wouldn& #39;t be surprised if there was an fbi program that either sabotaged and/or just murked anti-capitalist alternative musicians before they made it. will list examples in this thread
there would be a timeline to this. in the 90s, they were still figuring out how to get it done -- hence why attempts to stop kurt cobain and bradley nowell didn& #39;t work -- sublime was successful despite bradley& #39;s own demise.
then, in the 00s, they became more effective at this. many prominent artists never really "made it".
eyedea would be an obvious example. "by the throat" could& #39;ve easily been the breakout album -- and it was a very charged album. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XOa8eaTZuo">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
another example i& #39;d cite would be mischief brew, whose lead frontman passed fairly soon after releasing this is not for children -- one of their first joints with music videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzojuOSIJIY">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
Toh Kay pretty much after leaving Victory -- over some pretty petty disputes with the label that never made sense as they were a pretty major act. This was right after Somewhere In The Between came out -- their first album to chart.
Interestingly, this was also their first major album with a Music Video and singles as well. Tomas pretty clearly has some anti-capitalist views. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-UTPKL-UGY">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
Now, finally, Bender was a major name in battle rap for years -- arguably one of the best ever. While when he passed in 2018 due to drug problems, he was somewhat on his way to a comeback. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EA_eBnxuzfM">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
I mean, with all that has been revealed, why not consider that the reason our generation has a lack of "defining artists" like a Cobain or a Springsteen was because of some CIA op? Is it really that crazy to consider?
i post about like six famous artists and one canadian battle rapper and apparently it& #39;s the bender stans that have found this thread. man was very good at the rapping
