Industry executives sacrificed art for what sells and mega-stars now saturate the market with the same tired lyrics.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Artists change how we see the world - and that can have value in the way people do business.
You see so many artists who are so talented end up living sad, empty lives. This industry takes so much out of you that without the accountability and leaving God in the center, you can be left so empty and void.
You can't fool yourself anymore that your art is your art. When you're not getting paid for that song that's being traded back and forth among millions of people on the Internet, you have to think like a businessperson.
The industry is a menace to artists.
I now believe that major labels can only work with people who care more about fame and money than the quality of the art they produce.
Many artists give up after a while.
The whole industry evolves around a great song.
A lot of artists are much more concerned about how their work is used and how it's disseminated. That, to artists, is as important as the money, for some people.
All artists are people of growth. It's like food, you take the good and leave the rest.
The art market was very different before the mid-1980s: then, art was all about passion, whereas now it's become a commodity.
