dope idea


how much does it cost to get cassette tapes made? i know cds arent more than a couple bucks a piece

 

[DubbC415]

the sound quality on certain tapes are better than some cds i have...Hollow Tip's "Takin No Shortz" sounds way better, picks up more parts of the beat than my cd version does

A lot of bands/artists I listen to these days put out tape only releases in editions of 100 or less copies. They usually sell for between $4-7. I have no idea how much they cost to make but I think the whole tape underground movement is pretty dope.

This is mostly noise rock, ambient/drone music, experimental/noise artists and stuff of the likes and a few "normal" type bands. Not hip hop or anything like that. I really can't picture some hip hop heads or people who listen to rap these days buying tapes because most rap these days is all about being a baller and tapes are not balling lol.

u mean hardcore nuttkase ?

 

[Nuttkase]

Not really, can't think of any of the tapes I've bought recently falling under the hardcore genre.

 

[The Duke of Earl]

u listen to that at all or nah ?

 

[MRTHECOSE]

shit I might have to look into it. it would be exclusive as hell and I feel most people who would like what I do would own cassete players sumwhere anyhow (no90'sbabies)

A lot of stuff I listen to is rooted in hardcore but is not straight up hardcore if that makes any sense lol.

I do like some hardcore though.

 

[The Duke of Earl]

any bands worth listen to ? socio-politically aware,working class would be nice

 

[Nuttkase]

I'm off to catch the bus to work, I'll try to think up a few you might dig.

the cassette isn’t there to be played, it’s there as a piece of memorabilia to encourage people to buy the album

In that case, I'd prefer a Vinyl memorabilia. For those who don't care about vinyl, look at it as getting bigger pictures, text, foldouts and such.

 

[Nuttkase]

Vinyl rules.

But so do tapes.

Call me weird, but looking at my childhood, the sound that a bunch of cassette tapes make when they're clanging against each other is a beautiful noise. I just remembered digging in my backpack for my walkman and Bone Thugs tape, lol.

 

[DubbC415]

Tapes are great because u HAD to listen to the album...forced artists to actually make an album...i couldnt imagine listening to a Demolition Men mixtape on tape now...id lose my mind

 

[AKAZIE]

i would buy a 1000 cassettes right now if i could get them made.
