    Big popular artist are probably pretty controlled in what the money lets them do. More independent artist are making the songs.

      This. Especially these morons rapping about “the Man keeping them down” when they’re literally working FOR “the man” and they’re covered in gold bling. Congratulations. You just made a bunch of rich, white record executives even richer, while doing NOTHING for the people you claim to care about.

    Big artists benefit too much from the system. People seem to give passes to the rich they like, but they’re all our enemies. No amount of good they could possibly do would offset the support and participation they provide to this machine of destruction.

    They are not on your side. That’s why punk and hardcore is a thing and “pop” is garbage

    I’m assuming you’re talking about the US leadership? Eminem has been putting out music critical of every (2) Republican president since getting big.

    Record companies are just big corporate conflomerates, who dont want to make waves, and they control the artists’ output.

    Any Resistance Music is going to come from truly independent artists, and we should do everything we can to promote them.

    There were a lot of protest songs about Iraq and then it just seemed to fizzle out
