YouTube Music Freedom Petition... SIGN IT UP!

Musicians with NO talent.

What's up with all these new musicians and rappers who think talent is something you acquire (through a good record company and good equipment)? I'm really starting to think becoming a star is not about knowing how to produce music, but basically just a hype. I mean seriously - autotune is free, and anybody can rent a recording studio for a couple bucks. And if you listen, you can hear a recurring trend in new artists. when asked what their motto is, they always say something along the lines of "My motto is just to be yourself, nobody can tell you you're wrong" I mean I'll be damned if I haven't heard that over 56 times already. And I've heard 10 songs that sound exactly the same. When I hear a song for the first time on the radio, I often can't tell which artist is singing. I heard a song called "My Last" by Big Sean, and I seriously thought it was Drake. And then i heard the song "Copy + Paste" by Diggy Simmons, and, just like Sean, I truly thought Drake was rapping. I'm not trying to disrespect any musicians, I'm just pointing something out. I know for a fact that (obviously) there ARE talented artists and rappers (Drake, Lil Wayne, Lady Gaga, Adele, etc.), but the number is slowly diminishing. I find myself turning off the radio because all I hear is nonsense. occasionally, a great song would come on, but that's almost as rare as hearing a politician live up to their promises...
