![]() ![]() ![]() Its a common take on r/HipHopHeads how JAY Z has hurt his legacy with young people by not being on Spotify for so long. However to modern audiences thats obviously become increasingly more complicated and unrealistic as most people don’t have computers with disc drives to import CD’s if they felt motivated to at all. In the 00’s this wasn’t a problem as CD sales were still huge and it was easy to walk into any store and purchase the Beatles or Princes catalog. He could be a huge figure among young country fans, and yet his current demographic of young people is just those who use Prime Music, or listen to CD’s, but not Used CD’s as Garth is against those.īeyond Brooks many artists have had complicated relationships with the internet, Throughout the 00’s The Beatles weren’t on iTunes, Princes catalog wasn’t streaming until after he died, and until recently JAY Z’s music was exclusive to his service TIDAL. This has naturally done a great disservice to his legacy and has guaranteed most people under 30 will never listen to his music or have an interest in it, especially in an era when so much of 90’s kitch like Kenny G has become cool with young people, and Country has had a big moment from memerap like Old Town Road to sincere country pop like Taylor Swift and Kacey Musgraves. ![]() Meaning unless you choose to use Prime Music (which most people don’t even if they have it) or choose the minimal Concert footage on Youtube its very hard to legally hear his music. Garth Brooks is one of the highest selling artists of all time having sold 170 million records with nine Diamond albums, along with being one of the most influential country artists transcending into a pop superstar throughout the 90’s, and still to this day he is constantly on huge stadium world tours.Īnd yet despite all this and his $400 million net worth he has chosen to completely suppress his music from iTunes/Apple Music, Youtube, and Spotify, only allowing his catalog on initially his own streaming service GhostTunes which migrated into Amazon Prime Music. ![]()
