The Music Industry is Fading to a Complete
Corporation Thing (This is an Opinion)

The music industry is coming to an end. Artists are no longer mc's instead everybody wants to become a rapper. There are a lack of female artists. Are the fans still down for the ladies?
On a fan base, a generation of people are being fed & taught HipHop by corporations who have a very different agenda from what HipHop started off to be.
Every song revolve around a hot beat and chorus. Nobody cares about lyrics anymore. Jay-Z proves this in Empire State of Mind verse 3. Most New Yorkers have a problem with this verse. Jay-Z said "Jesus can't save you, life starts when church ends."
Review verse 3 of Empire State of Mind:
lights is blinding, girls need blinders
so they can step out of bounds quick, the sidelines is
lined with casualties, who sip to life casually
then gradually become worse, don't bite the apple eve
Caught up in the in-crowd, now you're in style
Anna Wintour gets cold, in Vogue with your skin out
City of sin, it's a pity on the wind
Good girls gone bad, the city's filled with them
Mami took a bus trip, now she got her bust out
Everybody ride her, just like a bus route
Hail Mary to the city, you're a virgin
And Jesus can't save you, life starts when the church end
Came here for school, graduated to the high life
Ball players, rap stars, addicted to the limelight
MDMA got you feelin' like a champion
The city never sleeps, better slip you an Ambien
Kanye West song "Power" is hot, but the video makes no sense. The song without the video is four minutes and fifty three seconds. The "Power" video is one minute and forty three seconds. Is it true to say that the "Power" video without the lyrics by Kanye West goes with Jay-Z verse 3 from Empire State of Mind? See for yourself:
Nobody is really trying to hear a female artist unless she looks good & sexy like Nicki Minaj; or she trying to challenge people in the industry like 50 Cent in "How to Rob." It seems like the bottom line is if a female trying to get into this industry, the corporation that's introducing her wants to know how much they can make off of her.
