The UK music scene is one big farce, music execs and big wigs arent even willing to graft to make the UK a success and commercially viable in the UK let alone an artist whos main objective is to get paid for something theyre good at. When you see that the only hope of getting a number 1 is being someone who gets their songs written for them who cant hit a note *que James Blunt* then you'll sell your soul and principles for an advance, because it will get u what u want NOW.
Judging by the releases we've had this year from the Grime scene, although i liked and bought most, the same mentality applies. People sadly arent willing to put in the time to form an organisation unless its going to fund their next clk in a few months.
I long to see the day someone walks into a record company in jeans, a hoodie and hat, flings down their cd and says "this is who i am and this is what i do, take this or leave me as i am". Only then will we see mc orientated music represented and marketted in a serious manner and in its purest form.
