If you guys favorite artist dropped an album and it got great reviews all around the board, i'm talking classic status, how much would you pay?
Nipsey Hussle selling first 1,000 hard copies of Crenshaw tape for $100.00 each

He obviously did his research to know that it would be profitable.
I don't think he would willingly set himself up for failure like that.
But props to the nigga. I fux with his music.

Yeah I hope something else comes w/ the album. No way in hell I'm paying $100 for just an album...I don't care if Jesus was rappin on that joint. Plus that shit better be a certified classic beyond a reasonable doubt. Nothing wrong w/ changing the game, but you have to assess how your actions will affect the consumers as well. Cheap ass muffugguhs out here barely wanna pay $13 for a cd from their favorite artist...so what makes you think they wanna drop a bill?

People domt realize there are thousands of people who will brag that they had a hundred dollars to waste calling everybody else broke.
Nipseys basically trying to cake off of fucked up mentalities/ignorance which is intelligent.

Loyal fans/stans gonna pay bruh
Niggas buy recycled Jordan for $100 plus. Pyrex selling screen printed Champion hoodies (they don't even bother to take the Champion logo off of) for $250 plus, and they are SOLD OUT!!
He's under rated and he's a superstar with no major label exposure or support! Yes, I'd cop his mixtape for $100 because I believe in his brand and I can afford it!
Broke niggas need not apply, keep downloading Slaughterhouse's latest weed plate for free!!!!

People just can't see paying money for something they can get for free is all it is! But people find money to pay for things they care about!
He's finding out how many of his core fans REALLY give a fuck!!!
I feel him!!!

Nip, On why he is selling the album for $100..
It’s 2013. Whether we except it or not, buying music is a choice, not a requisite. When I think of the psychology behind what makes me purchase an artists album, it’s always a form of reciprocation. Almost like a token of appreciation after I experience the product.
The reason I chose to charge $100 dollars each copy and only start with 1000 units is because I tailor making my music for those who are listening…it’s not about stepping outside of what I’m known for in hopes of new discovery. What that means less is fans that are better served. (Kinda like the effect of less kids in a class room leading to a better education)
I’m more or less focused on fully serving the ones that have connected all ready. That being said its a value over volume thing…if I’m goin to offer a product made with no compromise or concession to the platforms (radio, A&R opinion, label bias) ect…ect..then the way we sell it has to change.
Hence PROUD2PAY.
As an artist my goal is to inspire…entertain…motivated…and most importantly INNOVATE. And as lovers of art we should base our purchase on the artists ability to do so. That being said, if my presence in the game has had any of those effects on you $100 is your form of saying don’t change.
It ISN’T the price of the plastic case and polyurethane disc…it’s the price of Revolution! The price of Rebellion against an industry that has tricked us all into making products that have no soul for fear of not being heard if we don’t.
I have over 400k followers on twitter 140k on Instagram and 400k on Facebook but what good are they if they don’t mobilize around my releases? if only 1000 of those people are engaged to the point of brand loyalty then that’s who I’m focused on.
That being said: I fux w/ who fux w/ me. I have no plans to change up or go left on my people for hopes of a lager audience. And I have a feeling that this 1st 100 will be the evangelist to my cause.
Like Frank Lucas said nobody owns me. We might have to go into the jungle for it to work but once we get it… It’s blue magic.

And what some of yall arent realizing is that the mixtape is STILL coming out for free. So he isnt playing himself if he doesnt sell 1000 cds.. and word is he is he's sold close to 10,000 already... nigga bout to make a mill off a mixtape before it drops..
