Aspiring rap star shoot friends as a sacrifice to the Illuminati

A bit off-topic, but I much prefer the idea of slightly tipsy, mostly benevolent overlords to the people currently in charge. All hail the Inebriati!
Well, the "sacrifice" got shot in the hand and got skin/bone in his eye, but then he shot the rapper in the stomach.
Sounds like he got a chunk of punishment already (no one died, btw).

HA! That's hilarious! Well, you know, more for us than the families of all them dead kids.
Makes me think of them rappers called So Solid Crew, a bunch of middle class kids who made a grime outfit and had lots of PR. One of them took a gun to nightclub, alledgedly as a sort of publicity stunt, ran off when the bouncer went to search him and dumped it in a bin. Twit ended up getting sent to prison.
Then again, they later doubled the size of the band (group?) and got bona fide poverty stricken losers and one of them shot his girlfriend. Which just proves that you can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes you just might get what you need.

Or even branch out into Death Rock? With dedication like his, there's nothing in Heaven or Hell that could stop him.Shinsei-J said:

That's more easily explained based on the fact that we'd rather fap to our celebrities than be wowed by their talent.HoneyVision said:
Nicki Minaj's story is actually quite sad if you care about serious music. She was slowly getting notice and "hype" in the underground rap world after releasing a couple pretty good free projects. Back in those days she could actually rap really well, and she had a certain energy and charisma that few could match. She got signed by a pretty famous record label, but when they tried to sell her to mainstream audiences she didn't do very well. So they/herself changed her style to a more "poppy" RnB/sing-rap that was much more commercially viable. As time went by she veered more and more into pop territory until we got the trainwreck we have now. The really sad part is that she may very well have driven this process herself to capitalize on the whims of the pop-buying public.Guitarmasterx7 said:
Neither back-room deals nor autotune (autotune isn't nearly as effective as some people seem to think) is to blame for the kind of pop we hear. There is certain "formulas" that maximizes your chances of getting popular and when wringed through those standards artists tend to lose all resemblance of personality and oppurtunities to make use of your talent. Talent is actually kinda irrelevant in the pop formula. Lady Gaga is a musical prodigy and Katy Perry can barely hit a note right, they're still both incredibly sucessful artists in the same field. It doesn't really matter since all the musical "components" is being taken care of by specialists (Producers for the instrumental, songwriters for sing-along-ability etc.). The artist still has to be a good "face" for the product though, which is why you (generally) won't find an ugly popstar. If the label can find a girl both pretty and talented that's great, if she's just pretty then the lack of musical inclination isn't that big of a deal.
Can't you guys see that it was obviously the Illuminati who set the whole thing up in the first place?
Chris Brown as the rapper.teh_Canape said:
Maybe the the guy was his boyfriend!
It all makes sense now, and ties into gays being the Illuminati's plan of reducing the population, to control us more easily!
I'm sorry, I just couldn't resist.

Yup. Ever seen the hit count on a youtube video with nice T and/or A in the thumbnail? Same principle.Zachary Amaranth said:
Also, music can be addictive, and pop music is designed specifically to feed that addiction to make optimal profit. Different types of melodies and rythms release different mixtures of chemicals into your brain, some more pleasurable than others. A long time ago (probably in the 80's, I can see Michael Jackson playing a role in this), the formulas needed to produce specific reactions were perfected. Pop music has become exponentially homogonized over the last 20 or so years because "pop musicians" are trying to mimic the formula to keep you buying records. All they really have to do is use a minor scale, keep the lyrics inoffensive, stay in 4/4 time and roughly around 120-160 bpm, and wrap it all up at about 3 and a half minutes. The song's only purpose is to get you addicted to it... like it's an advertisement for itself.
Sounds like a nutty conspiracy, hm?
It's pretty easy to believe that if you think there is somebody in charge of all this. I don't think there is. Just an unregulated bastardization of a useful science, like any other industry.
Wait, you're telling me that the famous singers out there who got where they are by sacrifacing their friends to achive stardom? That make sense for some of the current singers out there at the moment.
