Back in the day, you could go see an artist perform, and it looks like they've been working. It looks like they've been on their grind. It looks like they've been putting their blood, sweat, and tears into their craft. Nowadays, it's like, even the ones that are talented, you're not really seeing anything. You're not really seeing the passion. You're not really seeing the ambition. Perfect example. Summer Walker

And like you said, I don't know if I know, like what you said. It's artist development and all that kind of stuff, and I don't know if that has been lacking. I feel like when Covid hit and people weren't doing tours anymore because people weren't coming out and stuff like that, I think that's when it really took a big hit. And so now it's like, okay, we're back going on tour. You know what I mean?

So you do mentorship, you need training, you need development. So I agree. And this is the music as well as any artist in any form of entertainment. And

But that's a whole conversation for another day. But I will say to that, that there's a lot of stuff going on in the music industry as well. That's just. I'm going to just come out and say it's just purely satanic, it's purely evil. And our society that we live in is imitated and reflected through the music and through the art in the lot of music about the war, narving gay, what's going on, and sly and the family stone

And this is in many fields, whether it's modeling, music, film, it's a lot more in music, especially in hip hop, because at one point in time, it was believed that hip hop wasn't going to go anywhere. It wasn't going to be anything. And once it was realized that this thing was about to blow up, then the powers that be had. I'm, like dancing around it because I know a little more

And so when he performs, he performs like, as you said, people who were, like, in the things like that or like the early 2000s, he commands the room, he commands the stage, because back then, that is something they took very seriously. So, yeah, I definitely hear you on that. I would love to go see. I've actually seen

There are other rappers who have died because of drugs. I do feel like these young kids are actually doing drugs as well. But maybe you're right. Maybe it wasn't as prominent as it was then. Although again, I feel like this world is only getting crazier. But, yeah, that's a very good point. Yeah, I didn't think about it like that. Thank you

Hey, thank you. I really appreciate it. Yes, it has definitely been a minute, but, yeah, life imitates art. Yeah, I completely agree. And that's one of the reasons why when people say things like, oh, it's just music, you can listen to it. I don't listen to just any type of song. I don't listen to just anything. You know what I mean?

That's what the newer artists say. And then the younger artists say things like, well, no, you guys have it easier, because back in the day, we couldn't really interact like that. We couldn't see how people were really feeling about certain things. Like, we didn't have as many opportunities to put ourselves out there like that
