As the heading states: I'm referring to 'talent shows' as a business, group or persons having one, two, or more persons on their squad who basically have no talent and it's ruining the whole concept. And everybody in the click is talking so loud about how they are the shit, that nobody can hear or see the lack of talents displayed. And if the lack of talent is recognized, the truth is not revealed because of protecting long-term friendships whether they are intimate lovers or close acquaintances. This is clearly evident that business and personal affairs don't mix!!!
If your folks are not talented enough to carry you and the group or business, then there needs to be a cut-off point. But you have to recognize that. If your friendship or relationship has grown that much where you can't make the right business decision with them, then perhaps they are not best for the business, or you are not serious about this industry of entertainment.
It's always easy to encourage by telling the truth. If you feel perhaps they need conditioning and or re-assessment with what they call a gift, then we as open ears and eyes should give them that. Be honest. It may hurt at first, but there's no way it's not going to help them later on.
I've watched the wanna be's and the gonna be's. I've seen knuckle-heads say they're hot, and depending on and dancing to the rhythm of their own drums while hyping themselves and juggling between each other for ^5's. That's cool, but you've got to come outside your circle and connect with a group of true supporters. (Real ears and non-biased opinions)
Perhaps I want to see the best in everyone, and for everyone to succeed. But we all know that's not possible. As producers, artists and business leaders, we all need support. I'm not talking about your fans or dawgs that hang out with you in the studio -- but a group of people who support your movement and are true fans of your talent. We can sit around all day and talk jive about how we're the hottest shit to hit the streets, but what happens when you got to prove it. And in that case, if you're good, it will reveal itself. People talk, and people listen.
Check yourselves and your group of talents you're working with, and sit down and have the talk if you need to. Evaluate the circumstances and the situations. Keep it real with your peoples, and by all means remain humble! There are too many arrogant players on the field. Be the one to stand out by doing business and making music that makes others brag about you.
Keep risin…
