Related Artist's and Its Judgmental Views

Music has evolved into a competitive outlook in todays society. I personally have looked into the depth of what the audience has to say about certain individuals who would not try to look like a previous artist but would actually portray the image of one who use to perform. But the question that people like myself what to know is, are they actually trying to by someone that the older generation use to listen to 20 or 30 years ago.

Why does the image of an artist always have to relate back to what a previous artist either looked like or how they moved on the dance floor? Examples of these frequently asked questions for people whom are portrayed to be representing someone who use to perform are, Chris Brown acting as if he was the new and improved Michael  Jackson. Another individual that I personally feel is trying to do this is, Miguel a R&B artist that has recently become very popular. Someone people would say that he is a resemblance of Prince the pop artist who those that may not know sang Purple Rain. Now, someone people may look at this blog and say that I am completely wrong, and that I am not making any sense. But if people look at it, watch how Miguel now wears his hair, and how Chris Brown dances a certain way that would imitate MJ.

People are judging every chance they get. There are is an understanding that the average civilian, citizen or whom ever is quick to judge because they are either wanting to do what someone is already doing, or do it better. I looked up a couple interviews on youtube that explains why people judge artist without even getting to know the background of what they went through to get them to where they are at now. I personally took the time to sit back and ask myself why do I judge the media world. I feel like its based off of having or wanting something that you cannot have. People now days want something that they cannot have.  So they judge of what they see through illustration or video performances or television interviews. Here is an interview by Sammi Lane, an individual who explains why they do.

Artists Beef and Producer Involvement

There has been rumors going around that indicated that, Meek Mill who is signed with MAYBACH music, is having conflicting gestures and also being pressed by Cassidy who many may know was a popular rapper in the years 2000-2006. This media frenzy I personally feel  can be a positive one for the rapper known as Cassidy. Reason being, people who have not heard from Cassidy are eager to hear what he will come out and say, or how he will react towards this beef.


According to Cassidy, that he recently did on a radio station, he mentions that the beef between him and Meek Mill is something that he feels is not pointed to a physical beef. In other words he feels that this beef that hey have for one another is something in confusion. One minute he sees him at the 2k party in Philly, and everything is ok, then the next minute he hears words thrown back at him. Cassidy explains, that the twitter beef between him and Meek Mill, would be a known approachable thing if this was a year ago. Reason being he feels that, at that time if this was to occur, there would be know meaning because he had not reached that level of respect in the media industry. Now that Meek Mill is signed to a major record label, Cassidy now has a reason to respond back to what Meek Mill said on twitter.


There are producers in the media industry that have brought understanding and clarity to the civilians that may take one thing and turn it around and make it seem something else. There was an interview that was done about 2 years ago that informed certain people in the music world why certain things could not be said or sold. For example according to Jay-Z Top Producer Young Guru Breaks Down How Music Artist Enslave Themselves, by not sticking to what they say or how they say it. Producers are now getting more involved with the value of a word than what may just be said.

Knowing that certain artist and producers have come to terms with how people are able to feed of off "beef," it tends to spark an interest in the media industry. I have realized that this can become a powerful way of sparking others to stay in tuned.
