The Great J’can Popular Music Con

It is a con which consists of, among other elements, focusing on conflict, controversy and confrontation instead of content. Ultimately, this results in an unsustainable burst of publicity for some persons who are supposedly artistes, but who are really con artistes yearning for the slightest public attention by any means. That could be the result of deep-seated low self-esteem, the rinsing of money where a 'producer' claims returns from music that are really from crime, doing it just for the hell of it or just enjoying manipulating public interest for a couple minutes.

Whatever the cause the result is the same - depleting the strength of this cultural product which we stumbled upon and which has global reach and pull.
