Game Changers - Lupe Fiasco, Estelle, B.o.B & Janelle Monae [VIDEO]


This is a great sit down with four out of the box thinkers in the music industry.

Lupe Fiasco, Estelle, B.o.B & Janelle Monáe discussed what it means to change the music game with Billboard Magazine Editor-In-Chief Danyel Smith. One YouTube comment stated: "Can't hate any of these four artists right here, though. True artistry. It's just sad that Atlantic recognizes that they're indeed game changers and yet tries their best to change and manipulate them."

That's an interesting comment... If they're trying to change them it's only because Atlantic can't get these artists radio airplay or profit more in terms of record sales on a consistent basis despite their success on new media platforms and social media. B.o.B. has generated great success for the songs "Nothing On You" and "Airplanes" over the past year. But other than him; the others have garnered minimal airplay on Top 40 or urban radio. Check out some great comments from Lupe at the 5:00 mark.

We applaud their individuality and their boldness to be different.
