I don't even have an issue with pop artists presenting themselves as rich, at least they're honest about it, I just have an issue with how the spotlight is given arbitrarily in most cases, and it's an invisible fact to most people. Like I feel there's no point in trying to make anything artistic, because there would be no one out there who will listen because, while I'm by no means destitute, my family simply is not connected, so I don't try. I begin defeated already.
Kiwanuka's You Ain't The Problem is great though, you should listen to Exuma.
I've also noticed that pretty much every popular song that isn't Doja Cat has a lifted hook, lyrics or melody from another song. I understand sampling, but this just seems lazy. Like they can't even pay someone to write them some trite and vapid lyrics, they had to steal the hook from that one The Cardigans song, that as far as the fans are concerned, is awesome and original.
