There have been many artists that have started out as independents and done very well for themselves. In fact, most of the musical artists I am associated with realize an independent label is the way to go to get their music heard globally.  "Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries.

You need money for the marketing. Older artist already have a fanbase and can go the independent route. | |

I don't see where anybody is letting the industry off the hook. It's painfully obvious that what Atlantic Records is trying to do to this young girl is literally sinful. My point was that Keke Palmer and her mother have the moral fortitude to say to them (pretty much exactly as Chuck D stated) "We can't do that. We won't go there. We can't." It's unfortunate that there are "The Acts" that could care less and go along with "The Majors" and their Fillmore Slim-like approach to marketing just because they wanna get paid. That to me is an even bigger point. Any artist, regardless of race, expecting to release decent music (a fairly relative term but so be it) today with a major label is at the very least naive. Nobody can make the major labels release anything they don't want to. The power you have as a consumer is to not buy what you may consider the sub-par shoddy product they're slinging at you. They'll alter what they're doing only if the money stops rolling in. tA  Tribal Disorder
