“I hope the stay shining ep and all the other songs are safe.”
@KAG1SO:
“Prolly wanna update the masters and everything, plus put it on Spotify too.”
@JonesTeayanna:
“I suspect his family requested it to be taken down, people might have been sampling the songs & exploiting his work without getting permission through the right channels.”
@Siya_ZAR:
“Wouldn’t make sense to take it down because of sampling. It’s probably an ownership situation with a label.”
@smokedoutnerd:
“Yeah if the wrong people were benefiting from the royalties they made a good choice bringing the album down.”
