The Industry

My whole life I have had a passion for expressing my feeling to others. Whether it was through acting, writing poetry, public speeches or just arguing with someone about whom the best basketball player in the NBA is. When I was about 16 years old I decided to start rapping and turn my passion to express into music. I had been writing poetry for as long as I could remember, so rapping was nothing more than poetry with a beat. It’s been three years since I decided to become an artist. My dream would to get sign by a label put out an album. But after watching the movie in class I find myself questioning if the industry is something I truly want to get into. Music industry is all about making a dollar and not making artist happy. Also, now in today’s industry artist have also deal with the internet song leaks and illegal downloading. The lifestyle showcased of the artist in the movie did not reinforce my dream of being signed. The artist were depressed, did not have sable relationships and abused drugs. Its sad how the artist we praise are so unhappy inside. On second thought made I will continue at University at Buffalo.
