unfortunately in todays Industry the music part isn’t so important, looks play a big part.. but i think you have to have a combination of both talent and look/”swag”.. i hate to use that cliche word but until record labels are convinced that talent sells over vanity, it will remain this way. it’s just business for them at the end of the day

I never expected like you said poster-boy like Pharrel to speak on this appearance thing which seems to be important in the music-industry.

“Seems like people listen music with they eyes nowadays and not they ears”
i dont know where i got that from but i think its kinda true.

“Hot beats” is subjective. That’s part of the reason he was criticized. And Pharrell does have a record label, doesn’t he? Hmm…I’d say that involves some kind of control over the artists on his roster.

Isn’t it ironic that the guy who is criticizing the acceleration of the style-over-substance culture in music at the dawning of this century was pretty much criticized for being its poster boy?

He has worked with all the artists who had appearance so he knows best. now that he’s rich and bored he wants to bring it back to that real.he had a chance to work with mad skillz more often than not. and he started giving his own va artists not the whole va ‘ but his own artists table scraps. Famlay ‘ Clise ect . the last clipse album with the “mr me too” was all throw away beats . now the clipse are hot again with the kida big deal joint feat konye west because they finally had enough scence to invest in thier own production.shit pharrel is intenationally known but not locally respected and the clipse is not far off that path.20.00 to get in to a whole in the wall club is not giving shit back .they have a album release party every 2 days it seems like lol
im not mad there all dope.i just know that my city could do alot better.they need a tony traxx . i’ll rep this bitch like nelly does st louis and like jay reps brooklyn ‘ like bun b reps h-town if i had a chance.its a shame because someone opened the door for them by chance and they closed it back on us.Im not bitter but i have seen alot of dope producers and artists quit all todether cause they couldn”t get it poppn here and thats fucked up.psycologically thats what creates haters .
