Inspiring it is,art is the best that can help anyone to excel to greater hieghts .Unity is what only left from the industry.
All the above artists existed when the media was centralized. These where the times of payola scandals, and big marketing campagns that seeem to of had sold the artist to the public.
Now its awesome to see how artists get created without the hassle of a media channel breathing down necks.
The Tyranny of Greed should end soon as long as people open their eyes as to what is going on.
