I have seen all of these services come and go...the party is coming to an end

Besides...if you have a banging system in your car...you NEED the lossless...once you listen you will actually hear what you have been missing

what do you mean by lossless? I always try and go for the best bitrate i find (usually 192 or 256, sometimes 128)

There are a couple of lossless formats. They don't compress the music like an mp3 file. The bit rate on my lossless files is 1000+ and there 30+ mb compared to ~7 mb for a 256 kbps file.

Anything below 256 kbps sounds pretty shitty to me.

Buy the CD and rip them yourself. Or sometimes you can find them in torrents or on filesharing software.

There are lots of different kinds. I use FLAC. Do a wikipedia search or something. If you dont have decent gear (headphones/speakers) than 256 will be fine.

And I'm sure if Drake isn't already getting paid, he's about to be.

That said I heard some interesting stuff about Lil Wayne. I heard he gets an "allowance" from Baby and that he mostly gets paid in cars. Bangladesh, the guy who produce "A Milli" said that he hasn't been paid by Baby for any of the work he did on The Carter 3.

Really? Damn baby should of paid him $$$ for that gem of a beat.

piracy all day

[2000gsr]

Limewire goes down, something else pops up a week later and stays around for a few years and the cycle goes on. There will be plenty of free music to be had in the future.

as long as lil wayne can afford big rims, i'm going to download torrents. even when he's broke after a monumental "rain storm", i'll still be downloading.

That was the only beat Bangladesh produced for that album. He's a mediocre producer, at best.
