Artists aren't making music they want to make anymore
More chasing hits than projects
*mainstream artists.
POSITIONS isnt just an album, its a cultural reset, its the oxygen you breathe, it’s a lifestyle, a reason to breathe, an escape from this cruel world, its art, the first gift you open on christmas, a hug from a loved one, everything you’ve ever wanted.
Yeah the mystique of artists is gone also, now you gotta know what every artist is doing everyday or they're automatically labeled as weirdos and "mysterious"
Thought this was gonna be the “I met Wale” story with the “Electrical INFETTERANCE”
Idk not true for everyone, how many artists put that money back into their own career or jewelry, etc. and are deadbeat parents / partners.
Also is the album sale really the best way to put money into these artists pockets? If anything the best way to get them money is through straight donations if you are trying to just support them as a person.
Labels get such a large cut most of the time in album sales/merch/touring that it’s not a very efficient use of your money if you are just trying to support the person and not the music.
I dont really get what you’re saying
If mediocre artists under f***ed up contracts don’t have stans then they’ll make a fraction of the money they do now
If anything it’s good that they have stans so they can get some significant payment out of their f***ed up deal

This is the only negative to modern fan accessibility

Yup, this is the biggest problem right now. Artists often lose sight of their own creativity because they feel indebted to give fans what they want, and that fear of disappointing fans who only want to hear music similar to what that artist has already made is hurting the medium

yep yep
deluxes suck
giving fans the options and the ability to alter your output isn't the way
