I am going to start off
with the Weekend. The author of the article describes The Weekend’s music to be
unreal, skeezy, and pretty much not good at all. Personally, I never really liked The Weekend
or got into his music much. He just
sounds like he’s whining all the time to me.
But I’m pretty sure I am one of the only people who feel this way,
because everyone I know loves him. I wouldn’t
describe his songs as unreal or not good, he is just an artist I haven’t really
gotten into, because I don’t care for his music.
The
next artist is Drake. The author
describes him as an r&b artist who should pretty much go back to where he
came from in Canada. He compares him to
the work Kanye West did in his album in 808’s and Heartbreaks, which was not a
good album at all in my opinion. Kanye
is definitely not a singer. I wouldn’t call
Drake an r&b artist, because he still does rap. I think he is just a little confused
truthfully. He singing isn’t really
good, but at the same time it isn’t bad.
Drake is just in touch with his emotions. He doesn’t rap and about selling drugs and
killing people, like some artists, because he hasn’t gone through that. He raps about what he knows, which is one of
the many reasons I respect him as an artist.
Lastly, we have Rick Ross. The author of these articles loves Rick Ross
and thinks he’s an authentic. I feel the
exact opposite about him. Why does Rick
Ross think he became rich off cocaine? He was a correctional officer. He acts like something he isn’t to me. Don’t get me wrong, I like Rick Ross, mainly
because of that noise he makes, but he seems fake to me. I feel like he wants to make everybody think
all this stuff about him, but I just don’t feel like legit.
I don’t think artists have to be authentic or real in
today’s music. All you need is a good
beat, a cool voice, and a couple good adlibs and people will love you. If you listen to the words of a lot of songs
they don’t make any type of sense, well not to me at least.
