Kanye West says 'streaming devalues our music'
This development comes after 'Vultures 2' was not released on its scheduled date, which was March 8.
Recently, footage of West was posted online in which he reportedly said, “Was talking with the team about how to release the next album. Like James Blake said streaming devalues our music. We sell albums on Yeezy.com.”
“I got 20 million Instagram followers. When five percent of my followers buy an album, that's one million albums sold. That's 300K more than the biggest album last year,” the 46-year-old rapper stated.
He added, “We sold 1 million items on Yeezy.com on Super Bowl Sunday so we know it's possible. How do you feel about us not streaming and only selling the album digitally.”
