Commercial Trash (That you call music)

You know what the most interesting reason why people listen to this commercial trash that they consider "music" is because...well, it's the only kind of music that they know. Most people think that..."Hey, if you're an artist that's not on MTV or BET, then you most definitely might as well be considered crap!"
I laugh at people for making such assumptions. These are the same people that may ridicule you for listening to Murs while "they got they Vans on, but they look like sneakers." These are the same people that may diss you for listening to Atmosphere, Hieroglyphics, or Cage while they sing nursery rhymes like "Does your chain hang low...does it hang to the floor?"

The few of us that realize that this is only manufactured music to keep you as a consumer and a slave to multi-billion dollar conglomorate corporations should not be seen as outcasts, but as individuals unlike most of the general public. I could have sworn that music was an artform, not a cash cow! Whatever happened to art over commerce, not commerce over art? No wonder our generation is headed down the toilet...we have morons walking around singing songs about shoes, jewelry, cars, drugs, and murder.

And another thing, this shit that most of you call "hip-hop," is not hardly hip hop! I could have sworn that hip hop was about making you feel good and expanding your mind to help out your community, not subliminally destroy and poison your mind with flith about murder, cash, and hos. You see all these ignorant niggas on TV making videos with elaborate mansions, cars, and models, and to the general public that shit is cool. The commercial rap scene looks just like modern day slavery to me. The huge record companies (that are mostly owned by conglomorate corporations like Viacom) being the slave master while who else would be the slave...these ignorant niggas on BET and MTV all day.
People think because you see a rapper with hella jewelry and nice cars in videos that he automatically labeled as rich. But the funny thing about it is isthat most of these rap artists (recording artists in general) only average 50 cents per album sale!But, I thought they were rich!!! LOL

While the so-called "starving" underground hip hop cat makes 10 dollars per album (if he owns his own record company.

Now, people...don't let the media fool you into thinking that just because you may hear an artist all day and see them all day that they must be rich while the underground cat is starving..The irony of it being the other way around.

Thank God for independent music!
