Music and Business......

ITS FUNNY HOW THINGS WORK HAND IN HAND ESPECIALLY IN MUSIC....WHO WOULD HAVE EVER THOUGH THAT MUSIC AND BUSINESS WOULD GO WITH EACH OTHER....NOW DAYS WHICH WORD IS STRONGER MUSIC ? OR BUSINESS??IN ALL HONESTY MUSIC WISE I WAS RAISED ON 2 PEOPLE: CHAKA KAHN AND MIKE JACKSON. IM NOT THE MUSIC HEAD LIKE I SHOULD OR SUPPOSE TO BE LIKE MOST OF THESE GUYS HERE AT THE LABLE BUT I WASNT RAISED ON THE AL GREENS, TEDDY P. ETC ETC LIKE MOST BUT I DO KNOW GOOD MUSIC. SO LETS LOOK AT MUSIC....MUSIC IS THE HEART AND SOUL OF WHAT WE HEAR ALL THE TIME...REGARDLESS OF THE LYRICAL CONTENT WHAT YOU HEARING IS MUSIC OF SOME KIND. A LOT OF PEOPLE WOULD SAY THAT MUSIC ISNT WHAT IT USE TO BE AND THAT IT HAS FELL OFF. SO MUSIC HAS CHANGED OVER THE YEARS AND CONTINUALLY CHANGING ON A DAILY BASIS....MUSIC CAN LAST FOR A PERIOD OF TIME...NOW DAYS THE RAP/HIP HOP /R & B MUSIC DOESNT LAST LONG AS FAR AS THE "HIT" SONGS THAT ARE PROMOTED HEAVILY AND SONGS COME IN AND OUT REAL FAST BUT ON THE FLIP SIDE COUNTRY "HIT" RECORDS STAY IN PROMOTION A LONG TIME AND CREATES A DIFFERENT AVENUE THAN A LOT OF OTHER GENRES...SO WHY IS THIS? ARE WE AS THE "URBAN" CULTURE NOT SUPPORTING ALL THE MUSIC AS A WHOLE?...NOW TO BUSINESS- NOW DAYS A LOT OF THE MUSIC YOU HEARING IS PUT IN PLACE BY A LOT OF BUSINESS AND MONEY THAS BEING PUT OUT BY RECORD LABELS...WITH SOME ARTIST HAVING MORE OF A BUDGET THAT OTHERS BUT REGARDLESS A LOT OF IT IS BUSINESS AND POLITICS. THE THING IS... ITS 2008 AND IN ALL HONESTY TALENT HASNT ALWAYS SHOWN ITS HEAD TOO MUCH NOW A DAYS ESPECIALLY THE NEWER TALENT THAT IS OUT AND GETTING HEAVILY FUNDED. SO WHAT IS MAKING THE NEW TALENTS POPULAR?..ITS THE BUSINESS THAT FOLLOWS IT STRONG BECAUSE YOU HAVE MORE ARTIST THAT HAVE BEEN IN THE GAME FOR YEARS AND THEY JUS NOW GETTING TV SHOWS ..INTO MAJOR FILMS..CLOTHING LINES ETC ETC BUT NOW YOU HAVE NEW ARTIST THAT ARE COMING IN AND GETTING FUNDED FOR THINGS LIKE THAT BECAUSE ITS WRAPPED UP IN THERE DEAL AND THEY HAD THAT BUSINESS KNOWLEDGE TO KNOW THAT MUSIC WILL BE A SPRING BOARD TO DO OTHER THINGS THAT THEY BEEN WANTING TO DO.SO MUSIC AND BUSINESS WORKS HAND IN HAND BUT AS WE SEEING NOW IN THE INDUSTRY THE BSUINESS IS TAKING OVER THE TALENT SCENE FOR THE NEW GENERATION AND I JUS ENCOURAGE ALL ARTIST AND IF YOU KNW ANY ARTIST TELL THEM AND LET THEM BE KNOWLEDGABLE TO THIS.90% BUSINESS AND 10% TALENT......THINGS HAVE CHANGED
