Justin Timberlake was just an outdated member of N'SYNC until he recorded "Sexy Back", which I hate by the way. And I loved Monica's classic R&B, but she ran out and sang "Every Time Da Beat Drop" with Dem Franchize Boys just to be all bad. And who can forget Christina Aguellira who went topless for the cover of her album "Stripped". I don't understand this. Why are artists compromising their originality just to become popular again?

Artists are pawns of the music business. Most artists have very limited creative control over theig image and the material that gets released. If gangsta Rap sells and they can be packaged as a gangsta rapper Walaa-50Cent. If crunk is the thing Monica remakes I'm bossy and calls it every time the beat drops.
Stop buying this crap and marketing tactics will change.

Because, in order for the conspiracy to function properly, it is important that the citizens be kept tranquil and sedated. However, it is also important to make the citizens feel that they are not being controlled, so we get our little rebellions that are sanctioned by the conspiracy.
Doesn't it make you feel all raw and violent when you listen to the latest gangster rap artist telling you about how fun it is to shoot someone ten times, peel the skin off their head, and hang it on their wall? That's what I'm talking about. The conspiracy knows that the average Joe isn't going to go out and kill someone, but it makes us feel like we're rebels, like we're out on the edge and different.
But we're still controlled by conspiracy-sanctioned bad boys and girls.

listen Alicia Keys, she's very classy, doesn't strip off in her music videos and doesn't go all ghetto just because she has some black blood in her. I love her.

It's called selling out and I'll give you one guess who they're selling out to.
