they should be suffering and hating themselves and everyone. I won't stand for this!!!!

Yeah Emerson, Lake & Palmer are pretty good.

popularity happened

same happened to death grips, grimes, basically every underground artist who had made a big fanbase, even things you described at the end of the post are similar in some way

It's called selling out. Every artist lives for the day they can cash in their marketability for money. You don't spend a lifetime sacrificing time and energy without expecting a financial return. Grow the fuck up and be happy people with talent are allowed to make good music and content for money.

sold out

I don't think DG has changed their public demeanor much

the pitchfork hip hop revolution happened and they had an opportunity to make a shit ton of money/fame off 15 year old white kids in return for offering p4k some level of legitimacy in commenting on hip hop. good for them. killer mike was always shit, and el-p was on the decline anyway. his earlier discography isn't going anywhere, he may as well get some compensation after almost two decades in the business

OP wasn't talking about demeanour though
they were partnering with adult swim, their songs appeared in battlefield hardline, commercial of Adidas, some other things I don't remember
