where they’re churning out their very own “get money quick” artists on an assembly line, and as a result, the record labels make money from their customers buying their product and they make money as a result of their customers dying from their product (dying meaning destroying their entire lives by chasing the “get rich quick, by any mean necessary” lifestyle that they constantly hear about and thus spending massive chunks of their lives in the prison system). The kids are not to blame though.
This is why we should probably all be grateful for this new age technological era we now live in because we can now, not only gain access to great music and great artistry without being forced to listen to the pre-programmed mainstream radio if we don’t want to, but we can also spread information about what’s really happening within our culture and the mainstream music industry of today. By doing so, hopefully we’ll be able to bring back REAL music again.
Flip the page to see what some of today’s music is representing…no disrespect to these new cats, but it’s a far stretch from a Stevie Wonder record or a Curtis Mayfield message, that’s for sure…
Amazing that they make money off the great singers in prison……….they should get paid if they are signed with a label and their song is recorded……best, ellen

Ellen, I don’t believe the article says that at all. The article explains that record companies are silent investors with prisons. The record companies are the producers of Rap music that promote the thug life our young men get involved with. These men try to do the ‘thug’ thing and wind up in jail, from trying to live that life that’s promoted on these records they produce. There are no ‘great singers’ in prison.
