“REVOLUTION” ON
Wassup people!!! Ourstage is a great platform for the independent artist, you can experience talents of all music genres, film, comedy etc. You as an artist can take advantage of this dynamic site by exposing your trade to the masses, and even win and make sum cash. But I have noticed a flaw in this beautiful diamond in the ruff. It seems to me that the attention of the administration is focused on a selected few. How could this be? A site which claims dedication to the independent, for the fans by the fans, a democracy if you will. My craft (Hip Hop) seems like it gets the shaft, Hip Hop/rap channels hold the predominant number of entries through out, yet the recognition of the site shows no regard of this. Granted 70% of entries on the channels in this category are sub par, it can be said about the rest of the genres.
If you are reading this I urge you to help in the change of this matter. Hip Hop is a movement not a quick fix and a fast buck type of thing. With over 4,000 entries from artists, I figure those numbers reflect the fans at least 2x. This is power people, we need to unify and take control of the situation at hand. Connect with your fellow artists, build relationships, demand our fair share in the promotions, prizes, recogniton on this site. We are the most attractive force as a whole, but seperately we are just anotha rapper. Hip Hop is all about change and bringing awareness to the masses, lets do it.
To Ourstage, WE WANT MORE RECOGNITION!!! We should be showcased just as much as rock, pop artists!!! The talent is here, you know it is, utilize the power we have given you to help expose us as well. Everytime I log in I see a band or sum pop singer, all the ej’s interviews are of these artists not of the Hip Hop/Rap artists. If you need help in this area just ask, you know who the most talked about and watched are. Erase the stereotypical view and interact with us, Im taking this step to do it!!! I have reached out before, but have never received an acknowledgement. Lets work together, because I feel that this is one of the best platforms on the net.
