Many people love music no matter what type it could be country or classical. They all make people happy or just make them think of a time when things were better. The music they listen to can also make their mood and feelings turn blue but that is neither here nor there. The truth is music should be original. It should be creative it should make you say wow where did that come from. It’s cool that music makes you dance but can you at least make sure it’s an original beat. It does not take much talent to take an Isley Brothers song and remix the beat and make it a hit. News flash it was a hit before you touched it if it’s not after you use it you should not be an artist. The goal is to make the song better not screw it up!

The sad truth is that the music industry sucks and we as a whole help it to go down the tubes. Turn on your favorite radio station and listen to their rotation. Now turn to your second favorite. What do you hear? The same thing is on every station it’s ridiculous. Even with the radio stations they have no identity either. There is no reason for our music to be on a one track course to nowhere. The music started out great R&B, Hip Hop but now it’s just sad if the best music you can come up with is Toot and Boot It. We are in a downward spiral. Even though I must admit it is original and fun I just would not want my daughter or son to look at me and say daddy what is Toot it and Boot it?

I love Atl the city is great and there are some very talented artist there also. I am speaking on a factual basis being that I use to live in the A. I just feel like we are selling ourselves short with the remixes and lack of effort that artist put into their music. Music is supposed to be an art and not just a business. I know it’s how you feed your families and you feel as though since you are selling records you are doing a great job. I would like to pose these questions to all of the artist out there. Can you look at yourself in the mirror and say that you did the best you could or did you just sell out and do what the big records labels wanted you to do? Does your music truly represent you as an artist? If so good for you keep up the good work if not, I would like for you to raise your right or left hand, whichever is your strong hand. Now take that hand and thrust it across your face and wake up and get your act together!
