I wasn’t joking

The music industry is gutting hip-hop, spinning narratives and undermining the culture and music that has kept its pockets lined for the past several decades. It is shameful. It is intentional. And I am calling it out.

Hip-Hop is held to a high standard of performance. Is not respected, but pays the bills. Expected to do great with no resources. Given less, yet must be so much more. Must compete for a crumb of the huge budgets that go to genres that don’t perform half as well across any metric.

“The appetite for hip-hop is down. The consumption of hip-hop is down. The demand for hip-hop is down.” You took it for granted, gave it crumbs, coasted on fumes and TikTok snippets and now have the nerve to be mad that your cash cow isn’t milking the same. Tomato x 3!

There is a difference between a gatekeeper and a steward.

The overlords depend on everyone being frozen with fear and scared to lose their jobs. It's a great way to control people and keep folks from pointing out what's happening. If you have any position of privilege, it is your duty to point out what you see.

Sherry This is only for the men who have a wife who is an ASSET! Most of these modern women today are liabilities so I can see why the men would rather be single while they’re grinding.

"The Culture" doesn't need big business to validate it. In parallel, "The Culture" has made a lot of people rich. Many of those same people have no true investment, no moral compass & no responsibility to it. Their willingness to abandon ship to save themselves is perverse.
