Artist Revolt Against Spotify, Hip-Hop’s Conscious Shift, and Diddy's Image Crisis
Artist Revolt Against Spotify, Hip-Hop’s Conscious Shift, and Diddy's Image Crisis
In this episode we tackle three burning issues in the music world. First, we dive into the growing trend of artists abandoning Spotify for direct-to-consumer sales. This paradigm shift indicates a broader movement of artists seeking more control and fairer revenue from their music.
Then, we examine the transformation in the hip-hop scene. There’s a noticeable pivot towards more conscious, thought-provoking content. We discuss what's driving this change and its implications for the genre's future.
Lastly, we delve into the aftermath of Diddy's settlement with Cassie following serious allegations. With a rapid settlement reached, we ponder the future of Diddy's public image and career. Can he navigate through this storm, or will his reputation suffer a lasting impact?
