As soon as our culture begins believing that current music artists are the pinnacle of social behavior and leaders to our coomunities, we're doomed. I would never, and I do mean NEVER, take advice from fiddycent, Kanye, or any of the Peas. I congratulate those who do work their way into our days, people like the trash talkin rappers, people like eminem, because they beat the system. But I would never admire them for their music, what they say, or how they show themselves. They never grow past a pedantic way of life and act like adults.
Most jazz artists would give up an internal organ to have the money and fame that rappers do, and in the end show more class and dignity than anybody currently on the music scene who is in any way involved with rap, hip-hop or pop music. I suppose that is because they are there for the music, while today's pop stars honestly appear to be there for a few quick millions before their musical stylings are swallowed up and spit out by the giant record companies.
I would just wish that some of these so-called "stars" would come up with some better ideas to write about. Bitches, f*cking, killing and money not only get old to hear about, they lead our youth to believe that it is a fantastic way to live.
I'll be watching this thread. This is something that really gets my blood boiling. Thanks for posting the ideas billege. I'm sure I've delved far too much in one direction and am maybe a bit off course, but I hear ya. I hear ya.
