The idea of hosting listening sessions strikes me as a way to capitalize on a tour without providing the fans a live performance. They're trying to have it both ways - the scarcity of something that isn't recorded by 'performing' a recording.
- mjmahone17 13y agoIsn't that what photographers and other visual artists do? It's not like there's no work involved in producing an album, and this way your audience can hear your "perfected" version.

- spinchange 13y agoVisual art exhibitions aren't hip hop shows. I can't see how the audience experience and excitement isn't greatly diminished if you're paying to go somewhere to put on someone else's headphones to listen to a record. If someone wants to do that, more power to them. Tickets will probably be very limited and super expensive just reinforce the whole exclusivity and "high art" pretense. I'm just saying, it's hip hop.
