This is why I stick to trance.

There are definitely talented hip-hop artists out there, just not quite active(or popular) in the mainstream scene. I'm pretty sure the people are hungry for quality music but they never quite reach the masses. Why? Major record label are quite skeptical to invest and somewhat gamble with a "lyrically conscious" artist when they can just push another "snap yo fangas!1!" artist out to MTV that is guaranteed to bring in millions. :/

That's true. *Sigh* What on earth happened to the music industry?! When I see singers performing live, they can't even sing. It doesn't even sound like them. Which reminds me of Flo Rida or whatever the hell his name is. He was mumbling the entire time, LOL.
