    Music was also better back in the day because just anyone couldn’t be a star. Michael Jackson was the biggest star in the universe and he got very little exposure. Even NWA went gold in about 6 weeks with very little radio play. They were banned from MTV. Whitney wasn’t an enormous star because of marketing. She was that big because she could sing like a goddess. The truth is the worse an artist is the more they need marketing.

    50 likes to play the role of Superthug which at one point in time he was but this guy is intelligent and articulate. You can tell he’s spent time studying and reading to better himself and his business. Curtis Jackson is the man

    It's pretty sad though. Man I remember when C.Ds was florishing. You would go to the mall and see your favorite artist, but not just the popular artist, they had artist that was less popular too. The golden years.

      They will always try to outsmart us but we stay silent 🤫 and wise. You control CD 💿 sales but not streaming. Check how much money is made by the originator or creator of the music 🎶 and check how much the 'industry' pros make. "Own your stuff" - Tyler Perry

    Public exposure marketing. It's like your pushing to sell. Billboards commercials etc.

      I remember this fake artist like JLO, the industry pushing their carries, their music in the radio, but back in the day we don't have options, just the radio or TV..

    It’s called having a strong social media following. You need to prove that your _product_ works. It’s much healthier dynamic after all…
