You get no love...

This is going to sound like a random post, or maybe it wont (if you know me well enough you know I'm an addict to music)...

I've been listening to Lupe Fiasco all day and I just need to give him a huge shout out a long with all the other amazing MC's out there that get no love by mainstream media. I guess you have to have a bumping beat and lyrics that degrade on all levels (insert "make her say ahh") to get your songs played. I'm not going to sit here and say I don't jam away to a li'l wayne song if I happen to wander into a lounge, but I know and acknowledge that there is way more out there than just JayZ, 50 Cent and the other 5 that are on heavy rotation.

A lot of dudes trying to make it out there in the "game" but I'd say 90% lack the real talent and the other 10% lack the drive, or have the drive but no one shows them love. (hug it out).

It sucks that real talent sometimes goes over looked simply because the next looks more glittery. Take a look at BeyBey @ the Grammys. I loved her performance and was a fan of Sasha Fierce. BUT she is over saturated and if I see one more video with leotards and two back up dancers I'm going to have to give myself a time out. -_- 6 awards? a new record set? are you serious? Adele (amazing artist) was over looked, India Arie got like 3 minutes of air time on the tvguide network and the person interviewing her didn't even know she had just won an award. SMH.

Can other artist get some shine!? Mi gente, please. Explore and open your mind to the many possibilities that music, art, dance and theater provide... there is a huge world out there waiting for you to google it.

Lovely.
