I'm just opposed to the rise of the manufactured pop star who relies more on image than talent because they have to need music producers to provide them with their compositions, which as discussed usually comes in the form of sampling. If they all had the talent of Portishead & Dr Dre it wouldn't be a problem, but unfortunately people who go in to be pop stars are often more concerned with money and fame than making good music.
You know, i once made a Rockstar game thread here where i asked ppl if they rathered be a respected musician with local cred but aren't famous OR a famous musician who sold out his artistic cred for money.

And you know what the majority chose? To sell out and be rich.

Ideally artistic integrity should come 1st but realistically it comes 2nd to getting paid.
