BY THE WAY...
iTunes is having a mother. fucking. massive sale on hip-hop & rap albums of all shapes, sizes, eras, ages, styles & sub genres... I mean it, there's so much music on sale tha even if you don't use iTunes, you'll find something you want to buy.
I guess the value of this sale will vary from person to person depending on your music-buying preferences. Obviously if you're a physical copy nazi, it's no value at all, and would actually be several times as expensive as simply downloading albums for free from "those" sites.
But if you're like me, and you enjoy actually owning your music collection legally, but don't have the time to make as many record store runs as you used to, it's a pretty good compromise. Owning an album through iTunes is nothing like owning a slab of vinyl.... But it's better than simply being a copier of files.
ANYHOO.. $5.99 is the going rate, and that's comparable to a lot of used CD stores. Also, longer albums, newer albums, etc. are all lumped in with shorter albums and older albums... same price. Deluxe editions don't seem to be included, but there are tons of 2015 albums to choose from. There's g-funk shit, indie hipster hop, rising stars like Rae Sremmurd and Young Thug and Logic, old souls like Tupac, Tribe and Roots... good kid MAAd city and Yeezus are two of the first titles you're likely to see.
Want some Meek Mill?
Been needing to catch up with Run the Jewels?
Miss the Fugees?
I'm not trying to hype iTunes or apple here. In fact, $5.99 feels pretty pricey for a bigass sale. Especially when most people can stream everything at their bloody leisure now. But the selection is really quite impressive.
Just thought I'd throw that out there.
