The movie CB4 already gave people the low-down about how the music industry works. People saw the movie as only a comedy, but the movie was telling the truth. Before anyone decides to worship these rappers for being the lowlives they rap about, they need to watch CB4 to get a reminder of how the music industry really is.
Youre basing the whole music industry...on a crappy comedy that came out 15 years ago? Please tell me you are joking.
The FACT is, not EVERY rapper is some fraudulent asshole who wants to get rich off of someone elses fame. If YOU think that, then you must be niave as FUCK. I HATE to brag and NEVER like to bring this up, but i KNOW rap artists that are TRUE to what they say...evne more than you and anyone would like to admit. And yes, they are WORLWIDE known artists.
Rap is the ONLY genre where this so called "acting" exists. Sure, some rock acts have worn make-up and done thratrical style perfomrances (Gwar), but we are talking about a genre of music that appeals to inner cit youth and to an extent, is an EXTENSTION of their surroundings. If you can NOT see why it is somewhat important for a rap artist to 'keep it real", then maybe you have been out of the hood for too long, or have NEVER been there. Either way, it is what it is.
So, you guys can buy this cats albums ALL YOU WANT...i dont give a shit and i also dont gie a shit if you think people DONT support a fake ass artist either...it doesnt affect me. In all honesty, I DONT GIVE A SHIT...Rick Ross is just a TERRIBLE rapper. Period. However, unlike you and some others, I UNDERSTAND why fans of his are turnign their back on him. This aint a movie, this is MUSIC. Do NOT make them synanomous.
