does anyone think the posthumous albums are just for record labels to make money?

Answer 1

Favorite Answer

No. I think that they are released to give the fans what the late artist wanted - expressions of their creativity.

Answer 2

Yes, the material was unreleased for a reason, because the artist didnt want to put it out, but the record company decided to put it out anyway, so they can make some more money

Answer 3

yes. in most cases. for example biggie the duets. where diddy just took verses from classic biggie songs and remix them. if something is classic there is no need for a remix.

but if it was original biggie material that was worth hearing then yes. but any thing a record label release is for money.

Answer 4

Definitely if they are attaching beats to them and pairing them with rappers who hadn't even had a track before they died but if it's material that's been lost or archived then i think they are ok.

Answer 5

i think a lot of them are like when they make entire albums just to put one new song out or when they make "the very best of..." albums
