Thats why i feel so sorry for this generation of music listeners
Its like nothing is grass roots or natural anymore when it comes to a buzz
these labels and radio conglomerates have gone full fledged facist when it comes to breaking talent and turning people into stars
and the sad thing is they do it with no artist development or grooming
the singers are no different ...DEF JAM was molding that non singing Jhene Aiko byatch for years
Her stage performances are horrible..but yet they will force feed her just like they do Troy into making u believe they are talented
Its sad...cause EVERYBODY IS IN ON THESE SHENANIGANS
cats like FLEX cosigning these frauds......
simply cause they like being fed by the MACHINE (major labels)
Thats why im glad im an Older Head who was able to witness the MR. MAGIC (wbls) and the Arsenio Hall who didnt fall for marketing schemes and were bold enough to call em out
but now in this "turn up for a check" era....its rare to find those values anymore
Ive witnessed it personally when my own business patnah at a.radio show we had together CENSORES
did you see those two threads made on here recently speaking on this?
the guy claims to have worked for on the artist development (he doesn't work in the industry anymore) and management side.
