Who DOESN'T wanna be in the music industy?

While making my last blog, GROUPIES, I made a phone call & it lead me to this blog.

Who DOESN'T wanna be in the music industy?

I decided to write about this for different reasons, but after getting off the phone with that person, I definitely had to make a blog about this one. Why is it that everyone and they mothers mothers wants to be in the music industry all of a sudden? Everyone's a producer, rapper,singer,engineer, a&r, etc. I'm so sick and tired of people with BARELY ANY TALENT getting away with getting a record deal. I remember when it was hard as hell to get into the industry and now it seems as if it's a piece of cake. I remember when music had meaning and worth. Now it's like you can wake up and make a song or wake up and be something. People can sit there and be GARBAGE at their "work" but yet they getting record deals and are blowing up. Are you SERIOUS?! For example, this guy me and the bestie knows claims he "raps". We went to his myspace page and it was GARBAGE. But yet he's tryna get signed. The production was horrible, it was just a hot mess! Now we had two decisions:

1. Tell him he's trash and crush all his hopes and dreams

2. Not tell him anything, just say we listened to it and hope he gets better.

Now I can't be THAT mean and go with option 1, even thought I dead serious wanted to, but I feel like you can give them pointers. I wouldn't tell him he's record label material because in my personal oppinion he isn't good enough. But once again that's my personal opinion. Yes you can say, well maybe your not helping the person by choosing the 2nd option, but at the same time, who am I to tell him he's trash when the people he's working with should tell him. But everyone's worried about the next dollar that they not gonna tell him that. SMH. I hate people like that.

But i'm about to play call of duty.. Finish this blog later! #BIEM!

Groupies, can't live with them, can't live without them..

So i'm not a pink fan, but I love the way it pops out on my black background..

But anyway, so I was sittin in the kitchen making a PB&J when I thought about a very interesting topic.

GROUPIES.

"A groupie is a person who seeks sexual and/or emotional intimacy with a celebrity or other authority figure." (via Wikipedia).

Now, if you know a celebrity or a hood celebrity or anything of the sort, you've seen a groupie or two. Now, I have no problem with groupies, IF you admit that that's what you do. Now, if your a groupie & WON'T admit that your a groupie, then we have a problem. Now I know everyone has fantasised about a celeb or two, that's not a problem. But sleeping with the celeb, his camp plus more is a problem. Going to a show, dressing slutty, NOT SEXY, because you want attention is an issue. Your gonna get attention, but not the good type of attention. Don't use your friends or family to help you get to the celeb, that's definitely not a good look at all. I'm so sick and tired of these groupie girls and guys. YES I SAID IT, Groupie guys. The men who push the girls to see another dude. The dudes who try to sleep with the Beyonce's, Rihanna's, Christina Millian's, etc. Those dudes who sit there & go hard to get that female's attention. GROUPIES.

One of the things about this term that really urks my nerves is that when your a fan of someone's music, your automatically a groupie, stan, crazy. I can LOVE someone's music, but that doesn't mean that i'm a groupie. If that's the case, everyone in this world who loves music is a groupie. SMFH. That's crazy to even think something like that. I don't like that the people who want a certain artist to grow is automatically a groupie. Especially if they met the person and think their nice. I don't understand the human brain sometimes. It kills me even more when the person who calls you a groupie is JUST LIKE YOU. Like HOW DARE YOU, YOU OF ALL PEOPLE, sit there and call ME a groupie?! Like where's ya brain? Have you looked in the mirror and said that "Damn, well if i'm calling this person a groupie, and i'm doing the same thing, then damn I must be a groupie." Nope! You wanna know why? Because people don't think like that. People don't think period. SMFH. But I was just about to get off topic, so lemme get back on it, groupies. I hate them because any bad term that comes with sleeping with a person is usually associated with a woman. We as women shouldn't be disrespected in such a manner, but it's certain females that make it hard for women to break that stereotype. It's annoying when your boyfriend says "Damn babe, stop being such a groupie." SMFH. That' urks my nerves aswell. I just want for the next years to come for us as women to break that cycle of, you can't be a fan of someone's music because if you are, your a GROUPIE.

The Man/Woman in the Mirror

So i've been thinking about a couple of things & how people act. I wonder how long it's gonna be.. Here it goes:

Why is it that peoeple can never see a person's true intentions? They say how you portray yourself is the type of people you attract. I truely believe this. That's why I tend to change up how I look, my personality, my attitude, etc. Why is it the people who sit there and flaunt what they have always wonder "Why can't I get someone who likes me for me?"

Well lets start it off:

1. You don't know who "THE REAL YOU" is.

2. Your flaunting money, aka a golddiggers Batman sign. Boy please!

3. You like the attention flaunting brings, so therefore your not trying to change you.

-Sigh. Some people will never learn. Then there's the people who claim to be one way to everyone, but we all know behind closed doors your really the person you stay talking about. I hate when people sit there and talk about a person and say "Oh I would never be like such & such" but in the same breath, you sittin there doing the same thing? WHERE THEY DO THAT AT?! I don't think I will ever understand the human race. We criticize each other and say that we will never do certain things or say certain things, but when we look back in life, we did exactly what we said we wouldn't.

I hate phony people. Wait, lemme repeat it incase you aint read it correctly the first time. I HATE PHONY PEOPLE. My thing with me is, I have the personality of your gonna like me or your gonna hate me. When it comes to working with others as far as a job or something that's gonna help me, then i'm sweet. But thats a business type of enviornment. When it's friendly, then I go into the REAL me. Now people may say thats "phony" but in the same time everyone does it. Another part of criticzing each other & we do it. But anyway, back to what I was saying, my thing is that if your gonna sit there & not like me, atleast be honest about it. I can honestly say I know someone who told me "I don't like your personality" & to this day I still respect them because they ATLEAST told me. I can't respect anyone who hides it or gives hints. I like people to be upfront with me. That's me. Yes I may get upset, but atleast I KNOW. I hate looking stupid in a situation. For example, there was this girl I used to hang with in my hood. Me & her weren't cool at first, but when I went to my highschool she was there so it was like a "Okay we're from the same hood & go the same way home, lets be friends". So we did that & people used to tell me how they didn't like her & stuff, but were the same people smiling in her face trying to be her friend. Now I told her this & she didn't believe me. Why? Because people want friends so badly that they're willing to block out all the negative stuff that people tell them. But anyway, long story short I heard she didn't like me & then I learned she didn't because of some stupid ass lame nigga. SMFH! It look a LAME nigga for you to show true colors ma? Really? Step ya life up for that one. NEXT!

From this long ass blog, I conclude that people just need to be upfront with each other. We sit there and say how much we're "real" and better than someone, when in reality, we're no better than the next Joe/Jane Schmo.

P.S. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICHAEL JACKSON! YOU WILL BE MISSED!
