I observe the game, I& #39;m not interested in fame! And from what I see, hip hop is the modern day minstrel show mostly because we have uninformed citizens entering the game just in pursuit of the lights.

Minstrel shows lampooned black people as dim witted, lazy, and all round homogeneous in buffoonery...

Artist entering the game need to first and foremost learn the game, understand how to make it work for themselves, so when "they" force you to do stupid shit and record silly shit you understand your part and not accept an offer just so you can say you are signed.
