In this clip, Smokey Robinson spoke about the trappings of the music industry and the ways in which artists have been historically exploited. He and Vlad talked about the changes in the industry, particularly with regard to artist development and the lack of resources labels are putting into artists rather than looking to sign talent who've already established sizable followings.
