I’ve made it known that I have a disdain for recording artists publicly criticizing other artists (see my 6-29-09 post about Keri Hilson). In a nutshell, I think it’s unprofessional and sad, as ALL recording artists have to deal with the same crappy things that come with being in the industry. They shouldn’t destroy one another. I’m bringing this back up because I recently saw a Michael Jackson interview in which he said the following: “I’ve been an artist most of my life, doing what I do, and I’ve NEVER attacked another artist. Great artists don’t do that. You don’t have to do that.” Enough said.
Critical statements from one artist to another often stem from one of two things: jealousy or the feeling that the art of music is being disrespected. The remedy for jealousy: learn from them, watch what they do and figure out how to do it better. The remedy for preservation of the art: do what you do great 10 times harder. Don’t get distracted honing your craft. The end.
