Artists and Polotics.. do they go?

What they have to understand is that once they become respected artists they have to have a certain level of professionalism. A certain artist who helped UK breakthrough in the hip hop scene, made an embarrassing political statement on live news. What they need to understand is that people look up to them and they need to need to maintain their standards. Check out the video below:


Now what i didn’t understand was that if Dizzee Rascal didn’t know much about the political view then why did he do the interview and embarrass himself.

Embarrsing UK artists

My opinion is that UK artists are getting negative media and views because of what their videos consist of. They try to imitate what American artists do, but they do a very bad imitation. All the videos consist of is violence, guns, crime, alcohol and girls. The American hip hop artists videos consist of the similar things, but the difference is they pay allot for high budget quality videos, where as the U.K artists produce low budget cheesy videos.

If you look at this link, it is a video of N-dubz, a UK hip hop group, and you will understand what I mean by low budget videos compared to American artists.
Whereas you have some people who make high budget unique videos
Check out the video below people, it’s ‘Roll deep – shake a leg’

Where Have the Poets Gone?

Focusing on 1 of the most known and respected Poets of our time had to be 'Tupac Shakur'. He rapped his life, he rapped his emotions, he rapped about situations that people are dealing with still to this day. But what separated 'Tupac' was his unique rapping style. Compared to artists such as Notorious B.I.G, 'Tupac' was poetic where as B.I.G just rhymed and made no sense, which is just like most artists of today.



The only poetic artist that has been recognised and been respected for is ‘Marshall Mathers’ also known as ‘Eminem’. He has been the only artist compared to ‘Tupac’s’ level. 50Cent was considered to be the next ‘Tupac’, because of the pain in his music, but that pain died out in his music when he started to become more commercialised and focused on other business ventures.
