We need to stop letting these people dictate this in the era of the internet. Artists can serve their own niche on their own now. It's like asking was Michael Jackson relevant? Prince? Isaac Hayes?

IT's even worse in hip hop. I hate the fact that artists now are practically interchangeable. Labels just shine the light on a new one and we give them our 2 min attention spans.

It's bullshit (sorry for the tangent fellas)

Word!
