The problem is, the people who makes these sacrifices gets a low pay, while the artist gets rich and gain social power.

SZA’s engineer is not gonna reap the fruits off the success of SOS delux, just a small paycheck

this whole music s*** is so backwards man. for example w ye, we've BEEN at the point for close to if not more than a DECADE now where he's so lazy and washed up he doesnt even make his own music anymore. what glory does this nigga deserve exactly except on some past tense s***?

then you get dumb ass niggas goin on about "well ye got the VISION" or "he a director" or "typical prince avi" like shut the f*** up nigga please. how much hand you really have in that vision when it's all made for you? for the most part he doesnt put a finger to a keyboard, doesnt put chords together, doesnt put his pen to paper let alone fingers to a touchscreen, and just employs niggas insane hours to do it all for him or buys songs he likes off the shelf like he at the grocery store. can you even describe this man as a producer let alone a musician anymore? what does he actually bring to the table? beyonce brings vocals, sza brings her lyrics, because lord knows she not singing without autotune and melodyne.

when exactly did it become "elitist" to value when people actually make their own music, write their own bars, not just have their own "vision" but actually bring that to life, whether on some instrument with jazz or classical training or in a DAW making some electronic wizardy even while lacking that musical training? when did music become THIS consumerist where even in hip hop circles where niggas are supposed to care about this, they're defending niggas that do nothing except reap the spoils and get their name on the music like a mf landlord?? im like a broken record with this and not enough people question it.

You also don’t know if the workers at Mac D, gets shares in the local Mac D’s profit, but we have a valid assumption, and we we have the same with SZA and her engineers.

imagine not being outraged that SZA’s own carelessness regarding HER OWN schedule forced this man to work insane shifts to finish HER album by HER unrealistic deadline

SZA should’ve either pushed it back or finalized it sooner

I’ll be honest, in creative spaces this kinda stuff is normal and often times bought into if everyone is enthusiastic and genuine about the vision. I remember doing art direction on a few projects and probably devoting like 18 hours a day to it but because you’re passionate about it you can really feel a burst of energy and lock in if the material is that good. That’s why a lot of artists burn out.

in my current life as a civil engineer lmao, no way on earth would I do this (I still kinda do if it’s a good project)
