Crazy that iTunes shut down because of the transition to streaming and years later, the general thesis of what iTunes offered might be part of the solution the music industry is looking for. 1. The ability to support artists by buying their music, giving them the ability to earn more music 2. That purchased music living in a library with the rest of that listener's music in one place, as opposed to a separate app or platform just for the songs they buy If Apple wanted to relaunch iTunes with the ability for artists to offer tiers or packages of their releases and allowing fans to pay what they want, could it change the game? Wild how cyclical music is.

50 Cent DEBATES with Andrew Schulz’s co-host AlexxMedia over Jay-Z, claiming Hov NEVER dominated rap musically like people think and used his LABEL to put himself among the GREATS, before saying Jay-Z NEVER beat him and did EVERYTHING to make sure Kanye West could 😳👀 “Jay-Z is significant and a phenomenal artist, but even better at maneuvering himself into that position without the music actually doing it. They did every f-cking thing, they unloaded the bank, to get that Kanye record into a good space. Then it worked.”
