    In regards to the music industry- can someone give me some input
    why do so many artists lose thier original "personality" and become all wierd
    is it the $, the fame or maybe some controlled group- lol
    Look at that difference between 2007 nicki (unsigned)
    and 2012 nicki- what the fuck happened
    She went from being a sort of talented chick from the hood, she had the lingo and all that down

    cmon like why would a guy who spent his whole life "gangbanging", a BLOOD, one day decide to wear UGGS?!?!?!?- then go write a song like how to love?!?!?!?!
    maybe i don't understand the power of wealth- but i know if i get rich, i'd buy alot of things, but FURRY UGGS would not be in my inventory
    but it doesnt seem rational to me

    lol im blazed but i would like someone to pick up on this- for real:D

    much love
     
  2. People do what they can to get in the spotlight...then they do what they can to stay in the spotlight. I am sure some conspiracy junkies will show up at some point, but to be honest artists are generally weird to begin with.
     
  3. thats the celebrity game, its stupid shit.
     
  4. Let me try my input on this: When you sign onto an major label, they want you to sell records so they have an strategy or formula already planned out on how the artist can sell records and bring them money.

    Bubblegum Pop Beats is one of the key since its mostly played from radio station that play Top 20, etc lists from Billboard. If people like your song, they're mostly likely to replay over and over. Radio helps promote the record, from promotion is the purchasing of the artist's single/album; the more it's brought and liked, the more it will up the charts. Also Rappers featuring onto Pop Songs tend to put them into the spotlight and boost their popularity.

    Image: As you know the U.S. is very superficial and bounded on celebrity culture so the record label will want them to morph into an signature image with things "regular people" can relate too like designer clothes that most celebrities buy. This seems questioning but a lot of people tend to follow what their artist does.

    Lyrics/Clubs: Lyrics surrounded by partying, drinking, fucking, money, cars tend to be what most young people care about (not an generalize but you get what I mean) and Clubs tend to play those songs that have those lyrics supported by the Pop Beats. If the DJ likes your song, he will also endorse and promote.
     
  5. I'm no conspiracy theorist, but it's all pretty dark IMHO. I think it's a result of a very greedy person. It's just too bad that the younger crowd of this generation really does idolize these people.

    They mostly sell shit, but they promote sex, money, and fame.. That's a pretty shitty message if you ask me.
     
  6. ROFL at Dwayne Carter "gangbanging." That pussy went to a private school. Wanna know why he has that tear tattoo? When he was a kid he shot himself on accident and felt that was apparently equivalent to murdering someone LOL.
