Lil Wayne - Street Chains (FWA Tidal Bonus)

[Clcrak]

Not for nothing, actually more than nothing... it's something.

Anyway, there's no way holding a mic up to a speaker results in zero loss. That is factually incorrect, it would result in substantial loss. A direct rip of the audio source on a PC from software as described (i.e. Audacity) would result in as clean a rip as is possible. Recording from a speaker to a mic would only result in a degradation from that point, regardless of the quality of the speaker or the mic. A clean PC rip would be lossless, that's ... just not lossless. It's not even lossy, it's just gross.

well i never actually tried to record anything though i was playing a song on a phone i believe and held the mic to it and it played through my speakers and the quality was great, so yeah i shouldn't say 0 loss if i've never tried, but i was surprised how good it sounded

Use audacity. You need an aux cable, and you run it from the audio output to the microphone input, then click record on audacity, then okay the song

People don't appreciate this kinda music anymore. That's why Wayne is being shit on. Not because he's lyrically weak because honestly he's stronger than he even was in 09.

That's why I didn't get people doggin the shit outta S4TW2, but I get it now. Wayne's style is lowkey outdated. No one raps on other people's beats anymore. When Wayne makes party music he succeeds, but then people say he's trash because he was at one time undoubtedly, "The Best Rapper Alive" and his party music doesn't reflect that. And when he tries to be more true to himself, that stigma is with him and people write him off.

The ones that don't dismiss him immediately only really want his radio shit, so they're displeased too. Most people just don't care about lyrics anymore unless you're the current good guys aka Kendrick or Cole or Drake. Besides them, and maybe Meek, Tip, Ross, Wale, and Sean(but none of them reached anywhere near the heights of pop as Wayne) all people care about are catchy hooks and flows the mainstream can't even understand or care to learn. It's just like Maco says.

IMO s4tw2 was, lyrically, one of his best and most emotive performances. But he made it worse by using too much auto tune, and his voice was too high. That's just what I think anyway, I think that's why people didn't fuck with it as much.

Wayne is lyrically insane these days, ever since IANAHB2 he has worked hard and come back strong AF. Who knows what people want from him anymore? Least he is lacing his fans with incredible music I guess

I'm not sure if it works with Tidal, but *cough* someone *cough* has on occasion used the freeware PC program Audacity to rip streams and I'm pretty sure it gives you an exact rip of any stream. Thank the Spaghetti Monster for Audacity and freeware. Maybe that someone is wrong, but it's captured some good streams in the past.

That's how I got mine last night. Program called Audio Hijack. Basically can record any sound coming from your PC but the free version is kinda low quality. Yeah Audacity is good just haven't thrown it on the Mac yet.

Oh didnt know that, but then again they could have used "im that nigga" instead as a TIDAL exclusive

[cy-rus]

Wish they could drop the rest of the sessions thru tidal every 7 days. That would be dope as fuck
