1 Tim 6:10
"For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs."
The money is why the music is watered down, why passes are given to vultures like Miley, Kid Rock, and Iggy Azalea, why pop artists sing on the hooks, commercialization of the culture in other words letting it be pimped, gone corporate, rappers being censored, rappers censoring themselves for fear of being marginalized, etc.. Throughout the years we've seen quite a few things go from taboo to fully accepted with accusations of being a hater or Larry Holmes if anyone questioned the so called "progression."
