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.
