So yesterday i went into HMV to have a browse. Until it came to my attention that the prices of some legendary Hip-Hop albums are crazy cheap.
Now i'm all for a good bargain but to see that Reasonable Doubt (my personal favourite) was priced at only £2.99!!! ....Thats crazy to me!
No matter how old the album is, why should it lose its value?
Most 'old' things keep their value, whilst gaining more as they get older. Why can't this happen with albums too?
And i'm not just being biased because it's Jay-z and everyone knows i love Jay-z but even Nas' 'Illmatic' and Biggie's 'Ready To Die' albums were only priced at around £3-4.
I guess that this is all good for people who don't buy much albums or like to spend much money on albums, physical copies especially, and it's understandable that albums are rarely brought anymore due to privacy etc.
However i will believe that classic albums should definitely keep their value.
What do you think?
