Musical evolution and the increasing commercialism of music of that type of music happened. Yeah the whole collaborating thing is really a result of the major record labels trying to make a single appeal to both artist's sets of fans, maximising the market for the single and thus maximising profits. I'm looking at our current singles chart right now and the amount of someone's featuring whoever the f**k is ridiculous. It probably wont end until we see a single by Miley Cyrus feat. Gaahl hit number 1.
