Me and my mother was just having this conversation the other day because of an old song being played on the radio. I asked her ma is music different now from how it was when you were growing up? She looked & started laughing instantly & said of course. She said you all music today isnt real. She said music back then had a meaning behind it & sent a message now ALOT of new artist are just making it by because you all young people this generation just listen to anything lol. After the conversation i sat back & realized she was absoulety right! New artist are making it in the buisness today because they are using the internet. Upcoming artist market themselves by youtube, mix tapes, concerts. Some of the new upcoming artist such as dej loaf,young moose and lor scoota are independent. Young Moose isnt a good look for children & for the music industry he just came home from jail from being arrested for violence in his videos such as guns, drugs, illegal money & disruptive lyrics. But yet the music industry still lets him put out this music. Many people discover some of these upcoming artist from other peers, one person might hear & they tell another or itunes is a way for them to market themselves to be heard. To me these new marketing plans are destroying radio because our generation is already violent & corrupt and for US to hear & see it influences us & makes us its ok because even if the artist has a consequence they still continue to talk about the same things. Far as CD buying i think it hurts stores because people use so many different ways to download the music illegally then stores dont make money because we got it on our phones.
