Technology is going to keep progressing. Vinyl will eventually completely die, as will CD's. You're gonna have to get over it at some point. The day will come when everything is digital. Hiphop adapts to technology quite well. You will eventually become the equivalent of someone today in their 50's or 60's that only listen to classic rock on record. And thats fine if you only like "golden era" rap, but some of us love the new shit too so maybe keep the preaching to yourself. just sayin'.
I never had a problem with cd's... I started buying them in July of 1990. I liked buying full albums and ep's on cd and buying all the singles and promo's and white labels on vinyl (for the most part). And albums I
really liked I would also sometimes buy the vinyl of in addition to the cd. And for the record, since late '87 or early '88 I have never turned my back on new Hiphop. To this day I still buy
all the newest releases on cd and vinyl.
Just in the last few weeks I have bought... Beneficience LP, Blu 10", Celph Titled & Buckwild 2xLP, Damu The Fudgemunk ft. Buff1 7", Damu The Fudgemunk LP, Herma Puma 7", Iron Lyon EP 12", J-Live 12", J-Live EP 12", The Left 2xLP, Maticulous EP 12", Paul Nice & Phil Most Chill 7", Roc Marciano 2xLP, Soulkast (Prod. by DJ Premier) 12", Telemachus ft. Roc Marciano 7", Venom ft. Blaq Poet (Remixed by DJ Premier) 12", Will Vill ft. Roc Marciano 12", Action Bronson CD, Beneficience CD, Damu The Fudgemunk CD, DJ Deadeye CD, DJ Kryptonite CD, D-Stroy CD, Dysfunkshunal Familee CD, DC The Midi Alien CD, ESQ & Chikaramanga CD, Ghostface Killah CD, Has-Lo CD, IMAKEMADBEATS CD, Kyo Itachi CD, The Left CD, Madlib "Medicine Show" CD's, Malcolm & Martin CD, Man Bites Dog Records Compilation CD, Pharoahe Monch CD, R.E.K.S. CD, Von Pea CD, and other vinyls and cd's I can't remember right now. And those are all dope (real) Hiphop newer releases!
Oh, and I think Bobbito
still don't like cd's. He even said it was cool that people converted and uploaded his old shows with Stretch, but said that whenever he wants to hear any of the old shows, he plays his tapes. He also said he plays only vinyl. ;) And you can check with Verge too cuz he interviewed him recently.
