The Impact of the Media

Now days music artist making business by being the spotlight of the media doing something to attract the attention of the media . Honestly for some it' benefits them in a positive way & for some it benefits them in negative ways . For example Kanye west for example the way he carries himself out in public and the way he talks on interviews gives off that he is a ass hole and just don't give fuck when in all he is a good person he just doesn't tolerate bullshit and by home acting this way he gains support and business from people who like him and he also loses business from people  that just doesn't care for him because of his personality . So I honestly feel that the way these artist are marketing themselves are through media and the Internet , I mean everybody sees it and everyone is also on the Internet . They market they self by fashion and trends by the way they dress and the clothes they wear which is big for some people , they also have endorsements like food commercials and electronics commercials which are all media . A lot of artist now are signed to label because the label gives them that exposure and that push to get out in the public to sell . People are discovering artist now by YouTube clips mix tapes with different tracks of their music and that artist being featured on a big name song with a big name artist . I strongly feel that it's translating into money for the label and less money for the Artist because the money that comes from sales goes and videos views and albums goes to the label first and they get the main cut so often time the artist doesn't even see all the money they should because of the label needs their money to keep business but I feel it definitely brings money to both the label and artist . I don't this will effect a record company because at the end of the day the record company is always gonna be needed just so the artist could get that exposure. I strongly feel that these marketing plans are destroying the radio and cd buying because why would I listen to the radio where there's a possibility of me hearing what I don't even want to fuckin hear when I can just use YouTube to listen to whatever I want on repeat or use my spotify where I can listen to what I want for free if I don't buy the premium version but on the serious side tho why would I buy a CD or listen to radio when I got what I want to listen for free just think about it 💭💭👀
