fukk outta here. You think Carly Rae Jespen and Taylor Swift are making the kind of music they REALLY wanna make? You think there aren't/weren't punk/metal/rock/white kid angst bands making "mad" music when they were really happy as fukk?

The music industry is FULL of artists who aren't doing the kind of "art" that they want to do because the labels don't think the people are gonna buy it.

I remember hearing that Taylor Swift sings about her "life".

But I see your point, I really think Jay and Beyonce fits the point of your post, Jay admitted it with that "common sense" line and I doubt Beyonce could relate to songs like "best thing I never had" and that "you must not know about me" song and "video phone" etc.

Her New Show strictly to show her relationship has problems too lol

In order for them to still be married im sure the good times outweigh the bad times but the majority of the show after the marriage has been about the bad times. The 1 show on BET that showed a loving Black family was that Terry Crews reality show and they canceled that shyt the moment they seen dude refused to argue with his wife.

Pop artist most certainly have more freedom as adults than r&b artist do. Taylor Swift is making the kind of music she wants to make. She has the leverage to do so. Her label wouldn't keep her on the shelf if she wanted to make different kind of topics. At her age what do you think she wants to sing about? Revolution?

Pop artists have the LEAST freedom of them all, since they have the largest fanbases and the labels have the largest investment in them. The more records you sell/money you make for the label, the larger control they're going to take over your product.

Fam, Ciara could never have a record like Christina Aguilara's "Beautiful" as a single. Lady Gaga is pop and can do a song about a wide variety of things as opposed to the box that Kelly Rowland is in.

Fam, Nas can/has taken more risks with his music than Britney Spears even thought about taking. Lupe Fiasco has released more off the wall singles than Eminem even thought about doing.

LOL

This is why Mary J kinda fell off for a bit before she came back big in '05-06 with that Breakthrough album

She started making that more upbeat stuff in between and her sales fell off.

:laugh: @ having to walk around singing sad ass songs all day to appease ur fanbase.

We comparing Britney to Nas or Britney to Keyshia? Like I said before, if Ciara tried to make some uplifting shyt like Taylor Swift can her label would shelf her shyt. They only want love,hate and dance music from that bish.
