Im not sure if buying bootleg is stealing from an artist. For example with Blond, Frank has made a specific amount of vinyls and sold them all. So wether I buy the original for 500+ or a bootleg for 50, Frank has already made his profits from the limited selling and won't receive any more. Thus we're not stealing. However buying a bootleg that still has official copies in stores is stealing

It's interesting because I've heard of a few people actually getting Kanye West to sign bootleg copies of Graduation and he didn't seem to care, I've also seen a few people have autographed Nothing Was The Same bootlegs, so sometimes I feel the artist doesn't even care, maybe because they know they don't plan of releasing those records on vinyl any time soon, so they don't mind people wanting them on vinyl so badly.
Your channel is obviously blowing up from your first Tyler the Creator vid because its topically a pretty easy click, however the fact that this latest episode is maybe of the highest quality yet is a promising sign.
i only buy vinyl for mixtapes/albums that never went physical. bastard is one of my favorite records i own and i would def buy it again if tyler did release it on vinyl one day
Great video and I can see you put a lot of effort into your content! I agree with everything you say. Just like you said about yourself, I am weak and will probably fall into the temptation of getting graduation on vinyl in the future 😂. Anyway great video and I subscribed aswell!
Thank you!! Dude.. can’t even lie I love it 😂 sounds pretty good and it has a CRS and goodnight bonus track on it. Definitely happy with it. I’d look at discogs or try your local record shop. Sometimes record shops hold bootlegs. Anyway, thanks for watching!!
I’ve been wanting Amerikkkan korruption on vinyl for years. I finally found a affordable custom vinyl website and I finally got it. Not bad definitely my favorite record I own.
I just found out about your channel but i really love your videos,you definetly deserve more subscribers. By the way monopoly is my favorite danny brown song
Thanks!! I have been waiting for someone to comment on that. It’s one of my favorites too. I think 30 is just barely ahead of it. I love his voice change and emotion on that track. His flow on Monopoly is unreal though 🔥
@@UGGMUGG was joking, but I’m a digital flac, dsd person. so listening to a record with a cd or digitally mastered hiphip on vinyl is strange to me. I hope it happens for those who care though
from what the internet says, the album artwork was supposed to represent the death of physical copies and transition into the streaming world. hence why tlop had no physical copies and was being update after its release
One thing you didn't mention is bootlegs of songs/albums that haven't been officially released. The original mix of The Clash's album Combat rock, "Rat patrol from fort Bragg", was never released. But somehow, somebody got their hands on the mixes, and vinyl pressings have been made of it. Unfortunately, the bootlegs are still rather rare, and when they do pop up for sale, they're pretty expensive, especially for a bootleg. I hope that someday Rat patrol from fort Bragg gets an official release, cause I believe that some of those mixes are superior to what we got
Amazing video. I'm also in the middle kind of. The only bootleg I own is the life of pablo, which I think is understandable because Ye or his label don't wanna release it lmao
This video was so well made, very interesting and put together! I just started collecting records and my dad showed me his old collection and let me take some. His collection is obviously much older than the albums shown in the video but he had some really cool bootleggs. For instance he had one of an old Beatles concert as well as a bootlegg of some different Bowie songs from a certain era. Thought they were pretty interesting!
if the record was never originally pressed, I don't want it. I'm not wanting Yeezus on vinyl despite how good the record is. I want the CD version of it cause that was what it was pressed on.
Oh that would be a fun video! I do have a public playlist on my channel where I upload unlisted videos of records I pick up! Maybe I’ll make a collection video and throw it in there.
there's also the fact of being outside the US or Europe. I just bought a bootleg for slipknot's first album. Why? Simply because it is way too expensive to buy the original one. The lowest price i've found would be 43 dollars if it was new. The bootleg costed 15 dollars, also because it had warp issues. But there just isn't a lot of margin for someone from south america.
There actually is a legit version of Graduation on wax. It just was a white label never for sale and made exclusively for promo in Europe I believe. Cool vid tho.
I'm a freshman on vinyl collection, recently I saw on instagram an Ad from a record store selling some 'unofficial' albums, I did a quick search on that and I agree with you. I think bootlegs are not bad at all, sometimes is the only way to get (or even rescue) music, in Mexico many `sonideros` (sound systems, they play mostly cumbia and salsa) exported music from Colombia trough this pirate copies. for me the problem comes with this overpriced bootleg or unnecesary releases especially if it comes from a shitty digital archive. It's all about preferences.
I say get bootlegs if the artist never made a official pressing LOOKING AT YOU YE. ( 9:01 WHEN I LOOK ON EBAY I SEE THAT ALL THE TIME AND IT PISSES ME OFF.)
I don't think buying bootleg records is stealing from an artist. I mean, some bands' fanbases (eg Grateful Dead) have created whole cultures off of buying bootlegs of an artist's live performances. Nothing wrong with that. If I were an artist, I wouldn't have a care in the world if someone bootlegged my live performances. Hell, I'd buy them.
What are your thoughts on a bootleg on an album that already is out on vinyl and accessible but the difference is let’s say there’s a deluxe version with bonus tracks and that’s the bootleg but the original release didn’t have the bonus tracks and there’s no official deluxe. Btw the yandhi vinyl comment I found hilarious I have that one as well the vinyl makes me cringe whenever I play it lol but hey cool album. Speaking of which since yandhi is unreleased my second question would be is that stealing from an artist or not really cause it’s not out? Not sure about that one so Whatchu think.
I've got a MBDTF Vinyl on my shelf and you left it out of the Official/Unofficial release section. I'm pretty sure its official cus its hella Well made, split into three vinyls.
Bruh… 0:598:12 please do not hold records like that if you want to be taken seriously in the vinyl community🤦♂️ putting you fingers on the grooves is one of the cardinal sins of record collecting
Man on the Moon 3 is incredible! Then again I am a Cudi stan.. 😅 but, I dig it so much. I thought that the intro was perfect. The first half has a lot of trap and I think Cudi sounds so good over that sound. The second half is definitely more of a MOTM 1 feel to me. Fall in the void, Elsies baby boy, tequila shots, she knows and pale moonlight are my favorite tracks! I actually really dig show out too, never expected to hear Cudi on a drill beat but, I love it haha. My favorite thing about the record is that the tracks are short and straight to the point. There’s not any filler. That’s actually my main beef with Pain Passion & Demon Slaying. Some of those tracks are like 4-8 minutes long when they only need to be like 3 minutes. But, with MOTM 3 the tracks are straight to the point. I also dig the production on the album! I love how layered some of the tracks are. When the beat starts speeding up on She Knows I always enjoy that part, gets me amped haha I mean I would make a full video on it but, it seems like it would be a little late now. But! I am working on a Kid Cudi worst to best list! So maybe I’ll discuss it there! WLR.. I’ll admit on first listen I wasn’t really feeling it. I didn’t hate it by any means but, i just thought it was a let down. I was hoping for more of the leaks to appear on the album and some more classic Carti baby voice. But, after a lot of listens I’m digging it. I’m actually pleased that Carti decided to switch it up a bit. The production is interesting on the album too. Reminds me of some old Nintendo games haha I dig his vocals on some of the tracks too. His voice is raspy and he puts a lot of emotion into it! My favorite tracks are Go2Damoon, Over, Sky, feel like dyin, Beno!, Not playin And of course Metamorphosis.. But overall I’d say that the album is just fun! I don’t get or understand the hate. I’ll give it 6 months and people will like it. I remember Testing by ASAP getting so much flack when it first came out. But, now people are coming around to it. WLR isn’t like AOTY but i definitely enjoyed listening to it! Anyway, thanks for your comment and for watching my videos!!
Oh the video I used was from rolling records. I have no idea, I’ve seen a few in circulation with the original cover. Not sure how either sounds thought.
I know this video is a year ago, but I just want to add in the time of the “vinyl resurgence” if you don’t put it out on vinyl and someone else does (especially if it’s an album) then Tuff Shit lol. Like Kanye would PRINT money if he released Yeezus and TLOP on vinyl but 🤷🏼♀️. And also you aren’t stealing from the artists in the case of rare expensive pressing because you’re giving the money to the 2nd hand market, tbh you’re robbing yourself paying all that money for wax lol. AND you can even make your own records now, so really if you (the artist) aren’t going to do, I for sure am lol.
Great vid, but in the Kanye releases with official vinyl, you forgot MBDTF. It did get a limited pressing, but it was enough for it to be not outrageously expensive. Like 90 dollars on Discogs but it’s certainly not the worst price.
I think no one should support bootlegs for albums that were never released on vinyl. Just because you want something doesn't mean you're entitled to have it.
can’t believe i won’t be able to support my favorite millionaire artist buying a bootleg

It’s always okay to steal from artist and companies that decide to make they’re albums or games inaccessible.
