Message behind Music By: Daisha Reid
Music is formed to get things across people and make them known about what is going on in the world. Artist like Tupac had messages left and right about his music and what going on in the real world. He speaks about his mother and the hardships of raising two kids without their father and the struggle of him not growing up without a father. Messages like these get to people because they can relate to them and understand where the artist is coming from. On the other hand, now we have artists that talk about money and inappropriate things, and that's the type of music this generation likes. Now those are messages people can relate to too, but there's no real meaning, of what they have been through or signs of accomplishments that they've done to show us why we should care so much about how much money you have Sometimes people don't even understand why this person is rapping about this because, the main thing artists are trying to do is bring your attention to the music by putting catchy words and signs in it, but not focusing on what people might think when they hear what the song really means. Having messages in a song could be a good thing, but also be a bad thing at the same time. If someone is sending the right message then we can really understand the concept of the song, but if its the wrong message then we don't care about what they are talking about , we care how many times we can sing the song over and over again. People should be urged to have the right message behind their music so people can really understand where they are coming from
