Do Artists Create Original Music Anymore?

What happened to the art of creation or originality? Alot of major artists in the industry these days produce remakes or rob up & coming musicians of their songs. Is anyone writing their own lyrics anymore? Especially for those that have been in the industry for a long time....besides making albums, making guest appearances, touring and photo shoots...what do they do with all their free time? Well we know their not "making" music.

I lose respect for atrist's that use other people's songs. The latest example that left me highly disappointed is Solange's new record "Stillness Is the Move." I was feeling the Dr. Dre/Erykah Badu track....but after seeing the original artist she borrowed the lyrics from , I'm no longer impressed.

Check it out!
