Ha, what a loser. Artists don't deserve to be paid for their work.
Pretty sure the artists get paid whether consumers pirate the final product or not? The Bungie devs don't get paid less money for every game that is pirated 🤡
Actually they might. Game developers get bonuses based on how well the game sold. Well a lot at least. It's not just games though.
I still pirate things. It's just way more convenient than having 30 subscriptions
That's the take of the suits and investors that receive the staggering majority of the revenue from the companies you're stanning for.
I know they have "arts" in their name, but Electronic Arts doesn't make art.
So just pirate indie releases right? As artist for manor companies already don’t get paid
Most rappers are legitimate criminals some even murderers. They don't deserve shit.
People act like "normal" people aren't criminals. The world is really dark. Oh yeah not to mention ruining lives and families by selling them crack or pimping out women and kids.
Snoop drove for a hitter.
Source: seent it irl.
"Most rappers" you got a source for this or are you as completely unhinged as you sound lmfao
Who wants to bet "criminals" is a euphemism for a certain melanin-rich ethnic group?
My life growing up with emcees and bloods that connect with Boston and ny/bk/bx. As well as being in the graffiti culture. I've had death threats against my family and kids and gunshots directly outside my house, and been stalked. Seen fist sized rocks of meth and automatic weapons.
Believe it or not not heeding the wisdom will be your loss if you ever end up mixed up in the bullshit. It made me almost kill myself and I'm still dealing with it.
Not talking about pop rap. Aside from the old heads from the 90s.
Every dealer has a boss. Every boss has to protect their life. Every boss has a crew. I've seen shit deep. I know the way it all works. Favors for favors etc. If you aren't the guy on the top then your freedom relies on being submissive to the one above you. I've seen people do anything to stay out of prison.
Lmfao shut up you weird ass dork nobody cares
Sorry ur suckass at trapping
What a horrible response, you sound like an awful person.
Why are all my encounters with the hexbear instance similar? What is that instance about?
Yeah im a super awful person "iHUNTcriminals"
Lol
soft as hell cop
I for one would simply not get involved with a drug dealing gang enterprise lmfao
Also "trust me bro it happened to me" is not a source.
I didn't I just grew up around them. They groomed me basically to be naive to their bullshit. Once they realized I actually knew they started threatening my family. Stealing shit etc.
I never sold drugs or painted with them but they realized I knew about their names, and where they live, and how they make their money. They are really sloppy with it.
Might've been the case 20 years ago but nowadays you can buy drugs in bulk through the dark net. If you have good opsec you won't be caught that easily and it's way safer. If you don't care about OpSec, you shouldn't sell or even own drugs in the first place
Wait you're saying that if someone committed a crime before then they don't deserve pay for their work ever?
