It's fucked up, but just to get their names out there. I mean, Dilated Peoples did that shit with Alchemist, then we didn't hear from them for like 3 years. Then all of a sudden, they do a track with Kanye and they are back on the charts. It's a monopoly on the industry, but sometimes artists just need to bite the bullet or shut the hell up. Pointing out the kink in the industry isn't gonna make it change. You need to have some clout, and unfortunately, the west doesn't have a whole lot, which sucks ass.
