“I think the rap community always tells the truth. And I think that it's important that we listen to their voices so we can have a roadmap, because artists - almost every single artist in hip-hop, they paint a picture of society that's overlooked. The misogyny, the racism, the violence, the homophobia, these are things that we try to avoid instead of dealing with. All of that I see it so often.”
![“[Performing artists] are making greater percentages. People are going to live events more and it's a big success story for everyone - except the music industry itself.” quote by Russell Simmons](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/54c/russell-simmons-900_art_performing-artists-are-making-greater-pe_132648.jpg)
