I believe that's how the guy from Die Antwoord started as well.
His first rap persona was a clean-cut, well put together lyrical genius with a flow and voice to back it up. It flopped.
Then he tries again covered in tattoos and a "ghetto" look and raps about sex, drugs, violence. Makes millions.
Appealing to the lowest common denominator is usually the best for profits.
