Kayne West and 50 Cent have albums out did you hear?
i can't seem to escape the Media and Music industry push to let you know that two of the most overhyped and Overrated Musical acts of today Kayne West and 50 Cent each released albums on tuesday and they hype been going strong for weeks. both were on the cover of rolling stone together both were on 106 and park together on BET, both were on the recent MTV video music awards together. i can't stand neither one because Musically I don't feel them worth the hype they get. where do I start? Kayne West is a Marginal Artist in his right. Production is what gets him over. he ain't much of a rapper or a lyricist but he has catchy Pop culture references and knows how to chop a beat here and there and run with. he is like the up dated version of Puffy which tells you why he is getting over?
Curtis 50 cent Jackson has a raw street vibe but he raps so slow and he got alot of his skills off of Mase who was a Protege of Puffy. you notice a theme here? cats with Mariginal talent who have big Music label backing and the industry is so desperate for a huge hit that they will spent all kinds of money behind these two. now they each have 3 albums out and have been very successful,but there talent level hasn't gotten better but there ego has. Kayne has a joint label that includes Rapper Veteren Common and Singer Songwriter John Legend. but Kayne is tghe star of his own mind and inner circle.
50 Cent has has own logo lbel G Unit after he got signed under Eminem and Dr.Dre. 50 got into the water business and sold out his business to Coke a cola for quite a chunk. he has shoes, books been in movies,etc....
the marketing of Hip-Hop speaks more volumes than the actual creative Product we get as the "IN" thing to have. i think if we got the best of these two together then we might get a good set but two seperate albums shows ego out of control and so much filler there is a reason why down-loading is more consistant than the hype we are subjected to.
i wonder if there will be another showdown or two in the future between these two? i can wait. i apllaud the bread they have made and what they have accomnplished and I respect the Hustle,but Musically speaking they know they ain't worth half the Hype.
