest in other shit in the early 2000's?

they're doing better than I thought, in terms of sales at least

>>72140075
the record label takes almost all of that money

>>72140031

wow it must be depressing that every release you sell less and less

>>72139817
Sounds OK,nice chorus.

>>72140284
Nobody buys records anymore

>>72139817
You're lying and i don't believe you

Holy shit i thought this thread was a joke. Linkin park and fucking Stormzy?? I must be having a heart attack or something

>>72141284
Oh god it's so fucking terrible. Only decent part is Stormzy and even that doesn't fucking fit. The chorus is the most boring and basic radio top 40 shit. It's obvious this is only for the money

Stormzy is the most obvious industry plant around.

How did Meteora sell 7,000,000 less than Hybrid Theory? You would've thought the gap would've been a lot smaller considering the hype and praise from Hybrid

>>72139817
Please tell me you're joking...
I wish Stormzy would just fucking die.
Infact, all "grime" MC's must die.

By 2003 the whole Nu-Metal craze was already starting to die down. I guess that contributed
They shouldve tried to put something out before that

>implying Godfather isn't one of the best albums of the year so far
