Nipsey Hussle's recent decision to sell his "Crenshaw" mixtape for $100 was partially inspired by a desire to change the music environment. Nipsey believes the major labels are a black hole at this point, and doomed failure.
"I feel like the major labels--I'm not gonna say all of them, but as a whole--that business model is a failing and dying business model," said Nipsey.
During an interview with MTV News, he was asked whether or not he would sell his debut album "Victory Lap" for $100 as well.
"I can't say off top, I know I'm going to continue to pay attention to the game and I'm not going to follow what was done," Nipsey said. "It isn't the price of the plastic case and polyurethane disc--it's the price of revolution! The price of rebellion against an industry that has tricked us all into making products that have no soul for fear of not being heard if we don't."
