I believe it has to do with era, in those days the message a music passes matters to people but now not so much. I have seen artist who were on the right path with their music but suddenly changed their path because they weren't getting the attention they deserve with their good songs, we all know how it feels to make something of quality and yet people refuse to appreciate it. I have always judged them but eventually I realised everyone is just trying to put food on their table in which ever way they can. Times have changed we are now in an era where abnormalities have been normalised.
