IS THIS "MUSIC OR TALK SHOW"?

[DJ REY]

in the HMI nowadays specially in a live setting the public has been exposed for what I call a Talk Show instead of Music Show.
Even some of our most talented artists has been trapped focusing or wasting their time trashing other bands or fellow artist just to get attention instead of working on their skills by providing good music to the public.
The Carnival is a perfect example of our low our musician would go to be on a spotlight. This disease is spreading so fast that is becoming a cancer and band members missing the art of creating a symphony are spending more time and energy creating Cacophonyand calling one another by some stupid names. Some are called: Gorilla, Ti lepe, Drug user, others even go as far as cursing out family members. Are we paying for a music or a talk show?

My hope is the next bal I attend or the next album I purchase the artist will get rid of some of the unnessary comment and let the music do the talk .

This is just an observation.

During Kanaval, that's okay...they can do that without the family attacks. but during a ball, it's ridiculous.

But hey, this is the HMI where everything goes.

DJ Rey, Welcome to KM brother.
I hate to say this but we like all of the above. I can’t blame the musicians because we allow them to do that; in fact we make them to that. A musician goes as far as the market; we demand it and they supply. Is it right? I don’t know. Is it wrong? No. This is the jeopardy we are playing in all aspect of the music. Human being love controversial phase; even we are not dealing with music. Furthermore, “The Talk Show� happens in the Hip Hop Industry as well. I think if all musicians stay neutral like Zenglen, Nu Look, etc, the HMI would be boring in my opinion.

For me it shows a lack of good judgment, taste and respect. The lack of respect is not only for the group that you are attacking but also yourself and your band. What is killing me in all of the polemic crap is that they think the more dirt they can get on the other band and sing about it the better off they will be and that will prove they are superior to the other group. Someone needs to tell them wake up. I wonder if they see by doing that they are loosing respect of a lot of their fans and turn off other potential or even existing fans.

Rey -

I feel you. I'm not crazy about it either.

But wait a minute! The last time I checked, this line of work is called "Entertainment." It's nickname is "Show business."

Lets not kid ourselves guys....at least not too much.

From the Nas and Jay-Z saga all the way to Sweet Micky vs TVICE and now Djakout vs. TVICE, this stuff is done - and there's a reason for it. There's a market out there for that. People want to see things spiced up a little bit. Heck - that's how Mickey makes his money; spicing things up! There is a time to tone it down and there's a time to crank it up. Not everyone wants to see all bands kiss, hug, and make up. There's an audience who just want to hear the insults and such....eventhough the artists themselves may be cool with each other when it's all said and done. Often time there's an understanding too. But the point is - it's all part of the business.

There's an audience who want to see people make complete num-nutts out of themselves on American Idol. What do the producers do? They devote nearly a whole show to it - and then 4 or 5 shows later - they get down to the people that actually know how to sing. Show business.

There's an audience who wants to see Donald Trump make MBAs, lawyers, engineers and other professionals feel like complete dirt in the boardroom. What do the producers do? They make the part where people are getting fired and creating useless drama in the boardroom the longest part of the show. Show business!

The only difference is - in the HMI, there aren't any producers pulling the strings on live shows. Its the artists stirring up controversies to attract the public and reach fame faster. But trust me - if producers were involved, they'd have the HMI more like WWF - or now WWE!

Why- you ask? It's showbiz !

DJ Pepla, I hear what you and Ti Boxer are saying but I guess I'm one of the people that is tired of hearing this crap. I can understand that during Carnival time you can get away with saying some things, and that is fine by me as long as you are not taking it to far, but for every single bal the talking trash need to stop.

As for Mickey, he is in a category by himself. You cannot compare him to anyone.
