Issa Rae Calls Music Business ‘the Worst Industry I Have Come Across,’ Riddled With ‘Crooks and Criminals’

, and is producing a new show about aspiring rappers, using her existing career to help launch music ones. But rather than come off as thrilled about branching out into another industry, Rae is making it sound like she’s entered a den of vipers.

“I thought Hollywood was crazy,” Rae continued. “The music industry, it has to start all over again. There are lots of conflicts of interest. Archaic mentalities. Villains and criminals! It’s an addiction industry, and I really feel for artists who need to get into it. … It was something shocking” to discover, she said.

Rae also knocked the Grammys in the interview, and singled out one record in particular she thought had been unfairly snubbed. “What really bums me out — and this aligns with Hollywood — is the way that music is rewarded. When I think about the Grammys and these other systems that are designed to reward artistic creativity and uplift artists, I just feel like, ‘Y’all don’t get it.

Yes, music is not the same. Especially R&B.

That’s so cool.💫

Independent artists my ass.

I watched her used an idea of what she think I am over a photo she never got.. Done
