OK, so they wouldn't first get far, but people like Jay Z don't really have to dumb down their lyrics or sing about sexist stuff...do you think people would buy their music regardless?

It makes me so annoyed how talented artists such as Jay-Z, have to dumb down their music to sell.. It doesn't even make sense to me! I was thinking about the same question, what does this say about society? Are "we" not able to accept change in music?
