All the artists can be accused of is selling out, and while I hate what I see on TV & hear on the radio, which one of us wouldn't be tempted to be a gangsta rapper/ boy band sellout multimillionaire? There's a lot of truth in what you're saying, but you can't leave the person themself without fault. It's about accountability, and many people are accountable: society for perpetuating it, corporations for cashing in on it, consumers for buying into it and the performer for selling his or her soul (for lack of a better term). A lot of people play a part in it, and very few are willing to do anything to change it. | |

It's all apart of the White man's conspiracy anyway. To me the rappers are just acting out what their managers or record companies are telling them to.
But this is all theoretical. NEW WAVE FOREVER: SLAVE TO THE WAVE FROM THE CRADLE TO THE GRAVE. | |
