Isn't that what photographers and other visual artists do? It's not like there's no work involved in producing an album, and this way your audience can hear your "perfected" version.

Visual art exhibitions aren't hip hop shows. I can't see how the audience experience and excitement isn't greatly diminished if you're paying to go somewhere to put on someone else's headphones to listen to a record. If someone wants to do that, more power to them. Tickets will probably be very limited and super expensive just reinforce the whole exclusivity and "high art" pretense. I'm just saying, it's hip hop.

I wonder if you'll get to listen to their album on "Beats" by Dre.
