Fuks yeh!!! I’ll download this ish blind… Guaranteed Fire!!!
That’s really dope of him and Alchemist to release this shit for free. I would’ve bought it, straight up. However, it makes you wonder… how the hell does that make them money? How do you just keep dropping free albums?
Yeah i wonder about this myself. You don’t make money doing this right?? If somebody can explain the logic behind this i would appreciate it.
I’m pretty sure that he’s just wants to get a buzz around his name cuz let’s face it, I’m a big fan of Bronson, but he’s not that well known. And a lot of these artist make there money off of shows so they put the music out free to get people to get in line and buy tickets or albums down the line.
Guess its based on the following logic.
Dropping an album, whether its free or not, brings you two things: a) new materials for your catalouge and b) cheap and easily accessible promotion / hype.
The first point is easy to understand, but the second maybe worth a little explanation. Since nowadays artists earn their income mainly from doing shows, dropping such album can boost the number of invitations significantly. And can’t forget about touring, which is another option profitable option – a new LP is always good occasion for that.
Other than (but still under the b) point), there are certain opportunities to make money through social media. A lot of artist got paid after YouTube views, not talking about advert placements and personal sponsors. Dropping an album (I repeat, wheter its free or not) have effect on these things too. Just think about it: if you have a new LP, there are new singles so you have to shoot new videos about them, where you can manage visual content however you want. Users will check it because they curious about your new stuff, they see you and the brands you got a deal with, which makes you money several ways that I explained before.
As far as this one, Alchemist probably got paid for it in advance for production / mixing / studio time etc., and Bronson is about to cover his expenses the aforementioned ways. Hope they will succeed, good luck for them.
He makes money by doing shows and going on tour
Damn good explanation 2nd anonymous. Salute.
they’re charging what it’s worth… it’s Alc’s throwaway shit and Bronstein’s thinking is he makes way more live than he could with an album… that’s almost certainly true so while i wouldn’t listen to him with your mom’s fucking ears, as far as making $$$ he’s on point.
BRONSOLLINI GETS YOUR MOMS TO PAY TO SUCK IMPORTED GOAT CHEESE OFF HIS BALLS WHILE DRESSED AS THE ULTIMATE WARRIOR. THATS HOW HE GETS PAID.
Dude is overrated, but this should be dope because ALC always comes with some ill shit
Bronson posted on his twitter last thursday (Nov.1) that Rare Chandeliers was comming out on the 13th not 15th. Get your facts straight or stop confusin all of y’all.
…..and he updated his twitter yesterday saying it will come on the 15th..
like this retarded fat fuck hasn’t blown through so many brain cells smoking he doesn’t lie all the time and forget half the shit that’s true
whiny obese cornball rap about nothing for white nerds wow what a ‘culture’
Featurin Evidence and Sean P.? I’m interested.
this fat fuck action bronson has gained at least 130 pounds since he started rapping.
he can hardly breathe or function in interviews. obese stoner blob with a beard and belly gimmick. sounds like ghostface minus ghostface killah’s flow and legendary skills. more fat boy raps about hookers, blow jobs and holiday treats. hope the beats are good. watch action rap live. pathetic. screaming like a porked pig, winded like the 12th round, sweating like a christmas ham on stage. what happened to this music.
Why do you troll every action bronson story with your fat routine? You mad?
tbh this guy is kinda funny sometimes, don’t take anything he says seriously
you proably listen to rick ross so fuck off
lol cover is dope
Gonna be wackiest wackest non black shit of the year. Dude should stop rapping and start tap tappin. Wack asks rapper
BRONSTEIN (who’s Jewish, not Italian) changed his name to TWO CHINZ…
next album title is I CAN’T SEE MY FEET
He’s Albanian
His mom’s of Jewish heritage.
i highly doubt that hes jewish man, im 100 percent albanian and for the most part we muslims ive nver heard of an albanian jew ever
Atleast he was smart enough to put Nicki Minaj’s naked ass on the cover…

1 track is missing
Indeed Bathtub 8 is missing. Must be tied into another track. My download also has 13 tracks.
Is this the real Mr Flamboyant or an imposer?
I guess they took 12. Bathtub 8 Feat. Deep off, Anyway great tape and it’s free so can’t complain.
i’m hyped. nyc has returned. action bronson, big baby gandhi, your boy for life, joey bada$$, asap rocky, let’s go!
Its about time niggas start acknowledging Joey Bada$$ and Your Boy for Life. Wouldnt say the same about ASAP or Gandhi tho.
This was weak. The single was the only song I liked. I want that Blood of the Goat instrumental, though.

dooooope for real.
lol, yur losing your troll chops. u used to be better at this
One of the greatest producers alive (the other is Dre) strikes again.
utter dogshit, Alchemist fell the fuck off and BRONSTEIN is obviously brain damaged… hard to believe there are two fat kids who call this obese sack of shit “papi.” retard music for retard people, like KRS-One and Public Enemy never happened, what an achievement for whitey.
whitey? get the fuck outta here with that racist bullshit (ignoring the irony that its mostly the whites who actually go out and support the artists in mainstream records or go to see the underground acts at their live shows), plus your comment says nothing about lackthereof the quality of the music or not. type an actual thought-out intelligent comment next time dumbass
Krs aint been nice since 95…get a grip
Fuck out of here KRS just dropped a tape this year that was dope.
Good to hear AB rapping on Party Supplies beats
Got Damn this is Hip Hop suckas! Good Shit!!!
Iz it worth of my precious time? Does beats bang or cure your insomnia?
this shit is horrible alchemist wasting good beats fat nigga whack we need cover coup 2
Yes! Couldnt wait for this to drop
like a 30 pound steaming shit after Bronstein gets done eating!!
It looks like they had fun making this album is the vibe I get from it, which is rare nowadays.
All you haters crack me up. Bronsollini is nice. He does not take himself too seriously and has fun with this shit. Alchemist’s production is dope. Rare Chandeliers is better than most albums that cost money and it’s for free.
SHIT IS DOPE!! BUT IS IT ONLY 13 TRACKS NOT 14 IT ONLY DOWNLOADED 13 TRACKS FOR ME. The bathtub 8 track didnt download. ANYONE ELSE NOT GET THIS TRACK EITHER
they took it out, none of the downloads have it
Chill dogs, don’t wanna have to Michael Vick you! Overall a well executed project. Concise and well put together. The beats are on some real throwback to the golden era Hip-Hop shit. Reminds me of a young RZA, witty/unpredictable. The rhymes are sick too! Fuck all the racist shit, if dude’s nice he’s nice, Period.
