The hip hop industry is not ran by individuals who care about the culture. They are only involved in this genre of music to make money off of it in a greedy manner which benefits themself at the misfortune of the artist. Label Owners care nothing about your talent, passion, or creative abilities. They only care about whether or not you can sell millions of records.
Sad to say a lot of upcoming artists get taken adavantage of due to this. Most hip hop artists come from humbled beginnings which means they are looking at the industry as their only way out. When the door of opportunity comes with shackles most artists take this opportunity even thouhh it'll never live up to what their heart desired. This type of situation has led to the downfall of content in hip hop music.
Instead of artists showing a growth in the craft they are forced contractually and economically to do the music we here today that's popular on the radio.
I write this to say as hip hop enthusiasts and listeners we are able to impact this industry machine by not buying into it. As consumers if we don't purchase the music they're giving us then we control the situation, because they will be in a position to produce what we want for our dollar. Educate others of the power that we have as consumers and then we will show we truly care about where hip hop goes from here.

You have a good point but you cant say there are no mainstream radio songs that you don't like. I agree that the way the industry is ran isnt the greatest but we cant let that ruin what we think is good music and not.
