It's usually those artists who don't care about making money that make the best music anyway. I mean lets take for example Missy Elliot a sucky artist who had a huge year and got video of the year on MTV. She openly admitted to the general public that she half-asses all of her lyrics on her albums these days because she doesn't even have to try and people will still buy her albums so therefore why try at all? Basically she's calling all of her buyers a bunch of idiots on some "Haha I'm making crappy music on purpose and you stupid bastards are still buying it" and of course the idiots don't even realize it cause they're too stupid to know thats what she meant. 50 cent (granted he's actually pretty good and much better than Missy) said the same thing but for different reasons he thinks they like the music better because since it's so slow and poorly done it's very easy to understand (his example was Lil Flip who sux ass) as opposed to a true lyricist like Black Thought, or Deck, or Monch where you'd actually have to look up a few words to understand. What the hell can you do about it? Oh yeah! Not buy their music! But no we can't do that then we won't be "cool" Jackasses...I'm embarrased to be human.
Asta!!
