I just realized I can buy KRITs whole discography on vinyl. I've listened to so much of this dudes music for free I gotta cop off GP.

 

[Fill Collins]

I buy vinyl at the thrift store from time to time

 

[AirTupacJordan]

Last album I bought was Late Registration back when it came out, a white girl in my class bought me the Finding Forever Common album as a secret Santa back in the day, album was disappointing

Last new commercial release I bought I think was TPAB, most recent physical item in general tho I think was Kid Capri advance album which has some missing songs not on the retail version.

[NotAnFBIagent]

That wasn't the question. Last one I remember buying outright was J Cole's debut album

True but it would be a boring thread cause everyone would say spotify or other service

 

[artificial intelligence]

I dont even count spotify since thats renting music

 

[KingSol81]

A lot of stuff is not on spotify (or streaming in general) also spotify converts uploads to less than 320kbps

But yeah if you're just casually into music and don't care about sound quality than spotify is fine

Technically discs are just a license to the music, movie or game you're buying

 

[KingSol81]

Yeah but they dont disappear when the artist has a label beef or a sample snitch spins the block a decade later

1993 actually.

 

[LOST IN THE SAUCE]

I mean, I pay for Spotify every month. For physicals I got the new Clipse joint in a merch bundle when it dropped.

As for going to a record store and buying music that way? Shit, I think it has to be all the way back when Tower Records was going out of business. They started doing crazy sales where you could pick up like 5 CDs for $10, then 10 CDs for $10, then 10 CDs for $5, etc. I remember getting Sean P - Monkey Barz, AZ - AWOL, Beanie - The B Coming, Madlib - Beat Konducta Vol1-2, Ghostface - Fishscale, Bronze Naz - Great Migration, GZA - Grandmaster... That's just some of the good ones I remember off the top of my head. I just moved to a different area at this time and was in a new high school where I didn't know anyone, so a lot of these albums and artists were pivotal during my formative years, especially since I bonded with most of my new friends over music.

I know I picked up a lot of random shit from artists I never heard of that had the occasional gem, but mostly shit that I just tossed. I also picked up a bunch of classic stuff I had pirated but never purchased, or had the CD but never had the plastic case and insert. Pretty sure I went back like 3 or 4 times with the deals getting more and more ridiculous every time, but less and less good shit available.

I kind of miss the whole experience of having to go to the store to purchase music. Feels good to reminisce. I wish I still had my CD collection.
