Artistes should show more respect to producers, Why???

Unlike what many people outside the "circle" think, the entertainment industry is a "crazy" place. Those who put in most of the work to make an artiste popular and relevant remain in the shadows, while the artiste who in most cases puts in less than 40% gets all the glory and fame. Especially in a country like ours where vocal dexterity and lyrical content has little or no import in the music scene. Maybe that's why it is called Showbiz, not talentbiz; the business of showing people what they want to see, while hiding what truly goes on.
