I agree that the artist is to blame; But what is a dude supposed to do when he sees that crap all around him for years and is told by some white in a fancy suit that he will give him 6 or 7 figures to write a 2 and half minute song and turn it over to them? Alot of these dudes, like in the sports fields, come from poor or working class households, so that's the problem. They don;t turn down the money. And it becomes a degenerative cycle: you make the song, you perform the song, I'll front the money and circulate it as far and wide as possible; meanwhile, I'll show you the consumer-filled poison like cars, houses, and jewelry because that's all they show on tv, movies, etc. Only happy people have these things, so you wanna be happy? Then do as I say, and I'll make you happy. It fukking sucks, but its anew form of white oppression; they've done it to us since slavery, its just a new form.
