King Bey Said Bow Down ****

My Girl Said Bow Dow

Beyoncé is one of the biggest names in the business. She recently released a song that shocked everyone. When we first seen her with group mates in Destiny’s Child he music was along the lines of “Bills,Bills,Bills”, “Cater to You”, Soldier, and the very popular “ Survivor”.

Her newest song is called “ I Been On”. The H-Town chick came out of her in this tune. She gets grimy and ethnic. To see what I am talking about just take a listen yourself. 

I personally enjoyed it myself. I ask why the change though. They say if it isn’t broke don’t fix it. So why switch it and change something that has worked so well for her.  If you ask me it is because she is an artist. Not just an artist a dynamic artist. She doesn’t have one face.  As an artist manager I would rather work with one of her kind. If I need her to get a tad hood or extra classy she is able to do it.  As to why, it is because that is part of who she is. She is from Houston Texas, as she will gladly tell you and tunes like that are apart of the culture. For example listen to this freestyle with BigPokey.  Beyoncé recently started managing herself. This is great because her true talent is starting to shine. She paid her dues by doing what everyone else wanted and sold millions doing it. You would think she has earned her respect from her fans that they would support her differences and maturity. That was not the case!

Her fans were partial in her recent song release.  Most people think she is being untrue or trying to fit in where she is not. That’s not fair. I hope they see she is being true to her dynamic personality.  I mean gosh Lil Wayne goes into the studio high as a kite, sips on syrup and puts his body in jeopardy to make a hit. The fans have labeled him as the best rapper alive. But when Beyoncé gets into the booth in her right mind we cant accept her.  We as a society got to start respecting true artistry. 

Forever Changing

Music is my passion. I am well rounded and I enjoy all types. So why wouldn’t I want to work for that industry. I see it as art. It intrigues me to watch how much the music and entertainment world evolves. The industry is forever evolving which is the beauty of it.  When I first fell in love with the beat of a song would be when I was running around the house as kid singing. I remember many of times singing “This Weekend” by Anne Nesby  . The funny thing is I didn’t realize my mom was talking about getting rid of my brother and I. All I knew was I loved that sound. When I would go to my friend house we would make up dances to Whitney Houston Step by Step. Music now is completely different.

Now, the kinds of things that catch my ears are far different. Tunes about being rich and the finest thing in the club gets my hips moving.  An intense beat drop with a beautiful stream of cords and piano puts me in my feelings every time.

Notice as I change my choice of music changes. So how can artist possibly keep up?

It takes a talented person to evolve with music. If you ask me Lil Wayne is just that.  Look at his career. Check out his feature in “ I Need a Hot Girl” with Cash Money Millionaire’s in 1999.  Now fast forward to 2011. He drops a hit called “ How to love” Notice those two song are totally different. He even picked up a skate boy act. Some of his fans that loved him when he was just a boy from New Orleans are upset. They feel he has gone too far from his roots. I am here to tell you those statements aren’t true. He is evolving. He still is one of the most respected rappers around no matter which roll he is playing at the time.  He is giving the people what they want and still reaching success. He could be a gangster rapper one second and free spirited skaters kid the next regardless, he will give you a show. That is the definition of an artist isn’t it? So why be mad at Wayne.

As music continues to evolve I expect many more changes from our artist. It may get more strange things in the years to come.
