Because “Killing in the Name Of” is still relevant.
Big popular artist are probably pretty controlled in what the money lets them do. More independent artist are making the songs.
Big artists are performing clowns for monopoly capitalists.
This. Especially these morons rapping about “the Man keeping them down” when they’re literally working FOR “the man” and they’re covered in gold bling. Congratulations. You just made a bunch of rich, white record executives even richer, while doing NOTHING for the people you claim to care about.
Macklemore has a couple.
Big artists benefit too much from the system. People seem to give passes to the rich they like, but they’re all our enemies. No amount of good they could possibly do would offset the support and participation they provide to this machine of destruction.
They are signed with labels and are not allowed.
Lowkey and Macklemore have stepped up though
I’m assuming you’re talking about the US leadership? Eminem has been putting out music critical of every (2) Republican president since getting big.
Record companies are just big corporate conflomerates, who dont want to make waves, and they control the artists’ output.
Any Resistance Music is going to come from truly independent artists, and we should do everything we can to promote them.
There are, maybe look for different genres
This. Was going to mention.
I’ve heard of one big protest song by a pretty mainstream artist which didn’t autofill on youtube when I just searched for it and was apparently buried. I wonder how many other songs were buried.
because they’re rich and don’t want to alienate any portion of people that make them more rich? Also they aren’t even slightly inconvenienced by the changes in policy.
Artists reciprocating the feelings of the people is a thing of the past.
This depends on how you discover music. Usually radio or top lists don’t cover major political issues since it makes half their audience angry. Also it can take a bit to get a song written, recorded, mixed, mastered and released in most cases.
Im into metal and there are some artists that release amazing protest songs
Fox lake
- savior
Fit for an autopsy
- flat lining
- no man is without fear
Thy art is murder
- holy war
- make America hate again
Acrania
- dissolution in a discordant system
Pretty sure Eminem did like 8 years ago, the first time.
