Occasionally, when i am confused about why something is the way it is or feel the need to vent about something i will post a few questions and let you do the math.Today's Think about it focuses on "Hip-Hop"
1. How come fans will pay a up to $200 to see an artist perform but wont pay $10-$15 dollars for the artists album?
2. Why are Hip Hop consumers more concerned with album sales than how good an album actually is?
3. Why is it that artists have to pay Dj's to play HIT RECORDS? (Case in point: Shawty Lo's "Dey Know"
4. How come when a rapper says something it is considered vulgar but those same words can be said through a non Hip-Hop format and be considered okay? (case in point: Lil Wayne's "A Milli" they censor "coppers', "venereal disease" etc.)
5. Why do labels allow artists to drop albums after ONE hit song? When was the last time as a consumer you decided to buy a new artists album after hearing ONE song? That's like only seeing ONE room and deciding to purchase a whole house!!! Could this be contributing to low album sales? Hmmmmmm.....Just my Thoughts
