hey all, I just wanted to comment on the music industry. It's driving me insane.
Now these days it is about $, thinking bout it now was it always like that?

You have got labels hyping up this and that saying they r talented songwriters as well as artists but if you look at the "lyrics' they really isn't any substance. It's all bout dancers and stage shows: imk not sayin that visuals are not important and that they cannot contribute to the preformance, but these days it is all just 4 show.....damn. I wrote a "rap" song bout this a looooong time ago, it was a time when i tried to write like everyone else. sad man 4 real.

vent here!

Yes, it always was like that. The difference is the artist development is nearly nil, and the payolla is through the roof.

Yeah whatever you do don't shug out the $$$ cause i've seen one group get into a financial mess.

"Music Business" is a contradiction in terms. Music is something that's in the moment -- something that's enjoyed right now, and then its gone. Songs are written out of passion and a desire to relate a story.

When you force it to try and make it a commodity, you kill it instantly.

There maybe people in the industry who can "write hits" - but I guarantee you they're getting their rocks off first and foremost.

Dig?
