In this episode of THE RAP SOUL PODCAST, host 12Kyle discusses the profound impact of Napster on the music industry. 

He explores how Napster revolutionized music sharing through peer-to-peer technology, allowing users to access a vast library of music for free. The conversation delves into the consequences of this shift, including the decline of artist development, the rise of music piracy, and the transformation of music consumption from physical media to streaming.

Ultimately, 12Kyle reflects on Napster's legacy as both a gift and a curse for artists and the industry as a whole.
