In the life of entertainment, getting awards and money seem to be the only thing that is on an artist mind. Having that little one foot statue shows that you, the artist, has proven yourself to everyone and is the greatest. Knowing mostly about hip-hop, I understand how the artist has to change their style to keep up with fans and keep them interested; I do wonder though why now in their new music they have to include detailed description of hurting another person. One topic I know about media and violence is that, the only reason this started was because of hate for another person. B.I.G and Tupac were friends but had a feud going on about him getting shot so since that incident, the two would make a freestyle telling one another to watch their back or something bad will happen. This was during the late 80's and mid 90's and still today it is still happening. Rappers seem like they have to prove themselves to everyone and themselves that they are not scared so they do these ridiculous songs saying what they are going to do, but in the end they are truly ending a career.
This is very true and in today's society these words are words that will help the artist's career or break the artist's career. Being a fan of hip hop and rap music as you listen to the songs and you hear what the artist is thinking it begins to play in your head constantly and you start feeling the emotions that they feel...I think that your blog is very good and you are doing a wonderful job of getting your point across so keep up the good work.
