He's typical of today's generation of 'artists', or arse-tits as I prefer to call them - they sell utter shite to vulnerable teenagers who haven't a fucking clue what they're listening to but spend the cash in order to fit in.
Record companies are abusing the peer pressure exerted on kids in our consumer led society.
What they're actually buying is pure crap - cheaply produced dross which is derivative, formulaic and unimaginative.
The good bands are out there, but nobody takes a punt on them when there's easy money to be made exploiting easy targets - ie 12 year olds with their pocket money.

A passionate discourse.
Cant say i totally agree though; for me, Jay-Z is one of the very talented American rap artists, it is not my music of choice but i will not dismiss it as drivel. I would merely divest myself of the oppurtunity to appreciate somebody elses artform.
I may not react to Hip-Hop on an emotional level in the same way as i would listening to Pink Floyd, even so, i can listen and relate to his mode of expression.
That said, i think 50 cent is complete and utter garbage and i would be throwing piss and shit at the cunt if he were to be within range of my throwing arm.
One thing i do have against Jay-Z is his completely shite clothing line that has spawned off other shit clothing lines by black American rappers and in turn embedded itself inside many of the prevalent UK urban scenes.
