Kno fires shots at Spotify (free Cunninlynguists albums)




The always outspoken producer/emcee (the token white boy) of Cunninlynguist recently unleashed some barbs aimed at the Spotify CEO Daniel Ek. I'm a huge supporter of Cunninlynguist and own every record they've put out except the first one...but I'm on record as saying Kno often comes off like a......bitch (for lack of a better word). Mainly when he went on his little holier than thou rant on kids calling out his sample works. Here's his spat.

"It was recently revealed that the CEO of Spotify is worth $307 million dollars -- more money than every artist they feature except 1. In honor of the .005 cents per play we get from Spotify as they trick you out of your weed money under the guise of "supporting artists", it's "Fuck Spotify" week at CunninLynguists.com! Take this week off from streaming CL on Spotify and download any album from http://www.cunninlynguists.com/ at whatever price you choose -- even free! - Kno"


Of course the CEO of Spotify is a Multimillionaire he created a product that legions use. The dude created his first company at the age of 14. I get what Kno's saying here, I really do...but to be pissy about it is retarded....but the good news is for a very limited time you can get the entire back catalog of Cunninlynguist and co records for any price you desire....free included.

JOIN ME... With Spotify


If you arent familiar with Spotify, its the HOT new music sharing awesomeness. I havent been posting anything on the blog because I've spent the last few days just playing on Spotify. Its basically a huge music catalog "in the clouds." Meaning, that it will not only store and let you play the music that you already have on your computer, but it also has a humungous catalog of music you can stream for free. You just punch in an artist's name in the search bar, and it brings up full albums, singles, remixes, etc. Now, dont get me wrong, it doesnt have everything, but it has a lot. I was a little disappointed at the lack of early Cash Money music available (No Turk? No Baller Blockin Soundtrack? No Hot Boys? C'mon son). But still... And if thats not enough, it also integrates it all into your social networking. You can create playlists and post them to your facebook, and since the music is all in the clouds, anyone who has a spotify account can click over and listen to your playlists anywhere at any time, without having to download anything. It's amazing. Now, there are different levels of accounts, and I just have a free one, so I dont have any invites to throw around, but I can let you know where you CAN get invites...

Via Sprite
Via Ashton Kutcher
Via Coca-Cola
Via Mike Shinoda (from Linkin Park & Fort Minor)
Via Herbal Essences

One of those should work for you. And when youve got your account up and running, check me out @ kickthekan
