these services are still ok for both suggestions and hard to find media

I let the Deezer bot surprise me OPM and I absolutely loved it

I also use it to listen to the Chinese rap, which would be a pain to get otherwise

Otherwise their human curated playlists are real good

But I agree with you, it's not how you "own" media. You only get the service to access media

I never heard Chinese rap - what would you recommend?

[hinata08]

some of it is fun and creative, and you see it hasn't the same industry behind

FanKa is breaking a bone while singing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vx0A7ph_2w https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_WYTk3bC2o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMaS3a7W5us

Idk and id check it out too, but French rap is dope too, no idea of the contents, sounds good

[hinata08]

half of it is darkest dark punk roast, and sings about working in the drug dealing industry like it's shark tank, but to afford living in a wet flat with cockroaches while you have no future but to be killed or jailed before you turn 25

half of it is trap music about getting the usual guns, sex and drugs like US rap

Pick your side (or not), but you'll never get into it without a streaming website as it's going too fast and in too many ways at once for physical distribution

Nice nice nice. I have a playlist of good russian rap, now I think I should start a collection of general foreign rap because well yea, I'll edit it in a sec
