WTF just happened?

Kanye West releases a $200 Donda Stem Player that can isolate instrumentation and manipulate samples

Grab the Donda Stem Player alongside the launch of Donda and customise Kanye's new tracks.

I'm curious on your thoughts about this...
I know I'm not paying this but, the release of an album as stems must be something we beatmakers/producers have something to say about.

I, for one, wish every piece of music was released as stems.

I def wish that each piece of music had its acapella released at least.

YO YO YO, WHAT THE FUCK. When i was smoking mad shit i talked to a friend and my wife about how cool it would be when tracks released had like a dropdown menu to switch up elements in the tracks to your liking. Like female/male voice, another set of drums, bassline etc.

Now i see this. Fuck, universe is for real just a simulation.

This kind of stuff was only a dream 10 years ago... Now that it's happening, I'm wondering how it hasn't happened earlier...

I mean, yeah there are probably underground artists who've done it in the past but now major guys like Kanye.

I just don't understand the price tag... it makes no sense.
