ScHoolboy Q Makes Bold Prediction About Music Streaming Decline

The music industry has been under scrutiny recently due to controversies involving significant artists and how fans consume and purchase music. One such incident is French Montana’s streaming controversy, where he released eight versions of his new album to inflate the sales numbers. He even dropped a 126-song “Versions” edition of the album. Despite these tactics, the album debuted below its initially speculated sales numbers. Another recent controversy involves ScHoolboy Q’s collaborator, Kanye West. Despite teasing his second new album of the year, VULTURES 2, with Ty Dolla $ign, he revealed on social media that he’s considering not releasing the project on streaming platforms. He has employed this tactic with The Life of Pablo, which was initially unavailable on Spotify or Apple Music, and Donda 2, which remains unavailable on all streaming services. Fans from the rap spectrum shared their thoughts on the matter, and Q took to Twitter to voice his opinion. In his tweet, Q discusses a variety of subjects with conviction and clarity.

“THe rap industry firing everybody… god lee…. THey bout to fire all deez cats at tHese streaming sites next.. radio bye .. sum How sum way tHo US RAPPERS gone fuck it up and give sumbody else power once again”

In just a few hours, the post has already amassed an impressive number of likes, surpassing the one-thousand mark. It’s hardly surprising that Q is preoccupied with sales; he recently dropped his latest album, Blue Lips, marking his first significant project since 2019. The album was released earlier this month, and it’s already generating considerable buzz among fans and critics alike.
