If it ain't broke don't fix it is the motto at the labels.
Jeezy can make 4 albums of the same sore-throat ramblings and people love it because he gives them the same thing every time but with no growth.
Nas went from Nasty Nas to Nas Escobar to Nas Scott-Heron to Nas Marley and the people love it because they appreciate artistic growth, reinvention, and fresh material.
A True artist can go in any direction musically with label support if they have a loyal and mature fan base but I lesser talented artist can't stray too far away from their formula because they risk losing their fair-weather fans.
JayZ makes the music he wants, 50-Cent makes the music he is told to, it's just the nature of the business.
