As I am sure most of you are aware, lately there has been a growing trend of artist being signed or "blowing up" all because of ONE song or humorous video posted on a mass media site (YouTube , Worldstarhiphop, etc..) It seems as though as long as an artist has some sort of gimmick, the industry will embrace them with open arms because it is seen as a marketable or profitable opportunity. I honestly think it is sad. It is sad because it takes the spotlight away from the thousands of artist out there with so much unseen talent. As I shake my head and write this blog entry, I can not seem to find a reason why we as a people are attracted to such "artist" even though we know they are terrible. It is as if their gimmicky add libs, catch phrases, outrageous outfits, or bizarre private life's are enough to make us jump at any opportunity to get a glimpse into their mind. Well whatever it is, is causing many "rappers" and "singers" to shine in the spotlight, while those with talent are left in the dark...
