If There is Something To Be Changed

  Jimmy Hendrix once said, “If there is something to be changed in this world, then it can only happen through music.” One of President Barrack Obama’s slogans was change. One might infer that President Obama was only elected because of the support from music and music artistes. I would not argue with that opinion. One can define the last election to be the first technical election. President Barrack Obama was elected with the support of Musical Artist. To trace if Music artist wanted to change the world they can succeed effortlessly.
 
   A music artist has a great deal of power over more things that they may think. To summarize on August 23, 2005 Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans 1,836 deaths were confirmed. Music Artist Kanye West and other music artist hosted a Katrina fund Raiser. During the show, Kanye West described President George W. Bush, as a racist and said “George Bush doesn’t care about black people”. In a recent interview with former President George W. Bush said when artist Kanye West accused him of being a racist was the lowest point of his presidential career. If a single artist saying one line can damage a president’s career, what can’t they do?

   If music artist cannot change the world, they can definitely influence young adults of this day. If one would analyze today’s youth one would find that almost everything we do is influence by some sort of musical artist. From the things we wear, the way we think, and the way we act. In January 2010 Adidas sale rate was at  25.50 in  April 27, 2010 when Artist B.o.B album The Adventures of Bobby Ray was released the sales rating jumped to 35.50, when B.o.B mentioned Adidas’ in his song saying “respect me like I’m Caesar I kick it like Adidas, flowing’ sticky like adhesive”.

   Most Americans and most people in the world are like sheep. They are told what to do, wear, think in 
 almost every aspect of their lives. As humans, we are made to mimic what we see if music artist can make the average person wear their endorsements and bring attention to foreign disaster together there is nothing a music artist cannot do.
 
    However, this is easier said than done. Music artist have influenced this generation to the extent that when someone does speak out they are mostly looked down on and shutout. This is not a by coincidence. The music industry does not want their music artist speaking out against the system and filling today’s youth with knowledge nor does some of the music artist themselves.
