joining me now, ali shahid muhmmed from us hip hop group joining me now, ali shahid muhammed from usto you. do you think spotify is right? thanks for inviting me. i just want to say from the beginning that although my podcast is on spotify exclusively, my opinions are solely my opinions. understood. so i think spotify is right, i think they're in a very precarious position considering the state of the world right now in terms of questioning morality on all sides. and especially because they are partially owned by record companies, so it's like the record companies censoring themselves and that's not something... i was going to say that isn't normal, but that's not true. often, at least speaking from a hip—hop group, there have been times when we have submitted music that the record company has said, hey, the content might be a bit a little strong, you may want to reconsider. spotify, because they aren't the record company, they are a streaming service, a distribution service, and again, as i stated, partially opened by the record company, but taking a position that hasn't been taken
