Why not? If we as artists find like-minded businesses that can fuel that which label and fan support is not able to, why not endorse such a business? My group has been independent for nearly 10 years now and over that time we’ve refined our technique and we’ve seen how the industry has changed. There was a day when artists weren’t able to use networking tools like the internet and had to go into pricey studios to create product with a quality deemed “industry standard.” There was a day when an artist had to get out in the world – touring constantly and collecting mailing lists at every stop. There was a work-ethic that evolved during that era that just isn’t there today. The record labels always have been the entity making the real money as far as album sales go… and these days everyone pirates music anyway. However, if you let music be what it was always intended to be, the artists – whether they like it or not – are creating their culture. With culture comes fashion… kind of the sex, drugs, and rock n roll idea – that every social movement has various factors in place that someone, contrived or not, has profited from. It is our duty as ambassadors of said social movement to take control of our environment. What does Corona have to do with Hip Hop? Whatever Shwayze says it does. We as artists can chose what direction this whole thing goes. Personally, Projekt Lotus has worked for years with mostly local businesses that we feel would represent our message and ideals. This is a symbiotic relationship – where we have certain expenses covered and in turn, promote said businesses on while we’re on tour or include them in our productions.
