you probably don't have a good concept of it, as it is the american way, so i will forgive you. |
You are basing this on the assumption that he is not enjoying what he's doing, just because you don't like it. Get out of your own head. Sometimes people have broad tastes, like maybe he didn't want to write the same track for 20 years? I like swedish math metal, I also like the gayest house music imaginable. Very different ends of the spectrum. It's not selling out if you want to do more than one thing. And for all you know he's keeping it real under a different name (which you've never heard cause no one cares). The name is whats slapped on this product, i wouldnt be surprised if he had nothing to do with the production at all and just got paid to show up and douche out on video. Really the whole artistic integrity thing... are you in high school? Talk to me about not understanding how things work, what an ass. And just cause I live in america too. I'd love to see how your idea of artistic integrity holds up in the face of raising a child, or any of the other very real things that cost very real money. Trust me just cause I live in america doesn't mean I don't have a grasp of the natural world. My dream job would be to bang chicks all day but they aren't handing out those types of gigs.
Of course he might've just wanted a new car
Another thing... artists only have so much steam. Like a person only has so much to say. Are you implying he hasn't paid his dues? You want the same prog track over and over again forever? I agree the song is bullshit but everyone has to do something awful for money unless you are extremely lucky. And it's never the responsibility of the artist to appease their fans, ever.
