- mixmastamyk 6y agoThat's true and yet the decreasing revenue, monetization, and relentless cost-cutting is real as well.
- wyattpeak 6y agoConcerns about making money are not going to destroy art. Almost all art through history has been made by people trying to make a living, not trying to express for its own sake. We don't have a thousand years of portraiture of the elite because artists were just absolutely convinced that was the ultimate expression of the medium.
- shi314 6y agoYou should say mainstream art in any era.
- mixmastamyk 6y agoThe lack of discoverability and gatekeeping (to some extent) ensures that unpromoted art will not be known. When did the last non-supported musician hit it big? Artist support and development is important as well.

- loudtieblahblah 6y agoGeneralizing criticisms as the same as past criticisms is a sidestep rather than a point.
- fian 6y agoHow about from other established rappers? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0OdmRtuQew https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0OdmRtuQew Admittedly they are now "older" :)
- wyattpeak 6y agoYou say they're older as a joke, but it's very much relevant. Old artists dismissing the developments and approaches of their younger colleagues is a tale as old as time.
- loudtieblahblah 6y agoAnd yet - dismissing criticisms of older people by younger people as "you're just old" rather than answering the criticism is just as old. Older gens hated rap when I was a kid and I was thirsty to defend it with supported reasons Kids today just say OK boomer and move on. Bc they have no defense .
- philistine 6y agoEstablished older musicians hated The Beatles.
