Trying to decide what 'matters'. Got into an argument about Lil' Wayne last night.
Worst 'musician' ever or 'genius'?
Some say he's 'brainwashing/poisoning the nation'. But he must be doing something 'right' to be so successful right? I want to say that he is doing both.
Kinda envious of Lil' Wayne for 'working the system' so he can 'smoke weed everyday' and 'not give a fuck'. Who cares right? Wonder what Lil' Wayne is thinking about. Wonder if he is 'depressed' for what he represents to some people ('manipulator'/'slime' of the world) or if he is happy because he is 'living the high life'.
People complain that music today isn't what it used to be (the Beatles + Pink Floyd). 'Artists' like Lil' Wayne have made music much more confusing. What is 'good' music anymore?
Who is he? How did he get to where he is? Why is he doing it?
Is Lil' Wayne 'saying something' with his music? Does he have 'good intentions'? Is he 'misunderstood'? Can we learn anything from this 'abomination'/'genius'?
Is there something wrong with 'liking' something that others/yourself may see as music that isn't 'good'? I don't think it 'matters'. Who are we to judge what it 'good' or 'bad'? If you 'make it' someone thought you were 'good' or 'bad' enough for attention. What makes one person's opinion better than another person's. I think you reach a point of 'fame' or 'making it' where all opinions of you only perpetuate your 'fame' or 'making it' even more. I'm a bit envious of Lil' Wayne.
Should Lil' Wayne be a 'role model' for us all? Should I try to 'be like him' too? Are there things that we can 'over look' to justify our actions to 'make it'?
Wonder if Lil' Wayne would more phenomenal if there wasn't anything about him that could be considered 'bad'. Would he be 'good' by default? Or is it the struggle between 'good' and 'bad' that draws in his audience?
Just trying to figure out what 'matters'. I 'could have died' last night.
