Popular music endures the most stringent censorship and creative control because popular music depends upon the most wealthy networks for distribution. Wealthy networks and record labels aren't in the game for artistic integrity, they're in the game to make bank and prosper. You can't make bank and prosper in a highly competitive environment without being extremely careful with your decisions. Wealthy networks and labels incur censorship to keep their liability in check. Every single thing big media does is to appeal to the largest consumer audience so that they're able to distribute their products over the most valuable networks. These companies have to keep a very keen eye on the content they choose to promote. One lawsuit from a pissed off mom, one slanderous headline on The Huffington Post, or one offended artist speaking poorly of a label in a TV interview is all it takes to deliver a relatively nasty financial blow to these companies.
Cash rules everything around me.
C.R.E.A.M. get the money.
Dolla dolla bill y'all.
