The Cure to Sh**ty File Sharing Sites: AudioMack Posted by Nathan S. on 04/10/12 | Filed under Features

If you're a regular citizen of RefinedHype Nation then you've heard me politely and calmly explain why lose my motherfucking shit over artists that distribute their music via shitty file sharing sites. Rappers pour their hearts, and often their bank accounts, into their music, and then when it comes time to present their music to the world they go with a link that will crash/go dead in two days/is also blanketed in ads for penis enlargement pills/etc.

It's like a chef who buys the finest ingredients, spends hours sweating in the kitchen crafting the perfect dish, and then sends it out to the restaurant on a plate covered in poo. I don't care how good the food is, if you're giving it to me on a poo plate, I'm not touching it. And yet time after time after time rappers serve us up their music on shitty file sharing site poo plates and expect us to eat it up.

Ok, I promise I'll stop grossing you out with poo plate analogies. Here's the point: Instead of just complaining, the mothership has helped create AudioMack, a music distribution site built with artists in mind. It will never crash, will never contain confusing download links, allow fans to find more of your music and a whole lot more. And while it's a dope place for fans to listen and download music, only artists will be able to upload music to the site (sorry guy who wants to send post downloads links to Justin Bieber albums on random forums).

As always, there's nothing better than actually checking it out. Link's below the video - trust me, it's at least worth a look. And rappers; whether you use AudioMack or not, stopping sending me your music on poo plates. I promise it's not helping your chances of getting posted. Thanks.
