My only problem is I hate when underground artist grow to the point where
things become oversaturated. They start putting out too much material or their direction changes


We saw it with The Weeknd. He had already had a lot of underground music out, and a nice cult following. However when his act went mainstream his entire sound changed. He still put out some good songs, but the sound was more commercial. It’s just not the same Weeknd.

I just don’t want to see his art get diluted...where he is putting out too much music.

Sade, Prince, Badu, etc. As big as those artists were and are, they still keep/kept this cult following with their music and didn’t and don’t oversell themselves or their music....same thing with Bilal.
